Country Charmer Update


It's time for the monthly update for the Country Charmer QAL.  A wonderful pattern by Lynne of Sew'n Wild Oaks  hosted by the lovely Lesley of The Cuddle Quilter.



I added two more 'red' blocks (red corner stones) so I have five now.  I have figured I have four primary colors so if I make 5 of each I should have a nice balance thru my 20 blocks.



And two more 'blue' blocks to go with the three done.  I only need four more blocks to finish up in June - two green and two brown.  Then I can lay them out to audition sashing fabrics.

I will be linking up with Lesley


I need to announce the winners of my last week of May for Me Give Away



USA winners:

KutieQuilter - 1st choice 'Duck,Duck,Goose'
QuiltSmiles - 1st choice 'PB&J'

International winners:

Shez - 1st choice 'Collection for a Cause'
Joanne - who said she would be happy with any so I am sending her
            the 'Avalon/Happy Go Lucky' mix pack

I will be sending all the winners seperate e-mail to get their snail mail info.

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon
