Happy Thursday!

Tonight is my local guild meeting. This month we celebrate our 2 year anniversary! Who woulda thunk it? GRIN!!! After the meeting, we are gonna work on our 'scrappy stack n slash' heart quilts. Just a little fun thing to do as a group. Some are just starting to trace their patterns this month, so it's an ongoing project. One of the members had carpal tunnel surgery a while ago...and now has less use of one of her hands/wrist than before...so I'm gonna cut her blocks for her.

I'm a winner!!! My closest LQS (local quilt shop) had a huge sale last week. 35-50% off, along with the 3/yard and 4/yard fabrics. Of course a few found their way home with me. That was winning for sure...love sales! Also...if you bring in your postcard, you get to enter the door prize drawing. I never win at those things, but always enter...until now!!! Woo Hoo!!! Linda called me on Tuesday morning (they are closed Sun-Mon), and told me I won!!! It's a pink tool type carrier...once I pick it up, I'll take a pic and post here. I admit, I didn't look at it too much when I was in the shop, cuz never thought I'd win! HA!!!

I got some great deals...here's some pics of a what jumped into my arms...

Can you see the piggies on motorcycles? Too cute!!! Thought the cows were cute too...and in the first picture, there are some bears on clouds.

And, then I got this purple to go with some fabric that Kimberly sent me from the Quilting Passion forum...these will become a quilt for Project Linus in Jan J's memory.

That really is purple!!! I'm thinking of doing a D9P, quick and easy. But, have a couple things that have to be done first...so on to those this week...

Last week, I cut a bunch of blocks out, and then on Friday, was able to sew, press, sew, press...etc! I got 14 blocks done. Some of these were for comfort quilts, some were just thank you blocks for all a couple of the QP gals have done for the forum.

These are for Val for all that she does for the forum and it's members. She has collected blocks, assembled them and quilted quite a few comfort quilts.


These were for Sheryl...she is an invaluable member of the forum also, and does alot of stuff behind the scenes...












And, then these blocks...for the family of a soldier that was KIA.





















So, I've been keeping busy...




More storms in TX last night...again, luckily, they went all around us. Whew!!! Of course, humidity this morning was 85%...YUCK!

I'm learning how to add pics to this blog thing. I'm sure I'll learn other things thru trial and error. And, my DF Debi, who is a great blogger, is gonna give me some pointers when we see each other next...May 10th, when the DFW Quilt Gang is having a 'sit n sew'.

Y'all have a wonderful day!
