I won, I won, I won!

This book I WON is absolutely luscious, from PatsyThompsonDesigns.com!! The colors are out of this world - even brighter than the DVDs! And I can slobber over it while I'm reading in bed, as opposed to watching her DVDs where I have to actually be somewhat upright!
I love that the pages are glossy and the print and drawings are easy to read (since I need to do the cataract thing soon!).
Am I lucky or am I lucky! I LOVE learning machine quilting from Patsy (and camera-guy Ernie)!

Since I have ALL of her DVDs, there is some duplicate material, but the photography is MORE than excellent and just demands a person sit down and try these designs. It's definitely eye candy.

This project (below)is not finished but I like to just look at it. Dh was peeking, daring me to take his photo, so I did! He almost suffered injury when I realized he still had a cigarette in his hand - yikes! I have more work, but quilters, I'm liking it! As always, I'll force myself to post it when finished.

    DH looks like the 'Kilroy was Here' that I used to doodle in high school.

    I saw your name on the winners list, you lucky duck! The quilt looks beautiful but I'd be worried about that cigarette!

    I really like the quilting pattern you used on the quilt and yesterday I replayed the one and only Patsy Thompson DVD that I have and did a couple practice quilt sandwiches. I'm thinking about using that pattern on a twin size quilt for my GD. If I do, it will be the largest quilt that I have quilted on my DMS.
