Happy Monday! 15% off sale

Hi Everyone,

I hope your weekend was not spent like mine... taxes and inventory... yuck! I did get a few seconds to sew though. I will show you below... first I wanted to show you this adorable mug rug that Miss Brooke (hint hint you might want to take a cruise by her blog...hint hint) made with the new Desert Daydreams prints... that coffee bean print is my favorite (it looks like sequins to me)

I am such a sucker for teal. This is available in Brooke's etsy shop too :)

I am getting so far behind with what is going on in blog land... wow just so much stuff! I love the beginnnig of the year when everyone has such bright new ideas!

Here is what I got to sew over the weekend:

This is the second block in the Stash Bee that Sunni is running (she is looking for more pople to fill up Hive #3 if you are interested)

Here is the signature block that goes along

I thought I would show you last months sig block too since I hadn't yet.

Oops forgot to mention the 15% off President's day sale use this coupon LINCOLN15

Have an amazing Monday!

Talk soon!

Happy Monday

Wow! I am actually doing a Monday post... it has been weeks.

How was your weekend? Mine was a bit busy. Saturday was the monthly meeting of the Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild. We are so fortunate to have so many talented people in our guild. One of those is our Joy-Lily. She is the author of this book:

You can pick up a copy at amazon. (I used Joy-Lily's link so she would get the amazon credit :) )

Joy-Lily spoke to us about her book and about the process of getting published. It was a great time. Then we got a fun trunk show of the quilts from the book... here are a couple of my favorites:

Afterwards we had cake and Joy-Lily graciously signed books for us. (I bought one and you can bet there will be a little Friday happiness happening here with it... if you know what I mean ;) )

Thank you again Joy-Lily!

Normally my husband and I host a Superbowl party but this time he had to leave for a business trip early in the morning on Sunday. So I actually got to stitch for a few minutes. I am a tiny bit late with Sunni's block from the Stash Bee for January... but I think it came out pretty cute...

Don't tell me who won the Superbowl I recorded it and will watch it with the super hubby on Saturday :) Now I will make like an ostrich so I don't hear about it :)

Have an amazing Monday!

Talk soon!

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 :)
