400th Post! and a Give Away!

I am on vacation this week.  (Insert the happy dance here!)  I get to sleep in, not that I really have since my internal alarm clock continues to go off at 4 am.  The difference is that I can look at the clock, my brain tells me vacation, and I can turn over and go back to sleep. 

Many people have been lamenting the fact that blogger turns on the captch and you have to either try to decipher their letters and numbers, or for some just check the box which says "I am not a robot".  Did anyone notice on April 1st what happened when you checked that box?  I thought it was just too cute and found an example.  It will surely bring a smile to your face.

April 1st Captcha

I was going to write a post on Sunday night, but I spent most of that night cleaning up after the family dinner.  I was going to write a post on Monday night, but most of my day was putting things back into the 'Colette' sewing order, and DH and I needed to have a discussion and break down some incidents regarding Sunday dinner. 

I didn't have much to show for accomplishments for Monday.

I finished my bag lady block for quilt guild. 

I finished the letter 'O' for my words of Wisdom redwork quilt. 

Tuesday I actually slept in and started  to get some things accomplished once I crawled out of bed.

I finished up the kite shaped centerpiece that I was making for my daughter and her SO, since he prides himself on being Irish.  This was originally going to be given to them for St. Patrick's Day, but then the flu hit. 

I found this Batik on sale and fell in love and ordered a couple of yards.  It kind of reminded me of Easter and spring, and so I thought it would be a great back.

I started working on my letter 'P' for my Redwork Wisdom.

Unpicked my quilting where my machine was skipping, but can't seem to get the machine to catch the bobbin thread, so the frame needs some adjusting and I will need DH to help me with that one. 

I finally decided on a new project to break up the monotony and started selecting fabrics, 

and did a little bit of cutting.

DH makes fun of me because when I have days off I hardly ever leave the house.  Monday and Tuesday were not much different.  I do know I have a run to the Post Office to do, and a run to an office store because I have a pattern that I need to have blown up 400% unless I figure out how to do it on my printer, which I haven't been able to do so far. 

Now for the fun and games.  I am going to give the lucky winner a choice.  I just received the Lori Holt of Bee In My Bonnet Blog- Farm Girl Vintage quilt book, there are lots of patterns that look like tons of fun. I am keeping mine but the winner will have a choice.

1.  Farm Girl Vintage Quilt Book

2.  $30  Gift Certificate to The Fat Quarter Shop. 

Just leave a comment by 12:01 am EST Sunday, April 12, 2015 and I will randomly choose a winner.  Tell me which prize you would choose and why. 

Good luck everyone.
