I have a Winner!

Announcing the winner of my first Giveaway:

Sam from Virginia!

She's a sews and reads.

A big THANKS to everyone who visited my little blog and left a message, followed me or shared my Giveaway with others. I really enjoyed reading about all the hobbies out there. By observation, it seemed like reading was number one and baking was a close second.  I also had a fair number of fellow bicyclist and runners. Then there were a number of interesting one-offs like fly fishing, sailing and horseback riding, to name a few. My heart is with the Mom's of young ones who are just lucky to squeeze in one pastime while they enjoy those special years with their little ones. I've been there.

Thank you to Sew Mama Sew for hosting the event.

On to my Christmas gift progress:

I finished the one quilt on my Christmas Gift list today. Here are some teaser photos to hold you over until I can get good photos. 

I will debut my new-to-me quilt stand with this photo shoot. My traditional guild purchased new stands and offered some of the old ones at $5.00 for a set of legs and $3 for a bar. I was an early taker because I am tired of the grime that always seems to get on my quilts when I use walls, fences and such. I usually do a heavily pieced back and it takes a full shot to show the detail of the larger scale piecing. I'm so excited to try it out.

Well, now that my big piece is done I am ready to get back to making the smaller presents on my list. I just downloaded a Noodlehead pattern today. 

Ya wanna guess which one?

Thanks for visiting!
