Friday Fun Day (delayed a bit) & The Giveaway

Friday, July 22, 2011
Hi Everyone,

I didn't get much sleep last night (Too excited about Heirloom and Pernilla's Journey coming today I think).

Some of the almost 39 prints in Heirloom
Our Friday Tutorial for The Quilted Fish is going to be slightly delayed today. So I thought you might like to see this fun tutorial from Sew Take A Hike a diaper wristlet with changing pad out of Laurie Wisbrun's new fabric, so cute!

On to the Giveaway... today I decided to let you pick your own. I am giving away a $25 gift certificate to my shop. You get to pick your own prize. You can even save it for future use with one of the fun lines that is coming later.



Okay this one you get to work for as well... Here is my favorite quote that uses the word "Intrepid":

"She'd not known she had it in her. She was feeling...well...rather intrepid..." Chloe Zanders - Dark Highlander by Karen Marie Moning (honestly if you haven't read her you don't know what your missing)

So your mission if you choose to accept it is... either come up with your own quote that uses the word Intrepid or find one from somewhere else. This is still a random giveaway so no matter the quote you can win. But I will be choosing a few for the pages of my website in the future.

Leave one comment with your entry quote and good luck. Giveaway runs until next Friday July 29th at midnight.

See you in a little while with a treasure of a tutorial from Jana...

  5. Man it is hard to find "intrepid" quotes! I wanted to give you one that wasn't already mentioned and this is what I found:

    “It is very perplexing how an intrepid frontier people, who fought a wilderness, floods, tornadoes, and the Rockies, cower before criticism, which is regarded as a malignant tumor in the imagination.”

    Edward Dahlberg quotes (American Novelist, 1900-1977)

  18. Captain James T. Kirk: Personal log --stardate 4309.2. We have
    established that the thing which destroyed the U.S.S. Intrepid and
    the Gamma 7A system is an incredibly huge but simple cellular being
    whose energies are totally destructive to all known life. Both Mr.
    Spock and Dr. McCoy have volunteered to go in a specially equipped
    shuttlecraft to penetrate the cell, find a way to destroy it and
    free the ship. Dr. McCoy has the medical and biological knowledge.
    Mr. Spock is better suited physically and emotionally to stand the
    stress. Both are right, both are capable... and which of my friends
    do I condemn to death?

  22. Every artist, no matter what medium with which they create, intrepidly display's their work in an exhibit to be critiqued by an audience of peers...they must be prepared for either praise or criticism.

    This is just a thought I had...art is so subjective...and you really must be able to fearlessly release your work for others to see...knowing full well that there are those who will like or dislike it.

  33. Heres one I found for 'intrepidly'...hope it counts.

    Every one knows the fine story of Perseus and Andromeda; how the lovely Andromeda, the daughter of a king, was tied to a rock on the sea-coast, and as Leviathan was in the very act of carrying her off, Perseus, the prince of whalemen, intrepidly advancing, harpooned the monster, and delivered and married the maid.

  36. Ok, here's the thing. I don't know any good quotes, but here's what I have: when I was a little, there was a show called: Les intrépides (the intrepids). It was literally one of my favorite shows. I live in Québec Canada, so this show is in french. Here is a link to the show and a clip of it on YouTube:

  51. To follow up on Our Busy Little Bunch's quote, Wikkipedia also says this "In 1976 British-born Canadian author William Stevenson published a biography of Stephenson, A Man Called Intrepid. Some of the book's statements have been called into question, notably in Nigel West's Counterfeit Spies (1998). "Intrepid" was probably not Stephenson's codename, but BSC's telegraphic address in New York."

  92. The most intrepid shopper finds making a choice from all those fabrics rather daunting, but exciting at the same time

    ReplyDelete
  93. As you may recall, we have enjoyed the 32 ft. Intrepid for a number of years, and for the last four, the 35 ft. Intrepid. We have used it extensively as a tender to our 130 ft. motor yacht, the Silver Shalis. We have towed it throughout the Mediterranean during the summers of '07 and '08, traveling many thousands of miles from the Turkish to the Spanish Coast, and all places in between.
    I just knew Intrepid had to be used militarily, like USS Intrepid, or Starship Intrepid or HMS Intrepid. But it is the name of a line of water craft. But I can see Capt Kirk and Spock piloting it into deep space. Great name, great images.

  95. Wow this was a tough one. I found a bunch of quotes but most were already posted so I decided to go another route. This is from Intrepid Potash's 2nd quarter results statement. Not very exciting, but interesting that two businesses with polar opposite products share the same name. "Intrepid estimates that it produced between 205,000 and 215,000 tons of potash and sold between 220,000 and 230,000 tons of potash. Production within the quarter includes the benefit of approximately one extra month than historically normal of production from our Moab solar solution mine because of favorable brine levels and harvest conditions. Intrepid estimates its average net realized sales price for potash sold during the quarter was approximately $455 -- $465 per ton. "

  96. I found this one, but, being so late to the game, it is already here!

    “It is very perplexing how an intrepid frontier people, who fought a wilderness, floods, tornadoes, and the Rockies, cower before criticism, which is regarded as a malignant tumor in the imagination.”

    Edward Dahlberg quotes (American Novelist, 1900-1977)

    Thanks for the giveaway! Heirloom is GORGEOUS!!!

  97. The intrepid quilter threw caution to the wind - combining fabrics that should not be combined, mixing techniques that should not be mixed. It was either going to be awesome, or awesomely awful.

  104. I am afraid I am not much of a help when it comes to quotes for intrepid nor for making them up :)
    I found the one from Churchill and I thought it was pretty great but you already got that like 20 times...

  113. This is from the show How I Met Your Mother. Barney, discussing the game show The Price is Right: "The Price is Right is not just an indescribably entertaining hour of television, it's a microcosm of our entire economic system--a capitalist utopia, where consumers are rewarded for their persistence, market acumen, and intrepid spirit. I gaze upon the glory of The Price is Right, and I see the face of America, and it is divine. Plus, you know, hot girls on sports cars."

    Doh! I see someone already found this one for you. I like it a lot!
