BARB'S ORIGINALS.....

I was asked to make two baby quilts in Samoan fabrics. The little gal that is getting this has pink polka dots in her room. So I just thought of dots and more dots in Samoan fabrics. I just love it...the back is the pink border. I need to take off the blue markings and it will be ready. Each quilt has a matching tote.



I was already working on my turtle quilt (some of you have asked for the pattern, this is the quilt for the cover)....but now it is sold. Tweeking the instructions...so it will be coming to you soon.

I HAVE A NOTION

I usually do have a notion about something but today I am going to talk about kelly over at "I Have A Notion".....yep....she is missing a bolt too. If I were to guess, there are alot of us out there missing a bolt or two.



She is having an amazing giveaway. As you look at my post you will see all the wonderful things she is giving away.

Sizzling circles....


Quilt Wizzard....



Thread Carousel....



Iron...



These are very expensive items. This is her One Year Annivesary giveaway and she just wanted to share it with us.....she is giving away 30 days of things. Why am I blogging about this? sure, I would love to win everything she is giving away..... I am blogging because she is so awesome, she will not only go out of her way to assure you customer satisfaction but she will go out of her way to be a great friend to you.

So go over there, meet Kelly, support her giveaway....blog about it...tell your moma, poppa, sista, brotha....and even your dog...just tell someone and give her some quilting love!!

This message was not approved by Kelly of I have a Notion, no extra points will be received or given out......due the the extent of her awesome giveaway someone had to leak to the blogging world the truth!!

Did you know....

That there is only one Post Office on the Island of Amerika Samoa? We had a small one but it was destroyed in the tsunami.

Did you know....

That we do not have mail delivered to our homes...so no mailman.
We have to go to Pago to the Post Office to pick our mail up.

Did you know.....

That there are only two flights out of Amerika Samoa and only one takes packages?

So if you see that I get alot of stuff, it is just that it all comes in on the same plane...sometimes these packages have been waiting forever to get here. If by some chance they have the privilege of going by boat....it will take longer.

So....this is what I got this week.

My friend Barb from Nana Barb Musings sent me this magazine, she said she had two. She also mentioned tutoring someone in trigonometry....HUH????? Thanks for thinking of me Barb....

Did you know, she was one of my first blogging friends? Yep....been almost two years now.



The next is from Quilt Taffy. I discovered that she carries the schnibbles and so I go to her for all my schnibble needs....and while I was there, I found this awesome fabric..... As you can tell, I could not resist.



I won these patterns over at Creativity Amongst Chaos
Thanks so much, I love these patterns....



Next is my friend Janes (she says I can call her friend)....over at Janes Fabrics and Quilts
Now Jane is pretty smart, on her right sidebar she puts some of her fabric she has in her store....and these eyes of mine could not resist so off I went. Jane...get rid of that....too tempting.... I will have to do the 12 step program if you continue.



Then my apologies to my BFF Pat, she sent me some lighthouse panels and I want to show them to you but...by George if I can find them..... I put them somewhere, I was contemplating on making pillows out of them. sorry pat.... That is what happens when I get organized....so maybe being a pig is not so bad after all.

Did you know, that I cleaned my sewing room? So hence the problem above is consequences of that act.

I won't fault you......I won't hold a grudge if you say....

That girls lights are on but nobody is home!



That girl has a lose bolt!



She is one card short of a full deck...no I won't fault you or have bad feelings...



I know, you are saying, why is this girl going on in such a way.....because of these.....(this is for the Woman's organization Birthday party this Tuesday evening)...yep ...you heard right....tomorrow........is this insanity or what?




I am making 60 of them to make these fridge magnets....I still have to make the cute card with a saying to go in the little magnet for the fridge....what was I thinking?



I am trying to resist making a leaf for each one....so will someone please turn off the lights, return my missing card and tighten that lose bolt...PLEASSSSSSSEEEEEE
