I'm a Craft Gossip give-away winner!!

I'm so lucky! I won a give-away from Craft Gossip Needlework! This book just arrived at my house...

here's the back cover-check out that window!
and here's a close-up of the small left side square...I can't believe this is machine stitched!

Something new has been added to my mental list of 2010 projects-trying free motion machine embroidery! I'm thinking totally out of the box for me-some small embroideries to frame!

Thank you Denise from Craft Gossip Needlework and thank you Patty from Pip Stitch for letting me know about the give-away!

Give-away Win Received

Check out the wonderful goodies I received yesterday from Karen. I was one of the winners of her wonderful acrylic template give-away. The Marti Mitchell acrylic templates are for Drunkard's Path and other curved patterns and mean I can use my rotary cutter-no marking with a pencil and no cutting with scissors! I have wanted to make a Drunkard's Path quilt since I started quilting and now I will! These are the large size templates-for 6", 6 1/2". or 7" units- easy curves and quick cutting and large blocks-perfect!

And Karen sent along this lovely wallet pattern and the beautiful batik I've laid the packets out on, plus a lovely note.

Make sure you hop on over to Karen's lovely blog-you have to see the wonderful Christmas applique and her two, yes two, Jane Stickle quilts she is working on!
