This week’s winner is Mary Kastner. She will receive a travel sized Orange Vanilla Lolo Body Moisturizer. My hands are usually OK in the summer but with the increased hand washing I’m using Lolo all day long and my skin is much happier :-).
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!
Update: this place is now posted with many no trespassing signs. We have not been able to find the owners. Darn!!!
My husband Steve, the field biologist, knows stuff. And one of the things he knows is how to find the 10-acre rock. It is a 10 acre outcropping of granite in southern Oklahoma, near Tishomingo. There are smaller outcroppings in the area (like the 6-acre rock) that are no longer accessible.
This is not a park, and you can’t exactly find it on a map. Many of the locals don’t even know it’s there… but some do because they obviously party on the rock.
There used to be a quarry here, but it is long gone. The granite is pink, white, and black—very pretty and unusual. There is granite from this spot in the Oklahoma state capital building.
Mother Nature is just full of surprises :-). Here is an close and personal view of a mossy crack in the rock.
Lisa Deering sent me this photo of her finished Baby Bullseye quilt. Isn’t it wonderful!!!!
From Lisa: I guess shelter-in-place is as good of a time as any to get things finished. I used a facing on the edges and attached it to the wall with Command Strips (removing the adhesive and hand stitching one side of the strips to the facing of the quilt).
The border geese are done in a rather large print which makes it look like they are moving around on the quilt. Of course one goose is going in the wrong direction just for fun.
Truth be told, I had to hunt and hunt for the geese flying backwards and even now, when I know where it is, I have to look for it. That big print does indeed add a lot of movement and it’s really good!
This week’s winner is Lisa G Benson. She will receive 3 scissor charms that are mostly red and white. There’s a ladybug, a cupcake, and a bird that you can use to dress up your scissor, rotary cutter, a zipper, and more!
If you are not Lisa, you can find more scissor charms, plus a movie that shows how you can use them especially with serrated scissors, 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!
Kay is this week’s Giveaway winner! She will receive this Clover Pendant Thread Cutter. You can wear it as a pendant and use it to cut threads or turn it upside-down and insert the stem into a spool. It’s the fastest way I’ve found to cut apart chain-pieced units!
If you are not Kay and would like to have a Pendant Thread Cutter of your own, click here.

Kathy Swanteck sent me this photo of her Searching for Beauty Quilt. I love it! Thank you, Kathy, for sharing it with us :-).
Making this quilt brought me joy during a challenging time. It will live in California.

The day after I started this quilt I was talking to my son in California. He said he and his girlfriend would like a quilt with viruses all over it. I laughed since I just started one. So it is going to live with him 😃.
Kathy said she followed my freezer paper appliqué technique, using a glue pen and that it worked great. Yay!
