Waikerie sew in day and my raffle win

 We had a great day sitting, sewing, shopping, listening and learning. Then going through all the raffle prizes. Yes, there were 120 of them…..

So many times the number called was either side of my ticket.

Some people on our table won a few prizes. Colleen got drawn, collected her prize then she was drawn again. She kindly said I could claim the prize as I hadn’t won anything yet and it was my birthday coming up. She is so kind.


Colleen also bought me some sashiko thread for my present.

Then we got to nearly the end and everyone was just wanting it to finish. My number was drawn for 2nd prize. Wow what a gift. Here is what I got.

An A4 light box, a table runner pattern, a $25.00 gift voucher for a local store (so I have to go back for a visit)

And a beautiful little quilt.

This quilt will now be a gift for a work colleague who has recently had a premie baby girl. Even though itis blue the butterflies are suited for a little girl.

Light box- that's a great prize, and how kind of your friend to donate her extra prize to you. That's a lovely blue butterfly baby quilt.

Great prizes there. I have that jelly roll here. The ultra flat light box will be very handy and the quilt is gorgeous. Fancy your friend gifting you Sashiko thread. Something that you will never use. LOL
