Phew Friday Fun Day... And Another Giveaway

Hi Everyone,

Thank goodness it is Friday, ya know what I mean? What a crazy busy week! The Fun in this Friday is this amazing magazine that Amanda put together. It was photographed at the UP House. So cute! And it features projects from some of my favorite people like Brooke, Sally, and Jana.

And the Giveaway today is being hosted by Melissa at Happy Quilting. It is Fat Quarters of The Woodlands gotta love those fun prints. And don't forget to go back to the post yesterday and enter the giveaway for Pear Tree.

Okay for everyone that is wondering about my hint yesterday. The guesses are cracking me up but the rumor of my Pregnancy  is greatly exaggerated. That one made me laugh out loud! No I am not having a baby next week but someone did a (eh hemmmm) few years ago... my mom! My birthday is next Saturday. This is one of those big ones that ends in a 5 or a 0 ... this time a 5. I am that fortunate girl that gets a pumpkin pie for a birthday cake every year and I get to make it myself too :) Sometimes my birthday is on Thanksgiving day itself. So we are celebrating all week long (it just so happened a lot of my sponsored blogs are having giveaways that I am sponsoring in the next week and a half) so stay tuned for all the presents you get on my birthday ... hehe :)

Friday Fun Day (delayed a bit) & The Giveaway

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...

WIP Wednesday and Halloween In June

Hi Everyone,

In between getting the newsletter out on Monday and packing orders I have been trying to get some sewing done. It feels good to finally be back to the sewing machine. Above is a little quilt that I have been wanting to make ever since I got Kumari Garden Holiday into the shop. It is large blocks to show off the gorgeous prints in the collection and has a super cute applique feature at the top... I will show you soon when it is finished. The pattern will be available soon in my shop as well.

The second WIP I wanted to show today is something I am working on for a reveal next month... so I can only show you a little sneaky peeky... have I said how much I love red lately? I so do!

Back in the old days we called WIPs UFOs. Does anyone but me call them UFOs anymore?

My friend Jana is having a Halloween Party in June... she says she doesn't have time in October to get her Halloween decorations made so she is going to start this month. Go over to her blog and sew along with her. She is a hoot and you are sure to have fun.

Hope everyone is having a super short work week this week.

Talk soon.
