Happy Monday with Happy Quilting

Hi Everyone,

Today you get to see something fun that has been happening behind the scenes over here. Melissa from Happy Quilting asked me a few weeks ago if I would like to kit up her next pattern. Well what do you think? I jumped at the chance. I love all of her fun patterns on Moda Bake Shop don't you? So this is the super adorable pattern...

Melissa picked Apple Of My Eye do you believe it has only been a week since it came into the shop and I shipped it out and she already has the quilt made and quilted and in a pattern? Wow that is some fast and wonderful work! I have the kit for sale in the shop as well as the pattern by itself. If you buy the kit you are getting the pattern for free and paying just my regular (low, super great, awesome) price for the fabric. If you want to see more pictures of the quilt click on the link to Melissa's blog up above.

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!

Friday Fun Day and the Giveaway

Hi Everyone,

Oh my goodness... My daughter doesn't do pop culture but my son does so now every Friday I hear him in my head singing that stilly Friday song... you know the one. I bet you have an idea of what I am giving away this week... Moroccan Mirage of course!

Go over to Happy Quilting to enter. You might like to say best wishes on Melissa's new baby while you are there she went in yesterday to have the baby ... wasn't it sweet of her to set up the giveaway for you guys before she did. I don't know how she gets it all done with all her adorable children and the designing and everything.

I thought I would show you all a little toy that I haven't mentioned before. One of the ladies in my Modern Quilt Guild is Kacie... she and her husband have developed a super fun quilt designing software that you can use on their website. She doesn't even know that I am posting this I just thought of it this morning :)

It is called Quiltivate

You can go here to check it out. If you are anything like me you can spend hours messing around with it :) Amanda Jean from Crazy Mom Quilts has written some tutorials for you over there as well. Here is a link to the blog that shows the blocks you can choose for the tutorials.

Something super fun happened yesterday. My little blog was visited by none other than the sweet, beautiful, amazing, generous Kate Spain. She left a comment on my post about Terrain being in and the 8 people that commented on that post are getting mini charm packs of Terrain. Talk about exciting. I just love that girl!

Have an amazing Friday everyone!
