Lucky Me!


Yesterday in the mail, I finally got the prize I won from Michelle over at L7 for her (almost) 100th posting. She mailed it December 15th, and it arrived January 8th. Mind you it had to go from Arkansas to Alberta, but I believe it arrived via Pony Express! I have a hard time picking my favorite line as they are all so beautiful...and as I said to Michelle, I now have to dream up a project -maybe table toppers....Nothing like a fabric parcel in the mail to brighten one's day!!! Thanks, Michelle!!!
Further to my previous posting, I am really enjoying (mild understatement) my new sewing machine. I now realize how much I was struggling with the old one, as I had to pull the fabric from the back of the machine to get it to stitch properly. Each time I sat down to sew was an exercise in frustration, but I didn't realize it until I got Baby! Now fabric just goes through on its own, and the stitches are even and straight-imagine that! What a treat!

Congratulations! I made a cute little doll quilt with one pack and some polka dot. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun!

That Moda package is so yummy, isn't it? Glad to hear you're enjoying your new machine. So now your productivity will go up, right???

Enjoy. I have a box like that on its way as a gift from my mom for Christmas. Yes I agree it's the pony express. I can't wait to look at the fabric and to see what you are going to make.

Ooohhh, Baby looks lovely! Love your names for your sewing machines! Hey -- did you know that the Pony Express started right here in St. Joseph, Missouri where I live?? So glad you go your fabric from Michelle! Sherri over at A Quilting Life designed a really cute table topper using those squares -- can't wait to see what you make!
