This week has been a bit - well - INSANE. Full moon week and everybody was howling and moaning at work. But then there is quilting - the sanity check. Except for this week. I was working on a UFO from a class in 2009 and one project just started but I just HAD to use up that fabric. Both projects required more fabric than I had. I had good quilty buddies come through with one piece. I just found out about the second piece I need tonight. I have to do better with EQ7! I didn't look at the fabric requirement for the borders or I would have changed the size of the blocks. Anyway, a quick Google search finds only ONE shop with the second fabric needed! Really!?! Not even EBay!! So, I have fabric coming from the UK to finish the final border on the bottom of the quilt. You know that will make the label on the quilt!
And then the big news: I WON A PRIZE ON PAT SLOAN'S BLOG!! I love her blog and read it daily. I've only entered a couple of contests to win a prize. I'm one of those that never wins so I only enter if I really, really like the prize. And I do and I WON!! WOOHOO!!! I won a jelly roll of Aster Manor. It is absolutely beautiful. Or - I should say - I think that's what I won. When I get my prize, I will take a picture and put it on this blog.
Final closing comments, be kind to yourself! We are so hard on ourselves and we need to let up on us. If we are as kind to ourselves as we are to our friends, imagine how much easier life would be! God bless you all!
How fun that you actually won something on Pat's blog. You'll have to bring it for show and tell. Keep stitchin!
