Winner of Holiday Giveaway

The winner of the Ruby charm packs is Connie from Quilting By the River. Thank you for the fabulous movie suggestions. I have a wonderful list for my recovery period. Thank you also for the kind words and prayers for my surgery. I have finally completed most of the items on my " To Do List." Christmas gifts are purchased and wrapped. Rusty had a bath, "pedicure" and flea treatment. My walker and other "aids" are out of the basement and in place. Can you tell that I'm so ready to get this surgery adventure DONE? Not sure if I'll be able to blog with the pain medications, but I will be reading blogs and keeping up with everyone. Take care, dear friends!

Holiday Giveaway!!!!!!!

If you've read my blog for any amount of time, you know that I love blog giveaways. I love entering them and hosting them. In the evening while DH channel surfs, I read blogs. I've been blessed to win a number of giveaways (thank you, friends)  Just this week, I received an email from April at KoolBeenz . April does lots of neat things on her blog especially a weekly giveaway. 

I was fortunate to win a gift certificate from SkyeReve fabrics. Natasha has lots of cute fabric; but once I saw that she had Ruby by Bonnie & Camille for Moda, my decision was made.

But wait!  I've been wanting to do another giveaway and what better thing to giveaway than something I'd love to have myself. Natasha has agree to this change in the giveaway. She has set not 1, but 2 of the Ruby charm packs aside for us. The giveaway will end on Monday, Dec. 12th at 5:00 EST.  To enter the giveaway for the 2  Charm Packs of RUBY fabric, leave a comment telling me the name of a movie that you enjoyed. Next Wednesday, I'm having hip replacement surgery. I plan to watch lots of movies during my recovery period and need some suggestions.  Thanks for entering "OUR" giveaway! Thanks especially to April and Natasha for their generosity in their giveaway!

A Day in Death Valley

In early November, one of  our trips to visit Dad allowed us to attend an LSU game in Tiger Stadium, better known as Death Valley. Since it had been years since we attended a game, it was indeed a memorable day for DH and me.

 There were a variety of ways to tail-gate.

There were a variety of ways to show Tiger spirit.

 A variety people to meet including Bobby Hebert, now a radio announcer but once a quarterback for the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons. His son T-Bob Hebert plays on the offensive line for LSU.

Stash Sale

Have you ever "overdone" it when shopping for fabric? Please tell me that I'm not alone in this obsession. While shopping at Sample Spree, I purchased too many fat quarter bundles. I'm feeling "quilty" guilty especially since a couple of other fabric lines are SCREAMING my name. This is the newest line by Kate Spain (I love her designs) called Good Fortune. The pre-cuts are due in quilt stores in January. Here is a link to the line on the Moda/United Notions website.  There are 36 fat quarters in the bundle. It is still sealed. It has never been opened.  I would like $80.00 for the bundle. This will include free shipping. I think I've figured out how to accept payment through Paypal.  Please email me if you are interested. Many thanks!


The FQ Bundle has been sold. Thanks!
