Sew Day~ part 2

You know the saying 'even the best laid plans..'?  Well that was my day! ;-)  I did get a few stitches sewn on the vines in this topper.   But the majority of today was spent...

cookie making! DS aka my cookie monster wanted to make some cookies and so we teamed up and made 14 dozen! Hopefully there will be some left for him to take back to school. lol

Thanks Terry,  Lindsay,  Sharon,  and Linda for sewing with me today! :-) I am headed to my chair to work on the vines some more. :-)

Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!!

Its Thimbleberries Sew Day!

Is anyone sewing today?  It's a free-sew day, so whatever you are working on; Thimbleberries or not~ let me know so we can visit! :-)

Happy last Wednesday of 2010!!

I'll be back~~ ;-)

December Le Petite~

I wasn't sure I'd get it together~ but I sewed today!! :-) This Prairie Point Tree was designed by Cara and was a project at the Moda Bake Shop. Sinta and Sherri picked it as our December Le Petite project.

I made mine small. And purposely didn't use any holiday fabric so I could keep it up through the winter. Hopefully I will get it quilted this week yet, but just in case~ my top is done! :-) I had a couple cardinal buttons that I'll add when its quilted.

Thanks for stopping by~
Hope you have a wonderful New Year!

Next Thimbleberries Sew Day~

~is this Wednesday!  Do you have something to work on? It can be a pattern using Thimbleberries fabrics, or a Thimbleberries pattern using fabrics of your choice. Please let me know if you will be sewing so I can come and visit! :-)

I will be working on this darling wall hanging~

Patty @ momloves2quilt had a giveaway a while back and when I saw these Thimbleberries goodies I got my name in her hat! And I won! :-) Thank you so much Patty! I think it was destiny that these came to play with me as I have the book the wall hanging came from~ and I even had a marker in the spot! It was on my to-do list. :-) You've gotten me over halfway there!

I hope you all had a joyous Christmas! We sure did! Thanks for all your comments on my new 'baby'~ I haven't figured out a name yet, but I'm sure I will. ;-)

Hope I see you Wednesday!
Have a happy week!

Merry Christmas!

Thank you to all my wonderful followers and friends for a year of fun! I appreciate your visits and comments more than you could ever imagine!  My wish for each of you is happiness, health and many blessings. Merry Christmas!

Santa knew he would be really busy tonight, so he stopped by a little early to my cottage. :-)  And this is what he left!!~~

WOW! I must've been better than I thought I was! LOL  :-))

Actually, I had been dreaming of my own longarm for years, and DH was planning to surprise me~ but I didn't think it would happen until maybe next year. Yup, 30 years and he can still surprise me! :-))  I've already done a little test run on a table runner and I love it! It is going to be so wonderful to be able to quilt at home and not have to plan time to rent at the LQS. :-) I'm on cloud 9!

Until next time~
Merry Christmas!!

Snowmen and Snowflakes

Two of my favorite things! :-)

I am hosting a swap on the HGTV Quilting and Needlework message board for 10.5 inch  fabric squares. If you've never been to the message board go HERE.  You have to join/log in to see the photo's, but it is well worth your time. The ladies make amazing quilts and are a very friendly, helpful bunch. :-)

If any of my blog readers would like to join us, just let me know and I'll email the guidelines to you. :-)

Until next time~ Have a happy day!

~Royal mail~

It's here! :-) I won this book in a giveaway QuiltSue had last month. I've never received mail from the UK and wondered how long it would take to get to the western US. Wonder no more! It's here!  :-))  And sweet Sue included a few extra's!  I love the Snap Happy bag she made!  And chocolate treats! ;-))

Thank you so much Sue!
