Another completed top

I have now completed the top of my quilt that I have made from Moda..Decadent Victorian....I just love charm packs...the variety that you get in each pack...its like you get to work with the whole range except its all in little pieces.....I have used the purple spot as a pepper and the border is a very bold floral....so if you have a passion for purple you need to buy some of this range....Peg ... :>) ...

Pay It Forward...

I've joined the "Pay it Forward" challenge over at Christine's blog. I have been following Christine's blog for a few months now, and no doubt about it this lady is so talented...and I could not pass up the offer to receive something hand made by her.....

The rules are that the first three people to join the challenge on my blog will receive a gift handmade by me. I will have 365 days to make and send your gift - hopefully it won't take me that long...... You must then do a post on your blog inviting 3 more people to join in and receive a handmade gift from you.


Hope that makes sense!

Sounds like it will be so much fun, so please leave a comment soon if you want to take part in the "Pay It Forward" challenge..... would love to have you play the game...........

Another one bites the dust....

I finished this on the weekend....this is a half square log cabin, Club Quilt did this as a mystery day last year.......it is a very nice block, and all of us who did this really enjoyed the finished product...I am going to keep this one I think.....
Yesterday I picked up my son off the plane, this is number two son, (eldest of the twins by a whole 1 1/2 minutes)...last night was the first time in over two and a half years all my boys have been home at the same time....I felt soooooo good, this is what you call being blessed....all my men that is the four of them are heading off fishing tomorrow for a couple of days and I truly cannot remember the last time they did that....Peg ... :>)....
