Where is the Traveling Stash Going?

Today is the day!  I'll bet you are wondering where the Traveling Stash is going??  Ok, then, I'll tell you................

                                                   The Lucky Number today is.........................



                                                                   DRUM ROLL!!!!!!!



                                                                                 ~~~ 1~~~



                    ....................................and the first commenter was...........................


                                                                     Sunny!


                                                             Congratulations!!!  :-)

I'll be back later with photo's. Last night I decided to start a red and white charm pack for the box, so I have to finish that up yet. :-o

I'll be emailing you Sunny~~ :-)

 Here's the photo of what i added to the box. I added squares to both the I Spy Kit and the Bug Jar kit and notes to ask those down the line to do likewise or start another kit. :-) I started a red/white charm pack, put in the Christmas FQ's, the vintage sheet FQ's and pieces, a few patterns and the Baker's Dozen book. I love the quilt on the cover of this book, so purchased another in the hope that someone down the line will too. ;-)

As you know, I took out the hexies  :-o and Robin Pandolph fabrics~ I already have a pattern picked. I am really coveting the blue sparkly fabric but am trying hard to resist... if everything doesn't fit bck in the box and something has to go, I tell you, that will be it! ;-)

Have a great day everyone and thank you all for joining in the fun! I wish there were boxes for all of you! :-) (but ah... the postage would be horrible!!) :-o 

Happy Stitchin'!

Uh-Oh I'm In Trouble....

                                                                            :-))


While putting all the things in the Traveling Stash back in the box, I took another look at these Hexagon pieces and thought, "oh, I can try them before sending the box on..."   Well  let me tell you that was a mistake!!  I just cut a few scraps and now I'm hooked! :-o  Now seriously, I am not going to make a whole quilt of these, but maybe enough for a little wall hanging... maybe. :-))




So I thought, I would add a little of my Christmas stash to the box. I cut these FQ's. Notice anything about my Christmas stash?  Yes, it appears I am drawn to green and glitz. :-o  No, they aren't meant to coordinate, but maybe some where along the next stops, someone will need some green Christmas prints. :-)




I did get a bit of sewing done over the weekend. Step 6 of The Crafty Unicorn's mystery quilt along is done. Now I am really wondering how all my pieces are going to go together! :-)



There is still time to get in on the drawing to be the next stop on the Traveling Stash box~ just leave a comment on THIS POST and tell me you'd like to have a chance.

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!!

The Traveling Stash~~ giveaway

Hello! Sorry it has taken me all week to get back here!  Lots of sewing is still going on, but more about that next time! ;-)

I was lucky and won Monica's drawing to be the next to receive the Traveling Stash box. :-) Monica posted about it here.  There are so many wonderful things in this box! My photo doesn't really do it justice.  Books, tools, fabrics, thread! Oh my!  I am pretty sure the collection of Robin Pandolph fabrics that Monica added will find their new home here. ;-) (on the bottom step)

Loads of goodies!  



      



I am going to add a collection of vintage sheet FQ's and pieces~ some aren't quite FQ size, sheets don't always cooperate when you cut them up, but they are good size pieces. The book 'A Baker's Dozen',  a few patterns and anything else I find between now and when I mail. ;-)



Now to get in on the fun~   
The rules are really very easy~~ 
  1. You must have a blog to participate.
     
  2. Due to shipping costs, you must live in the US (a flat rate priority box is the best way to go).  
     
  3. And you must agree to host your own giveaway with the Traveling Stash after you have taken what you want from the box and refilled it.
     
    Sound fair? And FUN? :-))

    Just leave a comment on this post and I will announce the next lucky winner on Thursday the 25th.

    Until next time~
    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...
