Wednesday Giveaway – Favorite!

By the number of comments, it’s easy to see that any Vendor Grab Bag is a big favorite with our readers. The smattering of “this and that” must be the attraction. It makes us smile! So here is the last Grab Bag for 2025. Enjoy!

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.

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!

Wednesday Giveaway goes to Lisa Gosen!

I was given this Konfetti thread in a sampler mini spool set and I knew immediately that it should be a Wednesday Giveaway! Konfetti is a 50wt double gassed Egyptian cotton thread, perfect for quilting, longarming, hand and machine piecing, decorative stitching, embroidery, and general sewing. I find it a little heavy for hand applique but you might love it for that too.

Show and Tell: Steve’s Birds

Suzanne Cassanelli sent a photo of her just completed, amazing Steve’s Birds quilt and the story that goes with it. Be sure to read the story :-).

I just finished this beautiful Steve’s Birds quilt and I wanted to send you a photo. I’m so happy and proud of myself. I never imagined I could complete such a project. It’s my very first applique, and I learned so much from your classes. I’d bought all the patterns but never actually finished a project before this one.

These birds are a gift for a friend I’ve known for fifty years. I’ve decided to make and give a quilt to everyone I’ve truly loved in my life. I still have a little time. Thanks you again for this pattern and for your classes, which are so clear, so comprehensive, and for your kindness. Joyeux Noel… Suzanne

Thank you, Suzanne, for your kind words and for sharing the story of this quilt. You did a lovely job AND you gifted the quilt to your long-time friend. How wonderful! And you are going to make more quilts specifically to give to special people. That is a very good idea. I don’t always know where my quilts are going to end up and I’m going to remember this…
