Quilt Magazine

The blog hop for 'the Quilt Pattern Magazine' ended December 31st. If you want to get a subscription go over there NOW and sign up.
I went to random number generator and it chose # 51.
I'm sorry that I couldn't give all y'all a subscription to the wonderful new magazine but a gal from Pennsylvania won my give-away. Since Micki now lives in Ireland I'm sure she will enjoy getting this magazine without paying outrageous postage.
In honor of Ireland my blog is typed in green. I've always wanted to visit Ireland and now I've 'met' someone that lives there!
Since I did NOT win a subscription I'm going over there now to purchase one.

900th post give-away

My son went to random number generator and Nina-Marie won! I'll need a physical address to mail you a zipper pouch. If you have a favorite color now is the time to tell me; I hope to make it Wednesday.
Today I cleaned the sewing room since so much of the stuff was in the car. Tomorrow I'll get everything put back and Wednesday I'll be set to sew.

Stash Report

May 22, 2009

I've decided who gets the lovely zippered bag; Laramie's comment won. " I would give the bag to Katherine, who would love it to death. It would pair very nicely with her lovely pink birthday quilt. Well, Katherine would try to stick in a book, so she could carry it to the tree, sit in the branch, and read it....." 

It sounds like Katherine will get a lot of use out of it. Laramie needs to e-mail me his street address so I can get it mailed soon.

My stash report is the same as last week; I spent almost all of my sewing time working on the charity quilt for our congregation. I got the twin put together to show the women at church today; hoping it will excite 1 or 2 of them to get a few more blocks done for the full size one.

Who wouldn't want a 'color block' quilt on their bed?

birthday giveaway

In 2006 I decided to make my birthday cards. I have no idea how many of my family actually received a version of this card. If those that did or didn't would let me know I could fill in gaps.

May is our birthday month; 4 birthdays.

Sooo what would you put in this adaptation of the birthday card?

The best answer wins and I'll mail it to YOU.

*Laramie's comment won. I hope Catherine is enjoying her pouch.

One more zipper down and only 62 to go.

400th post!

I promised a drawing for my 400th post. So, do we really need a photo of my child's hand choosing a number? No, I hope not since I didn't use my child and I didn't take a photo either. So my cover-up go to this blogger. I know she has at least 2 children so she gets both! So I need your address Leslie; I'm glad you won! Although I wish I had more to give to some of the other commenters. (I have fabric for 2 more I think somewhere; so when I find it I'll do this again...I'm not looking for it though and I might have given it away.)

385

To celebrate my 385th posting I am giving away 2 of these cute paint cover-ups. What can I say; I'm cleaning out the sewing room and these were just sitting there begging to be made. So they are finished and now are begging to get out of my house....

(They are a pre-printed panel I found in bag of fabric a friend gave me about 6 months ago. I think they would fit a 2-5 year old.)

So leave a comment and when I get around to it I'll do a drawing. ( at least before my 400 th post)

this is the front and back of one of the 'aprons' the other is identical.
