TODAY'S FUN

WORKING WITH FLANNEL - TINY GIVEAWAY WINNER

I decided that I do not like working with flannel.

So for the next paragraph I will be griping about flannel. As some of you know I pre-washed it, that was a no no...although preshrinking is a great idea but I have these little beads all over the quilt.

Flannel stretches,
Flannel collects any type of debris around...strings, hair, dust, lint...you name it.
Besides all of that, I don't like how it feels.

Gripe session over!

I did this for a friend of my son's. Also included are two burp cloths.

The winner of the two exra pot of gold squares is Jennifer Gail from Hoodies and Flip Flops

Here it is adorning my tank....

Here it is up close
Hope all of you had a good Saturday!

TINY GIVEAWAY!

Today while I was making these.....



I made this quilt top. The only regret I have is that I prewashed this fabric and now it has all these little beads all over them. Doesn't look new and fresh.



So...I did more than two pots of gold but today I am offering to one of you these two pots of gold embroidery squares. Just leave a message.

I know what I am going to do with mine....do you have any ideas of what you would do with yours?

Moda Bake Shop Contest

I thought I took a picture of the trash can before it was covered. It was a dull gray can...uuuuuggggglllllyyyy!!!

So from Drab to Fab!!

The competition is called SLICED and you can find the rules at Moda Bake Shop. For this round, you have to use a Moda Precut, batting and a buckle. It has to be an office or studio Accessory.

I made a pillow for the back or bum. The buckle is in the back, it attaches the pillow to the back of the chair or bottom. I can not tell you how many times my butt pillow has fallen when I have gotten up. Really irritating, now it won't.

My bum will not know what to do sitting in such comfort.

The deadline is February 29th, let your creative juices flow and go on over and enter!!

Don't forget about my pattern giveaway below....

IT ALWAYS STARTS WITH A "WHAT IF" (Giveaway)

Some of you remember these little runners. They are made with the "Sunkissed" by Moda.


I had left over strips (a lot), they were sitting on my table for a while staring at me, more like me staring at them.

Once again my fabric was speaking to me, (does that mean I am crazy)?

This is where the "What if" comes in.

I couldn't help but stare back every time I would pass by them.

Then the "if" went into action.

I sewed three strips together, got my tumbler die out and started cutting. Then I thought, what if again....and started sewing the tumblers together. I am sure you have seen the smaller ones sewn together in a ring, well, here is the large tumbler die.

This is the end result from the Jelly Roll excluding the ruffle.

Then I started to think.....what if you could make this table topper with all Accuquilt Go dies....

and you can!!! The only difference is the weave in the middle is bigger (I will confess easier). The fabric for the blue topper I got at Inchworm Fabrics.
So.............. I am offering this pattern to 3 people, it will include the pattern for "non" Accuquilt Go owners as well as Accuquilt Go owners.

Here it is on my table.

So if you would like a chance at winning the pattern, just leave a comment. You will be able to find this pattern at Inchworm Fabrics as well. This giveaway will be open until Friday.
