Wednesday Giveaway Goes to Pamela Dempsey!

A 22″ X 20″ piece of Bamboo Felt is going to Pamela Dempsey. I use this bamboo/rayon blend felt in my applique caddies. What is an applique caddy? It’s a folder used to carry or store your applique blocks once you take them off the design wall. I’ve used them for years and they are efficient, portable, and easy to carry with you. Your applique pieces stay flat and pristine until you are ready to stitch them to the block. You can find a video with instructions on how to make and use an applique caddy with bamboo felt here.

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!

Our winner will receive a pack of EPP papers to make 12—8″by8″ Bridal Bouquet blocks. I have always loved this pattern. I want to make it but, but haven’t found time yet. However, you can find lots of beautiful examples of this type of quilt by googling “Nosegay Quilt” or “Bridal Bouquet Quilt”. The photo below is just one of these.

Leave a comment/reply on this blog post to enter the drawing. A winner will be chosen by the random number generator tomorrow.

Thanks to Sue Kersey for sharing this photo of her Butterfly Garden quilt. She wrote:

I just loved this pattern so much and this was so much fun to make and quilt.  You have been wonderful to share so much with us all during this pandemic. I so look forward to your emails.

I have spent the last two years using the wonderful fabrics & patterns that I had in my quilting studio.  I knew all my stash would be needed someday and I feel so lucky to have enjoyed it during this stay at home time in our lives.

Butterfly Garden made by Sue Kersey

Sue has a very nice stash of fabrics :-). I love the colors in the butterflies and the way she kept the colors moving across the face of the quilt. Well done, Sue!

Sue’s butterflies are vertical whereas mine are flying on the diagonal. Both are good choices and I’m happy to have the opportunity to see the blocks in a different way. That’s one of the best parts of any Show & Tell!

Happy stitching to you all :-).

Valerie Leclerc will receive the Trio Mechanical Pencil! This pencil from Sewline comes with white, black/gray, and pink 0.9 mm chalks. It is handy to have three colors in one pencil especially if you have limited space in your traveling sewing kit.
