Oh That Friday Feeling!

*** Warning***
***This post contains excessive exclamation marks***

I have had a great start and end to Friday; the middle bit we'll just skip over if that's OK!

Cryptic emails from Lynne and Ceri first thing this morning lead me here.   I can't believe it!!!

So I had to tell my twinnie Sarah, then Ella and I swapped congratulatory messages too - 4 out of the 8 Quokka Quilt/Fat Quarter Shop Blogger's Choice finalists are Mouthy Stitchers!!!!

I am so proud to be in such amazing company, and the odds are I will know one of the 3 winners.  I am trying not to think about it now, but obviously failing dismally; I don't know when the winners will be announced so this is a cruel, but exciting wait!


Work mornings don't usually start better than that!

And now I have finally finished quilting the Constellation and made the binding!!


I have to trim off the excess batting and straighten up the edges, those long, long edges, and get this baby bound this weekend - and that makes me so happy too.


So if my pretty dismal week can be turned around by material things, then so be it - Happy Weekend everyone.

PS. Mouthy Stitchers, I think I have my group almost matched xxx
