Rose Room Quilts has a GIveAway!

This is a great one! Rose Room Quilts is hosting a giveaway of a fat quarter bundle of Daisy Doodle fabric in honor of the opening of their new Etsy shop. Head on over and check them out, the giveaway fabric really should be mine, but if not me, it should at least be you!

I just love the colors and the polka dots! The lime, turquoise and grey make such a cool combination.

Another GIveAway you can not miss!

Oh my, you can enter another give-away for the AccuQuilt Go! over at a la mode fabric. How lucky can we get? Go check out her site, she's got some great tutorials, leave her a comment and maybe you'll get lucky!

A fun give-away!

Head over to FreckledWhimsy for the chance to win an Accuquilt Go! This looks like such a handy tool/toy to have. The giveaway ends tomorrow so hurry!

Done!

My modern Hexagon quilt is done! As usual, if you keep going on something that you're not sure you like, you're bound to fall in love with it eventually. Now I love it. I think it turned out a little manly, except the backing maybe, since it's black/white floral. But my son thought the backing was perfect, so I think it's still masculine.
I just did an allover swirled design on the quilting and really like how it turned out!

Since I have about ten more tops to get quilted, I'm going to let this one go in my shop, so head on over here to check make this one yours!

Yummy!

Oh, my....

A little eye candy that came from Ruby Janes Retro Fabric, they had a

12 hour 1/2 off everything sale. Ummm, I really don't see how I could pass up 1/2 off! And yes, I bought more than I might have just to get the free shipping, but did I mention that it was ALL 1/2 OFF ?

So, yes, there's more.....

Now I need to go fold it all nice and pretty (after I fondle and drool over everything!) and then I will take some new photos that actually show off whats here! Happy me!

I love surprises!

Went to the post office today and this bunch of goodies was waiting for me.

My Moms the best! She found these old quilt magazines for me with some really cute stuff in it and sent along this fabric too. Can't believe that it's apples because I was already thinking that her new house should be apples instead of sunflowers like her kitchen in Arizona. Guess great minds really do think alike.

I'm pretty sure that she will need to have a plastic bag holder and some hot pads to match. Most likely she would like some placemats too.....hmmmmmm, so much sewing to be done.

Better go.....

Why does cleaning make such a mess?

Why is it that whenever I try to make my sewing room tidier it ends up just the opposite?

It all started with (finally!!!) getting my Little Gracie quilt frame set up, it took me about six months to get the staining project done and another six to look at the pieces before I got it done! Jeez. I realized just how many scraps I have and decided they should go into a string quilt; and that's how my sewing room now loo

ks like the rainbow fabric fairy hit me with a tornado of bits and pieces like these.

The very first few blocks I made I liked, then I placed about 10 together and didn't like it anymore. So, I did a little surfing and found some photos of ones I liked better that had a strip of black in the center to help gives your eyes a

rest and make a pattern. WAY BETTER!!!!!

And here is what it looks like now:

I was thinking that this would be my "ugly, I don't care" quilt, but I do like how it turned out and apparently so does my FIL. I've never heard him go on about how pretty a quilt was until he saw the sections laid out on my table, he even suggested adding a border! This is now "Jims' Quilt" and I need to hurry up and finish it for him. I think he'll be pretty surprised and happy that it's for him!

The sun is finally shining a little today over my house, I think I will go soak some of it up and then take a few more photos while I don't need the flash. Happy Day!!
