Our Pass It On winner Is……

Carin ~ is the pick to be the first to get the Snowman pattern.  To the rest of you ~ don’t be sad because when Carin is finished with it, she is going to be passing it on and it might just go to you! (Carin please email me your snail mail address so that I can pass it on….)

 Onto quilting news~

There’s nothing like meeting up with a  fellow quilter  and show and telling over a Starbucks’ coffee~ which is just what I did yesterday morning.   Delores is a wonderful, talented  quilter and of course I have pictures to prove it!!  Look at this gorgeous Christmas wall hanging- just stunning! 

The pictures do not do this lovely, little quilt justice…

What is striking about this wall hanging are the little details, like the beaded halo…

..the sweet little buttons…

more beads and sequins…so lovely!  Well done, Delores!  I can’t wait for our next coffee date! (and I’m bringing my camera, so get sewing!)

Snowman sighting!!  Three guesses what I have have been working on….

Yup!  You can NEVER have too many snowmen!

 

There’s snow body like a snow buddy!

Remembrance Day~

Finally, I just wanted to mention that in Canada, November 11 is Remembrance Day. My Grade One class said it best…we wear a poppy  to remember those Service men and women who fought so bravely in past wars and for those who are now currently serving.  Some paid the ultimate sacrifice to help keep our wonderful country safe and free.  We thank them and we remember….

Have a wonderful Wednesday and Happy Quilting!

Give-Away Spotted….

 Charlie and Lindsay at Hawthorne Threads are having an awesome give-away.  Hurry over and check it out!!  You’re going to like it!!

There are all the fixin’s for this lovely bag…. And….

Girly Girl in Sweet fabric….

Told you….do you like it as much as I do?  Not possible!

Pass it on….

Some time ago Sarah at Sarah’s Prim Treasures won a pattern to make a runner called ‘Point Taken’.  I guess the idea of this particular give away is that the winner is to make the runner and then pass the pattern on!  So Sarah made the runner and is now passing on the pattern in the form of a give away.  The lucky recipient is to make the runner and then pass it on… Brilliant idea!

 

Point Taken is so cute and easy!  And it just might be passed on to you!  Before you head on over to Sarahs….

Remember yesterday’s runner….well after much searching, I found the pattern to this snowman  runner. (Sorry about the glare….)  I won’t  be making it again so let’s start passing it on.  First of all this pattern is called “In the Meadow” and was designed by Leanne Anderson in 2003. 

This is Leanne’s version- snowman on one half and on the other half she stitched “In the meadow you can build a snowman…” which was cute but I wanted two snowmen instead.  See the cute pillow in the top right corner…it is the same snowman that is on the other table topper….so you get two patterns in one!!  Lucky you!

The little pillow snowman pattern is also in this pattern called ‘Let it Snow’ (they put it on a pillow, you can put them on a large log cabin…)

So if you would like to win the pattern to both these table toppers then leave a comment…I will pick a winner tomorrow…BUT remember after you make the project/projects it’s your job to pass the pattern on….

And don’t forget to hurry over to Sarah’s to try to win her runner….you just might win both!  
Don’t laugh… it CAN happen!  Yesterday was definitely my LUCKY day as I won TWO give aways!  YES! TWO!!!!

I don’t want to brag or anything….BUT…

This is what I won from Quilt Hollow….

Isn’t it lovely!  And it’s not going to be a table topper OR a Christmas Tree Skirt!  I am going to use it as a wall hanging to cover an electrical box that is located in the hall between my kitchen and living room.  The picture that I had covering it mysteriously fell off the wall and broke while my daughters house sat last winter.  I’m thinking party….but no one’s talking….Thanks so much Mary and… the girls thank you too!  :o)

And I won this!!!  Krista from Poppyprints made it!  It’s a thread catcher and boy do I need this!!  Isn’t it cute…look there is a pin cushion on top and a little bag for the threads.  My sewing room floor is covered in thread, little corners, pieces of felt, and little confetti pieces of paper from the back of appliqué….will Krista turn my dump into a pristine palace?  She is going to try….hey this might make a good TV show…Thanks Kristin!  I  just love it!

 

So the house is going to be really spruced up just in time for Christmas!  The garbage will be up off the floor and the electrical box covered….doesn’t get any better than this!

Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Quilting!
