Wednesday Giveaway

Darlene B. is this week’s winner and she will receive a Sewline Trio Fabric Pencil. It comes with white, black (or graphite), and pink ‘leads’. I would replace the pink with a 2nd white refill because I’m not a fan of colored lines, but that’s me :-). It is handy to have white and graphite in the same pencil. If you aren’t Darlene, click here to find the Sewline Trio Fabric Pencil.

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!

From Julie Neuffer who wrote to say:

I saw the beautiful Anniversary Quilt that you posted a few days ago. Gorgeous!
Love love love your work!

Just returned from my latest quilting retreat last weekend and wanted to send you this pic. Took me forever to finish Fresh Picked Posies, as you can tell from the starting date, but I loved every second of it. Thank you for your wonderful work and inspiration! I’ve also got several of the Thru Grandmother’s Window blocks done. They’re very pretty. Up on my design wall and speaking to me. Hmmmm…. Best,Julie

I love it! Well done, Julie! this is a big quilt and sometimes they do take longer to finish. I love the way you improv-pieced the backgrounds. Give yourself a nice pat on the back. Thank you for sharing your quilt with us!

Gardens + Imagination = Excellent Game for Kids!

This cheerful Gathering a Garden game is a breath of fresh air! Take a trip to each vendor to gather some flowers, vegetables, and more for your bounty of garden delights. Lorna tells me that the game is so inviting that when Chris (my son, her husband, father to the kids) got home and it was still on the table, he played with the kids… during dinner! which he never does.

I have a few games in stock for right now in celebration of spring and Easter. It is for ages 5 and up, no plastic pieces. Shop here for Gathering a Garden.

This game is from eeBoo, a woman-owned specialty toy and gift company based in New York City committed to designing products that encourage curiosity, imagination, and creativity in people of all ages. Gathering a Garden is a winner of the Oppenheim Gold Award.
