new and a giveaway....

I was so struck with beauty this morning when I walked my daughter to the bus stop.  I just had to share....

More wonderful fabric from the Intrepid Thread!!  Yummy!!!!  I started a project on Saturday, but I may change my original plan, is that okay??

Also on Saturday, dear friends of ours had a new baby boy!  Of course I wanted to make a quilt....however if you remember I had already given my baby boy quilt to my nephew, so I put this top together and took it to the quilter - hooray!!  I have always wanted to start and finish a top in a day.



So here is the giveaway for this week....scraps in Spring colors and some patterns from Fall Market...enjoy!!

baby and a winner!

So let's do the winner first!  Most of you correctly guessed this is Silent Cinema and now Sallie will get to play with it!!  Congrats Sallie, I'll email you shortly.

I am so excited to share this amazing photo and story with you.  Indulge me just a bit....
On Wednesday, Leap Day, my nephew and his wife welcomed a beautiful baby boy!!!!  Awesome as this is my brother's son.  If you have been here much then you know my brother passed away 4 years ago.  I am super excited to be a Great Aunt!!

So of course, he needs a quilt from me!!!!  I popped this adorable one in the mail on Wednesday.

Hope to met this little guy soon.....but they live far away, so in the meantime, I will enjoy the pictures!!

peaking....

I hope you receive the Intrepid Thread's newsletter!  This project is in this month's newsletter.  Any guesses as to the finished project?

My Woodland Tails project in rows.  Sorry, can't yet show you the finished top - top secret!

Care to guess this line?  I can't say too much, yet, but soon......
Happy Valentine's Day, one day late.  Do you have any fun traditions?  My hubby buys candy for each of our kids and we do a fun family dinner.  I did, of course, receive flowers too!

giveaway and a flop or two

Today I thought I would share a couple of projects that may never leave finished.  Sometimes that happens, and sometimes often!!  So this above project I started last Friday.  I saw the project on Sew Mama Sew's blog and thought it looked cute, but......now I am not too sure if I will finish it.  Any takers??

My other flop of the week - a Stitch in Color idea - not!!!  It was a week where the ideas in my head just didn't play out like I planned.  This was going to be a cool pillow, at least in my mind!!  So off to a new idea.....

This bundle of Happiness is the giveaway for the week.  Here's to some happiness for each of us!!

back again plus a winner....

So, the winner of the Hometown, yes, that is the name of this line - is Mary Beth!  Hooray!  I am emailing you in a few minutes.  Thanks again to all who stopped by - love, love reading your comments, they make my day!!

Love, love finished projects!  Yesterday, I received a box from a consignment store.  They decided to retire, so my unsold items came home.

Do you see any favorite items??
