I FINALLY won!!!!

How many times have you entered a competition and thought, "I never win"?  I used to say it all the time, but not anymore.  I FINALLY won something!  


For those of you familiar with Crafsy you may recall they recently had a giveaway for facebook fans.  I received an email a couple of weeks back saying I had won the giveaway.  The prize....a new Brother sewing machine complements of Craftsy!  I couldn't believe it!  I even called their offices in Denver to make sure it was legitimate and it was.  This little beauty arrive a week ago and I have been having a lot of fun with it.


It only seemed fitting to use my new machine from Craftsy to create my Craftsy Blocks of the Month.  This was my first attempt at dresden plates.  I think they turned out nicely.  The only real issue I had was stitching circles for the middle that weren't too wonky.  I look forward to making more dresden plates in the future.  If you haven't been to Craftsy lately, pop over there and check out their new classes, workshops and pattern. 

-Until Next Time

  6. Congratulations! I always wonder when I sew contests if someone actually gets the lovely prizes. I'm glad to hear that you did. The Dresden plates look wonderful. I like the way they look with the bright colored background.
