Triple Winner Wednesday Giveaway!

I’m taking apart this box of pink Lady Jayne nail files so that 3 winners can each get one! We still have a few sets of the pink and the green in stock. Check them out by clicking here (in the stocking stuffer section).

Leave a comment/reply on this blog post to enter the drawing. (To leave a comment, click the icon that looks like a ‘thought bubble’ at the top, right, of the post.) A winner will be chosen by the random number generator tomorrow.

Currently we can only ship to winners in the domestic US. If you leave a comment and are chosen, but live outside of this area, we will have to choose a different winner.

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!

I really enjoyed searching my stash to come up with each flower combination. The whole journey made me happy.

It makes me happy too! Congratulations on the ribbon and on making such a pretty quilt!

Wednesday Giveaway – Blue Boats!

In last week’s newsletter, I talked about the two sizes of bobbin boats that match the two sizes of bobbins (Masterpiece and Efina), stocked in our store. And also, that both sizes fit in Jacquie’s beautiful hand-crafted sewing boxes.

This week, our lucky winner, Lee, will get one of the smaller blue boats that hold the Masterpiece bobbins perfectly!

Show and Tell: Backyard Birds

I received a fabric collection as a gift that was way outside my comfort zone but it inspired me to make a version of backyard birds.  I embroidered every leaf. It was a fun project. When I got today’s email thought I’d share with you. 

I’m lovely what look like musical notes in the lower left block. Very creative!

Thank you, Mary, for sharing and I’m proud of you for playing with this fabric :-). Well done!

Steve’s Celebration of Life

The ceremony marking Steve’s life was Tuesday, September 15. It was live streamed on Youtube and the video is there now. I thought that some of you who have seen Steve pop up over the years might be interested.

This was truly a celebration! Hawaiian shirts and colorful garments were encouraged along with smiles and good memories.

There were 5 speakers who shared memories of Steve—and some truly funny stories. His brother, Charles, came first. Then a former student, Hayley, followed by colleagues, Pete and George. Our son, Jeff, was the last speaker and he nailed it. Steve would have enjoyed it all so much. If you watch, I hope you smile a lot.

Wednesday Giveaway – Goofy!

I can’t resist. This week’s winner, gigi4956 has to have this soft graphite pencil featuring my favorite, Goofy, and pencil guard with “mouse ears” on the tip! Just too good. (Click here to view all the Disney Blackwing products in stock in the store.)
