Blah Blah Blah and Free Fabric with a side of Quilt!
How's that for a title? LOL. First things first, I have to say how honored and thrilled I was to win the Sew Mama Sew Contest for the "Other" category. I haven't got a chance to say how giddy this made me!! I was jumping up and down and calling folks. I have to show off my prizes:
I bought the gnomes myself because I couldn't resist. The girls had outfits from this last year. Let me see if I can find a pic...
and
(She was having a bad day)
I got the chrysanthemum from Sewzanne's from a GC I got for Queen of the Month.
And I know you people are like "Stop buying fabric and make something!" :) I have been working on quilt:
From the Chinese Coins pattern here. And a close up:
Made from scraps and white cotton.
Sorry to be so short, look for a more chatty post tomorrow.
BEAUTIFUL, beautiful quilt! I love the quilting that you are doing, it looks amazing with that pattern. Coin quilts are so fun aren't they =)

Yummy, yummy fabrics!!!! Did you make those adorable outfits your girls are wearing?? They are just TOO cute!!! And that quilt is just scrumptious - makes me tempted but I may just stick to my scrappy cabin quilt for now to avoid too many UFOs!!!
