Congrats to Lynda Muzyka who is this week’s lucky winner. She will receive 2 cute, pink, leather-like, dotted scissor sheaths—1 for small scissors and 1 for medium-sized scissors. These are perfect for protecting the points of your scissors AND they keep your bag from being poked. Scissors are not included.
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 woke up today with a flash of fabric inspiration that I had to share!
Be sure to watch Time Out tomorrow to see the Tisket Tasket Basket block construction in detail. The video link below should go live Wednesday, June 30, 2021 at 2:00pm CDT.
Jane Harris from Marlborough, MA, sent me this photo of the Whilygig quilt she made in 2016. Isn’t it amazing?! The colors glow and are so happy!
You can find the pattern for Whirlygig in the eBook version of Quilts with a Spin. There is also a Print-On-Demand version of this book.
Susan in LA is this week’s winner! She will receive a pack of 125 3/4˝-EPP papers from Paper Pieces AND an acrylic template from Sue Daley to make cutting the fabric hexes easier. Pretty sweet, right?! Find more EPP tools here.

Connie Werner sent me photos of the wool pincushion she made in one of the small tins from my website. She said that she can even stand a toothpick in it to hold my thread she is currently using. What a great idea and one I wish I had thought of!
Click here or on the photos to find the little tins :-).
Ann Oswalt emailed me in January looking for the border foundation papers for this quilt. Luckily, I had them on my computer. Ann wrote:
It was my first paper-pieced quilt (and may be the last!) and I am so proud of it. None of the stars cupped and all the points are present and accounted for.
Most of the fabric was from 2 fat quarter packs that my grandson gave me for Christmas. Some came from my stash. I ran out of red and purple/navy background and had to buy some, so all the sashing fabric is the same. The top has been finished for about 6 weeks, but I just finished hand-sewing the binding last night. Here are pix of the finished product. Thanks for your help.Ann Oswalt
