Prize Choices from Previous Winners

I occurred to me we have not had any Pictures of the prize choices of the winners from June and July...so I managed to get some Pictures of what they chose.

Leanne...
our winner for June chose 4 fat quarters from the Fabric Cafe.

What a lovely choice of fabrics...she was so happy to get them and is figuring out what to make with them now.

Lois...
our winner from July chose a Moda Happy Charm pack from The Fabric Cafe.

They look very Bright and fresh...I am not sure what Lois is going to do with this lovely prize.

Well you could be next to win a lovely prize from the Fabric Cafe or the Extra prize for this month.

But you have to be in it to win it.

keep an eye out for details of next months challenge...

August Challenge Counting Down

We have two more entries for the August Challenge...thanks Naomi and Pam, well done...Pam's is made from Lollies/Candy on the outside believe it or not...not sure about you but that would not last long in my house before the kids would have stripped it completely and left all the wrappers lying around.

I would need to wrap it up and hide it until Christmas day, it is terrific Pam. Naomi I love the little decorations on your tree, I can't quite tell what they are but they certainly make it look fabulous.

well according to the countdown timer we have 1 day and 8 hours left till the draw...come on Ladies I know some of you are out there working away at your little project...keep up the good work...and lets get those entries in, I would not want you to miss out on the opportunity to grab either of the prizes.

Hugs

Don't forget the Extra prize draw for this month....so we have 2 prizes for the month of August...look here for a picture of the extra prize.

A new Book...Just in Time...

My New Book Fresh from the UK

I am so excited because my new book has arrived 9 days after I placed the order on the Book Depository

It has arrived in good timing just before the beginning of the challenge for September, which of course is a Doll...

This book has many doll patterns in it for Christmas so you could see why I am excited about getting it right now.

I have just placed another order with them today so look forward to the next delivery...did I mention there is no charge for postage to Australia (not sure about other countries) so I managed to get the book for a steal really.

In case you could not tell from the picture the book is a Tilda book by Tone Finnanger.

I really love her work. I have to say thanks to the ladies in My online Craft group for telling me about The Book Depository...I am sure it was one of the US gals that let us know about it. That is how we share good information about different places to buy our crafting supplies.

Take a look at the challenge entries for August in earlier posts...they are coming along just fine.

Well I best be off to read this lovely treasure...I was thinking of gardening tomorrow but have decided to get a head start on my September challenge item instead...

keep stitching Happily
