GIVEAWAY!

I did not forget...I promised a birthday giveaway and here I am with it.  Better late than never, I always say.  

I made another double-zipper pouch with Lotta Jansdotter fabrics.  The pattern is by Sweetwater and is so easy to put together...I rather enjoy making them!  This pouch measures ~9 x 7 inches.

For a chance to win this pouch (which I will fill with a few goodies), leave a comment on this blog post.  What would you use the pouch for...sewing supplies, make-up...could be wonderful for almost any use!  

I will draw a winner on Monday morning, March 2.

Here's the pouch...

Good luck to you all!

Happy Birthday to Me Giveaway!!!

Yup, today is the big day!  My birthday.  It's a special year...I am now eligible for Social Security.  Gosh, I remember once thinking that anyone this age was ancient!  Now, I'm thinking I have a lot of life yet to live!  

I mentioned in Friday's blog post something about having a giveaway...I cannot think of a better way to celebrate my special day than to give.  So, I looked around and found a few things that I think will appeal to you.

Happy Heart Day!!!

Happy Heart Day to you all!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you read earlier this week, 

I've been bitten by the 'pillow' bug.

I happened to have six 1/2 yard pieces

of Parson Gray Seven Wonders

by David Butler...

with nowhere to go.

So, I started putting some

pillow cover tops together.

Here's what I have so far...

 

  

I like some of them better than others.  My faves are the last three...the half square triangles, the split rail fence, and the simple patchwork.  The pillow covers range in size, so I'll have several pillows of the same fabrics in different sizes (16, 18 and 20 inches).  I'll quilt them and make the backing with a solid fabric.  I will probably make a few more and decide which ones I like best to finish.  

What are you all working on?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

psssssst....

My birthday is coming up

and what better way to celebrate

than to have a small giveaway?

If I can decide what to give away,

that is. 

Stay tuned.

edited to add:  I did it!  I put together a fun little package...kinda red/heart-themed...what with my birthday's proximity to Valentine's Day!
