Happy Birthday to Me Giveaway!!

This was Diane's Birthday Cake from Twiggs Bakery

I am now "officially" old!!  Ha! Ha! I got my Medicare card and today I turn 65 years old!!  But wait, in my head I still feel about 23!!  My cute, chubby body says "No way, darling!!

So, I thought this was a perfect day to give away some birthday presents and I love lots of presents!!

Its time for a new little mini table runner for the dining room table so I thought 

these 2 Mini Charm Packs would be perfect!!

And you have to have great, super sharp pins, so these Clover Fine pins should do the trick!!

I have always wanted to learn to hand quilt and when Janet O. over at The Rogue Quilter and I find some time, she is going to teach me hand quilting!!

Now, this pattern is perfect for my Kaffe Fassett fabrics.

And of course, using the BEST thread on the planet is a must and I love green, so this large spool of pale neutral green Aurifil thread should do the trick!!

So, if you would like to share in my birthday celebration, let me know which present you would like and why you think turning 65 must be the most wonderful day in the world. 

NOW, if you DON'T tell me why you think turning 65 is the the most wonderful day in the world, you will be disqualified from the Giveaway.  Hey, what do I think this is - my birthday??

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!

I will choose winners Tuesday night ~ that will give you some time to think about which gift you would like to receive!! 

Merry Christmas . . .

Saturday's Smile!!

That's What Friends are For!!

I Have Been Working On These Blocks For Weeks!!

I have always loved the Buggy Barn Quilts and I have purchased several of their books hoping someday to make one.

When Sue, my long arm quilter friend, offered to trade the piecing of her Buggy Barn quilt top for several quilts on her longarm, I was thrilled!!

So she brought it over and . . . 

I have been working on these STOOPID blocks for weeks and weeks ~

Now don't get me wrong, I still LOVE Buggy Barn quilts but I don't like making them.  I think the reason why is because I am a paper-piecing kinda girl - I love the precision, the exactness and clean look of each block.  Not so with these blocks.  It seems that even though I make each block exactly the same as every other block, they all turn out differently and so wonky!!

Now, if I want wonky, which I love, I want planned wonky!!  Ya know, paper-pieced wonky.  Plus, I have to square up EVERY SINGLE one of these blocks on purpose!!  Yiks!!  When I make blocks, even traditionally pieced blocks, I make them precisely so I DON'T have to square them up, they are already square.

There are 80 of these blocks and then they get pieced together to make 20 completed blocks and each of these blocks need to be squared up - ON PURPOSE ~

Then I will add sashing with corner medallions and borders~

and this is how it will look.  I am down to the last 10 hours so I am getting excited but they are still STOOPID blocks!!  LOL!!

And then Sue told me yesterday that this is probably the most difficult Buggy Barn quilt.  Well, that is why she wanted me to piece this one for her!!  Telling me that that made me feel much better though - if I can conquer this one, I can conquer ANY Buggy Barn quilt.  Maybe I will try another one - some day!!  :-))
