Wednesday Giveaway

Anita B. is this week’s winner! She will receive Jen Kingwell’s Postcard Project #8, the Two Tone Tumbler. It is fun to make and you can stop at any size. Instructions are included for hand piecing but can also be completed using a machine. But really, this is more fun to hand piece :-).

If you aren’t Anita but would like to have the Tumbler Project #8, click 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!

Jackie J. is this week’s lucky winner! She will receive a wonderful pencil sharpener. I love a super-sharp point on my Blackwing graphite pencils and this 2-step sharpener gives me one. I also use this one for my chalk pencils even though I stop before the point is super-sharp.

If you aren’t Jackie and you would like one of these, click here. Also available in black.

Show and tell…

Here is another block from the virtual Bullseye class that I taught for the Golden Triangle Quilters in Beaumont. this is Jean Aguilar’s finished block. It graphic and stunning—well done, Jean!

I don’t know if the braided chicken mat in the background was use for inspiration, but it definitely could have been. They look very nice together on the table :-).

Thank you, Jean, for sharing your block!

Setting Queenie free…

Queenie the unicorn has been floating in our pool all summer. Sometimes she got out of the pool and sunned herself on the waterfall wall…

But Queenie had outgrown our tiny pool and was yearning for grander spaces. My friend, Helen, came to the rescue and released her into the wild this morning…

Queenie is ecstatic in Helen’s lovely pond with the lily pads, turtles, and little fishes. She is the picture of happiness and I am happy for her!
