Great News,a Giveaway, and My Irish Coffee Wallhanging


As you know, I am one of the hosts of the Quilt Pattern Magazine Tour, but I also entered the tour and visited many of the blogs on the tour too. I won two subscriptions to the magazine, so besides getting mine for free, I have an extra one, so Cindy has agreed that I can have a giveaway . I will make this one short. On Saturday, I will choose another person to win a year's subscription to the magazine. I already got Issue One, and I am loving it, especially the BOM.

All you have to do is comment on this post and on Saturday, January 8th, at 12 noon Irish time, I will draw the winner. I am thrilled to be able to do this, and thanks to Cindy for giving me the go ahead.

As promised, I wanted to also show you my Irish Coffee Wall hanging which I finished
and is now hanging in the kitchen. I love coffee, and so this is very appropriate indeed. Irish coffee is just so yummy, and I have given you the recipe for it over the Christmas holidays, so you can try it out too.

We are off to Letterkenny for for food shopping...Enjoy your day!
