Introducing the Mary Engelbreit room I mentioned yesterday. I believe it is the best room of Madilyn's whole house. Yes,  it even tops her craft basement, and that is saying a lot. =) I might even go as far as to say it is the best room in the whole town of Marion. It is...Never mind...Lets just look at the pictures, shall we? =)

Would I sound greedy if I said I want it A.L.L? 

This table is her newest find....L.O.V.E.

This cupboard came from her mom's house. W.A.N.T!

She has pretty details everywhere...

This strawberry pie was my contribution to the gift exchange last year. I though it was hideous and it ended up being the coveted gift of the night. It was stolen several times before Madilyn got it. I must say, it does look perfectly darling in her room. =) 

Her twin sister gifted her with four chairs, all painted differently and in Mary Engelbreit style. I wish I had better pictures of them to show you. They are just D.A.R.L.I.N.G! 

My goal for her hostess gift for next year is something for her room. =) 

I hope you enjoyed the tour. =)

Last night we had our annual Christmas Tea for the ladies at our church that is held at our hostess with the mostess, Madilyn's home....And guess who forgot to bring the hostess her gift? Argh...I'll see her Sunday and will give it to her then.

Sorry for the quality, I only had my camera phone.

Every corner of her home is beautiful...

She has trees everywhere. 

This is one of several tables she has set up for us to sit to sip our tea and eat until we can't eat another bite of her goodies. We had so many ladies show up with year, she ran out of room. That is a good problem to have, I think. =) 

We sing carols, have a devotional and then the riotous game of gift grab bag goes into full swing. We laugh until we cry. It's so much fun. 

This was my contribution for this years gift exchange. 

And the prize I chose to walk away with, was this little lady. She is now residing at my hubby's work, along with all the other lab monkeys they have hanging around there. I love her!! lol!

Tomorrow, I will show you her Mary Engelbreit 3 seasons porch. I think it's the best room of the house.

This is one of my all time favorites. So out of the norm, color wise, than what I am usually drawn to. 

The backing was a Goodwill score from last year. Six yards for little to nothing. 

The one "mistake." Two triangles facing each other. 

This one is being gifted, but I can't say to who...Yet...

A young woman that I knew and loved, died a tragic death. Due to the nature of the situation, I am not comfortable with sharing the details on my blog. For the next few days I am going to go silent on my blog and from reading blogs out of respect for her....

I'll be back Monday.

I won a giveaway recently from Chosen Sisters.  

Could this be more perfect?

I don't think so!!

Yes, I jumped up and down and squealed.=) 

Thank you Capi and Deb. I will cherish it always!

Lovely

Lovely packaging...

Lovely stack....

Lovely fabric...

It all needs to be set aside for now. I have Christmas sewing to do first. =) I decided I really didn't like the quilt I made for my dad, so I am starting all over with a new pattern and new fabric. It will be much better. Pictures of it after Christmas. =)

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I am trying Bloglovin' as my reader. If I have it figured out correctly, I will get an email when you all update your blogs. And that would be spectacular! First I need to "claim my blog" and i need to write a new post and do something code thingy to do that, thus, I am writing this silly little post to do that. =) 

I can't wait to show you my triangle quilt! I have it all finished...Tomorrow, maybe. =) 

Random picture of the day these two boys became my sons. Look how young they are! Wow....

 The colors make me happy....

The points are far from perfect in some places, but it really doesn't matter. =) So all my newbie quilters, don't worry about perfect points. Do the best you can and keep on going. You learn with every quilt. My next one will be better. 

See? When looking at the big picture, you don't see the less than perfect points. =) 

I have  a plan for this quilt, but I have to keep it a secret for now. Shhhhhhh....
