"REVEAL"

Remember the wool flowers and that stack of prairie points I made. This is what I made.Piece O' Cake put out a challenge several months ago to use a free applique block in a project.  My project has the block repeated four times.  I made this table topper to put on this table in the spring time.  I sent a picture to them and they picked the winners and I was one of them.  Click on the link to see all the entries and the other winners.  There were a lot of entries and they are all so great.   The prize is to have my project pictured in their next book.  Isn't that cool?!!  Now I have to get it sent off to them so that can happen.  I will get the project back, if any one was wondering.

With Passion, Carrie P.
