Oh my stars and garters!!! I am thrilled to have won. I cannot wait to see all your hearts. I love that old saying!! You girls really know how to make one feel welcome. Thanks again.

I'll get started on it today while it's too hot and sunny for me to work out in the yard. It really doesn't look that time consuming and I think I'll be able to get it done quickly. How is everyone else coming along with this one? Cathy

Hi, Cathy, I am also sending in some entries to this lotto. Sorry - thought I had written before. I will try to send three. Since I am mailing from Nova Scotia, I feel I should make it worthwhile LOL. I finished the first one tonight - my first paper piecing!! And it turned out okay though it did take a long time. I will get the other two done and in the mail to you by May 20th. This is "the long week-end" in Canada - the Monday on or before May 24th is a holiday to commemorate the Queen's birthday. In Nova Scotia everyone heads to the cottage to "open her up". Lately this has become known as the May 2-4 week-end - LOL. With company and all I don't get much sewing done. Thanks for hosting this lotto and for giving me a reason to try paper piecing. goldie

Cathy, I will be mailing my 3 blocks today. I still find paper piecing a challenge. I don't know how many times I was ripping and restitching. It is probably just me. The angles and being backwards just messes me up. Oh, well, the results are worth it and I guess I just need more practice. Thanks, Nancy (Stitches)
