Sarah from Confessions of a Fabric Addict emailed me that I won her Birthday Giveaway. I won Moda Sweet Treat Mini Honeybuns. I was just tickled pink, and I do thank you again so much Sarah. I am beginning to think that someone is telling me that even though my legs are a mess, I am lucky in other ways. I am listening...LOLI finished my other Dresden
Pillowcase and wanted to show you a pic of the two with my Sylvia Bridal Sampler. They look great with that quilt, even though I made them for the circle quilt I will be making with the GO circle dies. I have had some people, who are new to my blog, ask me about the Sylvia Bridal Sampler. The sampler has 140 traditional 6 inch blocks. It took me four months to complete, and I loved every minute that I worked on it. If you love a sampler, you w
ill love making this quilt. It came from a book that was written by Jennifer Chiaverini, and may I say that I am also a great fan of her Elm Creek Series of books. What a buzz I got from that quilt....I doubt if any other quilt will do that for me.The first book of her series about Sarah reminded me so much of how I felt when I left PA and came to Ireland...There were a lot of things in that book that I related to.
Now, to remind you, that I finished those pillowcases with the AccuQuilt Go Dresden die. Keep in mind, I would have finished them so much quicker if it were not for my darn legs...With the GO, you can finish anything in no time.....You will be like Speedy Gonzalez!
Enjoy Samhain or Halloween as you know it....Don't be too scared...LOL

Micki,
As long as I have visited your blog - you have ALWAYS won something from someone. I think it has to do with the Irish luck! :) You are making me want to move to Ireland. :)
Those pillowcases are pretty, and they are great to compliment Sylvia's Sampler!
Have a great weekend.
The quilt is fantastic and the pillows are very nice, wonderful bright colors. Congrats on your win! You were very lucky! Sorry for your legs, still creating troubles. Take care and enjoy your weekend, Clara.
Micki, did you send Jennifer a photo of the quilt? If you didn't, email me and I will give you her email.
May I please jump in here and ask you to please come over and give a "Thumbs Up" to my Sat. post ,-) I know I'm a bit *frank,* but... Difficult times call for unique measures. ,-)
Gentle hugs...

Hi Micki :)
Wow, super win.
Love your quilts! I'm familiar with this quilt & book. I am happy that you enjoyed the jouney of each block, a blessing so easy to overlook in our busy times (I so see myself in rushing while making a block).
