JUST A LITTLE UPDATE (GIVEAWAY)

Here is where I am at on the puzzle.

My husband came in the room the other day and sat down to work on it. Now....he doesn't do puzzles and he doesn't know puzzle etiquette. I saw him eye balling my section. So....I took my hand, waved it over the little section I was working on and said....you can work on any part of this puzzle but right here. You never invade someone's space when doing a puzzle.

 Am I right?

 So....the next thing I knew he found the very piece I was looking for.....He was so pleased he almost jumped for joy..... Hummmmmmm  my comment to that is...  he doesn't play well with others and doesn't follow rules.


Now...I want you all to look at this fabric and the price....can you guess where I purchased this?

You won't believe it but at BIG LOTS....  They have a little craft section and well...I just decided take a look see and boy did my eyes bug out of my head.....

so....I want to share the find, I will give one winner the choice of either fat quarters.  Not giving the roll away..sorry.

So just leave a comment and let me know which one you would like.

FRIEND OR FOE?

Upon leaving Virginia a real sweet friend gave me this puzzle.

Last night I decided to pull it out and work it up. Now I am wondering if she is friend of Foe....

 This is me whinning here...."This is without a doubt one of the hardest puzzles I have ever put together!"


 Is she secretly laughing in the corner?
 

With each piece comes a new fabric and I think to myself...oh...I want that fabric....or that one.

So....if I go missing for a while, you know where I will be....why not come over and put a piece in yourself?

Have a great day!!

Wall hanging

Here is the wall hanging I made from my birdhouse pattern. Made totally from scraps except the backing fabric. The problem with scraps....sometimes there is not enough for binding....hummmmmmm

On another note.....I was so excited that I was able to comment on blogs...things were going great and then POOF!!! Not a happy camper. I think a trip to Joann's is in order....

DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT!!!

That is me....I was suppose to have the winner picked for last night...hummmm Well the winner is Hetty from Crafts and Stuff....... Thanks to all of you who entered.  If you are interested in the pattern it is at Inchworm Fabrics

This picture is what I am doing with some left over fabric from the fandango line. I just finished a top and I loved the fabrics so much that I am making a round runner. Haven't had much sew time with sons visiting but they are going away for the week-end....so maybe ?????

I was so impressed with "Charlie, Dee, and Me" blog, she had a post where she was determined to use every scrap of fabric she used for a quilt.  I want to do that....I want to be able to say....I have no more.  But....that "AINT" happening....but I can always dream.  Talk about a cute blog.....go check her out...just adorable.

I am having computer issues...I have given on commenting ....  some I can come I can't, the page turns white, can't scroll...very frustrating.  Just so you know why I haven't been by.

NEW PATTERN AND GIVEAWAY

Soooo I told my sister that I would wait for her to put this pattern in her store...... I didn't really tell an untruth...well....gosh sakes.... I can't wait until tomorrow...tooo excited.

So you get two patterns (this pattern is 20 pages long)....oh my stinking gosh!!  I can't even believe it myself.
Now you know where I have been.....  I did the topper first and then thought...oh......wouldn't it be cute as a quilt...

My husband looked at me kinda funny when I had the topper just ironed down and not stitched....

I was very very worried but when it saw it finished, his eyes lit up....he is my person I go to for critiques and when he doesn't like something I get worried.

This was so fun to watch come together.  Now my son Nathan didn't like how I had the poles situated on the birdhouses but I told him that I tried to center them but it just didn't look right....so my comment is....if you do this pattern...."Do it your way!".....it is your party and you can do what ya want.

Oh...and don't you just think if you chose three birdhouses that it would be a cute wall hanging?  Or rectangle runner...yes...I was going to do a rectangle runner but ...well...I want to go on to other things.  You know me and staying focused.....I can only hold my attention span so long and then I am off again.

my son is hiding behind that quilt....HA!!!  

So to one person I will give this pattern , it is pdf so I can send it right over.  Just leave a comment and I will chose a winner when Jeanette gets the pattern in her store, so probably tomorrow night I will chose a winner.

DO I HAVE SOMETHING FABULOUS TO SHOW YOU!

You guessed it.....got sidetracked....

making these blocks.  I just couldn't help myself.  Looks time consuming doesn't it...what if I told you that this technique makes this a cake walk!
 
Got ten squares out of one jelly, make a nice baby quilt.

Here is the block again but made with just four of the same fabrics.
I do hope you watch the video...  You will be so surprised how easy this block is to make.

Missouri Star Quilt Company has some of the best quilting videos out there.  Just about every day
I check their store to see their deal of the day...you can get some amazing deals.

Now....do I want to get my go cutter out and cut up the rest of the blue fabric or do I sit and finish the design I have been working on?  What to do...what to do?????

My five fat quarter giveaway is the post below this one.
