Wednesday Giveaway – Colonial!

Janet Gluesenkamp has won this week’s Giveaway – the Colonial Needle Threader with two sizes of sturdy wire threaders inserted into a single handle! The threader handles are long enough to let you reach and thread your sewing machine needles quickly and easily. The standard threader on the Ivory end is fine enough to work with a #12 applique needle and 2-ply thread. The extra-large threader on the orange end works with thicker thread and bigger needles.

This is one of several threaders we stock in our shop. You can find all of them in the notions/threaders section.

I’ll be back with another Giveaway next Wednesday. Until then you can shop for all sorts of sewing notions, books, and other fun stuff at pieceocake.com!

Show and tell…

I wanted to email you long before now. I truly enjoyed making this quilt with all my heart. I’ll admit I made some errors…. The biggest was jumping in without all my fabrics selected. Some struggle in that area but learned some much. 

Thank you for designing a wonderful very versatile composition. I have seen your pattern done in many color ways with much success. I can imagine that feels so good. 

Gail’s quilt was a winner in the Dallas Quilt Show where I was a judge. Her quilt is as pretty in person as it is here! Below is a photo of the quilt wearing it’s ribbon:

Gail embroidered around many of the lighter applique shapes which helped them to be more visible against the background. It is a nice touch!

Thank you, Gail, for sharing your quilt at the show and here! FYI: the pattern is Aunt MIllie’s Garden and you can find the epattern here.

Wednesday Giveaway!

Our Giveaway this week, the Deluxe Corner Trimmer and Hand Piecing Tool, goes to Karen in Ohio! It can be used in hand and machine piecing to mark the dot where adjacent seam lines meet at a corner and is perfect to cut away the dog ears on four different acute angle corners and square corners and confirm the size of all the angles including the outside angle on 60 degree and 45 degree diamonds.

Wednesday Giveaway – 2 Winners: Roberta Adams & Laura Keller!

I’m giving away two of my handmade Vintage Needle Caddies this week. Cleaning out my studio is a win for me when I turn loose of duplicate items, since it makes room for new tools, etc. And it’s a win for Roberta & Laura, since I’m passing on those duplicate items to our winners.

If you are sadly not one of the winners this week, you can still have one of these cute needle caddies by clicking here to download the free template with instructions and making your own. If you want a little extra help, the link for the Time Out video that featured the “how-to” for these caddies is on the same page.
