I'm a winner

Well on Tues I found out that I'm a winner for the first time. I put my name in Geta give away and never thought i would win. So on Tues I get an email to say I was a winner. If I ever wanted to win something this is want I really wanted to win. Have you ever seen her work. Well she does Shadow Trapunto patterns. I have been following her blog because she has the most beautiful quilts and I have been wondering how did she do them. Well she now has a ebook out that you can buy a pattern that she has made. I have been thinking I will buy one but I had to finish some products before I can ever think of looking at something else to start. But now I have the pattern but I still have to wait to finish what in my bucket list. So if you would love to see some different kind of quilting go to Geta web site http://cadouri-din-inima.blogspot.com/ and enjoy. She also makes some lovely bowls. Have fun at her site.
Thank you Gera for the lovely gift and as soon as I can make one I will post it so you can all see.
Have a great day.

First quilt


I was asked to post some photos of my quilts. So now I can download photos so I going to start. Oct. 2008 I took my first quilting class and this is my first quilt that I made. I think it took 2 classes to finish it. She called it the 9 square block but now from the blog I hear its called the disappearing 9 block. Its small the size is 28 by 34. The quilting was stitching in the ditch. Also for my first one my back fabric is plain black I was afraid to do anything but plain. That has now change. Seeing its my first one I was so pleased. I don't have that many so I will do one at the time

Another swap


OK I have said no more swaps and here is a new siggy swap so I was lucky to join. Then this will be the last one for awhile. Sure Sherry I said that maybe 2 weeks ago and look at me. But its so much fun I love doing them. Would you like to loin.

Thanks Danielle

Trying to get the photos up I forgot to thanks Danielle for the lovely material she sent me I can't wait to see what I can do with them. But I have my other items to do first. But maybe I can squeeze it in soon. LOL

Water Couler swap.





Yea I think I can do this now. This is what Danielle made for me I now think I can start putting on the photos of my quilts. I wish I had a kid so they can help me with how to use a computer. Well I would like to say thanks again to Danielle for the lovely job she did.

By the way this is the very first swap that I have received besides siggys.
