Thank you!

A few weeks ago, Peg from Happy In Quilting had a giveaway, and I was the lucky winner! The prize was this gorgeous quilt that she had made. It arrived here a few days ago and it's just beautiful. I have a lot of quilts that I've made, but none are as special as those that have been made for me. There is just something wonderful about a quilt that is made just for you, given as a gift. So thank you, Peg...I will always treasure this quilt!


Peg also included a few treats with the quilt. There was a package of eucalyptus candies, which I'd show you, but Grace has really enjoyed them! There was also a tube of Vegemite. I had no idea what it was, I only knew it from the old Men at Work song. I haven't tried it yet, maybe for lunch today?

We've been out of school for a week now. Why is it the last 3 days of school seemed to take a year, but the first week out of school flew by? We've been busy, but things are starting to settle down for the summer. I've had time to quilt some customer quilts and do a little sewing. It's also time to start building this year's Canoe Carnival float. Our design this year is simple, so it should be an easy build. I designed this year's float, so I hope it turns out! The boss is happy...he can use power tools. As he always says about Canoe Carnival...You combine beer, electricity, power tools and water...what's not to love?

If I get something done, I'll be back later with a peek at the latest quilt I'm working on. I need to add some pink to it!

Wow! What a great win! Do tell what you think of the Vegemite. (I see it's a Kraft project...then it's gotta be good stuff!)

I have no fear that your float will be grand!
