Sewaholic pattern and fabric giveaway
The kids are back in school this week and while I haven't been counting down the hours 'til the kids go back to school, I have to admit that I have a lot more time to think all of a sudden. And when I have time to think, I often think about projects I'd like to make for myself that maybe I p...

Crafterhours I Spy quilt squares giveaway and Denyse Schmidt book winner
Spoonflower I Spy Assortment: Alloy Set, from Crafterhours I normally think of spring as my dress sewing season, not my quilting season. The weather is staying warm now, my garden is in full bloom, and the idea of pretty printed cottons against my skin is mighty appealing. Uncharacteristical...

Denyse Schmidt's Modern Quilts book giveaway and Hat Shop giveaway winner
Denyse Schmidt provided one of my earliest introductions to the modern quilting movement. I love that she derives inspiration from vintage quilts and designs since these are dear to me already, but she cleans them up for the current quilter so that things look both familiar and fresh. I've gi...

WhimseyBox giveaway and craft business book winner
To me, one of the unexpected benefits of Stephen having started Spoonflower is that he is now well-versed in all things crafty and sewing-related. If not actually a practicing member of the sewing obsessed tribe himself, he is fluent in the language and customs. This is mighty handy around gif...

WOW! I can hardly wait to see all the fabrics more clearly! Very exciting! Wouldn't this be a fabulous Christmas present!
My current quilt project is a baby quilt for my nephew's new baby - the first baby of this generation in our family. I've been interrupted by little Christmas projects such as lined drawstring bags! After Christmas ... back to the baby quilt.

I have some quilts planned. At least one wedding quilt ... maybe two. One baby quilt and one "test quilt" (because I'm new to this). Now that I look at it, I might perhaps be a little over ambitious. There are two other quilts I MUST make before Christmas, too. HA!
