Friday Fun Day: Seventh Prize and Two Giveaways

Hi Everyone,

It's Friday, it's Friiii---daaaaaaay! Can you see me singing and doing the cabbage patch? Seventh and final prize for the three prize packs for the 300th post giveaway:

From Lizzy House, mini notebooks and magnets. One of these will go in each pack randomly :) The little notebooks are just the right size to carry around and sketch in.
It's Friday that means giveaway day. Have you all noticed that I have been having my friends host my Friday giveaways lately? You might think I am just being nice but I have an ulterior motive... I am lazy. It's true... I know you believe it.

First up The Hostess Half Dozen is being hosted by my friend Stephanie. Stephanie is one of the girls on The Quilted Fish's Creative Consultant team with me. She has a great blog and is hosting a QAL at the moment for The Little Forest quilt. You know the one... the little tree quilt from Purl Bee. I promise even if you don't know that you have seen it ... you have. So on with the show here is what Stephanie picked for you guys:

Six FQs from the red and pink colorways of Taza. I love these so much! I always say that don't I? Looks like she doesn't quite have her post up yet but head over there a little later to enter.

The Second giveaway is hosted by Lynn at The Alamosa Quilter it is a gift certificate for $20 to my shop.

So hit those two stops on your tour today to enter for some fun winnin's.

My wish for you this weekend is that you have many hours of sewing, laughter, and love!

See you tomorrow with the winners of the 300th post giveaway... so exciting!

Talk soon!

Sneak Peeks and Other Random Stuff

Hi Everyone!

Sorry for being so quiet this week. It is a bad idea to take 2 days off when you work for yourself you end up making up for it for a week :)

This is a sneak peek of a Little Apples Tutorial that Brooke is working on for the Newsletter. Precious!

And here are a couple pictures of a Taza project she is working up for you too.

Dang that girl is prolific!

All of my testing Guinea Pigs you should have an email in your box from me about the site. Scary but exciting!

I hit 500 followers while I was away this weekend and I will be hitting my 300th post in the next week or so. You know around here that can only mean one thing.... PARTY (with lots of goody bags) stay tuned for that.

Now it is time to get out of my jammies and get started on the day.

Talk soon!

FWQAL and stuff....

Hi Everyone,

I never got a chance to take a picture of my two latest FWQAL blocks. My son had taken over the office while he is here for a week or two before heading off to college.


FW block 13



FW block 14

I am sorry that have not been personally answering all of the giveaway comments. I took the day off on Tuesday (first time since I opened the shop) and went to hang out with a friend. By the time I got back I had over 200 emails... it was just too daunting. The shop seems to be a bit quiet today so I might get a chance to sew.... I pulled these from my stash for the event (it is an event when I get to sew now :) )

Aren't they pretty?

I think I am gonna rab up some of this and make a pressie for my MIL for her Birthday:

Her Living room is blue and yellow so maybe this can be a couch throw... I love these so much!

Be back tomorrow with Friday fun day.

Talk soon...

Yay! Taza is Coming Today and Tomorrow is...

Hi Everyone,

Taza is coming today!

And tomorrow is my Blogiversary... two years tomorrow. I can't believe it... it went by so fast. Of course that is the combined time of my old blog and my new blog but since I moved everything over to this one I think it all counts as one... at least I am saying it does. So I bet you know what will be coming tomorrow... PORKCHOP

Hugs everyone!
