"15 Minutes of Play" Book

Almost forgot to report this:

On Christmas Eve day, the FedEx truck pulled into the yard. Hum, I couldn't remember ordering anything more for Christmas presents and I didn't think we were receiving anything else from anyone. So my curiosity was in full gear, wondering what the delivery man had for us.

Well, what do you know, it was the book  "15 Minutes of Play" by Victoria Findlay Wolfe that I won on the blog hop. Couldn't believe that it was actually delivered on Christmas Eve day. That was almost the best Christmas present (not quite). I spent the next hour or so looking over the book. I even shared and let my daughter, Brenda, look it over. (Guess I was in the Christmas sharing mood!!!)

What fun ideas in this book. Thank you Victoria!!

Design Wall Monday

I am so impatiently waiting for my copy of  Victoria Findlay Wolfe's book "15 MINUTES OF PLAY". I received a card and a note from Victoria today, informing me that C&T will be sending me a copy. Since I have been following her blog for a while, it is doubly thrilling to win her book. Yippee!!!!

Well, my Dotty Dresden Plate quilt has progressed to the last border. Oh sigh --- I had to go buy some fabric for the last border. Originally, it was going to be a pieced border alternating between white on black, and black on white with dresden plates in the corners. It just did not look right, so Iaid it out with just a black on white fabric and it looked much better. The two black borders with the colorful squares has been sewn on since this picture was taken (the quilt is folded in quarters since it is so large). I found a white on black fabric that repeats one of the fabrics used in the background of the dresden blocks and will work very well for the outer border. Now I just need to cut the border pieces and sew them on. It is such a happy quilt but quite large. 

Easy Street is progressing quite nicely. I have completed part two, have half of part three sewn, and all of part four cut. We have Sew-Sew Monday at a quilt shop in St. Cloud and I hope to catch up with all the parts. Can't wait for part five!!  Getting a little impatient and I should be doing other things. 

We will be having our family Christmas on Sunday, so I need to get the shopping, cooking, and cleaning done. Oh how we set ourselves up!!  Procrastination has done it's job so well again. LOL
