Giveaway Announced

Before I announce the winner for the 'In Your Words Blog Hop', I wanted to share an email I recently received and some pictures. I love getting pictures of finished Quilt Doodle projects because I think it's so much fun to see them done in various fabrics....

"Dear Cindy:
I made place mats for Christmas instead of the mug mat.  Thank you for your creative patterns.  I have also attached two pictures of where we buy the fabrics - a narrow alleyway with tiny tables and cloth hung everywhere.  It is called "The Beach".  The fabric comes in 6 yard pieces.  They do not cut what you need, you buy the whole piece.  It is heavy cotton cloth, which has been "waxed" to give it a high shine.  I don't think anywhere else in the world uses this fabric except here in Africa, specifically the Congo.  My husband and I are here on a 2 year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  In the evenings, I have time for a little sewing.  This project has been fun to do.
Thanks again, and Happy New Year!
Sister JoAnn Billings"

  3. I'm visiting from the Grow Your Blog Hop at 2BagsFull. I'm your newest follower. My name is Patrice and I have the blog www.everydayruralty.com . I hope that you will drop by and visit my blog. Following would be great too. :) I am not a quilter- yet. I've been a major quilting wannabe for a few years. I have sewn since birth- I think! I used to chef in a historic estate where the lady of the house was an avid quilter. She gave me piles of magazines and trash bags full of fabric. So I must open those bags again and get started. I believe it would be less intimidating if I took a class or something. I look forward to more visits to your blog. :)
