I got lost! LOL, busy, busy busy! I've had a string of pet sitting jobs and of course there is my 9 hour a day job and I've got my own house to take care of and other than that, I haven't been up to much. I did manage to get a prize together for Cara over at QuiltNook and it has been recieved so you can see a picture of my newest pincushion. My pictures were too blurry! Also finished some filler blocks for the Piece and Plenty BOM, a couple of Lost Socks done and 8 friendship stars for a group effort. What else... hmmm... not much... hmmm gosh I need to get busy! I've been busy poking buttons for more Prairie Paisley, I think I have a new plan, I'll tell you more once I get started. Anyway, one shop that I poked at, Forever Quilting, gave very speedy service, but had I to laugh. They were selling what they called misc. pieces. I ordered a 1 yard piece of a Buttercream and Figs print @ $4. Not complaining here, but it was interesting to get it, the piece actually looks like it's been washed and ironed! you know how you can tell from the cut edges? I can't help but think I helped yet another person bust their stash! LOL ! Well enough of the unimportant stuff, down to the real reason for this post; If you haven't seen this already, please go help out and maybe win this beautiful quilt! Such a good cause and for the sweetest little girl. OKPeri's Place has instructions on how you can have a chance to help the cause of Cystic Fibrosis and maybe win a beautiful quilt. Check it out! Well tomorrow is Professional Assistant Day or whatever they call it. I'm heading up a banana split day for about 125. I'm going to go prepare about 15 lbs of strawberries for the occasion.

I was pooped after I read about all the things you are doing these days, and then I got to the 15 lbs. of strawberries you have to prepare! Good grief, woman! I bet you slept very well that night!
I did see the pincushion you made for Cara, and it is adorable. Nice work, Mar!
