A gift!

Chocolate Cream Pie

I had entered a drawing at LeeAnna's blog in December. She was making these cute pie shaped pin cushions! I had commented on how chocolate cream pie is my favorite and she drew my name! She made a special pie pin cushion just for me! With the Holidays and all, I forgot to blog about it until now. Check out her blog, she has a lot of wonderful ideas!

The only thing on my design wall is something that I cannot show publicly. So this is my design wall post for this week.

And the Heat is ON!

Cutting table

I had planned on spending some serious time in the studio today.  Hmm.  It is after 3pm and I still haven't gotten in there.  I need to clean up the clutter on my cutting table. . .

New project

. . . so that I can start my new project!  It is for a Beatles challenge.  I do still have a month until the deadline. But I really want it done before the night before the deadline.

Wahoo!

One of today's distractions is that the UPS guy showed up.  Hmm, I don't remember ordering anything.  Wahoo!  I won a copy of People & Portraits from Katherine McNeese and Lark books! Thanks a bunch!

Random

And a random photograph to start the week off right.  This silly mohawk balloon magically appeared in our backyard over the weekend! It was quite the windy day.  Mo made us smile!  Speaking of random photographs, my friend Lisa is posting a photograph every Monday to inspire people to be creative.  

This is my Design Wall Monday post for the week.

I won! I won! I won!

Last week I had entered a giveaway at Candied Fabrics by commenting on a blog post.  Was I ever surprised to get an email saying that I won! How cool  is that?  The package came in the mail today. It has the new issue of International Quilt Festival Quilt Scene, also fabric to make her pattern that is featured in the magazine!  Another bonus is that my good friend Lisa has 2 patterns in this issue!  Check out her blog, she is also having a giveaway for this magazine.

Thank you Candy!
