Good Eggs Bunny Hop- Winner

The Winner for the Give away is #7 Kaye, My Hubby picked the winner after I printed out all the comments all 25 pages of them and read them to him. He picked Kaye's because it reminded him of when he used to tell the kids if they weren't good he would got hunt the Easter Bunny, and they believed him, which is really funny as my hubby isn't a hunter, lol.
Kaye I sent you an email and you have until April 5, 2010 to email me back your address.
Today starts the "Good Eggs" Giveaway hosted by Sandi at A Legacy of Stitches Blog. There are a bunch of friends that blog that are going to be in this also so what you get to do is go "Hopping
down the Blogs" to see all the giveaways. All the Blogs will be posted on Sandi's Blog so be sure to click on the link above.


Now for my Give-a-way, this is a combination of this and my 300th post (no I didn't forget) The basket of Bunnies above is hiding the prize behind them, they wanted it to be and Spring/Easter Surprise, just like when growing up you didn't know what kind of Easter basket you where getting or what was going to be in.


Anyways here is a picture of Easter Sunday when I was growing up.

I remember getting up on Easter morning to get ready for church and then when we got home there would be baskets on the dinning room table and eggs hidden in the backyard for me and my older brother to find. But the weirdest thing that ever happened was we had this big Tom cat and for about 4 to 5 years each Easter morning he would leave a dead rabbit on the floor by the door to the garage and every year Mom would forget and almost step on it on her way to the car. We don't know why he did it but, he finally just stopped doing it.

So for this giveaway, I want your Weirdest Easter Stories, just leave them in the comments. I'm not going to make you add yourself as a follower or anything like that, just leave a comment. This contest will stop on March 28th at midnight Eastern time and my Hubby and I will pick the best story and I will post the winner on March 29th, 2010.
Thanks for coming to my blog.

Sew & Quilt's Mystery Quilt

Me sewing
 I had a really good time at the mystery quilt yesterday we got there at 2pm and didn't leave until 9pm. They had it set up so that all we had to do was sew, the ladies that work at the LQS did all of the ironing for us. I wish I could take one of them home with me it saves so much time when you don't have to stop and iron


We had a pot-luck around 5pm and after that everyone started getting really tired, but we sewed on. The mystery's we do are from Debbie Caffrey and next year she might be the one teaching the mysery to us, that would be so cool.This one is called "Undercover in Chicago V" I'm making the smaller one. I put a picture of the blocks I have done so far, I'm still sewing on the others, hope to get it done this week so it doesn't become a UFO like last years

Sew & Quilt's Shopping

Butterfly YOYO
 Yesterday I went to my LQS Sew & Quilt Shop and we did a Mystery quilt class. While I was there I got to look around the shop and I found bunches of goodies. The top picture is a Yo Yo maker for butterflies so I thought I would try it.
Fabric for Backing
The next is some fabric I got for backing a table topper I have it's the silver fabric. The other fabric is for 2-sided napkins, the back side.
new Scissors; Walking foot
Then I found a walking foot to fit my sewing machine haven't tryed it out yet  but I can't wait to. I also got a new pair of scissors in purple.
Fabric for napkins
This panel is for the front side of the napkins aren't they going to be pretty?
Well that's all I bought and the next post will be about the mystery.

My piles of things to finish for March

Doesn't that look yummy? It's cold tonight and we are have a party at Sandi's Wooly Buddies group on yahoo. It's an Anniversary party, so I will be up late tonight in my jammies.
See this First pile it's all Fabric for 2 projects. The first one is my guild 3-d wall hanging that we did this month that I want to finish and what's under it in the basket is my LQS's mystery from last year, it's queen size so it's taking me way to long to finish it and next Saturday is theis years mystery which I will be going to.
This next pile is all the cut out plastic canvas for a TBC (TissueBox Cover) swap at my P.C. group on Yahoo. I have to have them finished and mailed out in April. The roses you see behind them is a p.c. tissue box cover I got from a swap years ago.
These are all my BOM's i'm doing and other monthly projects. I'm alittle behind due to all the doctor appointments and tests I have to get done right now but they should be easy to get caught up on between now and April.
This is why none of the other is getting worked on right now. It's the Quilt for my SIL, we found out he is being deployed in April and I just found out they are getting leave so I will see my DD & SIL for the first time in over a year. They hopefully will be here next week so I want to have this finished by Monday. Plus I have to finish some p.c. Easter Coasters for them and an Easter Basket for SIL to match the one I made DD, which I dug out of the closet to give to her. i'm hoping to have the borders put on tonight then do the quilting tomorrow just X's in the middle of the blocks and FM on the borders, then binding done Sunday.
I really hope I can get it finished. Wish my luck.

300th Post -Wow

I can't believe this is my 300th post. I was going to have a give-away then I decided to combine it with the March Good Egg give-away coming up so stay tuned for that.
The Cross Stitch chart below is my prize from Cheryl at Prairie Grove Peddler from a giveaway she had on her blog, I can't wait to stitch it it is so cute.

This bag is from a Challenge in my Cross Stitch group, I had alot of fun making it and made the fairy into a front pocket.My Hubby has been watching the Food Channel on TV, so I decided to see what he has learned from it and asked him to make me a fancy dinner. This is what he came up with. Doesn't that look good? It's Pork chop and spring salad, with peas and applesauce. It was really good and he made some kind of sauce for the pork that was mouth watering. Plus he made steamed shrimp scampi for before that, I forgot to take a picture of it, just ate all of it lol.
Then he made dessert, it's a cimmion (sp) sauce with litely browned pears with vallina frosting on the sides. It was soooooo yummy.

Also I changed my colors for March. Got alot of sewing to do this month.
