Grand Opening Sale and A Walk In The Woods is Here!

Hi Everyone,

I decided to have a Grand Opening sale to celebrate the new website. So go see if there is something you can't live without and use this coupon code to get 10% off GRNDOPN10

Maybe some of this:

I have to admit the reds are my faves....and those foxlets ... eep!

Two more collections should be here today I believe... Fruit Slice from Khrisian A. Howell and Maya from Leah Duncan. Two super sweet girls I was lucky enough to meet at last Quilt Market.

See you tomorrow with something completely different :)

I did it!! The shop is open! This week's giveaway!

Hey Everyone,

Well it is official. I have an online shop. Come see The Intrepid Thread I can't tell you how happy I am that  this is finally done!

To Celebrate the Grand Opening Melissa at Happy Quilting is hosting this weeks giveaway a few days early. So head on over and enter to win this:

Poetica fqs in Rose Ballad! Well, you know I only giveaway good stuff, right? :)

A Walk In The Woods is here! It was too late to get pictures last night so the bundles aren't posted yet but yardage is up in the shop and it will allow you to buy fat quarters if you want to pick and choose your own instead of getting a bundle that I make up. Gotta love Little Red Riding Hood and the Foxlets.... the bundles will be up in the afternoon.

I better get to work! Have an amazing Wednesday!

Winner o' the chicken dinner.... or charm packs :)

Friday Fun Day and the Giveaway

Hi Everyone,

I just put the shop in Vacation mode but I am not taking a vacation :) I am working on the new website and getting some much needed organization done. So those are my plans for the weekend.... what about you? Do you have anything fun going on for the Holiday weekend?

I am giving away two charm packs of A Walk In The Woods this week. I always feel like you need at least two to make anything...

Aren't they cute? So here is how you enter... Leave me a comment telling me what fabric collection you would bring back if you could. You may not say Neptune (because don't we all?) or Flea Market Fancy (it has been done :) ) so anything but those two... The giveaway runs until midnight 2/24/12.

Go forth and have a lovely weekend... you will see me back here tomorrow with the winner of last week's giveaway.

What I Did Over My Winter Vacation.

Okay... it was really over a Winter Weekend but it felt like a vacation.... Saturday was the December meeting of my Modern Quilt Guild (Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild) So many pretties on display...

Like this Walk In The Woods Quilt by Alison (on the far left). Alison works for C&T publishing.

And this gorgeous little quilt by Colleen with Heather Ross'  Far Far Away.....

Much talent at my guild!

Sunday, I was a bad girl and played hooky from Church and Small Group to take a class from the incomparable Kristen Robinson at A Work Of Heart.

Her jewelry designs make me drool. She had pieces for sale there at a trunk show and wow it was hard not to buy them all. This is her book...

 These are just a couple of the pieces she shows you how to make in her book. The examples are gorgeous and inspiring and she makes them so easy.

Here are the beginnings of what I made in class:

These aren't finished yet because I have to wait for the resin to cure before I can finish. The cuffs started out as flat shiny blank cuffs. We learned to etch them using stamps and alcohol ink and ... well it is etching.. acid.

Eventually they will have bezels attached and lots of bling... here are some of the bezels I picked up at AWOH for further Ice Resin work (and the one that I already did for attachment to the large cuff):

 (oh and a chandelier crystal for another art piece :) )

It was a great weekend. I hope you all got to follow your muse a bit this weekend too!

Talk soon!

Uh Oh... Me Thinks We Need Some Of This

Hi Everyone,

Mistress Hoey has done it again. I swore I was going to resist this time but I don't think I can:

A Walk In The Woods.... sunk!
