Yay for me too, the random number thingy is a piece of cake.  Yeah!  This stuff is getting easier.
The fun part was that I printed out the posts to hand number them to check and re-check for error.  My heart was racing as I neared the number 52!

Picking Dandelions, I will shoot you off a email today, must get your mailing address.  I want to get these out to you this week!!!
Thank you all who left comments.  After the week I had, the laughter was healing.  Hope you all take the time to read those comments.  Real life is funny!!!

Blessings,

Sew & Tell

I finished this top!  I got a picture of the whole thing, but since it is a signature quilt I decided not to use it in order to protect the names of the families in our Bible group.  There are lots of minors involved.  I did decide to show you all a picture of a block full of verses picked out for the recipient.  I will talk with his family after it is gifted about sharing more of his story.

Here you can see what the border looks like.  I am planning to use white thread to stitch on the white, but have not decided what thread to use on the border.  The back will be this white sheet from Target, with a few scraps of the purples from the top.  I am afraid that white will be too stark on the boarder.  Purple will be stark on the back.  Not excited about using clear thread.  Any ideas would be welcome!!

Siggy blocks and potholders are going out in the mail today!  Yay!!!!  Nothing more than a sneak peek until the gift is given on those potholders!!  Then I will post them here, and on the flickr group.

On a final note, the giveaway deadline is 9 p.m. EST tonight!  It has blessed me greatly to know that I am not alone in being a little...scattered.  Today while finishing the boarder, I sewed for nearly a yard before realizing that the bobbin had run out.  Good thing that so many of you have mentioned doing the same thing, I didn't feel a bit bad!  If you have a moment, read down through the comments here on my giveaway post, I have been truly blessed by all you great ladies have shared.  It has made a week of struggling much easier to bear.  (And given me several cases of the giggles too!)  I started out trying to answer all of the comments, but soon became overwhelmed.  I have an old, slow computer.  Please all know that you have made this a wonderful experience, and you have given more than I can give back.

Please click on the Sew & Tell Friday button on the side bar to visit more wonderful ladies, and wonderful finishes!

Blessings back at you all!

KT's Chaos Continues: The Giveaway!

Today I have:  finished signing my siggy swap blocks, put the first border on my first siggy quilt, done two loads of laundry, and managed to keep the house running in order.  This begs the question, "Is multi-tasking the root of all evil absent-mindedness?".

To celebrate surviving the chaos that was yesterday, I am going to share ALL of the above pictured Flea Market Fancy with one of you.  This is my first giveaway, so please go easy on me!

1.  One entry per person.  For kicks, tell me some of the crazy things you have absent-mindedly done!!! (Just for fun, not required.)

2.  You are welcome to blog about this or start following my blog, but since this is my first time out, NO EXTRA ENTRIES.  I think that it will just be easier on me.  Remember, I have been a little muddled!

Deadline for entry is 9 p.m. ET Friday evening.

I will try to use a random number generator to pick the winner, but no promises that I will be able to figure that out at this point!  I will draw names if need be.

I will do my best to announce the winner Monday morning. :0)

Remember to make sure I have your email information, you wouldn't want to miss out on FMF!

Blessings to you all!

KT
