Hi, all!
I'm definitely ready to get my whoop whoop on today - for several reasons!!! Vacation starts today, and in order to get ready for vacation, I finished three quilts...
...and quilted eight more that some other good folks have taken to bind and finish....
I'll tell more about these quilts in the next quilt ministry update, but these quilts will bring our total this year to 100 so far! Whoop whoop!!
AND - - - I've hit 700 followers!!!!
Because this event can't go by unnoticed, or uncelebrated, we've got a great giveaway!!! The wonderful Julie of The Intrepid Thread is offering up a fat quarter bundle of Amy Butler's new line, Cameo, in the Tall Stories color way!
