the winners are...

I am so amazed at the number of comments that were left on that last post! Thank you all so much for your beautiful words! I couldn't bare the thought that I only had 3 bundles for 600 comments so I have decided to do 6 bundles instead.

 

This seems like better odds to me. My trusty RNG has helped me by choosing 6 people as I want to give you all some and would be struggling to choose just 6 people. The winners are..... ERIN, KELLY, JODIE, GERT, INA (July 24, 10:15 am) and SOLVI ALFNES. Congratulations to you all! Please email me your postal addresses and I will send the bundles next week. (this is because I now need to cut 3 more bundles! Any quilt store owners out there, I feel your pain. It takes soooo long to cut these bundles from the bolts and it is quite tedious!)

Thank you all for your participation and I may even show you a little of the book's progress in my next post. Thanks for understanding that I am in "lockdown" at the moment! I don't answer the phone, eat regular meals, visit the bathroom or sleep at the moment!!!! It will be worth the wait, I am sure.

Fabric give away!

Look what came this morning!

 

Look what was inside!!!

Ever wondered what 35 bolts of fabric look like on a dining room table?

 

Well, seeing all that fabric made me realise I can spare a little! I have decided to do a fabric give away! I am off to create 3 fat quarter bundles of 10 fabrics each to go to three lucky readers. You know what to do. Just leave a comment on this blog before Wednesday and you will be in the draw for one of these fat quarter bundles of my first-ever fabric range, "Grandmother's Flower Garden" from LECIEN. In fact, if you win the draw, you will get this fabric several months before it is available in stores! Won't that be fun!!!!

on turning thirty-ten........

Yes, that's right, tomorrow is the big 40! This one is a little difficult to acknowledge! I like the sound of thirty-ten better! 

Truthfully, It is not as bad as I thought it would be. I am grateful to be on this beautiful earth with my friends and family. As most of you know, A diagnosis of breast cancer three years ago made the reality of turning 40, not a sure thing. I received the three year "all clear" this week and that is the best 40th gift I can think of.

I still have two years of monthly treatment and daily tablets and then I will be considered cured of the disease. The surgeon told me that I now have a 95% chance of full recovery. I am thankful to God for this second chance at this wonderful life. 

Of course, working on the binding of my first quilt made entirely out of my fabrics is also a pretty wonderful 40th gift! I know I am a tease, not adding any photos today but I promise there will be some in the near future!

enjoy your creation!

The wait is over!

My Fabric arrived today!!!

 

I have 70m of it to play with! (well, I did have, before a certain younger sister stole some!) Now it is "full steam ahead" toward the completion of my second book.

  

I must say that outside of childbirth and wedding(s), this has been the most exciting day of my life!

Enjoy your creation!
