ALERT---A GREAT GIVEAWAY

As many of you may know, I have such admiration for the Amish and their way of life. I am a huge fan of their quilts as well. So I was ecstatic when I found the A JOYFUL CHAOS BLOG.

Go over and visit A JOYFUL CHAOS a wonderful blog by a former Amish Lady. She shares her memories growing up Amish and also some about her present life. She is having a great giveaway.

She is giving away a copy of a book she recently read
She highly recommends it saying it really does tell about how life is among the Amish. Most of the other Amish books she has read do not tell it the way it really is living Amish.

Go over and visit her blog, leave a comment to enter in her giveaway.

I WON ! ! ! I WON ! ! ! I WON ! ! !

Did I tell you??? I WON ! ! !I WON!!! I WON Laurie's giveaway!!! I am too excited!!! She makes these beautiful crazy quilt wall-hangings with photos in them...here's a picture of one she has made...

She asked me what color fabrics I preferred and I told her blue any shade I love!!! I have to find some pictures to email her and send laces, buttons, charms and such I want on it.

This weekend my project will be to go through my collection of laces and mother-of pearl buttons from my heirloom sewing to snail mail to her. This weekend I have to decide what pictures to email her...I'm trying now to decide if the pictures will be . . . ancestors or grandbabies ? ? ?

Be sure to go visit Laurie at BLUE WATERS

WINNER IS-----

The winner of my "What Was It Giveaway" is "Happy Cottage Quilter". She was the first one to guess what "Spray Ice-Cream" that my three year old granddaughter wanted to eat was Reddi- Whip. She was eating strawberries and wanted some spray ice-cream on them.

Since Laura was eating strawberries Happy Cottage Quilter will be receiving three fat quarters of strawberry fabrics. Well, two are of strawberries and one has all sorts of berries on it including strawberries. She also will be receiving a ruler for cutting circles. Happy Quilter I hope to get it in the mail to you either this afternoon or tomorrow.

GIVE AWAT---WHAT IS IT?

Three year old grandbaby girl was over here Sunday. She wanted some "SPRAY ICE-CREAM".
First one to guess what it is I'll send you a little something. Must leave a comment, have a blog where I can notify you if you guess correctly. Not sure just what I'll come up with...have to put on my "thinking cap"...have a couple ideas floating around in my head...think it will be some fabric that has something to do with what it was she was referring to.
