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!

Friday Fun Day and the Giveaway Stays Home This Week

Hi Everyone,

Here is a little sneaky peek of the tutorial that will be in the Newsletter tonight. Because no matter how crazy things get around here the amazing Mistress Brooke never lets me down. I love you Brooke! Yummy yummy Terrain...

Last month when I booked a class at A Work Of Heart for yesterday I had no idea how busy I would be. I felt a little guilty for playing hooky for 2 hrs to go to the class... but I had a great time. I learned a teeny tiny bit about soldering and made these adorable pieces...

I couldn't resist showing you the little Charm Pack I got from Kate Spain she is so sweet!

I got a package in the mail a few days ago from my friend Jackie she sent me one of her hand dyed silk scarves and some of her hand dyed fabric as a surprise... Isn't it beautiful? She has just opened an Etsy shop for her wares.

So here is the giveaway. How about a Rolie Polie of Delighted?

Be sure to come back tomorrow for an announcement about Delighted as well.

But for now here is how you enter to win. You only have to do one but if you do more you get more chances. Leave a comment for each thing that you do:

1. Leave a comment... any comment.
2. Go over to Amanda's blog and leave her a comment. You might want to say something nice about how much you love her fabric designs. :)
3. Go to Amanda's facebook page and like her. And/Or click the like button for my facebook page on the top right of this blog.

So easy. The giveaway goes until next Friday, October 7.

See you tomorrow! Have a wonderful Friday!

Woot Rhonda! I will be emailing you.

Thanks for entering both giveaways. This week.

I am off to a quilting retreat today with my Modern Quilt Guild. So much to do in the next few hours. Here are a couple new free quilt patterns for thenew lines I have coming in... Fun stuff.

Moroccan Mirage

Rendezvous (this one is for three table runners)

Okay on to the really important stuff... the giveaway for this week. This week my friend Jackie will be hosting my giveaway. She chose 6 Taza fabrics "The Hostess' Half Dozen" for you to receive FQs of. They look something like this:

So go over to her blog and enter to win some of this yumminess. Click any of the links to get there or here :)

Tomorrow I will be making a very short post... seriously less than 10 words probably but you won't want to miss it. ... just sayin'.

Talk Soon.

Wanted: Guinea Pigs... and more new fabric.

Hi Everyone,

First the eye candy:

These are from Rendezvous by Khristian A. Howell for Anthology... it was the Damask that did me in. I know some people are saying they are tired of teal and red... but this is oh so different and sophisticated. Click here to see the whole collection. (be sure to click the thumbnails for full size pictures these are gorgeous)

  

This is The Woodlands again by Khristian A. Howell for Anthology. Amazing diversity. I love the teeny bit of Japenese style these have. You can see the whole collection here.

Now about the Guinea Pig part. I am looking for a few people to help test a new software for me. I am going to branch out into a regular online shop (not Etsy) so that it is easier to order yardage and shipping is calculated more efficiently etc. I will still have the Etsy shop too this will be in addition. I don't want to launch it and have customers be frustrated if it doesn't work properly though. So I need people that like to dig around check all of the pages see if they can break it or what needs fixing, check spelling (Sasha) etc. So if you would like to volunteer I would like to get started testing on Monday. Leave a comment if you want to help me out.

Giveaways: Don't forget to go back to last Thursdays post and enter the two giveaways they both end tonight at midnight. Tomorrow I will have a new giveaway hosted by my friend Jackie so come on back y'all.

Talk soon!

Friday Fun Day... that means giveaway too

HI Everyone,

Would you care for a spot of tea? Jackie has outdone herself with this adorable fabric tea cup and saucer. Go take a look at her tutorial over at The Quilted Fish Blog and you can make one for yourself. I was thinking how cute it would be to hold little girl's hair ties.

I have been waiting not so patiently for 1001 Peeps to arrive and low and behold it came last night and brought a friend. So 1001 Peeps and Dazzle are both in the shop this morning. As soon as it gets light out here I will get some IRL pictures for the listings. But for now:

Aren't they super? Here are the two free patterns for these collections (I have seen both in person and they are so sweet):

1001 Peeps PDF

Dazzle PDF

I would, of course, be happy to kit these up for you.

On to the Giveaway.... hmmm what should I give away? How about a fat quarter bundle from any colorway you choose from either line? Okay that is a good one. Here's the rules:

1. Leave a comment any comment. Please leave only one comment. Please leave a way to reach you if you are a no-reply blogger.

I think that was pretty easy :) This one ends next Friday 6/17 at midnight (we will have a surprise winner announcer on Saturday).

I have other things coming from 1001 Peeps to give away but they haven't arrived yet so we will have to wait a little for those.

Have a super Friday!

Talk soon....
