Quilter44 won this week’s Wednesday Giveaway of a set of Summer Stitches Quilt Dots and a clasp bracelet. If you are not Quilter44 and are interested in your own quilt dots, click here. FYI: Quilt Dot magnets look great on the refrigerator, holding up kid art :-).

Congrats to Nettie Crain, this week’s giveaway winner of a set of Karen K. Buckley’s perfect tools: Circles, Ovals, and Stems. The Circles and Ovals are templates made of templar that you can trace against or use with an iron. The Perfect Stems are used to make bias stems with tubes of bias fabric and an iron.

This week’s Giveaway winner is Kathleen Connolly who won a pair of Tula Pink’s Micro-Tip Scissors. They cut precisely all the way to the point and they have a lovely iridescent finish. If you didn’t win and still want a pair of these dandy scissors, click here.

Congrats to Kathleen Doran, this week’s Wednesday Giveaway winner of The New Quick & Easy Block Tool book.

This book, edited by Liz Aneloskie, Kandy Petersen, and Debbie Rodgers, is wonderful! In it you will find 110 quilt blocks. There is a chart with each block to help you create it in five different sizes. I especially like the section of the book that groups blocks by what sort of grid they are built on (2×2, 3×3, etc.)

There is a gray-scale version of each block, and a blank version, so you can design it yourself without regard to the original color placement. On top of that, there is a project for every block! Plus, the editors created an index of these projects that can be made with precut fabrics such as charm packs, fat quarters, jelly rolls, and layer cakes.

Congrats to this week’s winner, Shirley Morgan! If you didn’t win, you really should treat yourself to a sandboard. I use a sandboard every time I sit down to my hand sewing. The sandpaper keeps fabric from shifting as you trace or pin and the board itself is handy to set your stuff on, on your lap, as you sew.

There are 2 sizes of sandboard. I use the smaller Travel Sandboard when I am away from home.  I use the larger, Essential Sandboard at home. Click here to find them both.

Good luck!
