Oh, to Dream of It



Was just over on Helen Stubbings' blog Hugs From Helen and she is having the most amazing giveaway!  Ta Da .... a pattern of her newest quilt Home Sweet Home which is a 10 month BOM.

At first glance it looks like cheeky clamshells, but look closer .... they contain Helen's beautiful stitcheries and lovely sayings AND you can gluestick applique them.  How good is that?

Here's the little beauty

You only need to hop over to her blog, leave a comment and you are in with a chance.  Sigh, I know that diminishes my chances but ...  I can't deny a stitchin' sister a chance so I just had to tell you.

Moving right along

Well, the broken elbow is now as good as new so I'm sewing again.  Although I did have another little break - one of my toes!  At least that didn't stop me sewing.

I'm almost finished appliqueing the front of a machine cover - one of two identical ones I'm making for my DD and myself.  I'm hoping to finish them so I can post them in 'Sew Its Finished'.  I must have started them about 2-3 years ago so it will be good to get them out of the UFO pile.

I've also got to get a move on and get my challenge finished for the SCQ retreat I'm going to at the end of this month.  Better get back to work.

Piecefully,  Jan
