It is My Day!
Welcome blog hoppers!
First, a special thanks to Carol @Just Let Me Quilt for organizing such a fun hop! Gadgets~ they come in all shapes and sizes, some were made especially for sewing/quilting, and some were not. ;-) I love finding things not made for quilting, but are oh so very useful! Today I have one of each for you~
I love my Crafter's Edge Crossover 11 machine and dies. I use it all the time! This month I made an autumn table runner with the Equilateral Triangle die and Alphabet Dies.
Sorry for the wrinkles! :-o I am just home from a retreat and will soon be off again on another adventure! :-) (I really need to stay home and quilt!) LOL I cut up a bunch of autumn scraps and had so much fun sewing them together! I think I am going to quilt autumn leaves on it. What would you do?
Can you guess what I use my 2nd 'gadget' for?
Need a hint? :-)

No more stiletto rolling away, or bobbin or anything! It is perfect! I actually have 2~ one for my sewing machine and one for my embroidery machine. They are quite inexpensive, the teal one was approx $3 at Ross. :-)
And, if you have read this far~ thank you!!~ I am going to send the teal one to one of you, just drop a comment below. :-) It won't show up right away, I had to turn on comment moderation because I was getting some spam. ;-)
I will draw sometime next week. Good luck!
And thank you for stopping by!
Enjoy the hop! Here are today's other 'hoppers'~

I'm a Travelin' Gal!
Two posts in one day!
I hope it brings rain! ;-) We are in need.
I also hope you have been visiting the blogs in the blog hop in my previous post. Some very cute ideas and you might find a giveaway too! Also be sure to come back Thursday on my day because you WILL find a giveaway here. ;-) ;-)
This month I have been on the road a lot!
I got back from another retreat and wanted to share some of the projects with you. They were all so fun! I will share more of my projects after the hop.
One of the gals worked on this quilt. She based it off of an Eleanor Burns pattern~ she also made some cute pillow shams to go with it but I didn't get that pic.
My friend Toni, no blog, worked on 3 Yard Quilts from the books with that title. I am not sure which book this came from but I loved it. It made ideas spin in my head! I have a couple really cute border prints~ wouldn't a border print be awesome where she has the red poinsettias? I am not sure if I would do pinwheels, or maybe take something from the border print. :-)
This is the design wall filled with American Hero tops! I overlapped the red borders to get three on. All together the girls made 5 tops! Four of the retreaters belong to the same guild and the guild made the corner star blocks. Once finished the quilts go to our local military hospital for servicemen/women who are there recovering from injuries they received while deployed.
And finally, one of my projects. :-)
This is a Sew Sweetness pattern called 'The Chickadee Backpack'.
I made it in Batman fabric for my DGS. I embroidered the logo with my embroidery machine. I think I found the design on Etsy. :-) I had everything cut out before I went and it was a pretty quick sew! The inside has a couple zipper pockets and there is also a mesh pocket in the outer pocket.
I am hoping he will love it! :-)
Are you following it? I am loving all the projects and ideas!
Until then~
Happy quiltin'!!

Christmas?
Are you thinking ahead to Christmas? (I am!)
Making lists? (yes!)
Already sewing? (yes!)
This month from Pineapple Fabrics I received a kit called 'Christmas Birdies' to make a holiday quilt!
Red, green, gold! Oh my! And birds! Red cardinals!
I just love the fabric pack....
The pattern is called 'The Supereasy Quilt' and I do believe it will be!
How can it not when you start with pre-cut squares?
I am not sure I will get to sew today, but this fun quilt will get worked on this week!
Stay tuned! :-)
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!
