Quiet Time and a Surprise

Some of you have noticed that I have been a bit quiet.  That means that I am either really busy OR working on something that doesn't show a lot of progress.  Or in this case, not having time to make any progress.  I have been very busy with work and with caregiving for Mom.  I also wrote some copy for a friend who is working on a brochure to promote her work.


One evening this past week while I was chilling out in front of the computer, I looked at my blog referrals and saw a link from Riley Blake Designs.  My curiousity was piqued, so I clicked the link back to see how that happened. I saw where I had posted a comment.  I also had posted on my blog about the contest (which I did not win-I forgot to check on that too.) 


Imagine my surprise when I saw that below my comment was a comment from Cindy at Riley Blake asking all the above (first 20) commenters to send in a mailing address for a prize.   Thinking, well it may be too late, but no harm trying,  I emailed them.   Good thing too, look at this lovely rolie polie (2.5" strips of fabric) that came in a lovely squishy envelope.

The fabric is Fox Trails by Doohickey Designs I love the little animals on it.  What really surprised me was the post on Doohickey Designs dated September 9th.  She had just gotten her first rolie polie of Fox Trails.  I got it less than a week after the designer!!! I think this is a first for me. I don't usually get fabric that has just been released. Now to decide what to make with this sweet little roll of goodness.
I just had to open it up a bit to show you the cute animals.

Isn't the little fox adorable?
