I received this gorgeous mini from Laurie (locodowo) in a swap on Flickr - the Quilt Swap Boot Camp. It was a swap I ran for new swappers - it was a small group but I think a good time was had by all!

Here is the quilt that I sent to my partner -




Have a pieceful day!

Pincushion Swap

Pincushion from Midland Design
Originally uploaded by piecefulchaos

I participated in a couple of pincushion swaps this summer on Flickr. This is the pincushion I recently received from Midland Design - isn't it adorable? I just love it! I collect pincushions and love all different kinds but animal/whimsical types are my favorite. Now I just need a good place to display all of them!

Oh, and I am trying something new -the Blog This feature on Flickr. I've been neglecting my blog since I really got addicted to Flickr so if this works and maybe I can blog from Flickr I will have no excuse!

My son got engaged!

Here's a picture of the happy couple right after it happened!



We just couldn't be happier! She is a wonderful girl - they've been dating 6 years since high school so we feel like she is already part of the family. To top it off, my son got a job offer this week as well (he just graduated college) so there was lots to celebrate this week!

Have a pieceful day!
