Woo Hoo.! I won. If you are on Facebook and are friends with Aurifill Threads you might remember that they had a contest for naming some variegated threads. Two of the names I thought up were chosen. Alas the first I named Salsa Verde came in second. But the second name I chose "Creme Brule" came in first. I got a message from the company today, congratulating me and asking for my address. I have won all 34 variegated threads. I'm sooooo excited.
Remember this little beauty. Well it went in the mail today to the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative. And quite by chance I got an email from Ami Simms this morning asking if I would post something to my blog. It is a video from Utube about AAQI. It is so moving.

Please visit both and if you can make a little Art Quilt for a good cause.
Last week while reading some of my favorite blocks I came across a photo similar to this on a post at Talin's Corner. She had a lovely idea of sending something she made to 3 people who in turn would send something they made to 3 people and so on and so on and so on. I left a message about what a wonderful idea it was. She contacted me and asked for my address.
It is the sweetest little pouch used for jewelry. I just adore it. She made my day. So this weekend I am going to be making 3 little gifts for 3 of my blog readers. So leave a message and will pick 3 names on Monday. The receivers will then in turn make 3 little gifts and so on and so on and so on. What do you think?
Last Friday was FNSI and I spent a good part of Saturday checking out what people had been working on. I saw a block that I really liked (sorry I don't remember who was working on it) and I thought it was really neat.
It is made using 5" charm squares. I have a ton of them so I am hoping to make a couple of quilts using this block.
And guess what....The Sun is finally shining. It is beautiful out. So I wish you all a Sunny Quilty day.
Hugs, Cat
