I had two other winnings that I have been meaning to post about but it kept slipping my mind. So, without further delay:
Swap win
I participated in the Fall Forum Block swap over on The Quilting Bee Forum on Delphi Forums.
We were each sent a piece of the focus fabric. Our blocks needed to use that fabric and any other fabrics that we wanted to use.
I can't seem to find a picture of the block that I made. . . . but I really liked it and hoped that I would win all the blocks that were made.
Unfortunately, I did not win one of the "grand prizes".
But, I won one of the "runner up prizes". . . . . which might actually be more fun!!
The picture below shows the focus fabric. . . . and that is a nice sized piece of the fabric that we were sent. . . .it is a New Zealand fabric (if memory serves me) and feels wonderful.
I should have opened the piece up fully so that you could all see how great the fabric is. Perhaps next time!
In addition I received a package of 10" squares. . . . they are wonderful also. . . .and, again, I guess I should have opened the package up so that you could see all the colors.
There was also this little charm (sorry, I can't get the picture to turn).
Blog Giveaway win
My other win was from Wilma's blog . . . . .she had what I am calling a "blog relaunch" since she had been away from her blog for a while.
I "know" Wilma from Delphi forums and her blog and I was floored when she wrote to tell me that I won her giveaway.
Here are the patterns that she sent:
I am seriously thinking of attempting the tulip bag. The pattern says "Two Hour". . . .I doubt I will get the first one done that quickly. . . but the piecing seems straight forward enough for me to attempt.
The other patterns look interesting too. . . . . now, if I could only find about 56 more hours in each day I might actually get to them! LOL
Here is the rest of the giveaway. There is quite a bit of fabric there. . . . and it has a wonderful silky feel to it.
The Magic Templates will need to be looked at a bit. . . . . I am not much of an applique person and the quick "once over" I gave this tool does not really allow me to comment on it fully.
I am hoping to get another post in later today as a "goodbye" to 2014 and a "hello" to 2015. But it may not get done until we are in the new year.
In peace and pieces,

You can't read the entire story so here it is:
According to laws of aerodynamics the bumble bee cannot fly;
Its body is top heavy for its wings and that's the simple reason why.
But the bumble bee doesn't know this fact,
and so it flies anyway for all to see.
Remember this when you're losing faith or hope God's proof that the impossible can be.
