Exciting news!

I DID say I was going to post tonight and I AM just scraping it in, at 11.30pm but…….

I did want to share some good news……

not only did I finish this beauty in the Aiming for Accuracy aka A4A Quilt-a-long hosted by the marvellous, very talented and lovely Michele Foster over at the Quilting Gallery

and got it all sandwiched, pinned up (with some very appreciated helping hands from some of our Guild ladies!)  and ready to quilt……

I also won a major prize in the final draw!!!!! Wheeeeeeeeee!
