All kinds of things are going on here at Fluffy Sheep Quilting, so this is going to be a pretty random post. I do not know how to structure this post so it makes sense, so I will just dive in.
Newsflash 1:
I won tickets to the Knitting and Stitching show in Dublin in mid-November! Sarah (of Fairyface Designs) and Fi (of PatchworkDelights) host a flickr group called Sew Irish. They were giving away tickets to folks interested in heading to the Dublin show so I gave it a shot. Woo hoo! I am super excited! Thank you, Sarah and Fi! I am really looking forward to seeing you both there.

Did you know our little Free Motion Friday practice-a-long was featured on Craft Gossip? I am completely delighted and hope lots of new folks join in with us. Much to my horror, though, Craft Gossip posted photos of my pre-pre-beginner quality FMQ attempts. You can see the article here and have a good laugh at me. At least the new folks joining us will not have to worry we are too advanced (hee hee!).Newsflash 3:
I have finished two October blocks for Judith's Bee Blessed at Rags to Bags. She asked for a disappearing nine patch. This was a first for me, but I am pretty happy with how they turned out. I hope she is too :) This month she's making family quilts for homes in Belfast, so hopefully these colors will work with what she has in mind. There's a blue-themed one, but the sun went down before I could get a photo. Bummer.
Newsflash 4:
My fabric arrived for Susan's Modern Christmas Tablerunner Swap. It was a personal delivery by my folks when they came to visit this past weekend from the US! Partner, if you're reading this I know its not all to your taste. Don't worry! It's not all for you :) I now have a partner, a possible design and fabric. I just have to start cutting and stitching!
I think that's finally it for mini news bites. Thanks for hanging in there with me. Tomorrow will be our second to last guest post in the Start Your Own series. Come on back and check it out!

I saw that the other day. Congrats! It's kind of nice seeing someone keep it real instead of a "oh its my first try and its Martha Stewart perfect" I like the learning together approach.
I plan on joining along once I can forgive my machine for being a jack ass ;)

As you know, I'm a total proponent of "really random." Well done. You had a lot of fun and interesting things in this post!
Cindy,
I love your idea of the FMQ support group. Is it too late to join? I have some of Leah Day's materials, but have not had that little push you were talking about.
