Wednesday Giveaway goes to Cherie Tatro!

I recently went through my 80wt thread stash, pulling some to make way for new. You know how it works! So, now, my “good housekeeping” will benefit this week’s winner, Cherie Tatro. (In a couple of months, another set of 5 spools will go to a lucky winner. So keep your fingers crossed!)

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!

Butterfly Garden, show and tell…

Marion Stolmeier from Sale City, GA, sent me these photos of her newly finished Butterfly Garden quilt. It’s a breath of spring-like air :-).

She wrote: “I just wanted to share my version of your butterfly garden quilt with you and say thank you for the great pattern. I altered it a little bit by turning the rows of tulips on the sides. I made the quilt a couple of years ago but didn’t have the confidence to quilt it until now. I’m so happy with it.  Happy Quilting!

Thank you, Marion, for sharing your quilt with us. You did a great job on the applique and on the quilting!

For any who are interested, you can find the pattern on its own here, or in the ebook, Applique Delights.

Wednesday Giveaway!

This week’s winner, Diana O. will get a pack Bohin Crewel-Embroidery size 7 needles! This needle is a slightly bigger version of one of my favorite needles (the #9 Bohin Crewel needle). It’s a little thicker, a little longer, and has a little bit bigger eye. Yet another nice needle to have on hand.

We have a large selection of needles, which can be viewed in our store by clicking here. If the plethora of choices is confusing, consider the Sewing Needle Guide for Hand Stitching (also on the Pins, Needles & Clips page).

Wednesday Giveaway – Bee Lovely Goes to Karen T!

This week’s winner, Karen T, will receive one of our most beautiful as well as practical tools – Bee Lovely Needle Minder!

It’s the perfect way to keep track of your needle and is made of smooth enamel with a strong magnet. Put the enamel side on top of the fabric in your hoop, with the magnet on the back. The magnet is strong enough that your needle will stick to the enamel side when you’re not using it.

Wednesday Giveaway – Back-to-School Special!

Claudette, this week’s winner, is going back-to-school with Blackwing’s Handheld Eraser. You can add it to a back to school kit, or in an arts & crafts drawer at home or even in a sewing box. This eraser is made of a special soft material that erases dark graphite lines cleanly and easily. I love it so much on both paper and fabric. The sleek holder is made of durable aluminum that lets you get a solid grip while erasing. It feels great to use.

Wednesday Giveaway – Snip, Snip!

This week’s winner, Christine Routzahn, will receive Snip-Eze Snips!

These snips sit on your work surface in such a way so that when you pick them up, you can snip! You don’t have to put your fingers through holes or rearrange them in your hand. They are light weight and easy to manage, designed to snip threads (not fabric). They do that job exceptionally well! You can view this product, as well as other scissors in our store, by clicking here.
