remember this quilt?

This was the Wraptheminlove raffle quilt- the one I promoted folks to buy tickets for in our area and at my work place ( and here too). The drawing was last Saturday and I missed seeing who had won on the website...so I called up and asked, who won??? She said, it's posted on the site...and I said, but I didn't see it ! ok, I will go look...then with a lot of laughing I was told, I was the winner! Yes, yes, yes!!! I was thrilled with this news- as I truly loved this quilt, a lot due to so many friends contributing blocks to make it and Linda and her mom designing it and putting it together so perfectly and then Ellen quilting it, and best of it all the funds were going to support one of my favorite charities. Once a label is put on, it will wing it's way back to me for good! I am so glad I decided to buy even more tickets than I first planned. It certainly paid off.

Todays good news continued on this evening with a phone call from my son who lives in Texas. He has been going to college there, working so hard, and graduates on the 15th of this month-worrying about not having a job. I kept telling him the job would come...just graduate first! He accepted a job offer today and starts on the 19th! I am so thrilled for him...and as any parent would also know- so relieved too! I am just one proud mama right now.

And, I finally sat down and started the hand work on a binding too tonight. I really enjoy doing hand work and with a two hour season opener of The Closer tv show to watch, plus an extra night of Life as well....lots of stitching has been done.

Finally, I forgot to include the terrific machine quilting class I took in November- I guess there was a lot more quilty stuff that went on than I realized.

One of the best things about doing a blog is the tracking it does of what you spend your time doing....I am looking forward to 2007 in review...I am sure a lot more happened than I remember!
