THIMBLEBERRIES NIGHT OF SEWING!!!

Yes, you heard that right!!! Yes, I do get stuck on one thing and can't let it go...sometimes someone needs to slap me on the back because I keep repeating the same things over and over..and doing the same things over and over...and over....did I say over (hit me now)....

I LOVE THIMBLEBERRIES..... I have said that...you are right!! Well Sandi over at Crazy bout Quilts and I were emailing back and forth about our love of Thimbleberries..... She said let's make a sew day once a month. I wrote back and asked her if she was funning me....not to toy with my emotions.

She wrote back and said she was serious. So we decided on the last Wednesday of each month...Starting the 27th. You can do what ever, work with their fabrics, pattern, finish a project, and then post what you are working on on your blog for all to see or what you want to work on.

Oh yes, Sandi has all the bases covered.....I sat by and ate her dust as she did all the grunt work. She wrote Thimbleberries and got permission. She made the button...so steal the button and put her blog on there or mine, no matter. Just come by and tell us if you want to join and then let us know when you post each month. Simple.....Simple ..... Simple

That being said.....I can't decide on this pattern out of the book Gene sent me



Or this pattern I picked up at a quilt store in Texas????????



Maybe my day will be spent deciding on which one and what fabrics???

To be honest, I am having bad sew days lately, I just ruined a quilt just this week, I started it on Monday and by Tuesday I was a wreck...needless to say, I am giving the sqares away to a young girl to practice her blanket stitching on......Sheesh!!!

SICK OF BUTTONS YET?

Since those sewing buttons went over really well, I have decided to add a few more but these are going at 75 cents a card. The sewing buttons are still at 90 cents for my viewers. I do not have these added to my site yet. I am going to add some for cheaper than 75 cents but for now...the buttons you see below, that is the price.


Am I shamless or what...but if I can find a deal and share it with you, why not?

I also have 1/4 inch rick rack, white, black, and yellow, only the black and white are in the store but it is going for 50 cents a yard or 40 cents to my blogger friends. I have ten yard each.

Remember to click for a better view....

I will try to make this the last business post for a while. Thanks for your patience in my indulgence of buttons.
