Today's giveaway brought to you by the letter P

WOOHOOO! 100 FOLLOWERS!!! hank you so much for all the love for the Jewelled Stars quilt (aka the Black Peril) and all the other works and WIPS and posts. It's just hit 37C/100F here so not great quilt weather - I turned the aircon on last night so I could sleep under my new finish! But I really appreciate all the comments, suggestions, support and friendship that have developed across the world through this blog. So I think that means it's time for a giveaway!

But first, I'm going to be cheeky and ask, if you have a spare minute, could you drop over to the Quilting Gallery and drop in a vote for my Jewelled Stars before the end of the weekend? :)

Back to the important business - today's giveaway is brought to you by Patches, the highly expensive Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

Patches with plastic head cone and red cast

Poor puppy. Emergency vet run after I discovered Patches had gnawed into his back paw. We get these nasty ultra-sharp grass seeds, up to an inch long, that cause animals all kinds of grief, but I couldn't find anything in his foot and he hadn't been limping. The vet thought it likely it had gone straight in and embedded itself deep. With a heart condition, general anaesthetic is tantamout to a death sentence so I was freaking out a bit (ok a lot, he is my baby). I was NOT ready to cope with a one way trip to the vet. But they managed to operate under local anaesthetic so he is back with a plastic bucket on his head and a red cast. Lucky he's an autumn colours dog. Or someone at the vet's has good colour sense.

If you don't know about the internet phenomena of FML and you're easily offended, don't look it up. But it was totally a FML morning. So I turned it into a FMQML morning - Free-motion Quilt My Life. I really want this on a t-shirt.

To keep my mind off my boy having his paw cut open under local anaesthetic (brave pup - mind you, if he was a little less brave he would made a fuss when he stood on the seed and I could have got it out before he walked it in), I chopped up solids, getting ready for my FMQ-along.
Don't they look pretty?

Chopping up two 6.5" squares was no harder than chopping up one, so I made two sets. What shall I do with the spare?

Well, I think I'll let one of you take it off my hands. You don't have to be joining the FMQAL - I'm sure there are plenty of other things you could do with these.

1) This one is for the followers, so just leave a comment letting me know you follow.
2) If you have my FMQ button on your blog, bonus entry. Just leave me a comment with your blog address.


  I will draw it next weekend so you have a whole week. :)

Thanks for helping me celebrate my Centenary! Champagne and hugs all round!
Oh, also my good friend Erin over at Missy Mac Creations is having a giveaway too. (But don't bother entering cos I'm going to win that one). ;)
