I've Got Mail!

Look what I got in the mail!
I was the lucky winner of Nicole's Owl swap! Isn't he the cutest....I've named him Hootie. And the glittered C is perfect! He already has found a spot to nest in. Thanks Nicole!

Things have been pretty quiet here. Took a class at the quilt shop Thursday night. The Lone Star, using fusible interfacing. So far I have one diamond done. I can't believe how easy it is and how nicely all the seams match. We are doing the wall hanging size, so only 7 more diamonds to make.

Got my flu shot a couple days ago and I have been feeling, how should I say it, YUCKY!!! I know they say you don't get sick from the shot but......! I got mine at our local grocery store, and there's just something really funny about sitting in front of the frozen food isle getting a shot! The last 3 years I've gotten one I've not had the flu - so I guess I'll put up with feeling a little YUCKY!! Come on everyone - get your flu shots!!!

Tomorrow it's dinner with the whole family at the Cheesecake Factory - yummmmmmmy!!!! Hey let's forget dinner, what flavor cheesecake shall I have? Later gators!

The tuxedo chessecake is always good. Like your lonestar, your right I think we will have to kit it.

Cheryl said...

I can't wait to put it together Carol. It was so much easier than I thought. I'll take pictures at class of the other ones.

The tuxedo is good - but I love the cookie dough cheesecake, we'll see Donna! I'm loving that lonestar!

Yvonne said...

Cute owl! Can you go wrong with any flavor of cheesecake? :) I love your lonestar. That's one of my favorite patterns.

Cheryl said...

Your right Yvonne - any flavor will do! I love the owl and the lonestar is so much fun!

...and WOW on that perfect Lone Star block -- I'm not familiar with using fusible interfacing for piecing (but I think I may investigate that!)
