Yes I'm over the edge..............Sue and The Versitale Award

I spent a lot of time collecting my links to pass this award on. Copied everything and posted it to my blog. I copied Sue's comments before it as well.......LOL.

The first part was Sue's response to her receiving the award from Barbara. Yes I was so overwhelmed at Sue giving me the award, I stole her comments.

I was very honored to receive this award from Sue. You can tell I was speachless since I used her comments instead of writing some of my own.

It's that #UI^&*&* Medicare card that messed me up mentally.......I wonder if I can return the card???? I haven't been able to think straight since it came in the mail.

Thanks again Sue for the Award and your 'Words.' Giggle.

Applique Thursday!

Block 9

Almost through. I have no clue what I did to that poor birds wing. I was watching TV at the same time. I think I broke it......grin.

Go post your applique or your applique dreams at Angie's!

The Versatile Blogger Award!

You can only imagine my surprise when I found out that Barbra from Cat Patches recognized me with The Versatile Blogger Award! I was so unbelievably surprised when I saw this. There are soooo many incredible blogs out there. I've been blogging about quilting for a little over a year now and I just can't believe how much I've learned, how much I've grown and hopefully that I've been able to give a little back.

One of those special blogs is Cat Patches. Barbara was the host of "occupy your sewing room", hehehehe, like I need a reason to stay in there :) But the rest of my family bought into that one so it worked. And she has the New FO program which is just brillian!! I don't have a lot of UFOs, yes I have some but I have extra fingers when counting them. Her monthly program celebrates the new projects you've started, Genius I tell you! So stop by and she what she has going on over there if you haven't already. Of course if you like cute cuddly kitties, she's got those there too! Thanks Barb!!

Now the rules for this thing:

Add the award to your blog.
Thank the blogger who gave it to you.
Mention seven random things about yourself. (see below)
List the rules.
Award to 15 bloggers.
Inform each of those 15 by leaving a comment on their blog.

Seven random things about me:

I collect pigs
Favorite color is green
I'm a closet Green Bay Packer fan - actually I've recently come out of the closet much to may family's dismay :)
I love curved piecing and just don't do enough of it
When I'm at work, I look at the shirts that guys are wearing, and think about how their shirts would look in a quilt. A couple times I've even asked them what they do with their shirts when they are done with.
I want to raise chickens but need to learn how to build a chicken coop that my dogs won't get into.
I don't pre-wash my fabrics - gasp - there I've written it for all the world to see

And now the fun part!! I get to give this award to 15 wonderful bloggers. There are so many good ones out there, but this is where I'm starting - in no particular order –
