Is it my age?
I'm getting so forgetful!! A few really nice things happened to me this past week that I forgot about...!
I'm straightening up the living room, and what do I find? Some beautiful mail!
Thelma at Cupcakes 'n Daisies sent this beautiful mug rug and lovely encouraging letter AND post-it notes!! How did she know I love, love, love post-it notes!?! :-D I even have post-it note fabric in my All about Me quilt!! Very cool, Thelma! and thank you so much. She sent the gift to me for finishing Eventide, a Miss Rosie pattern quilt-along she hosted. It was such fun to do -- and she's giving me a gift!?! Awesome!
I also got my fabric from Diane in the Hands-2-Help Challenge over at Confessions of a Fabric Addict! The quilts we make from this challenge will go to orphans in Romania.
I'm seeing pinwheels or something equally light-hearted and playful with this bright fabric! Fun, fun, fun! 
The Mary Mannakee Quilt block-of-the-month from Common Threads. I have NO recollection of ordering this BOM! LOL None!! But I love it -- and it's red and green and so pretty!!!! So, whether I remember it or not, I'm NOT sending it back!! LOL It goes on the list. Or I may break over and start it...
If I don't forget!!
Psalm 103
1 Praise the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
On this Easter Sunday, I dare not forget His benefits -- the most important being that He conquered death, hell and the grave!! -- and that He did this for you and me!!
Praise the Lord!
Blessings,
P.S.!! I almost forgot -- the Traveling Stash!!! Random.org chose number 37 from the entries: Jen W who said, "Would love to explore this box!!! I've got MANY things to add to it also - just never want to GIVE away good sewing supplies...I always want them to go to a good home where they'll be used. Awesome idea!!!" An email is winging it's way to Jen!! Thanks to everyone who commented!!

I'm seeing pinwheels or something equally light-hearted and playful with this bright fabric! Fun, fun, fun! Joanne over at Thread Head is hosting two weeks of practicing your free-motion quilting! I've not officially joined (I'm so intimidated!), but I practiced and managed to passably quilt one of my UFO's for this month. Pick Up Sticks is a Jo Morton quilt, and I used my walking foot to quilt in the ditch between the "sticks" then free-motioned the feathers on the border. The back doesn't look as good as the front (I should have used a better matching thread to camouflage my mistakes!! LOL), but it's not too bad as one of my first efforts on my home sewing machine.
Finally, I got this in the mail yesterday:
