I have been MIA for quite some time. I have things going on with me that has made it hard for me to get much accomplished. Right now I am just so excited that I have been motivated to do a single thing!! Last week I saw this free pattern from Tula Pink called "Pineapple Slice" and I just had to try it. I am going to link this up to Amanda  HERE   for Finish it up Friday! My goal was just to finish the table-topper top but I have it FMQ'ed too and almost done with the binding! Whoopieeee!! I think this might end up being a Christmas present so that makes it even better that my slump is sort of broken! ;) Bonus today! In the mail I received a package of these little wonders that I won from www.Pinmoor.com on FB last month. Can't wait to try them out.
