Look what the postman brought me –the book which everyone is talking about in blog land. I’ve just received my very own copy of Crafted Applique, by Lara Buccella. I entered a competition on Cynthia’s blog called “Quilting is more Fun than Housework”, what a great name. I was so thrilled when Cynthia got in touch to tell me that I had won a copy of this book.
Delivered by the postman
I’m all set to relax on my Lazy Boy (recliner) chair, with a coffee close to hand, and start reading my new book. It certainly arrived at a very opportune time, as I’ve just returned home from an overnight stay in hospital after my second breast cancer surgery. A review of my scan showed another small area of concern, and the surgeon advised another small op, just to be sure. Can’t complain about my medical care, and I’m just so pleased that the team is so vigilant.
So what better way for some R&R than to sit and read an exciting new book, or even, just relax and doze off for a while. Here’s me on my return home, hospital bracelet still firmly attached, and my neck and chest slathered in bright pink antiseptic paint.
Happy to be home again, pink neck and all

Aha, you have the real deal there, and a great time to get goodies in the post. Rest up, and remember, the NEW PINK is so fashionable. Robin, keep that yummy food on the menu, and hope recovery goes well. Hugs from here.XXX
What a wonderful distraction. I've been reading all about this book on Blogland but no one has revealed the new technique, I hope you do!
Lucky you for getting such a great gift! Enjoy the R&R reading it.
Wishing you a speedy recovery Jenny and enjoy your new book. Look forward to seeing what you make out of it....
Enjoy your R&R and maybe a zzz or 2! Haven't heard of this book but will look it up. Take care Jenny, we are lucky for vigilant doctors xxx
The surgery is no fun, but winning the book is! Hope you are feeling well. :-)
What a nice surprise at the perfect time. Enjoy browsing and possibly doing a little appliqué.
