I wonder

am I crazy for thinking that my mama sent me a little

sign from above to let me know she is 

still with me??

my mama's family nickname was 'Ting'

it came about when her brother started to talk

and he couldn't say Christina, so he called

her Ting, it stuck and everyone

called her Ting

My little quilting sign broke while I was tidying up my

sewing room the other night. It broke into 3 pieces

Qu, il & Ting

I like to think it is a sign from her, crazy I know

but makes me smile. 

I talked to my dad this afternoon, and shared some

potentially exciting news and his reply was

'that's good isn't it'

mum would have been as excited as I am 

and would have wanted to know everything.

I will share as soon as it becomes much more

than a very good possibility.

and I am very excited. 

but 

I miss her so very much

Don't forget about my little giveaway
you can find it

A Giveaway, Photos and a Question

As promised here is the centre block of 

Dancing Grandma's

does it need the berries on all four big leaf thingies

my amazingly clean and sorted out cutting table

I tidied up my little magnet boards

even the computer desk was tackled 

(just don't open the drawers, hehehe)

beside my chair was tackled too

alas there was a tragedy, my little Quilting sign

took a tumble and broke, luckily I have a rather

handy husband who WILL FIX IT TODAY

onto the Giveaway,

I use Clover Glass Head pins, I ONLY use these pins, 

this morning I found some Clover Flower Head pins, brand new

never touched a piece of fabric or anyones hand

so I have 2 little boxes of these to give away

all you need to do to have these pins is pick a number between

1 and 50, and on Monday I will ask a small

child (lucky I have 1 of those) to pick a winning number.

and the Question

are you a quilting brand snob like me? I love clover products

I use their glass head pins, their appliqué pins, their blue

wash away pens, I use their needles for hand sewing,

I have 2 of their mini irons......

I use Olfa cutting mats, cutters and blades

My reasoning is that you get what you pay for, I like

my tools to last, whether that be cutters, mats, pins

& markers, 

What is your Go To quilting brand and why??
