An inaugural post and a fugly party

So I am joining in with the Fugly Party being organised by Lucy over at Charm About You. Last time this party lead to me not only winning some not so fugly fabric (my first giveaway prize) but also saw me make a lovely new friend.. More on that another time!

For now I just want to get in there and write this blog. It has been in the works for some time as I am a bit of a quilter who has been busy lurking in many gorgeous blogs. Finally Cath (my friend and business partner at Corduroy Corner) and I decided to jump in and explore this new land together!

I should note that neither of us knows much about writing a blog, so please, grin and bear with us...

So, what have I got on offer for you my new fugly friends?

How about;

• Some fussy cut Dick and Jane by Michael Miller fabric (about 1/3 yard, like I said I fussy cut it, see the detail shot--wouldn't you not want to waste it too?)
• 20 x 5 1/2 inch yellow and white polka dot charms. I cut these for a quilt I made this month for a friend who had her first bubba, I have posted a pic below because I was just very happy with how it turned out! As I cut too many I thought you might like to use them in a project.

OK, back to the giveaway..
