Tuesday's treasure

I love knowing there is special mail coming for me and I had that feeling of anticipation that today may be the day; it made checking the letter box a pleasure instead of a chore. And in it I found my Tuesday Treasure, which I treasure more for the generosity of blogging friends than for the thrill of receiving exciting mail.  Today I received the gorgeous teapot wall hanging from Sheila as part of her blog hop give-away.  It is very beautiful and just my colours!  Sheila very generously also included a pattern, I think she knows I love pumpkins.  Thanks so much Sheila, I love my gift.  In the weekend I received the lovely Sweetwater quilt labels from Donna, and look at the cute photo she included of herself and her gorgeous corgi Tag.  Thank you Donna, I will enjoy using the labels.  I am linking today with Melody for Tuesday's Treasures.
What have I been working on?  I don't seem to have had as much time for sewing lately but I have finished the Winterwoods ABC's and it is now at the framers.  I love the little house, just like our little home with smoke coming from the chimney.  I also completed another block for Charlie's quilt, two more of these blocks to go and then I can sew the middle of the quilt together.  It's raining tonight after weeks of sunny days, a perfect night to be by the fire.  Wendy xx
