a giveaway squishie!

one of the blogs i follow is nancy's and recently she was having a give-away; lucky me, my name was drawn!  i got this adorable little chicken pincushion, volume 2 of 100 blocks and some other little patterns i had not seen before.  all of this arrived on a fabulous friday after 3 weeks of work AND on friday night sew-in day too!  i love these little chickens and always wanted to make them; perhaps i will now.  **** as for FNSI, i finished sewing down the binding on my little dresden plates quilt.  now for a label and a quick dunk in cold water to remove the quilting lines and voila!  another finish! watch tomorrow for a photo.  ***** and what is so delish as a day off in spring when winter has been nearly nonexistent?
