3 things

1. I made this little dresden pincushion last week. Isn't it fun? It measures 4.5" square. It was a great reason to play with scraps, which I seem to never tire of doing. :) It was also so nice to start and finish a project in one day.

2. Margaret's Hope Chest is celebrating 4 years of sharing quilts with those in need. They recently gave away their 1000th quilt! How exciting is that!? To celebrate this huge event, they are hosting a giveaway on their blog with some great prizes, including this set of fat quarters. Check out all the details here. They are also looking for quilt top donations, which would be a great way to whittle down your work in progress pile, if you are so inclined.

3. THANK YOU to all of you who bid on the FMF fabric on ebay. The auctions were a huge success and I appreciate all the sales. I will be able to make a significant donation to Convoy of Hope because of you. Thank you so very much!

Happy Monday to you!

    I love your pincushion, I have a huge fascination with dresden plates lately. Would you mind sharing how big you made your dresdens?

    Thanks :)

    You are so generous on so many levels. I love your little pincushion. Sometimes I think your one day projects are more than I can keep up. (not that it's a contest) :-)
