Heart cookie cutter!

I had been out antiquing today and when I got home of course I had to check my email and what a nice surprise I had,Alma from http://blackbird-designs.blogspot.com/ had emailed me that I had won this beautiful heart cookie cutter I'd forgotten that I had even left a comment for it...didn't get any great antiques but, now I have this to look forward to using, thanks again Alma I love it!

Done Done Done!

Well finally I have the baby quilt done that I've been working on for my niece took awhile longer because I had to have my machine worked on but, it's done now. I just stitched in the ditch to quilt it but, before long I hope to be quilting on a longarm. For the binding I cut 10" strips of each of the fabric's I used in the quilt and pieced them together. I took a class yesterday at a local quilt shop to learn how to use the longarm so I can actually say I quilted any future quilt's I make. It was fun and I was very nervous but I think it will get easier with time and lot's & lot's of practice for now though this will do. I'm excited to give it to her I know she will love it who doesn't love something handmade with love.

♥ Prayers for New Zealand ♥

Devastation




So many faces from other nations

coming to offer their help.

Mothers, sisters, aunts,

fathers, brothers, uncles,

cousins, nieces, nephews,

children are all gone.



Little things are reasons to be grateful:

comfort, a smile, hugs, tears.

The devastation makes us hurt,

it is not for us to question why.

We know You have made a way

for the hunger and the pain

to ease through others

giving their money, time, prayers—

Your will be done!

My prayers go out to all my blogging friends & to all of Christchurch New Zealand God be with each of you on this tragic day!
