A BIG thank you!

Look what I won from Heather Mulder over at Anka's Treasures. I know. I can't believe it! I won the grand prize for her first blogiversary giveaway. She is so generous to give away this quilt that she designed and pieced. Isn't it beautiful!?!

So, as you can imagine, I am also completely thrilled about these two books that she sent along too. I can't wait to get started on making a few of her quilt designs. Both books have a lot of patterns that I would LOVE to make, but if I could only pick a few (time and money - there's usually never enough of either) then I would start with Center of Attention, Buttercup, Baby Bloomer and Secret Garden. I guess I'm in an appliqued-flower-kind-of-mood. But there really are many more from both of these books that I would love to make. You guys should check them out! Great work, Heather!

Thanks so much Heather! It's an honor to have one of your quilts! And don't worry - it will be well cared for. It's already found a nice home...Thanks again.
