I have been going great with Peg's Challenge and have already quilted the main block - which doesn't not take much at all (unsure if to quilt around the writing as yet) and also finished the side block! I am very happy with my stitches, not TOO uneven and am really getting the hang of this Thimblelady technique!
I decided not to quilt in the ditch as I am using cream DMC Pearl thread and wanted the stitches to be shown: (the black thread is my basting thread lol).JPG)
What a LOVELY surprise from Lynda on Thursday!! She made me this beautiful cushion. Aren't I lucky??!! She has used a red variegated thread - I think and I have put this in my dining room on a cane chest I have in there!! Looks great!! Thankyou SO much Lynda xx
Ok, this is my 99th post!! YAY!! 99 post since 27/1/07!! So, to help me celebrate I am having a giveaway on my 100th post. So, keep checking here to see what the prize is (if you have not already guessed). Hopefully get around to it on Wed/Thurs........Happy stitching

What a lovely post full of eye candy.
Love your quilt, the scrumptious block and the cushion your friend stitched for you.
Thanks for sharing.
Things are coming along nicely Sarah! I am working on block 4 of Truly Scrumptious - haven't picked it up for a while. I have almost finished Christine's trre ornament as well, looking forward to having it completed and being able to post it off to her!

Sarah, I can see why you haven't started Lynette's free BOM. You been too busy stitching other things and your work is lovely.
Rosie's book "The Gift" is beautiful you won't be disapointed.

What a cute cushion you have made!
You are very lucky. I bought the Truly BOM and Leane's House at Honeysuckle cottage last february but I hadn't notice from them.... hope to make my dreams true and make these two quilts. Your Truly looks very beautiful. Congratulations
So much loveliness here, Sarah. Truly Scrumptious looks amazing. Good on your for handquilting your quilt. Not something I'm good at. And I love the redwork cushion. Would look right at home at my place! (As it does at yours.)
Looks great
Oh, I would so love to be beary, beary tide!
tres joli felicitation, bises
Hi Sarah, Wanted to email you privately but your email link was not enabled. Anyway...I have looked high and low for the darling cinderberry designs you used, which were great by the way, and would love to know where to find them? I went to the designers website, but the US stores for some reason are not carrying her stuff. Would it be too much trouble to email me back?
Thanks much,
Desi
