I told you I would keep you posted....

Just in case you missed it at the end of my "November in my rear view window" post....
 

I've been blessed with an angel pinnie.  The post man seems to have absconded with my partners creation...so the powers that be had Carol of Mamacjt fame send me this hunk of loveliness. 

It makes me "Happy, happy, happy!"

November In my review window....

I woke up this morning and the calender said it is December 1.  The first day to open a little door on the advent calender!!

The thermometer says it is 74 degrees outside, headed to 77 with lots of wind and humidity.  No rain, just dampness.  So I am dressed in shorts and a t-shirt listening to Christmas carols.  No matter how long I live in Texas, I don't think I will ever get used to this; but, live here I do, and I'm not planing on moving any time soon. 

Anyone have some warm weather holiday traditions I can borrow?!

November in my rear view window looks like this....

Tops to Treasures, the business did a whomping 8 quilts for customers.

 

Tops to Treasures, the designer, produced three new quilts,  and finished a silly knit wash clothe...pattern found on Ravelry.

( Look for directions for quilt on the bottom left on Moda Bakeshop later this month.)

 

I received two darling little quilts by participating in the Little Quilt - Sew, Vote, Swap on Flickr.

 

 





These are the two that I sent.

 

 

I am still waiting for my Fab Little Pincushion to arrive from my partner.  It must be traveling a very long ways.  However, I received the most wonderful surprise in the mail yesterday.

 



Isn't it wonderful?!    Thank you Carol of Mamacjt  fame.  You are a treasure!  This pinnie is huge!!  I am confident that my new helper will not be able to carry it off.

 

Studly mail!

My day wasn't really that bad. Ya, I did put that block together wonky, but I thought it was kind of funny. I've made a bunch of those blocks and it was bound to happen sooner or later. I shared the picture to let people know that I do that too.

I got my kits ready for the block of the month, Quilty Friends, program for my guild. We meet tomorrow night. I got most of the laundry finished and put away. I even took a few minutes to improve my Quilty Friends blog. It now has an elements page listing directions for the 4" finished blocks that make up the bigger nine patch blocks. Today was very nice just the way it had been going.

It got better!

I received a STUD package from Mamacjt.

This month's theme was "Log Cabin".







My photo isn't the best, but if you look closely you can see that Carol made six tiny log cabin blocks and set them in a big log cabin.....lol log cabin condos! Each tiny block has a little black button in the center. (Carol, do you buy them by the gross? You need to check out Just Another Button Company ). AND she sent extra goodies....






Speckled fat quarters, bright buttons, note cards, and a pattern to make pillow cases.

I am one spoiled swapper.
