More fun with Terrain, Christmas In July Coupon, Little Apples Winner

Hi Everyone,

Here is a coupon for 20% off anything in the shop for Christmas in July since my prices are already more than 10% below retail that is a pretty hefty discount (yardage for $6.60 or less). You have to hurry though because it only lasts until Midnight on Monday July 11. XMAS20

I took apart the fat quarter pack of Terrain last night and I thought you guys might like to see how I plan on splitting up the colorways for my smaller fat quarter and half yard packs. I also thought, for anyone that hasn't seen the fabrics in person, you might like to see the scale of some of the prints. They are smaller than I expected from the preview photos in some cases.

Here is Blue:

Here is Green:

Here is Orange/ Pink:

And here is Purple/Pink:

I am totally in love with every fabric in this line...even the ones I wasn't sure about before I saw them in person.

Now for our winner of little Apples:

LOVE the prize! When I was a teenager I loved running around the neighborhood watching all of the fireworks shows with my friends! We also did sparklers in someone's driveway that Fourth, and watched the big fireworks show from our deck. So much fun!

Friday Fun Day... and a little Terrain Giveaway

Hi Everyone,

It is Friday Fun Day... you know what that means... a super tutorial from one of my fellow Creative Consultants For The Quilted Fish....

My market roomie and one of my bestest friends, Sally, made this adorable scrumpteousness for you to try. Go on over to The Quilted Fish and find out how she did it. You could be snuggling with this soon.


Did someone say giveaway and Terrain in the same sentence? Oh it might have been me... you see I have this:

Isn't it pretty? I simply cannot wait until it shows up in bolts for the shop. I can't giveaway the whole fat quarter bundle because I do have to make some samples with it, but I am going to draw two winners next Saturday the 16th of July to win two 5" charm packs a piece. I will cut the charms myself. There are 38 fabrics in this collection so that will be 76 charms in each pack. Whadya say? Do you want some?

Rules:
This one is a little trickier (I am trying to decide on one more Moda collection to bring to the shop this fall) so click here click on the blue scissors under the tags for Flora, Ruby, and Summer House (it will open a pdf with pictures of the fabrics) and tell me, in one comment, which two you like best. Try to keep in mind what I have in the shop now and the esthetic that I am trying to maintain as well. You guys get to have a peek into my process this way and I get to consider your input :) Giveaway is open until midnight Friday night the 15th of July.

Don't forget to enter to win some Little Apples you have until midnight tonight to get in your comment. I have so loved all of your 4th of July and holiday stories.

Good Luck Everyone!

Talk soon....

Quilt Alongs....

HI Everyone,

I know you haven't heard much from me this week.
I started a quilt along with my Modern Quilt Guild I showed you a couple of the blocks on Saturday. Above are some of the fabrics cut out to make my next two blocks... the "B" blocks. Below are all four of the "A" blocks that I have made.

The top ones are "Alaska Homestead" the bottom ones are "Algonquin Charm". I have a special love for anything that is a variation of a Churn Dash or a Farmer's Daughter block... these both fit the bill.

I so want to start the Farmer's Wife Quilt Along but I am just too afraid that I am so far behind. Maybe I will do it anyway.

Have you started any new quilt alongs lately?

Come back tomorrow for Friday Fun Day and the newest Giveaway (I promise you don't want to miss this one.)

I sewed....

Hi Everyone,

Everyday is a good day if you get to sew right?

I made this little quilted wristlet and matching wallet for myself. I haven't had a wallet in a long time and I kept wanting to make one but never took the time. This was a simple pattern I don't think it took me more than an hour and it came out so cute. It even has a zippered pocket inside for change. I quilted the bag with a meandering dragonfly pattern. It was a stencil I have had for a while but never used. I love how these came out and I am so happy to have some summery accessories.

That is what I did over 4th of July weekend... did you get some sewing done? Why not tell me about it?

If you want to make Sasha's wristlet now is the time to get the fabric. I am about to go over to the shop and mark down Lola's Posies to 30% off MSRP there are only small bits left on the bolts and when they are gone they are gone.... Farm Fresh should be coming this week... can't wait for that.

Talk soon!

Yay! Quilt Guild Day

Hi Everyone,

I am off to the Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild today. We are doing a mug rug swap (I used scraps from my Pillow Talk Swap stuff) I love it :) I hope whoever gets it does too. Then we are also doing a quilt along. It is an alphabet quilt along where we pick blocks that start with A, B, C etc... These are my first blocks (don't ask why but I decided I wanted to do two quilts at once) Ruby on the right (my traditional quilt) and LouLouThi on the left (my modern quilt) The block is called Alaska Homestead. The colors probably won't always match they just happened to this time.

Hope you all have a great Holiday weekend. See ya on the flip side :)

Talk soon.

Friday Fun Day My Turn... And A Giveaway Of Course.

Hi Everyone,

The Giveaway this week will make you the envy of your friends. I am giving away a Fat Eighth Pack of Little Apples. I got this and another pack (you get to see that next week) in the mail as samples this week. The actual stuff doesn't come for a month or so yet.

The Rules:

This is open until next Friday July 8 as usual.
