IGmini Swap and BIG FAT (quarter) win(s)

IGmini Swap Received 

My new mini has a home on the wall of my sewing room right next to my computer and for now the hoop sits on the shelf above.  I love them both - thank you Kristin @ktstitches and swap mama @mugirl113!

adorable label

Kristin included yummy chocolates, Cotton & Steel and some notions along with a cute card.   You can see the one I sent to my partner in this post.

Lucky Me, x2

In case you happened to notice that big bundle of Kona sitting next to my mini and wondered if I'd been on a shopping spree, the answer is no - I've been on a Lucky Streak.  Thank you Rita @ Red Pepper Quilts and Julie @ Intrepid Threads for the giveaway!

If you follow me you might also remember that I was the BIG winner of this staggering collection of  Denyse Schmidt Hadley FQ's bundle on Quilt Dad's blog - so not to rub it in or anything, but I hadn't shared a picture yet.  Thanks John and Free Spirit Fabrics, you've made for one happy girl. 

Sewing for Sydney #hashtag blocks

Molli Sparkles FAQ details blog post

With so much to be thankful for, I wanted to spread the love a bit and had (made) time on Wednesday to sew these seven blocks and mail them off as part of the Sewing for Sydney quilt making efforts - check out the link above for all the details and help out if you can.
