Little Penguin Quilts Through the Year

Lucky!

Since my broken wrist happened a few weeks ago, I've spent a lot of time looking at other quilters's blogs and checking out blog hops, too!  Often, they will be having a giveaway, and if you comment, you're put into the competition for the giveaway.

Well, the quilting goddesses must have been smiling on me recently because I have been lucky enough to win not one, but TWO giveaways!

First of all, I've been following Quiltmaker's blog hop celebrating the release of Volume #13 of their 100 Blocks issue.  And I won a copy of both Volume 12 and Volume 13!  Plus a charm pack of Rhapsody by Sue Zipken for Clothworks.  Lots of beautiful blues!



Then, Brooke of  Silly Mama Quilts was featured on Sew Mama Sew's blog a week or so ago, with a sweet table runner tutorial that I loved, and definitely would like to make.  Over on her blog, she was giving away a beautiful fat quarter bundle of  Blush and Bloom which the table runner is made out of.  And I won that giveaway, too!  Oh. My. Goodness.


So pretty!  And so very generous!  Thank you, Brooke!  Maybe I will use a few of these fat quarters for my Wiggle Time quilt!


Meanwhile, in my continuing quest to find projects to sew on that don't require a lot of cutting, I remembered these blocks that I made back in January, but never did anything else with.


So, I did pull them out and started working on sewing up the rows.  This is going to be a happy and fun quilt for someone, one of these days!


Like Sandra said in her Saturday post - Sewing is my therapy!  I can't go very long without spending time in my sewing room!

So sorry to hear about the wrist incident. Ouch! I guess that's why the quilting goddesses splurged some sweetness on you. Congrats on those wonderful wins. Your blocks are very cheerful. Wish you a speedy recovery. ;^)

Diann you are one lucky quilter, at least with winning these wonderful giveaways. But Ow Ow Ow about your wrist. I hop you aren't in too much pain any more. And that is great that you found something you could sew! Gotta have that quilting therapy!

Congratulations on your winnings and I hope the your "sore paw" continues to heal up. The almost all solids blocks are very dynamic!

Love what you are doing with those blocks! The scattered values create quite a dancing cheerful effect! And congrats, a couple of great wins!

I won't call you lucky until your wrist heals. But I'm glad you dug out that quilt because its a beauty.

Ditto re Sally's comment. Luck comes in mysterious ways, maybe your wins were destined to wipe out your bad luck..... Beautiful prizes and good on you for finding something to keep you occupied... Sewing therapy rules 😀 hugs Sue xx
