Just gotta tell someone
Ok so I am normally a pretty humble and down to earth Red Queen but today was a day that just has to be bragged about a bit and shared with everyone- some will care and others will just wonder if I was shaking hands this week with a chimney sweep or kissing cane toads or something but.......
I have spent the last two weeks getting things prepared for a quilt show that our guild was participating in. I made 3 sock monkeys to sell at the show. They all sold and I have an order for another.
I had to help finish up the quilt that our guild is raffling off. My friend Lynn had started doing the machine quilting on the quilt top when her machine had a hissy fit and next thing I knew she was using Maxine and then she turned the quilting over to me and I worked on quilting 15 of the blocks and doing the binding. This is our quilt- want a chance at winning? $1 buys a chance of my quilting on your bed.
I entered some of my work in the show and my Crack Head Moose quilt was awarded a peoples choice award for the favorite quilt in our guild booth. I was so excited.
I had decided that as much as I love my Pfaff sewing machine that they do have lots of better features out today and my skills have improved enough to warrant dreaming for something better. I spent $15.00 on chances at a sewing machine today and tada- my name was called over the PA system as the winner of that very machine I was hoping to go home with.
While I was doing the paperwork to take home that sewing machine my name was once again called. I had spent $5.00 to take a chance on a big basket of quilting stuffs. I had won that also.
I have been so blessed today but then I feel blessed most days anyway- lucky might be a better word today. I like this luck streak- think I will just have to keep it. Well, now I have a sewing machine to learn how to use. Back to work I guess.
