3 WAY GIVEAWAY!

Wed 01 Sep 2010 - Sun 05 Sep 2010

Hello, lucky readers!
I have been busy sewing up a storm! I made 2 twin sized quilt tops in the past week and as much as I would love to show them to you.... it will have to wait. They are both original designs I created to submit for magazine publications. I hope somebody will say yes to my designs! Pray for me!
Some good news is that I have been granted permission to post one of my projects on a VERY popular online blog! I'm very excited! (can't you tell?) More details on this to follow...

A NOTIONS GIVEAWAY

Wed 01 Sep 2010 - Sun 05 Sep 2010

Well, finally got back to destashing and what do I find - a small box under some fabric. I put away what I wanted and decided to give away the rest. Would you like to get these in the mail?


There is a finger guard for hand quilting. I have one already and find it very useful. Then there is a small vial of Roxanne's #12 betweens with a cute shell for a stopper. I use others like these for applique. And then there's a cute pin cushion made from an acron, some rick-rack and a small piece of cloth stuffed with batting. Lastly there is a package of bookplates with the prickly pear block as part of the design - they are self adhesive and of the same design - a BBD Creations from Vero Beach, FL. I wonder where I got those, but I've decided not to use bookplates any more.

Giveaway closes next Sunday - I'll annouce the winner Monday. To win, just become a follower and leave me a message.

Good Luck!
