Design Wall Monday~

Do you remember last week? I think it zipped by a little too fast! ;-) Can I have a re-do? LOL

I got the top for the November Schnibbles 'Picnic' together in just the nick of time! Whoohoo! 'Schnibbles' are small patterns designed for charm packs by Carrie of Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.
Sinta & Sherri had the idea of doing one a month for our own personal enjoyment. 'A Year of Schnibbles' was born! It's so much fun to sew with a group of ladies~ we keep each other on track and I'm actually finishing things~~ for me! :-) For November they chose the 'Picnic' pattern. I have been on a red/white kick lately and recently a friend sent me some some red/white FQ's that I was just itching to use~ so here is my 'Picnic'! :-) If you visit Sinta & Sherri's blogs tomorrow, you will be able to see a parade of Schnibbles. I love to see how others used the pattern. Enjoy!

And now my design wall is going to be occupied with MyBlueHeaven (pattern on QuiltersCache) blocks for a little swap I am doing with Bingo~Bonnie. Back to work with me! :-)

Check out other blogger's Design Walls at Judy L's~ Enjoy!

Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

Catching Up~

Whew! What a whirlwind it has been around here! DD is safely back at school now, so I can catch up! :-) We went to New Moon while she was home, shopped til I dropped, and had a very good time. :-)

But~ I am a little late in saying some big thank you's! :-/ First to Julie at jaybird quilts. Her Mom picked me in her recent giveaway and this came in yesterdays mail! :-) Thank you Julie and Sandy!! Two great magazines and a gorgeous charm pack! DD was pining over it, but I think I already have a plan for it. ;-) We'll see...

And Heather Mulder Peterson of Anka's Treasures gave away 10 copies of her newest pattern book through the Fat Quarter Shop~ and I came in as number 10! :-o Thank you Heather and the ladies of Fat Quarter Shop! I love the cover runner! Well, and all of them! I don't know where to start! ;-) Sorry the photo is a little blurry, apparently all my chandelier lights decided it was time to burn out! We have a very mellow dining room at the moment. LOL

And my good friend from TX sent this wonderful box~painted so pretty! And inside there was fabric! :-) I just love the tan/black paisley print! And she sent a redwork pattern and the cute buttons. It was a belated birthday box. How fun! Thank you! :-) Now I am off to put my feet in the air and do a little fun reading!
Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!

Thanksgiving Wishes~

I could not let the day pass without giving thanks to all of you! You make blogging fun! :-)

I hope you are each enjoying a fun day with your family & friends. Our turkey was great~ what's even nicer is that the kitchen elves pitched in and my kitchen is clean!! :-) LOL

Have a great evening and a safe & happy weekend~

Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

Design Wall Monday~

I'm a basket case!!! :-o

I finished all the baskets for the Schnibbles pattern 'Picnic'. Now to get them into a top! :-)

If you are looking for inspiration, check out all the design walls linked to Judy L's blog.

Happy Stitchin' and have a great week!

If You Guessed...

'Pick-i-nick' baskets, you are correct! Yogi can spot those anywhere! :-)) LOL

I'm working on the baskets for the next Schnibbles project (good guess Bonnie!)~ this month the pattern is 'Picnic' from the Schnibbles patterns at Miss Rosie's Quilt Company.
There are 4 different basket patterns to mix and match & choose from. I'm kind of wishing I hadn't chosen the large red/white print, but I just finished squaring up a pile of HST's and there is no changing plans now! ;-) I must get back to work~ there are a lot of those pesky HST's in this pattern! :-o Did I already mention that? Well, they are driving me a little loopy! :-)) LOL or 'crazy'! ;-)

Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

Thursday~ already!

The week is flying too fast for me! I have been sewing, but not much to show y'all yet. ;-) My turkey does have all his tail feathers~ I'm hoping to be quilting tomorrow. So maybe I will have him ready for showing in a few days. ;-)

Right now my cutting mat is covered in these~~ do you know what I'm doing?

I'll give you a little hint in my deep Yogi Bear voice~' hey BooBoo, what do you see?' LOL :-)

Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

~Mail!~

I joined the Fig Tree Club at The Quilt Shoppe ~~ Julie at jaybird quilts sent me! :-)) and I am so glad she did! It was just the little nudge I needed as I'd been debating about it for a while. Thanks Julie! :-) ~~ Anyway!~ my pkg arrived!! :-) Oh I just want to shove everything aside and play in these fabrics! I should have taken a photo of how nicely it was wrapped, but I was too excited to stop my fingers! LOL They sent along the issue of Fresh Vintage and I have read it from cover to cover~ three times already! :-) So many cute patterns/ideas in it! I'm in love! :-))
In other news~ I stitched on Mr Turkey's feathers last night~ I'm making progress! :-)

And as I was hopping around blogland I saw this post by Rachel at p.s. i quilt. I never thought of plate racks for displaying quilts, but isn't it cool?! How do you display your quilts? My friend was asking me that question just this weekend! I have them on the beds, of course, on the back on the couch, folded at the end of the loveseat, on the tables and hanging from curtain rods. I have this little rod in the hall. It is adjustable~ I can pull out the end to hang a full quilt. Or use the little clips to hang a few... I think I need to dress it up with some ivy or garland! It looks so bare! :-o So tell me~ where do you display your quilts? That's it for now~ I'm off to sew today! I need to finish a few things before I cut into my lovely new fabrics! ;-)

Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!
