RE THINKING, THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS

Yesterday I got the Pin Curl Quilt (see picture on post below this one) pinned and ready to quilt.

One thing that I did not like about the Pin Curl pattern is that there were a lot of left over scraps...so this is what I am doing with my scraps.... (really scrappy huh???)  I was going to do them in nine patch but re thought it and ended up with this.


 Then as I had said in a previous post, my sister, Beverly made the Pin Curl quilt in her Marblelicious fabrics and I asked for her scraps (well...she volunteered the fabric and I said no...then re thought it and asked for it a few days later).  Here is what I am doing with hers.

No...Beverly, you can not have your scraps back!!!



Have any of you been to Inchworm Fabrics lately?  If not...you really should go and take a gander....

I did, had to re think my order several times....and oh...how I love this fabric....did I say extremely love???  Accuquilt has the Train die (which I have) and it would go perfect for this fabrics....can't wait to get it.  Not like I don't have enough to do.


  Then there are these owls...oh my stinking gosh....


Her prices are amazing, these are five dollars a  yard...sold by the half yard ...

Also, did any of you know that Island Batik has a free pattern site?  Quilted In Honor  - loves these quilts, wonderful for our Wounded Warriors, Operation Homefront, and Quilts of Valor...great patterns for all of these.

Can't you tell I am so indecisive today...don't know if I want to quilt the Pin Curl quilt, work on my scraps or Beverly's....or clean house....gosh...what is a gal to do?????

"HAPPY TOWN FABRICS" another giveaway of these wonderful fabrics!!

Let's not waste time here...the winner of the four fat quarters is "Dancing thru Threads", need your address Sharon.

 Thanks so much to all of you for coming by and commenting, sorry I did not respond to your comments but please know they were greatly appreciated!!

 Now on to round TWO I told you once I had another project done that I would do another giveaway...well...here goes....ready for the ride? 

 
 I am giving away this panel....

and six fat quarters, maybe this will inspire someone to enter the "Quilts for Kids" contest using these "Happy Town" fabrics by Jacquelynne Steves for Henry Glass. 

 I can not thank Jacquelynne enough for this opportunity to give away fabric and to make things with this wonderful fabric.  The contest rules are on the side bar....just click and you will be transported.

You and I both know that working with fabric is such a pleasure, working with good quality fabric is even more of a pleasure.

 So...this is what I created with her fabrics. The only fabric that is not Henry Glass is the white. How stinking cute are these????  Got out my trusty Accuquilt Go cutter and just went to town.

What an appropriate name for these fabrics "Happy Town"....just using them makes one happy....happy happy joy joy!!

That orange is just to die for....that dog and cat fabric....ummmm ummmm good. It is all savory. As always the quilts are prettier up close and personal.
I do hope that some of you will enter the "Happy Town" contest.  Maybe I will just send these to them?

 I have not decided what I am going to do with these quilts.

 If you also notice on my sidebar, I have a spot for Green Fairy Quilts Charity. Every since I found out about their Charity, I have been a fan. So....these may go to them.  If you have time to watch the video, it would be well worth it to do so. 


 There is the Homefront Baby Showers,sewcalgal/; brought this to the forefront over Christmas. KaHolly did a post on the Homefront here in Texas, right here in San Antonio is a chapter.

 Now I am torn.....

 Then my friend Gene Black does a charity drive during Christmas for the teen shelter (Angel Quilts)...but I think these are too small for that.

There is always the Linus program as well...

.if you want to enter the giveaway, leave a comment and please go and visit Jacquelynne, The Noble Wife. She has a newsletter that is so fun. Hope you find time to go there and sign up. As you can see by her fabrics, she is one creative person and well worth the visit.  This giveaway will end Wednesday Feb. 15th.
