Nothing bought, 1/2 yard used. I’ve been concentrating on working on (and finishing up) some existing projects.
A couple of things going on elsewhere on my blog that you might be interested in:
I’m having a give-away this week (starts Sunday 4/26/2009) here.
I’m organizing a PhD program (Projects half Done) for people interested in digging out a long-forgotten project or one you just can’t get interested in again, check it out here.
Thanks for visiting!

SORRY, THE GIVE-AWAY IS OVER.
Although I’ve had my web site for three years or so, last week was my one-year anniversary blogging. And what a fun year it’s been! I’ve met some wonderful people on line, made some quilts through Judy Laquidara’s site with many of you, and have enjoyed your blogs as well. I’ve also enjoyed many, many e-mail comments sent by non-bloggers. A big THANK YOU to all of you!
Last week I also surpassed 40,000 “hits” on my site, which is amazing to me. I know some of them are robots and spammers, doing what they do, but that still leaves a lot of friendly hits. Thank you for making this fun for me!
It’s a DOUBLE GIVE-AWAY! (I feel like an infomercial — “wait, there’s more!”). And there IS more! I will reveal one item being given away each day starting today through next Sunday, May 3rd, for a total of eight surprises in each gift basket. Some surprises will be smaller, some will be larger.
Check back each day for you can enter in the drawing one time per day! (You can only win once — if the same name is drawn twice, I will move on and draw again so we have two winners.) The theme for this basket is Sue’s Favorite Things. In looking for items to include, I would wonder, gee, would people want that? What if they already have it? Then I decided, who cares? I’m buying MY favorite things to give away. Don’t we all do that when selecting a gift?
Here is today’s surprise: a package of fork pins. These are great for pinning those nesting intersections together; you get less distortion and shifting of the fabrics.
Leave me a comment telling a little bit about your first quilt and/or how you were introduced to quilting. I will accept comments left on this post before 2:00 a.m. CST, to accomodate the west coast. Subsequent days there will be a NEW POST on which to leave a comment for that day. Go to www.suehecker.com/blog and it will bring you to the current day’s post, not back to this post, on future days this week.
Good Luck!
Sue
PS: Although everyone has included their e-mail address to me so far, I should add a reminder here to enter your e-mail address where prompted so I have a means of contacting the lucky winners. Your e-mail is not visible on the comments, only to me when I log in.
SORRY, THE GIVE-AWAY IS OVER.
