Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. ~ Colossians 3:23, NLT

I love the Connecting Thread products. I, too, have never been disappointed with them. My choices are 3,2,1

Needled Mom will be receiving her first choice, the brown bundle.

The second number chosen was #8.

Sallie said... 8

I blogged about it at http://salliessampler.blogspot.com/2012/05/muchas-hilachas-fat-quarter-giveaway.html

Sallie also said in post # 7,  “I'd choose browns, then pink & purples, then greens & blues.”  Since Sallie’s first choice goes to Needled Mom, she gets her second choice which is the pink and purple bundle.

The third number chosen was # 111.

Anita said... 111

Thank you for a chance to win! Congrats on your 200th post!
I'd love 1, 2, 3 in that order. =)

Since Sallie got Anita’s 1st choice, Anita gets her second choice which is the green and blue bundle.

Congratulations on your wins.  I know you ladies will enjoy your bundles so just send me your address and I’ll get these off to you right away.  

That is all.

One-Flower Wednesday and Last Call for 200th Post Giveaway

Encouraging words of the day:
So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. ~ 1 Corinthians 16:13, NLT

This day is just flying by.  Here it is 3:30 pm on  “One Flower Wednesday” and I’m just now preparing my 200th blog post J.  Well, yes, it’s been a long time coming.  I first posted on October 4, 2010.  And yes, time has flown.  I had not realized I had so many friends waiting for me in Blogland or I would have started a blog long before that.  Of course, long before that, I didn’t even know what a blog was.  Thanks to all of you, my dear blogging friends for making my day, every day.  I’ve learned so much from you and have enjoyed spending time with you.  Onward we go to many more visits.  Thanks for being there (here).

And what have I been so busy doing?  Well, preparing items to post today.  As I said before, it is that day when Karen from Journey of a Quilter provides a linky for “One Flower Wednesday where we can share our hexagon flowers. And I, being one of the Queens of UFOs have started another UFO.  I saw this interesting photo of an optical illusion made of hexagons so off I go to create something else.  This will be my 3rd UFO involving hexagons.  Here’s my flower:

And here’s what I’m going to try to make. Yes, this is made from hexagons.

I found this in an old, old 1992 copy of Quilter's Newsletter Magazine that my Mother has.


Speaking of hexaflowers, here are two I received from my partner, Cathy, for for the "Inchy Hexagon Flower Swap" where each month we swap hexie flowers.  Here are the lovely flowers I received from Cathy from Canada.  Thanks, Cathy.

And don’t forget about my 200th Post Giveaway!   My sponsor for this giveaway is "Connecting Threads."   

They have donated the entire beautiful "Sweetgrass Prairie Collection” which will be divided among 3 winners. Check it out at this link.  It ends tonight, June 6th at midnight MDT. 

That is all.

200th Post Giveaway and My Jane L4 and L7

My Jane L4 and L7
Encouraging words of the day:
For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. ~ Philippians 4:13, NLT

We were in New Mexico over the weekend.  It’s just as hot (almost) there in the mountains as it is in El Paso.  We’re supposed to be in the 100s all week, sweat, sweat.  Since we were gone, I didn’t do much sewing.  I did work on crochet for a prayer shawl on the drive.  Now it’s back to my Civil War Legacy quilt, hexie flower for Wednesday, and back to “My Jane.”  Here are a couple of “My Jane” blocks that I’ve completed.  L-4 looks better in real life than it does in the photo and is a keeper even though the photo does it no justice.

 L-4

 L-7

L-7 just looks so plain but it was easy and I’m keeping this too.

Giveaway:
"Sew, Bitter Sweet Designs" has a Layer Cake of Quilt Blocks to send home with one of their readers. - ends June 7th.
