A couple of wins, some sewing and building walls

Victoria, whose blog is The Silly BooDilly, had a giveaway of Malka Dubrawsky’s new book, Fresh Quilting . I was the lucky winner! It is a beautifully written book with wonderful photos of all the projects. You can see more of Malka’s work at her blog, A Stitch in Dye.  Thanks Malka and Victoria!

 

I also won this beautiful bunch of fabric from ‘Lois’ over at Lois Creates which will be going to Sarah for her quilt ministry. Tell them both I say ‘hi’ if you visit their blogs, which I highly recommend!  Thanks to ‘Lois’ for the fabric and Sarah for the work she does!

I’ve been playing with the new version of Windows Live Writer which I use to write all my blog posts.  The above photo is an example of the Polaroid plug-in that allows you to use a caption and tilt the photo. Mr. Dotty was pretty impressed with the tilting deal, since it apparently takes something special to get that to happen. There are also Emoticons and tables and lots of things I have no clue about.

This	is	a	table!

I’ll keep plugging away at it and eventually figure it out.

In January, this pile of fabric will become three quilts for my niece’s kids. We’re both excited to see how they turn out!

I sold a few mixer covers from my Etsy shop, three of which were custom sizes. Luckily, they all fit and the new owners are happy! This is one of the color combinations.

We are working on our kitchen/laundry room remodel, but it’s going very slowly. There are so many things to consider when you change things around in an existing structure. Where is the plumbing and the wiring? Can we move that light fixture or light switch? Is this going to fit there? So, in four days, after going through all the possibilities, we have one wall up. Building new is so much easier!

That’s what’s going on here. I hope you’re enjoying the season!
