Second, and this may come as a nuisance, I've learned how to create collages with my pictures!! I will probably over use this knowledge, but please allow me to play!
And on we go . . .
Right before I left for my annual sis/mom-in-law retreat in sunny/warm St. George, I was surprised to see a package in my mail box.
I opened it up, and to my utter astonishment found a wristlet made from the feminine fat quarter I had sent to Sherri!! Isn't it a riot? Well, I knew just what I would use it for - my Bingo bag for the weekend!!
My dauber, iPod, gum and some chapstick fit perfectly and I sported it as I toured the casino. Boy did I look smart and sassy!
Now I use it to carry everything for my embroidery project I'm working on.
Sherri assured me she had enough fabric to make one for herself as well, THANKS SHERRI!
Here is some fabric I picked up while on my girl's trip. We went to five (?) quilt shops!!
There are a few pieces that I had purchased from Jane's shop, and I threw them in the collage as well.
What am I going to do with all this cotton? I'm going to GIVE some away during my MAKEOVER EVENT! Stay tuned for that! January 26th - 29th
My dear friend Cheryl (no blog) made me this awesome melon basket for Christmas. Notice the three dimensional braid on top of the handle? Wowsers! It was full of fun stuff, a book, gift card to a quilt shop, gift card to Barnes and Noble and homemade jams.
Cheryl is a very good and generous friend and I love her so much!
I hope you've had a chance to enter my giveaway for One World, One Heart giveaway and will come back during the MAKEOVER EVENT January 26 - 29!
