Someone in Texas Loves You


First of all, I must say.....
Thank you  Erin and Madame Samm for this opportunity to share something all of us
  "Texans" are very proud of, our state flowerBLUEBONNETS 

(Yes, these beauty's are in my own back yard right now !)
April showers bring May flowers, but in Texas, March rain brings April bluebonnets !


  
Now the MUG Rug ....
 I knew right away what I wanted my mug rug to look like when I found this cup I had sent to my mother a long time ago. "Sew", I'm dedicating this day to her, Ms. Helen M. Smith -Turner.  
A sweet little lady who loves to garden, loves animals, flowers, TEXAS
 and Me, (there are 4 other kids, but I'm the baby, "sew" I'm special, wink.)

I paper pieced it, appliqued and quilted it.
 Notice the white fabric, it's a white on white barbed wire and the star is white on white stars.
I have a thing for stars you know !    

I love the coffee mug above, it was made in Marshall, Texas
Today's blog hop has many of my favorite things in it, rain showers, green stuff, Mom, grand-kids, dogs, flowers, The Lone Star State, fabric and something to put my coffee in and on!

Fonzie, the Ranch Rooster is crowing about this Moda fabric, and that grasshopper up there.
 He must be crowing that I should give away two  fat quarters.
Well alrighty then Fonzie, I'll just cock-a-doodle-do that !
How do you enter to win ?
Since today has been about using fabric with my state flower on it to make my mug rug,
 Tell me what your state flower is !
Anyone, anywhere can enter !
Winner will be announced Wednesday, April1 17th
