Quilt Blocks, Road Side Art Draws Attention, a Gift, and Potholders - that's a lot in a week

It was a big week for us here in the sticks.

On May 1st, my block designs were released for the

In Our Garden BOM.

If you are looking for the patterns

HERE is the link to the page.

This week my hubby was interviewed for the local newspaper about his metal art out here in the sticks and he made the front page.

Roadside art draws attention

My mailbox brought a huge gift this week.

I won a giveaway from Thermoweb for National Craft month

and

I couldn't wait to use it.

LOOK!!!  It's a 

OLISO® PRO™ TG1600 SMART IRON

This iron is as wonderful as I thought it would be.

Thank you, Thermoweb and Oliso!!!!!

My focus is now on Mother's day so I'm making some potholders.

I used the patterns for the BOM and shrunk them down a little to make them 8 1/2".

If you missed it, the free pattern links for the blocks are on this POST.
