Fabric washed, tested for colorfastness, and otherwise prepped. I am ready for the cutting.
I am making really good progress on the two knitting projects that are realy stash busters, but jeezopeez, I am talking acres of garter for the one and I am glad to be seeing the bottom of the yarn for the other. I am ready for a bit of a change up. And this will need to be quilted before the weather warms. Seriously. I know myself that well.
So let the games begin!
And now for something completely different...(anyone remember where that's from? I do!)
We have contest winners from three completely random drawings involving index cards, a pen, scissors, and small bowl. See! Completely randomized.
Katarina wins the Pampered Chef recipe books.
Jennifer wins the Steinbach Woole sock yarn
Lizzzknits wins Dena's roving.
Applause applause applause! I really thank everyone who entered and I wish I had gifts and prizes for you all. I hate simply HATE having to pick only a few to win.

Mellow Yellow, just inside the door.
What beautiful embroidery and what a loving gesture! (I still have, and treasure, work that was made for me by my grandparents.)
Happy weekend!
Yay, I win! You can contact me a hoskinsliz@aol.com directly. A face to face meetup would be great, but my schedule is so fluctuating that it would be hard to plan. I am currently working on Saturdays, but usually have Sunday. Keep good thoughts for me as there may be a very bright light at the end of this very dark tunnel I have been in. Don't want to jinx it by saying any more.
nice, subtle monty python reference in the middle of a crafty, creative post. very nice.
Oh my! Your sister does exquisite embroidery work. How very wonderful!!! Where does she find the patterns I wonder? What cute creatures. Makes my fingers itch to go back to doing embroidery or crewel work. My work looks nowhere near as neat and precise as hers.
Love the color scheme too of the quilt. Can't wait to see the end results!
And now for something completely different... Monty Python? :)
The embroidered blocks are beautiful. They're really inspiring and make me want to master embroidery as well.
Monty Python is great :-) My boyfriend got me the dvd-box for my birthday last November. Unfortunatly he doesn't get the appeal.
Oooh, I loved seeing the fabrics all together! Can't wait to see a block or two!
Congratulations you three!
I love the embroidery! Those little mice are cute!
Okay,not mice, but little badgers and minks. Still cute, even IF they aren't mice!
Your sister's embroidery is just as cute as can be. I'm anxious to see everything put together.
Apparently, crafty creative genes run in the family. Dearest Sister's squares are so adorable. And they go well with the fabric you've chosen. I can't wait to see the quilt.
I can't wait to see that quilt when it's done!
