Wednesday Giveaway

Lisa Benson is this week’s winner! She will receive two helpful piecing tools. Use Sewing Edge strips to mark the 1/4″ seam allowance on the bed of your sewing machine. Removable and repositionable, Cutting Edge strips stick to the bottom of any smooth acrylic ruler. No sticky tape, and they last forever. The thickness creates an edge that stops at the fabric.

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!

Show and telll… Bullseye!

Louann Young sent me these pictures of her finished quilt. Here’s what she said:

I finally got it hung on our bedroom wall today. I wish I could take credit for the gorgeous machine quilting, but that was done by Debbie Ator of Dumont, Colorado. I enjoyed making this quilt so much and found your pattern extremely easy to follow. I know I will do another one day.

I love the color combination! Well done Louann, and Debbie!

Show and tell…

Nancy Caine recently finished her Hexie Garden Quilt—isn’t it great! She says that it was a fun quilt to make!

Nancy changed the quilt top layout. I really like the way the blocks form a big hexie flower and the way it glows against the dark background. She used the other two blocks which are not in the quilt as table toppers. Well done, Nancy and thank you for sharing!

Wednesday Giveaway

Chris K. is this week’s giveaway winner. Chris will receive a package of Sulky’s Stick ‘n Stitch wash-away sheets and a package of 6 spools of cotton 12wt, 2-ply thread. Congrats to Chris!

Be sure to come back next week for the next Wednesday Giveaway. Until then, you can shop for all sorts of sewing notions, books, and other fun stuff at pieceocake.com!

Music for kids…

My friend, Laurie, put together this list for her good friend, Carla, for Carla’s granddaughter, Kella. (Now there’s a sentence that you may need to read twice!)

Carla wanted to introduce Kella to classical music but she didn’t know where to begin. Laurie knows music and she knows kids. I think it is brilliant that she began with the question ‘What mood are you in?”. Click here for a printable PDF version of this list.

You’ll need to search online for the music. I’m sure a playlist could be constructed and shared in iTunes. If any of you do put one together, please do share it with me and I’ll share the link. I suspect most of us would love it.

I wonder which mood would fit Elanor, floating on a unicorn on the water…

Judy Rosenburg is this week’s lucky winner! She will receive these three scissor charms (an alligator/lizard, a horse, and a pink pig) have found a happy home.
