Treacle and I never win anything, she came second and third in the Carnival Dog Show this year!  However in the See You In September Blog Hop I won one of the Giveaways from Pat at Life in the Scrapatch (http://scrapatches.blogspot.co.uk)!  Last week I received the above parcel and inside was the wonderful pattern for Pat’s Maple Leaf Mug Rugs and two mug rugs.

Thank you Pat for choosing me as a winner.

Treacle and I also won a prize on the Pets on Quilts Show at Lily Pad Quilting (http://lilypadquilting.blogspot.co.uk) and this is what we won!  I love the colours and want to thank Michelle at Hoffman Fabrics (http://www.hoffmanfabrics.com) for being one of the lovely sponsors.

Now you would think that I would be rushing off to use the new fabric or make some Maple Leaf Mug Rugs but no this is my next project with this lovely fabric.  

I have had it for a while and I now have a another baby quilt to make for a couple who don’t know what they are having, so I thought this would be great for a boy or a girl.  

I especially think that this little tyke looks exactly like Treacle, although he is sitting up straight unlike Treacle!

I am hoping to get this cut out on Saturday and start making the blocks.  DH and Youngest are at a swimming gala on Saturday so Treacle and I will have the house to ourselves and no phones ringing! 

Today should have been house day but I caught up with work so I am going to try and get everything done as soon as I have taken Youngest to school tomorrow morning.  At lunch I am going to a Coffee Morning being held in the village in aid of MacMillian Nurses, then grocery shopping so that should take up the whole day before I fetch Youngest from school!

Hope you are all having a thrilling Thursday.

Hugs, Susie x
