2 winners...and a great book to read

A week ago I posted my first recipe on Moda Bake Shop.

yes...I'm officially a Moda chef....

The message board winner 

from the Moda Bake Shop comments is Marlene.....Stitchin'ByTheLake

and from the comments at Quiltnqueen is Sandra...she doesn't have a blog.

I've sent them emails, waiting for their addresses.

I was thrilled to do a book review for Mdm Samm at Sew We Quilt

Bringing in Finn by Sara Connell is an incredible book.

There are tears of sadness....tears of joy.

Hop on over to Sew We Quilt and read the review....

be sure to add it to your list of books to read in 2013.

Leave a comment...be a follower....someone will win a copy of this book.

I've had a little last minute sewing

 crayon bag

and 

I've been sewing pj's for the Grandgirls dolls...no pictures, sorry

I have to finish them tonight before I call it a night.

Do you every feel you are like the hamster running on it's wheel
and getting nowhere.  That would be me!!

That is how I've been feeling the whole month of December.

I would have sworn
I had another weekend before I head to Canada for the holidays.
Where has this month gone???

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A huge thank you to everyone who left me sweet comments

on my Holiday Lane posting.

Sorry I'm so late announcing the winner...

Carol was the lucky one.
She won the $25.00 gift certificate from Crazyquiltgirl Fabric Shop.
Carol was quick to go shopping and her package has been mailed.

Last week I hosted the Christmas get together

 for the Wednesday night quilting group.

It was a small group, we had lots of good food 

and a white elephant gift exchange.

I love my gift....thank you Ann...Ü

It was a fun time.

Sorry no other pictures...

I don't think Mama Spark took any pictures either, 

and that is so unlike her.
