Thank you!

...for visiting, commenting and ala Golden Girls 'being a friend'!! :-)

I have a little fun for you~  :-)

Do you like making quick table toppers?
Which pattern do you like better?  Sorry, they are a little fuzzy. In real life they aren't~ I guess my camera isn't in focus. :-/

Which fabric set would you choose?
Half yards of summery fabrics or half yds of lilacs and hydrangeas?

Or would you rather have 4 FQ's of these vintage sheets?

Yup! Its giveaway time!  My blogiversary is in December, and I never remember until it is too late, so this is my half-blogiversary giveaway.  :-)  Do you have a holiday birthday?  My youngest DS does and when he was small he hated it because most of our family would combine his b-day and Christmas gift in one mailing.  One year he wanted a summer party, so we had a half-birthday party. It was great fun!  ;-)

 So leave me a comment telling me which pattern/fabric combo you would like to win, or if you'd like the vintage sheets.  I'll choose 3 winners on Monday, the first name I draw will get the pattern/fabric or sheet FQ's of her choice, the next person drawn will get the other pattern/fabric or sheets, and number 3 will get what ever is left. :-)  If you definitely do not want something, let me know that too. lol  Just one comment though. I will mail anywhere, but this giveaway is specifically for my followers (you can be one too!) ~ thank you for following me, for taking the time to comment, and for your friendship! :-)

Until next time~
Happy stitching!

Sewing Along

I finished Step 4 for the Simple Things Quilt Along.  I am really lovin' the vintage sheets!  The next step will be putting it all together, on Thursday~ tomorrow!  :-o  Does this week seem to be going too fast for you too?  LOL If it isn't that, then I am getting too slow~ and I don't think I am. LOL :-)

Hope you are having a great week!
I'll be back soon~  ;-)

Simple Things Catching Up

I'm doing the Simple Things quilt along with Kelly and Carol and finally finished all the pinwheel blocks for Step 3.  The good news is, Step 4 is halfway done too!  I just couldn't stop myself once i got behind the machine yesterday. :-)  I am having so much fun playing in my vintage sheet stash! 

I hope you are having a fun weekend too!
Until next time~
Happy Stitching!

Thursday~

Yesterday was Thimbleberries Sew Day~ I know Barb sewed, and so did Kim. I love both of their projects!! I, ahem, didn't get much done. :-o  Mr Crazy and I have been having one of 'those' weeks~ you know the ones~ when everything under the sun seems to be packed into each day! Dentist appts, Dr appt's, DD came home for a little visit, house painter's here, etc etc~ today we are getting new rain gutters. Exciting huh? lol  The house painter's aren't quite finished~ they will be back next week, but the majority of their work is done. Whew! 

My Thimbleberries Sew Day plan was to work on this quilt~ Double Duty in Miss Rosie's Spice of Life Quilts book by Carrie Nelson. Unfortunately, I only got 4 little blocks finished.  I hope to do better next month! Mark your calendars for the 27th of July!! :-)

I did get a "sweet" squishy in the mail yesterday!  Jenny from Cut.Sew.Iron.Repeat had a little giveaway for some scraps of Sweetwater's new line Hometown.  They are such cute fabrics! I see some small scrappy bags in my future! ;-)   Thank you Jenny!!!

I hope you are finding a little time to sew today!
Until next time~
Have a happy day!

Charming Girls Finishes~

My bad, I don't think I ever blogged about my Charming Girls Club Goals for May and June. :-o  So we will make it an all-in-one post! lol

There are certain things I need to do every month~ the BOM blocks I'm doing with a friend for the HGTV message board. I got them both done. And July's is waiting for Friday.

May block

June block

I'm doing the Birdie Stitches BOM from Little Miss Shabby. Here is Jun's, but they both were finished. The next one will come out Friday. ;-)

 I'm doing the Simple Things quilt along with Kelly at Charming Chatter and Carol at Brown Quilts. I'm almost ready for the next step, but I'm keeping up!! Yay!

I am working on the Mystery in Quiltmaker magazine. I've almost got step 2 done and then I will show you in another post... maybe that should be a July goal? 

 Finally, I've been making the Le Petite projects each month. This was June's pattern Ric Rac a Schnibbles pattern by Carrie nelson. I turned the wall hanging into two pillows. ;-)









 Let's see what else did I do?  Oh! Silly me! I got a new sewing machine and I've been playing!! ;-)))

I hope you've had some fun in May and June too!
Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!

~~Tomorrow~~

Is Thimbleberries Sew Day!  Are you sewing? :-)  If you are sewing something in Thimbleberries fabrics, or using a Thimbleberries pattern and your own fabrics, we'd love to see it!!  Barb at Bejeweled Quilts by Barb and I started this sew day last year, because we both love Thimbleberries! :-))

Unfortunately, I will be out for a bit tomorrow. BUT if you leave me a comment and let me know you are sewing~ I'll stop by!  If I get time, I plan to work on some log cabin blocks that I've added a lot of my T-berrie stash to. :-)   I'll be back tomorrow with photo's!!

Have a happy day!

June Le Petite Project Finished

And if you guessed that this~

was turning into these~

you were right!! :-)  I didn't use a pattern, just flew by the seat of my pants. lol :-) I wanted to try 2 different ways to make the rolled pillow~ one way has a kind of yo-yo at the side and closes with a ribbon. Easy.

The other has a zipper set in and the sides are set in circles. A little more challenging, but do-able. :-)  They aren't perfect, but look much better than our current pillows! lol  The hardest part was the seams where the trim comes together... that was a lot for my machine to handle and yes, I did break a needle. Oh~ and no, I did not use my newest machine. ;-))
That's all for now,
Until next time~

Have a happy weekend!
