MY WINNINGS ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!

OMG, I was soooooo excited!!!! Last week on the Wishful Stitches Blog, I left a comment to get my name in the hat for Cyndi's fabulous giveaway, which was a beautiful quilt. Instead of your normal "random drawing," we had to comment about our biggest quilting mishap. Well, I've got oodles of 'em, but I chose the time I appliqued my block to my jammies while stitching away on the couch. That little blooper didn't get me the quilt; but since she had so many wonderful mishaps to choose from, she decided to add 2 prizes to the pot, and my "dingbat moment" got me this little beauty :)


For all my "non quilting" friends and family, this is what we call a "jelly roll;" and when you unroll it, you get this ........


Can you believe it cost $8.70 to mail this little guy to Davie!!!!!!! At the rate postage is increasing, we're gonna have to go back to the "Pony Express" soon. Anyway, I recently saw jelly roll strips sewn together just like I laid them out here and topped off w/a small and then a large border ... it made a beautiful quilt, so my mind is pondering doing the same with these little gems :) Thank you Cyndi!!!!!!!!!
