I found a really great giveaway......

....great for us quilters and knitters, especially, because we can win something really different from what we ourselves create !

The giveaway is here and the prize is this painting........oh, aren't you glad that Spring is finally here, and doesn't this painting just make you take a deep restful breath !  You can almost smell the blooms.
The drawing will be on April 10th and you have a chance at as many as 3 entries, so go and have a look for yourself if you like !

Tomorrow I get to watch Alyssia again for a few hours, and maybe after that, I'll get the chance to baste the hexagon-appliqued quilt.  I pieced together yardage for the back today (out of necessity, not design.......it's all one print) and cut out the batting piece.  I didn't have a single piece of cotton batting large enough without piecing, but I found that I had an entire full-sized polyester batt, so I'm going to use part of it.  It'll make a really soft lap quilt.......could be a nice change from my norm.   It should hand-quilt like a dream, too.

Praise for my LORD for the way he moves in my daily life........he cares about the little things that can often add up to seem like mountains.  We had borrowed a lift chair to use after hubby's hip surgery, and it quit working a few days ago.  I tried everything I could think of , and today, after confessing to the owner that it was messed up and I would try to pay to have it fixed, it miraculously started working again !  AND we received discounts on two of the nagging medical bills, allowing us to face them with a smile.  He supplies ALL OUR NEEDS ......... and I ADORE him !
