I like short pins when I applique, and you can’t get any shorter than 1/2″! Short pins hold your applique neatly in place and they stay out of the way as you sew. What’s not to love?! Elaine is the lucky winner!
If you were not the lucky winner, you can order yours here.
I started off the new year off with a Giveaway of a To-Go size container of Lo-Lo Head-To-Toe moisturizer. This ‘Plain Jane’ container is unscented so even if you are allergic to scents, you can use it. Margery is the lucky winner!
If you were not the lucky winner, you can order yours here. f you are not Margery, you might still consider buying your own Lo-Lo moisturizer. You will love the way these unique bars moisturize rough, dry skin. Once applied, the moisturizer deeply penetrates the skin and lasts through multiple hand washings. The artisan-quality bar moisturizers are handcrafted using locally sourced beeswax and essentials oils. This is the perfect size to carry with you.

Did that get your attention :-)?

Sizzle is the quilt that I spent months designing and making (in 2 colorways!) last year. It is pieced on foundation papers and is a lot easier to make than you might think, as long as you follow the directions!
I made videos of each pertinent step as I made the quilts. It is my sincere hope that the pattern, instructions, and the videos answer any questions you might have during construction.
I look forward to hearing from you as you make your Sizzle quilts!
To celebrate the end of this year’s holiday season, I am giving gave away one Welcome to the North Pole book to one lucky winner—Hendrika!
Now is the time to start making your very own North Pole quilt for next year. If you are not Hendrika, you can find the book here. Happy stitching!
When you need to make long stems that are uniform in width, Perfect Stems and the perfect tool. Linda Bell, this week’s lucky winner, will receive this package of 8 plastic strips in a variety of widths that help you press your bias stem ‘tubes’ flat
To celebrate the season, I’m including a holiday scissor charm with the Perfect Stems. Ho, ho, ho!
If you are not Linda, you can find Perfect Stems here.
I’m still on vacation with Elanor in Portland, but I want to share this from Susan Sharp…
In her email, she says ‘I used your pattern to make tree skirts for gifts this Christmas. They are beautiful.’
I agree with Susan, this is a beautiful tree skirt! And she made more than one!
It’s almost sad to cover it up with presents!
Thank you, Susan, for sharing these with us 🙂
