The other day when I got home from work,

I found 2 packages on my back steps!

I was expecting one, but there were TWO!!!

This is the expected one:

along with everything to make it!

Aren't these fabrics awesome?

There's even a cool zipper pull that is a dolphin.

(you can see it in the top left of the pattern picture)

It's the next on my 'to do' list now.

Wish me luck with the zipper....

The second little package

was a TOTAL surprise

When I opened it up,

this cute little mushroom was inside:

recognize this fabric?

and inside was a piece of cotton batting

and inside the batting....

This gorgeous, blue, fused glass heart.

I love this.

Thank you Em,

from the depths of my heart.

The Guitar Quilt top is aaaalllllmoooosttt done!

All I need to do is stitch down the fused applique.

Unless I decide to take 2 of the inner borders off & turn them around the right way.

<sigh>

That's one of the drawbacks of not having some place big enough to be able to see it all before I sewed them on.

Or even notice it after I sewed them on,

before I sewed on the rest of the borders.

Look at all this BEAUTIFUL Moda Sunkissed fabric I won from
1 Choice 4 Quilting!!

And, of course, while I was picking which ones I wanted,

I had to buy something too!

I have absolutely no idea

what they will turn into,

but they were calling my name!

Have a excellent weekend everyone!!!
