Hop with me Friends!!

Cup-o-Jo(sie)
So, I took a nod from our fearless leader herself! I, too am a coffee addict! The richer and the darker the better! LOL Now those of you who read me know I don't take fab pics! I am just a normal Jo!! LOL So Sit back have a cup-o-joe and look and laugh with me!!! 

Fun back


I had to go with a fun back, I took this before I put on the little holdy tabs!  I decided to go with fun stripey binding!!  Nothing normal for this gal! I was pretty proud of my bias stripey binding so two pics you get!!

Binding




Oh and yes, I wrote it!! I have not yet jumped into embroidery! Ladies, I have been at the quilty thing for only a year now! I was pretty proud of my paper piecing! LOL 
Did you take note of the Wine bottles and growlers very proudly displayed!! LOL 
YUP! I have my coffee for morning and my wine... 
Well, now I know what my next mini will be!!

Don't forget to check out the rest of the lovely minis today!
