I Told You It Was That Season

Hi Everyone,

Remember back here when I told you it was the season for QALs... well I know you have seen it. It is crazy out there... I am trying not to stick my neck out too far ... too much flying around :) I did commit to one thing though... just one or maybe two...

I am joining the Stash Bee with Sunni at Love Affair With My Brother. Look at Sunni's block... how could I resist I ask you?

What about a block of the month that would be perfect for quilting newbies? Go see Jeni (I just started sponsoring her) and join along in her HST Block of the Month... looks like a kick right?

PS. I love how she uses the Art Gallery Oval Elements fabric in the middle....

Wow oh Wow!!!!! I finally made it to 1001 followers (okay I know I have lots more in google reader and I love you guys too) but it is fun to see that number on the widget isn't it? So let's celebrate... oh wait we are already celebrating... oh, so what! Who says we can't have two parties at once? Put on your party frocks and hats Ladies and Gents... and meet me back here tomorrow :)

Talk to you then :)

Monday, Monday....

Hi Everyone!

Oh my goodness! I am sorry I have been so quiet the last week... Today starts the 4th and last day of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale and I have spent the last 3 days,  literally (I promise I am not exaggerating) 15 hrs a day cutting and wrapping. Even on my Birthday... eeps! I also updated my coming soon page on the website so go take a look at all of the awesome that is coming. I took a moment this morning to take a couple pictures (in the dark... excuse the quality).

 Some Sunni loves me ... because she sent me this adorable notebook for my birthday. Wasn't that sweet of her? She covered it in some of the solids I sent her and some Hometown. It is so adorable! Reminds me of a sunrise ... le sigh...

 After all of this crazy busy I am taking Wednesday off to sew some cute outfits for this adorable girl. Her name is Nezumi (means mouse) 'cause she has silver hair (my daughter named her). She was my birthday pressie from the best Hubby ever! (I am part of a Yahoo group called Creepy Old Ladies That Play With Dolls LOL) But I am not that old... for all of you that were guessing my age I am not 50 and I am not 25 but I am closer to the former than the latter :)

I will also be whipping up a little Sumthin' Sumthin' for my Twitter Secret Santa partner with this here Neptune. (I mean really ... just use it already) LOL She is a die hard Tula Pink fan.

Back to the cutting table. Don't miss the great deals on Delighted, Little Apples and Terrain... with the extra 20% off you are getting them basically at wholesale...

Have a super Monday!

Friday Fun Day, Blessings, and The Giveaway

Hi Everyone,

For fun I thought I would show you a few Sneaky Peekies of some things from the Newsletter (it will be out Tuesday).

Melissa's Original Reversible Bag Pattern. This will be so awesome for Christmas gift giving...

There will be a super little pattern tip from our friend Sunni.

And I know you have seen this already but it's so gorgeous I just have to show you again:

A tutorial from Brooke on how to make my table runner :)
PS. go take a look at her blog today she is working up something with one of the fabric collections I have coming for the shop.. yum yum!

There will also be a tutorial from Jackie for this adorable Christmas Wall Hanging.

In this month of Thanksgiving I also want to tell you how blessed I am to have such wonderful friends. Melissa, Sunni , and Sasha are new friends but no less cherished (lucky me I get to meet Melissa this week). Brooke, Sally, and Jackie are old friends (I met them in January LOL) but we are soul mates and I always know they are in my corner as I am in theirs. I am so blessed.

One more very special friend is my friend Becky. I met Becky through this blog. She is a new quilter and we hit it off instantly. She was the one that introduced me to Mixed Media Art and we share books across the miles. I love this girl! Here is a piece of art that she made that showed up across the miles for me one day:

She is such a doll! So all of this to say Happy Birthday girlie! Hope you have a wonderful one!

On to the Giveaway... in honor for Brooke I am giving away a six fat quarter pack of Primitiva that I picked up at Sample Spree... yay!

Fun stuff!

All you have to do is leave a comment here telling me what you feel most blessed for. Giveaway runs until Friday 11/18 at midnight.

Have a wonderful day and go thank a Veteran or Soldier it's only fair!

PIQF, A Discount Code, And A Tutorial From One Of Our Favorite People

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday Sally and I went to PIQF (Pacific International Quilt Festival) we had a blast and saw some old friends.

Sally and our friend Gina

I also was so excited to see quilts by some of my friends from the Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild

This is Angela's quilt... carpool to guild meetings together... it was in a place of honor on the back wall of the first show booth... so exciting.

This is Jaye's quilt again in a place of honor just two booth's down from Angela's on the back wall of this booth

It was a good time but after Market it seemed so much smaller than I remembered.

Sunni at Love Affair With My Brother has a tutorial up using Delighted for an adorable little garment. Go take a look.

This is the last coupon code of the month. I need to clear some space for the 5 new collections that will be here before the end of the month. In honor of the Delighted Launch party on the 19th the coupon code is LAUNCH15 for 15% off on everything in the shop. It is good until midnight on Monday.

Have a wonderful Saturday ... I will see you on Monday!

Talk soon...
