Hello all - feeling quilt a lot better today, so let's hope it stays that way!
I have decided I would like to do the Give-away for my 100th Post (now 105) before I go on holiday, even though it is only a fairly short one. The gift will be the Cathedral Window Bag that I made a little while ago.
It has been so lovely being in touch with so many new folk since the start of blogging in April - also, catching up with "old" (not in years) friends. We do have so much fun and it has been wonderful being part of Quiltville Chat and having a renewed interest in Scquilters. I must say that I do less sewing these days, though, but all that will keep.
The bag is approximately 11" high by 10" wide and is fully lined and I have made little pockets inside for car keys, lippie and mobile phone. A lot of friends here in Perth have followed suit and tote their bags everywhere. Me, I sling around faithful larger leather bags, which I must admit get very untidy at times, as Julia will tell you.
I will close off for those who would like to participate early next Monday morning 25 August. Hopefully, I will be able to email the lucky person and to get your address and post the bag to you before I fly out on Friday morning.
Please let your friends know - especially Quiltville Chatters and Scquilters and I'm happy to make new friends, too. It has been just wonderful keeping in touch with you all and we all inspire each other, I am sure. Wow, just look at my recent cute little pincushion I made. Dear Daughter, Danielle, has claimed that already!
Must get ready to pop up and see Mum in hospital to see how things are going there.
Good luck and best wishes!

Hi Lurline,
What a lovely bag, please put me in the draw.
Well done on reaching 105. I'm sorry to hear that you've not been feeling quite the ticket. It's hard when you finally have to accept that your parents are no longer able to look after themselves properly. What a pretty bag - I'd love to win it, if you can still bear to part with it.
What a lovely blog Lurline. I see you're a good friend of Julia. I regularly visit her blog and I'll now be a regular to yours.
That is a gorgeous bag you're offering and such beautiful colours.
Do hope your Mother recovers soon.
I forgot to say congratulations on reaching your 100th post and do have a lovely holiday.

Such a beautiful bag, and the colors OMG...I love them. I hope things are well with "Mum" it must feel horrible having to put your mum into a nursing home, my mum is 81 and although she's still ok things do get hard for her now a days, and has talked of selling up and moving to a smaller place, but this is home and will always be home for us..take care and chin up
I also have been having a blast with quiltchat and all new friends in blog land. Please enter my name into the drawing.

Hi Lurline, I found your blog through Em's Scrapbag. I've read several of your posts - hated to hear about your Mum. I lost my mother 4 years ago and those last few years are so precious. Even though she won't be in her own home you still will have precious memories of time spent with her in her new one. Blessings, marlene
Ok love the bag, I tried to do the Cathedral Windows and got frustrated you did a fantastic job!!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your mom, we have been down that road and it tugs at your heart all the time, even though you know it is something that has to be done..so big hugs to you!!!
Praying for your mum and family.
You are an inspiration. I started the Civil War blocks because I loved the idea of bright muteds with Civil War prints (thanks). SO fun!
Congratutions on 100 posts.

Congratulations! Your bag is beautiful! I once tried the Cathedral pattern, but... well... Guess I didn't have the patience or know how as my mini Cathedral potholder fell apart in the wash! LOL Live and learn :)
Hoping to see more and more of your blogs and Hoping and praying you are feeling quilt a bit better all the time :)
