Pickles Garden

Mrs. Pickles Garden is running a Blog hop starting Monday (the 31st). She has rounded up several talented quilters to share their secrets with you.

Mysterious Presents

So I opened the door today and out side was a package. No label, no stickers, no name. Kind of odd, there are 3 people living in my house.... ok. Inside is this....

Ok... Not someplace I usually eat at. Love the top, bottom is meh. Needs to go. 1/2hr later, a little bit of work and presto!

A beautiful 2013 Chinese Calendar.

Managed to finish a few Christmas presents in between classes.

Mostly make ornaments, their my specialty. Larger projects require more time then I usually have.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I Won!

So right before school starts for the fall semester I won a few prizes. @ Leona's Quilting Adventure I won an awesome book on making fabric flowers.

Thank you so much Leona!

Right before that I won at Suz-A-Palooza!!!
SuzGuz Designs runs an awesome event and I won this awesome layer cake by Kathy Schmitz for Moda.

Thank you Susan!

Also I won the new Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks magazine at the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour from Cirlique Creations.

 

She also sent along a lovely block pattern she created =)

Thank you so much Jennifer!

On the U R Priceless! Coin Purse Blog Hop I won a 4 FQ pack of random fabrics from The Desert Rat Chronicles. Thank you Sheryl!

Thank you to everyone for the prizes. I learn so much on the blog hops and I love seeing what everyone makes. Maybe I will have time over Christmas break to participate in one.
