no wasting the scraps and other stuff

That L'amour is so sweet and I had enough scraps left for a small table topper or a place mat for my sweetie!
It's about 12" by 16" and I feel better about not wasting scraps.
 
And now some thank yous are in order.
I commented on Kati Cupcake's blog when she wanted feedback on a new pattern "My Favorite Bag" and won a copy of the pattern!

 
Isn't it cute?  I can't wait to make it!
A drawing was held by Monica from Happy Zombie and I won a Swanky turnover and she threw in seven very cute pink and green slices of a layer cake:

 
Thanks again Monica!
And last weekend I participated in a virtual "Sew In" for the Seasons BOM group organized by Sandi of  A Legacy of Stitches  and hit the jackpot.  It was a secret "Little Pink Bag" until it arrived and look at all of the loot!

 
There is a Holly Taylor panel, a cupcake cookbook, a Schnibbles pattern, a rotary cutter case, a piece of vintage kitchen fabric and MORE!  Wow, how nice is that of Sandi?  Thank you again Sandi.

I had better get sewing.

Adore your little table topper. I agree with Stephanie, you must be having a lucky streak, a lottery ticket may just be the true jackpot.

Your little mini quilt is gorgeous. It's always fun to find a way to use lovely little scraps, isn't it?

You are one lucky gal! Wow! Congratulations on all that wonderful "loot!"

I used the layer cake slices instead of packing peanuts/ghost terds (which are so hard to sew with!). Have a happy sew-in, Mary!
