My Sunbonnet Sues and me!! I about fell off my chair, and my jaw dropped. In my little mind I was telling myself not to feel disappointed when I wasn't chosen for any of the prizes and just be glad to have entered and have had the chance to make the quilt. 
Lo and Behold, I was awarded $25.00 in cash---WAHOO!!! There were some amazing quilts,bags, and wall hangings, so I never dreamed...anyway, thank you judge lady, you made my whole day!! 
One of the lady's in our group made these little bags for each one of us. They are made with insul-bright, so we can carry a warm iron home, I guess. They came with some spray for ironing, a fat quarter, and 
this cute mini iron!! I can't wait to iron a seam with it!! It was a great night. I forgot to take a picture of my white elephant present--but it was a TRUE white elephant gift. I will have to show it on a later post. It will make you laugh!!

Today is our sweet Savanna's 13th birthday. She is an amazing girlie!! She is talented in so many things--friend making, music, school, poetry, insight, sense of humor, etc. Tonight I told her she is just good at everything. She corrected me and told me a few things she needs to work on--what a gal!! She has brought so much joy to us the past 13 years!! We brought her home from the hospital on Dec. 24, 1995, in a Christmas stocking. We put that stocking out every year. What a priceless gift that year!!!! Love you, VANNA VOO!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Be nice to people,
Julie

Well I am just not the least bit surprised about that quilt winning! Its just darling. I'm so happy for you. What did you spend your winnings on? More lovely fabric? Do tell!
Lucky me found a little stitchery kit with all printed sunbonnet sue blocks in it! I don't know if I'll make the whole quilt ~ I sort want to do a collection of little quilts for my hall so I might just use 4 blocks that coordinate to the seasons. BUT I am so excited about it. Thanks for the inspiration!
Happy birthday, Savanna! I love that photo and her smile.
Wishing you a New year filled with happiness,
Lea
