Lucky

I'm pretty lucky.  I'm always getting free ARCs (Advance Reading Copies of books that haven't been published) from publishers, and I frequently win free fabric from other bloggers or straight from a fabric manufacturer.  Free is good, especially as much as I read and quilt.

Today, I won a quilt!  One of the male quilters, Charlie Scott of Qubee Quilts, did a wonderful post in January and asked for donations for his local AIDS walk.  It turned out that everyone donating thru his blog, was entered to win a quilt make by him.  And I won!  Just for doing the right thing!  Yippee!

Here is the pattern, called Gum Wrapper.

This is the only photo I could find about the actual quilt.

~update~ I found a different photo, in fact there's lots of them here.

I will, of course, post my own photo(s), when the actual quilt arrives.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing my life with me,

Lucky, lucky me

I only know two quilters, IRL, and one of them, Melissa, a fellow bookseller at B&N, gave me over 60 of her quilting magazines. Talk about a bonanza. She's an accomplished quilter; while I just stumble along. I am so grateful. Thank you Michelle. (The background in the photo is one of the tablecloths I made for my dining room table.)

Last year, I won a give away from Jenny of Stickyfeathers fame. Because of complications,( go read her blog if you want details, she's fabulous), the book came this week. After I'm done going thru it, I'm sending it on to my favorite oldest daughter, Carrie; because she loves the Pioneer Woman. Thank you Jenny.
