on. I needed to finish my quilt that is going to be in the booth at Road to California so it can get quilted and I can get the binding on it. Nothing like waiting till the last minute...but here it is finished!! The seco
nd part of my mission was to get all the Christmas decorations down and put away. This closet is under our stairs and goes way back...I know it looks like chaos----well, I guess it is chaos, but very organized chaos:-), and that's my Thanksgiving Annie right in front!On Christmas
I won a drawing for a beautiful red and cream toile pillow from Angela at Cottage Magpie. Earlier in the day I started decorating with some of my Valentines things, and it looks great on the entry bench. Talk about eye candy..Angela's site is beautiful! You can spend hours looking at all the wonderful pictures. Thanks Angela!

Here's my new favorite quiltie thing...Mary Ellen's Best Press. I love this stuff. In comes in different scents and even an unscented one! It is great for using on your blocks when you are piecing. Leaves no residue on your iron or ironing board! I'm even using it to iron John's shirts. Can't wait to try it on an applique project.
Best wishes to everyone for a very healthy and happy 2008 with lots of blogging adventures ahead!

Happy New Year, Cheryl. Very, very pretty quilt - you've been busy!
I've been using Mary Ellen's Best Press for several months and love it. In fact, it's time to buy a few more bottles. Time to shop! LOL
I've looked for Best Press in all the quilt shops I frequent and none of them have it. I suppose I'll have to order some online. I keep reading great comments about it in magazines.
Love your quilt, talk about down to the wire....lol... Ok I've read about this best press, but still unsure as to what it actually is.....
I love the Best Press, buy it by the case! You're right-- it's perfect for piecing and for shirts, too! I love your Valentine's quilt; the pillow is precious, lucky you! I'm busy taking down Christmas today, your quilt for the R to C booth is lovely! Well done, Cheryl!
So you will be at the quilt show in Ontario.....I think I may just have to come see you!!!!
OK I will come see you at the quilt show for sure!!!!!
So that's what a holiday closet looks like. LOL!!! I see Annie peeking out back there.
Love your quilt you finished. And congrats on the pillow win. Lucky girl!!!
Congrats on winning the pillow. They were all so beautiful. That best press is the BEST! I have been using it for quite a while and I love it, the wrinkle seem to fall right out. It smells good too. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you also. I love your quilt Cheryl. what pattern is that. It is calling my name. I have been using some finishing sprays for awhile and I love them. The results to your blocks are marvelous.
Hi Cheryl,
I love the quilt... I guess I am behind times, haven't heard about the spray but, I will look for some and give it a try. Congrats on your pillow win!!
