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!
A little while back I posted pictures on instagram and Facebook from the Sherman Altrusa home tour. One home on the tour had a Sputnik chandelier that I loved.
Two days ago I found the same one on Houzz and Steve said ‘Merry Christmas’! Not one to let grass grow under my feet, I ordered it immediately. It came today! Amazing!
It was well-packed.
Chris helped Steve hang it. First they took down the older fixture. Lorna wants it, so I suspect the guys will touch be touching it again after Christmas.
Then up went the new one!
And, boom! We have a wonderful, mid century modern style light!!!
Steve loves it too, which is very nice. We are both grinning at it :-).
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.
Haley Ward made this quilt in my Empty Spools class last year…
Haley is a newish quilter and she did a fantastic job on this quilt. Her fabric rainbow is very happy! I love it that the quilt looks pretty on the wall and on the sofa!
Thank you, Haley, for sharing the photos of your quilt! FYI, the pattern for the quilt is in Piecing the Piece O’ Cake Way, 2nd ed.
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 🙂
Virginia Frederick is this week’s winner of a cake Needle Nanny.
Needle Nannies are magnetic jewelry that can hold your needle, pins, and even a small pair of scissors! You can wear them on your clothes, or attach them on something close to where you are stitching.
This Piece O’ Cake Needle Nanny is special and one of the last ones that I have… and it can be yours! But wait, there’s more! To celebrate the season, I’m including a holiday scissor charm with this Needle Nanny. Ho, ho, ho!
If you are not the lucky winner, you can find more Needle Nannies here.
