Diane at DEsigned art quilts by Diane Evans has bestowed this award on me.
The rules are as follows:
Thank the person who gave you this award
Share 7 things about yourself
Pass the award along to 5 bloggers who you have recently discovered and you think are fantastic
Contact the bloggers you have chosen and let them know about the award

So I will begin by sending my thanks to Diane for believing that I am a Beautiful Blogger.
share 7 things? .............well..............lets see

1) I have 2 grown sons

2) I think Black and White are colours

3) I have 4 pet rats









4) My bicycle is built for 2









5) My favourite season is summer

6) I have a twin brother.......his name is Jack........oh.. and......we don't do ruffles anymore!













7) I think home perm kits should be banned













Now, as for passing this on to 5 beautiful bloggers?.......well that is a little tougher.
I am aware that there are a few of you who would rather not be "tagged" but I do think everyone who visits deserves the award, so if you'd like to play along then grab the award.
It is yours! Have some fun with it
Just to let me know so that I can be sure to come by and learn 7 things about you.

My First Blog Award!

Molly Fryer at Molly's Place has bestowed this award on me.
It is the "Its a Major" award. This award goes to anyone who
likes to smile and or laugh and just generally spreads that along in this blogging community in which we all travel.
The quilt I am making for my sister is a design created by Molly. I took a few liberties with it but it was the perfect foundation for this quilt which I am happy to report is finished and ready to be given to my sister. The label is on and the quilt has been washed and dried so that it has that wonderful crinkly look and that fabulous soft feel. More about the this quilt's significance can be found here or click on Rose on my sidebar to read all the posts about this quilt.



So Thank you Molly, not only for the award but for creating such a wonderful quilt pattern and sharing it with us all.


Now I think I should pass this award on as well.
So to Kathy of Kathy's Quilt's...........I really enjoy your blog, you are a busy, busy gal who always makes me smile.
and to the Comic Book Lady at Quilt as Desired who shares my enthusiasm for art quilting and is a constant source of encouragement.
To Jaye at ArtQuiltmaker for her creative prompts. Jaye has made me realize that I have a wealth of original designs just waiting to emerge.

I am really not quite sure what the rules are for passing along awards of this type but I think I'll stop here even though there are so many more bloggers out there who keep me focused, encouraged and entertained as well.
