I WON A GIVEAWAY!!!

I entered a lot of giveaways during the Fall into Fall Giveaway that lots of bloggers were participating in - and I won!  Sandi Blackwell is a designer and I won her new book!  She has a "no math" method of making setting triangles and her book explains it all with several patterns.  I'm planning to make a table runner as soon as I get  a spare minute (I have several projects to baste right now and plan to baste later this morning).  I hope you will check out her web site here.  

She also sent me this Just for Fun paper piecing pattern with fabric.  The fabric was folded together in a really cute star, but I took it apart before taking the picture - and couldn't figure out how to put it back together!  Looks like fun!  Thank you so much Sandi!
I made some chicken pincushions last week.  I've had the pattern for ages and have always wanted to make some and the fabric left over from a Judie Rothermel kit seemed perfect!  It was already cut into strips.  I bought some crushed walnut shells at a pet store to fill them with.


GUESS WHAT?  This is my 199th post!!!  That means the next time I post, it will be my 200th and I think I will need to have a giveaway myself!  I wonder what I will give?  Be sure to check back to see when I post my 200th.  I don't know how soon I will do it, but probably some time this week.

  1. What a fantastic prize and those chickens are too cute. I have one I won a LONG time ago and he's missing his eyes and most of his felt beak and comb, too, thanks to furry intervention!

    Love your "Chickens" I have that pattern someplace---maybe I should have put is back in place inside the Chicken file!!!! They look so cute sitting up on the shelf.
