I WON Karol-Ann's Giveaway!

Karol Ann had a giveaway for her box of African fabric scraps and I was one of the two lucky winners. I was so excited to see this package in the mail. I've never gotten ROYAL mail before!! Isn't this beautiful? I love it. I am still thinking of what to do with it. It will be used together in something. What? Maybe a crumb quilt?
This is the card she sent. It has a painting on it. I thought it looked like a child's painting but I thought - what if it is something Karol Ann did? I wouldn't want to assume it was from a child. I had seen a picture of one of her paintings and it is FANTASTIC but I still didn't know for sure. So I thanked her for the original artwork and she told me that it WAS her sons!! LOL. Sorry, Karol Ann. You are very talented and I am very ignorant.
Here is my daughter, Joy. She got her braces off last week!! She has such a beautiful smile now! I just had to show it off since I paid so dearly for it. :-D
I wanted to include this September block from my Sunbonnet Sue quilt. Isn't she cute? And it is my birthday month! Monday is my birthday and I can't wait!! I will be only 43!! Getting younger every day. Take care,
Julie

congratulations on winning the goodies. They will make something pretty and colorful. Happy early Birthday. I don't get to say that very often, usually I'm running behind. The Sunbonnet Sue block is adorable, and so appropriate.
