Another Pink Project & a Thank You

 I haven't been remiss about this Thank You. I was just waiting for the right time. So here goes:

A sincere and belated thank you to Emily Baily from AuntEmsQuilts.com . She had posted about her Lotus Flower quilt being selected to be shown in Quick & Easy Quilts magazine and we could get a chance to win a copy of the magazine. All we had to do was post a comment. I won! And here's the block I made from the magazine.

Lovely pinks! When I saw the pattern I had a pretty good feeling that it would make for a really pretty RSC quilt. The magazine was Quick & Easy Quilts Dec/Jan issue. You can probably still find it on magazine shelves. It looks like this:

There are several other quilts in here that caught my eye, including this one called Wintertide Wreath.

Catherine Redford also has a project in here for placemats & a table runner. Hint, hint: Joy's Table Topper Challenge! Catherine is from the Chicago area and visited my guild to teach embroidery. She also teaches a class about walking foot quilting which I think I'd love to take one day. In the meantime, she's sharing some of those tips in this magazine too. Super happy about winning this one! Thank you, Em!

I also have a sweet little finish to share. I've been participating in the Primitive Gatherings Fall Open House for several years and there's always a free little pincushion pattern. There's a free kit too if your order qualifies which is not a problem for me since their wool & patterns are probably the nicest ever.

Most of the pincushions have the date stitched on them so I added the date to New Beginning also. The flowers are the palest of pinks so I figured it qualified to be shown on RSC too! *wink*

Linking on SoScrappy with all the Rainbow Scrap Challenge participants. So many fun projects over there being shared!
