Thumbs Up!

Forgot to pick a winner yesterday! Oops. Just went to bed without checking. So.........using my handy generator that I never thought would pick Number 1 AND it's also been picking numbers only above like 15.......or so I thought.




It's Rose #1 and Carrie P. #25 who will be getting some notecards. Thanks everyone for humoring me. You made me smile over the ones you liked. I think I'm with most of you. I'm crazy about the ones from our last retreat, particularly the wool pin cushions. I think I'm just going to order me a set of ALL wool pincushion notecards.

I've been working on these ridiculous THIRTY baskets
(the baskets AREN'T ridiculous, the making of THIRTY is)

that my husband talked me into making for his teachers at school. It's taking F-O-R-E-V-E-R. So many steps. Streamlined or not....it's still a lot of time and I'm running out of it. What am I doing blogging?

Loved the Hot Pad Mama Tutorial, so I whipped up 4 more for my Freezer Club gals for Christmas. I just used leftover blocks from my dad's quilt (that I'm sure Corrie is going to show you ANYDAY now, when she gets it bound, right?)

I love these. They are so fun and easy.

If you're not making 30.

  4. Congratulations to the winners! Those will be cheerful cards to send. :D 30 of anything to sew, production line or not gets tedious. Hang in there! Love the hot pads and I can't wait to see the quilt that they are leftovers from.
