AMAZING SISTERS!!! ANOTHER GIVEAWAY!!!

For those of you that have been reading my blog awhile, you have heard me talk of my amazing sisters.

  Two older, Jeanetter from Inchworm Fabrics and her blog,
 Margaret from Average Quilter,
 then my younger sister Beverly of Quilters Corner.
  Each sister has their own nitch in the quilting world.

As you see, Jeanette has her own store, Margaret has her own longarm quilting and embroidery business, and Beverly just recently got a longarm.

My mother is just as amazing, she is the long time quilter, she use to tailor clothes and make all of us girls clothes for school.  Happy Mother's Day to all of my sisters and mother!!!

Jeanette just recently wrote up the pattern for this quilt "Oklahoma Twister"...what a fitting name.

 .  

 Here it is made up

 Put your blinders on....


Here is my square....this was so fast, fun, and the pattern is so easy to understand.   I am trying to put the breaks on myself and not cut out enough squares for a quilt.  Why....because I have soooooooooooooooo much to finish.  So her making this pattern is a true motivator for me...gonna get a few things done and then I am going to make a quilt and in my lime green....Ooooo la la

Jeanette is giving away a pattern on her blog and I am giving away one here.  If you don't want to wait that long you can go to her store.

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL MOTHER'S DAY!!!!

MY NEW TOY!!!!!

Pfaff Creative Sensation 5.5…..and I love love love it.

Yes, the table  is a mess, it seems that every time we bring a load in from San Antonio that my tables and any surface areas get loaded up and then it takes me a while to clean it off….poor me (smiling).
 It will be this way for a while anyways until I get my sewing room and even after, right now I can use the move as an excuse.  I will have to think of another when I actually get some space to sew in…

My husband and son laugh at me because the first thing I did when I got here was set up a sewing space and then this little beauty joined me.

 

Don’t you think the leaf would make a great quilt with the leaf squares and some green Samoan fabric for sashing???? 

I had a few learning curves and there are still some curves ahead but I have my sister down the road Beverly from Quilters Corner and Marjorie at Marjorie’s Quilting Bee and a few other blogging friends  like Gene from Gene Black and Alabama Artist that offer help when I need it.

I know that some of you may be weary of ebay but this is where I get all of my machines.
I have gotten some awesome deals and this is one of them.  It only had 60 hours when she sold it to me.  She said it was too much of a machine for her. 

One little tip my sister, Jeanette from Inchworm Fabrics  gave me (she is the one that got me hooked on ebay and showed me what to look for)… she said…usually when someone ask a lot for shipping hardly anyone bids and she was soooooooooooooooo right.  No one bid on this, the shipping was high but I knew how much I wanted to spend and I was not going one penny over and that included shipping.  I couldn’t understand why the same machine would have over 30 bids and this one had none until I remembered what she had told me.   I say....LUCKY ME!!!

It is 33 degrees outside and I am so much like a reptile, when it gets cold, I move sooooooooo slow.  Actually, I just want to find a place to curl up in until it warms up.
