Chickens in the Box

I was clearing out some old scraps the other day from a box in my garage. I'd started to just throw it out without looking inside but got curious. Thank goodness for curiosity because lookie what I found... CHICKENS!!! This is a quilt from a long ago block swap. All I'll need to go is put a binding on it. Surely I can get that done before long!!!

Good News...........Catching Up

It's all "good news"..........First of all, Happy first of June!

The winner of all those wonderful patterns is.......
Needled Mom!  Congratulations. Just email me your address and I'll get those out to you. My "E" is on my "About Me" page.

I've mailed out my two swap items.....the apron I'm showing off is from the "Pin Up Girls" swap with Val as hostess and the T-towel (which I made one for myself) is from Betsy's swap (closed swap at this time). It was a close call but I managed to get busy at the last moment.......LOL

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Memorial weekend.  If you are following my tutorial for "Just In Time for the 4th," there's plenty of time to catch up from TUTORIAL #1 and TUTORIAL #2 links.  Eagles is the subject matter and having fun while experimenting with fabrics is the name of the game.

It's Here!

My package arrived today.......Notice the windblown hair.....I ran out to the mailbox and zipped back to the house...I was so excited.

My girlfriend, Maree and I are exchanging fabrics from your countries (12X12 inch pieces),,,....We were so excited to do this, just like two little school girls planning a sleepover. Above are the pictures of me getting her package and showing the wonderful things off. Note the pretty fabrics. I think some of them are sort of Retro but may not......Love Them!!! Look at the pouch that Maree stitched my name on....(love it) The girl has talent for sure. Then there's the Homespun Quilting Magazine from Australia, (I love these mags because they have soooo much interesting stuff to do and read) "Our Garden" pattern from Country Cottage Collection, a "box" of buttons (which "wacky" has been talking to Maree about my box fetish????); and lots more. We can't wait for the next exchange....so stay tuned everyone!
