I am so bummed that I have to part with the two amazing books that Barb & Mary from Me & My Sister Designs have donated. Just having them in my house has been fun!  But…if I have to part with them, at least I get to give them away to 2 of my awesome readers!

Congratulations to both of you! I will be sending you an email to get your shipping information.
Do you remember my little guessing game from yesterday?

For those of you who guessed that I was making a poodle skirt…you’re right!  It is for my precious Anne!  I haven’t followed a paper – store bought pattern in more than 15 years – so this should be interesting. It is also the first time I will be putting a zipper in a garment.  I am so glad my mom will be here to help me 🙂

I am so excited to make this for my baby girl! It will be fun, I just hope it turns out looking the way it is supposed to look.

On a completely different note – I follow the blog Lily Pad Quilting and she is doing a fabric charity drive to make school uniforms for children in Malawi Africa.

De-Stash 4 Malawi at LilypadQuiltingI have donated some thread and some fabric. If you have some fabric to spare in your stash, please consider participating!

I will be back tomorrow with a very cool blog post – I hope you will stop by and check it out!

Let’s play a guessing game… I’ll show you some pictures and you try and guess what I’m going to be working on this weekend!

A couple of hints:

1. It isn’t for me
2. My mom is flying in for a visit and will be helping me (she is a talented quilter AND seamstress)
3. I had one when I was younger

Did you figure it out?  I’ll tell you on Friday if you are right 🙂

Old Snowflake Tutorial

Today I have the pleasure and honor of participating in the Celebrate Christmas Quilt Along over at Quilting Gallery.

Celebrate Christmas Quilt-Along and Super Deals for QuiltersI was so honored when Michele asked me to be one of the designers that I immediately said yes. It took me awhile to decide which block to showcase, but after reading all the comments on my welcome post about people wanting to learn paper piecing, I thought that my Old Snowflake Block (originally designed by Nancy Cabot) would be perfect. It is super simple and a great introduction to paper piecing.

Let’s get started! …

I love Barb & Mary’s patterns and fabrics because they are so playful. They are perfect for almost any project I could want to do for my daughter, niece or nephews.  In fact, from the looks of their blog they have a new fabric coming out that I am positively drooling over: Twirl.  Check out these adorable butterflies that are part of the line:

Congrats on starting your new blog! I tend to sew flat items — quilts, potholders, placemats etc –and I am hoping to take the plunge and learn how to make totes.

I will be contacting you both via email.

On a completely different note…

Angela from Summerfield Quilts is hosting a Christmas Charm Swap

I have a love for Christmas fabric (don’t ask me why because I really don’t know) so I decided to sign up. At the end of the swap you will end up with 112 different charm squares. That is a lot of squares and I figured I could do something really fun with all that fabric.  If you are ready to get in the Christmas spirit go check it out!

Make sure you check in tomorrow because I have a special surprise up my sleeve!
