Happy Mail!

Coffee? or Tea?
I am a tea lover and one of my favorite tea blogs is 
Angela does book reviews, talks tea and cookies,has delightful tea sets and is just a
really fun blog. She had a few giveaways during December and I was the lucky winner of this one~

Tea inspired cards, napkins and a really cool cellulose cloth that I am currently using at my machine as a mug rug. :-)  Thank you so much Angela!
In the winter instead of coffee lattes, I am all over Chai tea lattes!  Yum!
I have even hooked hubby. LOL Shhh--don't tell him I told! :-)

I hope you had a very merry Christmas!
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

Secret Sewing Reveal

One of the secret projects I worked on was this fun quilt 
by Joanne who blogs at Canuck Quilter.
The minute I saw the pattern I knew I wanted to make it Christmasy!
 
This is Starlight Plaid~~
 


The hardest part was trying to get a good photo! The red is actually a stripe. :-)
I didn't get it quilted for Christmas this year, but it is on the top of the pile of tops I need to get quilting. ;-)

Check out the pattern at Joanne's shop while it is on sale~

Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

DECEMBER!!!

Ok, I was yelling. LOL How did it get to be December already??!!
I am so behind!  And I know I have been neglecting my blog too. I really want to blog more... maybe if I planned it out a bit~?  How do you get yourself to sit down and blog often?

I have been busy! And DH caught a whopper of a cold, which gave him an ear infection.  He did get the flu shot but the cold caught him before the shot had time to take full effect.  I had gotten my shot earlier than him, and although he tried to share, ;) I managed to only get a 3 day cold. Lost my voice a bit and it left as quickly as it came on. Yay!

So I sent the grandkiddoes aprons for their holiday 'helping mom bake'. ;-) I even included a little jar of sprinkles, smaller utensils and cookie mix and frosting. LOL Not sure if Mom & Dad appreciated the frosting, but how else will the cute sprinkles stick? :-)
The embroidery design was from a Kimberbell class I attended. I made the aprons ahead of time using kitchen towels.  My DDIL sent me a photo of the kids in their aprons and they fit perfectly! Yay!

The nose is sparkly vinyl :-)
 
I have also done a few pattern tests that I cannot show you yet. I embroidered a bunch of hand and flour sack towels, but I guess I forgot to take a photo of them too. :-o 
 
This gorgeous panel is from PB Textiles and I won it in an Instagram giveaway.  Pinch me!!
I love it and hope to be stitching on it once the house is decorated, cookies made, a few gifts finished... sigh... you get the idea. ;-)

That's all for today but I will go take photos of those towels for next time!
Until then~
Happy Stitchin'!!

B-r-r-r-r

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
