Lovely Day!!!

WOW talk about a SUPER SPRING like day here in Winnipeg - I've even opened the window for some fresh air in my apartment.  Wonder how long it will last or if Mother Nature still has some snow/winter for us Manitoban's before long?  Anyways it is awesome and as soon as I have my lunch I'm going for a walk to the Forks for a visit and then back to continue stitching.

This morning was our Guild quilting meeting and I had various items to drop off for a friend, my sister and myself and also pick up info for the Quilt Reflections quilt show coming up April 9th to 11th here in Winnipeg.  During this meeting I was working on my tatted dragonflies and had many compliments on the process and I think interest in my fabric postcards that will feature some of my tatting that will be in the Boutique too. 

Then to my SURPRISE I received a package from a fellow quilter that I admire her stitched projects and creativity whenever showcased.  Well she brought me in a vest that she had made but does not want anymore and THOUGHT I could use it for my projects - like cut it up!  Now I didn't have a very good look at it except that I saw olive green fabric so thought HMMMMM but then out of the bag came this book and WELL that for sure is a keeper as I don't have this one, but have borrowed it from the Libraries many times.  So a very heartwarming hug was given and hopefully I was not too rough on tiny Pat L, but I truly appreciated your generosity and for thinking of me.

Now since getting home I pulled out the vest and lo and behold it fits me and I will not be cutting it up - might even be showcasing it at the Quilt Show, you never know!  I like it very much.  Just lovely and definitely wearable.
