I've had a busy couple of days but an excellent couple of days. First off, I finished hubby's quilt on Thursday night. I was able to get outside tonight and take some pictures on this gorgeous day.
Monty likes to be near me...especially when I leave for any amount of time.
Well it was my first Sew In today with the Maritime Modern Quilt Guild (MMQG). After chatting back and forth with a bunch of the ladies online, it was great to meet some of them today. I had a great time at the Sew In. I stitch picked my Sewing Organizer and then stitched it properly. I really like how it turned out.
The most exciting news of all is that I won a $50 Gift Card to Mad About Patchwork! I am the winner for the month of June for The Library Project hosted by Adrienne at Chezzetcook Modern Quilts. And I got to meet her today since she's the president of the MMQG! I am just over the moon at how great of day today has been. I didn't have a chance to check Adrienne's blog this morning so I had no idea I won until I went to the Sew In. I am just so excited. I am already drooling over all the fabric at Mad About Patchwork. Check them out and it's a Canadian company ;)
It was one of the greatest starts to a weekend! I just had such a great time at the Sew In. Hoping that I can go to the next one on July 12th. Keeping my fingers crossed :)
Happy Quilting weekend!

Quilting is a new born again hobby of mine. I started a quilt over 7 years ago and then became too busy to finish it. I was reintroduced back into quilting and jumped in with both feet. My grandmother was the first quilter in my life and I still have quilts she made. I love how fabrics can just come together and create something new. This blog shows this side of my life. I answer every comment by email and/or by reply on here. Hope you enjoy my blog. Happy Quilting :)
I was so sad to miss out on the Sew-In as I would have loved to meet you! So glad you had a great time. Did you bring your hubby's quilt to show? Congrats on winning the gift certificate. You will put that to good use! Hopefully, see you next time.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you at the next Sew In. Did you see our MMQG banner? It's so beautiful :) And I heard a little birdie say that the quilting on it will be magnificent :)
