Lucky, lucky me!

I don't deserve it I know but I will be putting it to excellent use I can promise you that!


What ?  You ask!


My win from the lovely Lynne @ Lily's Quilts and Signor Aurifil, Alex Veronelli


Yes I won a gorgeous box full of Aurifil thread, not just any box but 'Mark Lipinski's Ultimate Collection of 48 spools of thread all contained in one large double sided suitcase.' 




And just yesterday I was wishing I had a bit more Aurifil to play around with ....










Some days wishes do come true...








PS If you think this seems very calm I am still floating up in the troposphere and just haven't come down yet - it's all right I'm wearing trousers and one of the biggest grins ever!
