New Projects and an Exchange

Greetings dear friends and blogging buddies! ~ I can almost hear you all from here saying that you can hardly believe that I have posted almost everyday this week! I'm surprised myself. Isn't it amazing what little things that happen in life can really change how much time you have for something? Well , at any rate, I'm glad you all stopped by today and will stick around a little while to see what's going on in my world today.:)

I received a wonderful exchange this week from Melissa. We were in a Fall Exchange. She stitched an awesome piece and turned it into a lid for a basket. I think the design is a JBW one. Anyone know for sure what this one is? Then as an act of kindness she sent some Ghiradelli chocolate, a little pumpkin figure, a pair of black and white stork embroidery scissors, a couple of fall colored fat quarters, and a cute little pumpkin plant pick. I enjoy it ALL Melissa, thank you very much!

Ok, I mentioned that I was going to be starting another project yesterday. I began stitching and this was as far as I got.

I didn't take a picture of the chart, so I thought I would leave you all guessing on what I am stitching. Anyone know???




I used to have a subscription to McCall's Quilting Quick Quilts. I just love the little sseasonal banners by Pat Sloan that they always publish. This particular one of this little turkey, I have wanted to sew up ever since it came out. Well, that was 11 years ago, and I am FINALLY going to make it this year.

Here are the fabrics I purchased for it. I put them in the wash and now they are just ready for me to get my hands on my rotary cutter and get cutting!

Here's a couple of the fabrics upclose.

I hope you all stay tuned for how these two projects turn out. If you want to sign up for the drawing for the Bushel & A Peck chart from yesterday, be sure and do so before Monday morning as I will be drawing the name then. Thanks so much for stoppimg by today!

'til next time,

don't be a stranger,
