Upcoming Pincushion Parade AND Prizes.

Encouraging Words of the Day:

It's been a while since I've blogged. You know. As everyone says, life happens but I know life happens to us all and some of you keep blogging. Anyway, here I am...

I have been sewing all along. I've been working on this GFG made up of 1/2-inch hexies and have sewn 200 together although the project is only about 46 X 50 inches.

I also continue to sew hexie flowers for swap partners in the "Inchy Hexagon Flower Swap." These are the flowers I sent to my August swap partner who asked for flowers from Civil War fabric with a cream center.

Also completed this quilt top in the "Aiming for Accuracy" quilt-along. I still need to quilt it.

AND, I also want to tell you about an exciting upcoming event. My sister who blogs at "my sister made me do it" is hosting her annual "Pincushion Parade" starting on September 5. It gives us all an opportunity to show off our pincushions PLUS win exciting prizes. Everyone wins something! How exciting is that? Click on the Pincushion photo below to learn more.

That is all.

Happy Easter!

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb... They found the stone rolled away and when they went in, they did not find the body. While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them and said, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen!" (Luke 24:1-6)

Anthea's Piece Yourself Together

Once again I find myself rushing to make it to Anthea’s "Piece Yourself Together" linky at "Hibiscus Stitches." I’ve been sewing hexie flowers like crazy and have these to show you that I've received.

These were received from a swap I found on Facebook where hexie flowers are traded all over the world..


I've been busily making followers to in return as well send as well.

Neighborhood Block Party Winners

Encouraging Words of the Day:

Many thanks to all of you who joined the "Neighborhood Block Party." We loved having you and enjoyed seeing all of your blocks. We received 5 extra house blocks from you for the charity quillt which Ida from " My Sister Made Me Do It..." is busily sewing up along with some orphan blocks. I can't wait to see what she comes up with. Ida is always so creative so I know it will be beautiful.

Speaking of which, I can't wait to see what our winners come up with using their 12 house blocks. Yes, we had several participants in the Block Party, enough that our 2 winners have won 12 blocks each. SO, the winners, chosen randomly by writing their names down on little pieces of paper, shaking up this little box, and

Voila!

The winners are Maria from Australia and Coralie from Canada. Congratulations! Please email me with your mailing address and the blocks will be flying off to you.

That is all.

Check out other’s “ice cream” photographs. Click here.
