Winner of Applique Thursday Book

This is the crazy week for me which repeats every second week of the month.  No progress on my applique - had too many deadlines for the church group and the guild. I hate it when that happens. And with the time change my biological clock is so mixed up.  It wants me to go to bed at 9 PM.  So much to do - spent all morning with the Sewdality group - to which my mom came.  Then home for a quick lunch and on the the retina specialist for Mom.  What was suppose to be a 30 minute appointment turned into a 3 hours appointment.  There went the day. I hope you had some quilty moments today.

I had lots of eye candy last week.  Visited a lot of new blogs from the comments.  Thank you all!  This week's winner of the book giveaway is Bzystitches from Russel, KS.  Congratulations!  I'll be sending out your book as soon as I hear from you.

Okay, off to start getting ready for my next company - Have a great remainder of the week y'all!

And here's another reason life has  been blah:


Much brighter than it really was - the first of our dismal days of no sun, just gray.

But here comes the cosmos!  Look at all those buds. These are sulfur cosmos.

WIP Wednesday

or what I'm working on.  Actually, my part is done - I just make the charity flimsies and pass them on to other St. Anne's members to work on.  That way at least 3 or 4 of us work on each quilt and pray over them.  But I might get this one back to bind, so I'm calling it my WIP.  And if you'd like to know why I'm working with Halloween fabrics after the date, see my previous post.

Did you have some quilty time this week?  Would love to see it.  I'm linking to Esther's WOW.  Go see what they are doing over there.

Design Wall Monday 11/5/12

Here's what's on my design wall: 
Yep, it's a Halloween charity quilt.  And why am I making this now - LOL.  Well here is St. Anne's members reasoning:  Our quilts are given to low income first time mothers when they come in for their first post-partum visit.  One may have had her baby near Halloween and is gaga about Halloween as a lot of people are. So she may love to have this one for her baby.  I'll actually get to count some of this fabric toward my stash report next Sunday as the sashing and binding will come from my stash - all the rest is scraps from St. Anne's.

What's on your design wall?  Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times and see what others have up on their walls. That's always fun. 

Oh and don't forget to visit my Nov 1st post for the book giveaway!  Ends Wednesday night.  Lot of people seem to want this book.  It could be yours.
