I feel like I have unearthed
a four leaf clover from our white ground cover! So many happy things have come
my way.
First, I discovered my
Shenandoah Valley Botanical Quilt was in issue #129 of Quiltmania. You may
recall Doreen (Aunt Reen’s Place) curated a fabulous exhibition of these quilts
at Houston last Fall. Quiltmania chose to publish two, mine and Karen Beigh’s
(Log Cabin Quilts) wonderful chocolate background beauty. This is the third
time I have had a quilt in this magazine. I think I need to go to France!
On Sunday I had a rare day
alone in my sewing room! I began preparations for the string-a-long with Lori
(Humble Quilts) and was able to complete 4 little hexie flowers for my
sew-a-long with Bea and Cecile. Super day!
Then I found out last night
that I was a winner (through Heather’s, Peachy Pages blog) in Diane Knott’s (Butterfly Threads) blog
hop give away for her new book, “Strip Quilt Secrets”. I love Diane’s quilts
and her blog. I’m sure I will gleen some helpful hints for Lori’s string quilt-a-long.
Thanks Diane!
And as if that wasn’t enough,
we had a wonderful 1 year birthday dinner party with this little man. My
daughter made a delicious cake (his first taste of sugar!) which he devoured
with glee. I simply cannot believe an entire year has flown by.
I am blessed!
Congratulations Wendy! How exciting to be in Quiltmania again :0) Your grandson looks adorable - how fun to enjoy his first cake!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Wendy, how wonderful! Yes, take that trip! :) What a beautiful family you have. Aw, little man is precious.
