We received a sample of Moda’s new Mini Charm Project – the French Pocket – and are passing it along to this week’s lucky winner – JaNelle Erickson! The project includes the pattern, instructions, 42 1″ hexagon papers and a pack of 42 2.5″ squares to create a standalone “pocket” (small holdall or cross body bag).

Remember a couple of months ago, when I told you about cleaning out my studio? This week’s giveaway winner, Pat Bell, will receive another result of that – two handmade pin cushion rings!

Aren’t they adorable? (Unfortunately I have a lot of adorable notions and must let at least a few of them go.)

Robins, cardinals, orioles, nuthatches, and other favorite feathered friends from the back yard are all part of this week’s giveaway – the Backyard Birds book.

Included in the pattern pack are 12 easy appliqué blocks to mix and match, or sew them all to make a 52” x 65” quilt with appliqué borders. These 12″ x 12″ finished size blocks are bursting with fresh colors and are easy enough to be fun for quilters of all levels.

You can see more details about the blocks and suggested notions by clicking here and then clicking on the Backyard Books on the books page in our store. (When we received the latest order of books from the publisher, I noticed that this one’s cover was not pristine, hence, the giveaway.)

This week I am giving away one of my favorite Blackwing products – the Blackwing Handheld Eraser & Holder! 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.

Watch the Video to see a demonstration of this product!

Sharps are often labeled as applique needles, usually in smaller sizes. The Bohin Sharp 9 needle is perfect for general sewing, hand piecing, and English paper piecing. And a pack of 20 of these needles is our Giveaway to Rhonda Gohlke this week!

Bohin’s Sharps Needles are strong, durable needles that resist bending. These needles feature a finely honed point to minimize fabric damage. Bohin uses a unique polishing process on the needle’s eye, reducing thread breakage and helping the needle glide smoothly through fabric.

We recently received a large shipment of the Magical Thread Easy with Magnifier & Light. These threaders have a built-in magnifying glass and LED light to make the eye of the needle much easier to see. Battery and wire threader are included. Unfortunately, some of these arrived with the packaging in less than pristine condition (the device and components were not affected, thank goodness!). Consequently, our two winners have benefitted from the “slightly beat-up” packaging.
