Hi Ho Silver Away!
MY AWARD
I was presented this!!
Quilt Blogger

It's looking beautiful!!! I love sunflowers and your portrayal is breathtaking! Very nice to see your work in progress, can't wait to see the finished product:)
Brilliant, Desiree. Fabulous light and intensity of colour. Gorgeous.
Looking very good. Fascinating to watch them come alive!
Wow... this will be an exquisite piece !
Love it
Desiree, the Sunflower is just amazing WIP. I will definitely come back. The twin are super cute. I know how at times you feel confused of hat switching as I am a mother to a young baby too. But I do think that God lets us have opportunity to do so many great things... but they often come along at the same time. I would just do the best I can and take it day by day myself.
This is coming our gorgeous!!! I am presently in Venice and I pick a blog every few days to check on what is going on back there. Glad I picked yours! I have posted a bit from Venice. Come check my blog.
