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
