I've finished the Frog Churn Dash quilt! Well, all but the last 2 feet of binding (don't hold it against me).

Have you purchased chances on raffle quilts before? I have purchased enough to buy a quilt, I think. Well, it finally paid off. I won!!!!!!!!
This raffle quilt was to raise funds for breast cancer survivors in the Peru, IL area, so that they could take yoga classes. The Ottawa quilt guild made the quilt.

It is so large that hubby couldn't hold it so that all of it showed. Each Ohio star represents a breast cancer survivor.
Here are the 2 labels on the back of the quilt (sorry they are washed out).

My mother, her sister and their niece (my cousin) are all breast cancer survivors.
I met up with the lady who called me, at Kohl's on Saturday.

My little quilt guild had it's Christmas party at my home on Monday. We did a mug & mug rug exchange. No one could spend more than $1 on a mug, and had to make a mug rug that matched the mug. I wish I had taken pictures of all the mugs and rugs. They were GREAT! Here is the mug & rug I made (29 cents for the mug, in Texas). The cross stitch was found in a thrift store about 2 years ago, and saved until I found the right project for it. When I saw the mug, I knew why I'd saved this cross stitch.

Here is the mug & rug I received. I love the tractors. The mug has a barn on the other side.

There were candy canes and hot drink mixes in the bag, along with snacks. Yum!
I'm headed to church, shortly, for a ladies night, where we have an ornament exchange. The rules are like a White Elephant exchange, so, lots of 'stealing' going on. Lots of fun and laughs (and good food, too).
Have a Great Weekend!
