Cooler, A win, and something new

Hi everyone. It is a lot cooler here now, but not cold by any means. The energy levels are better.  I really want to get started to something new ( well, I have done) My suggestion of Safe Harbour as a name for Kaaren's lovely quilt has won me a copy of her pattern.
 Follow the link to The Painted Quilt.  I cant wait to have it in my hands and start choosing fabric for it.  In the meantime,

 I have started to the redwork for her FFF Happy Scrappy Easter.  I never did redwork before, and am enjoying it so much.  In fact I could become addicted, and therefore more skilled as I work. I really want to do Kaaren's patterns justice, as they are so beautiful, and she is so skilled herself.
