An Early Birthday for Me!

I belong to a group of online crafters and we have a little birthday club. My birthday isn’t for another week, but the organizer sent my birthday money early and I was able to use it to get this wonderful gift for myself.

Isn’t she great? I just love looking at her, though I must admit she has startled me a few times! The dogs don’t bark at her anymore though. Hubby named her Constance.

I received another swab block in the mail. I just love how all of the blocks have been so different from each other. That is what I’d hoped would happen.

And I created two more blocks for swap partners, too.

Pretty beachy colors in this one. Makes me yearn for vacation!

This block is for a swapper who hopes to make a quilt for her father from her swap squares. I sure hope everyone hurries and sends their blocks her way.

I also painted my front doors (I have two). I have put on two coats and will have to do at least one more. I’m using dark green paint over a light teal color. The green may not stick to the door well, but it sure has stained my fingernails!

This morning I took a break before beginning my house cleaning and went to Joann fabrics for a big sale. I didn’t get much quilt fabric, but I did get a lot of fabric for clothes and some patterns. Maybe the next time you see Constance, she’ll be dressed!!
