Wednesday Giveaway!

It is exceedingly rare to find a whole new needle but Colonial’s Tapestry Petites fit the bill! We carry both the #24 and the #26 sizes. The winner of the shorter #26 size has an unusual username: Simply stitching.

These needles are short, with big eyes, and a sharp-enough point. I will use both the #24 and the #26 when hand sewing with #12 and #8 pearl cotton. I think they will be good for embroidery, big-stitch hand quilting, and big-stitch applique.

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!

Pamela Rubinos just completed this quilt using our pattern for My Whimsical Quilt Garden. She wrote:

I had a wonderful time making it. I used a lot of my Tilda scraps along with others. I love your patterns and work. They’re all great. I’m looking forward to the Bloom BOM.

Pamela designed her own special border and it suits the quilt well. The colors are lovely, and the quilting sets it all off perfectly. Well done, Pamela! Thank you for sharing with us!

Jami Smith sent this photo of her Steve’s Birds quilt top and I love it! Jami’s fabric choices manage to set each bird apart into its own space, while still working together as a whole. Well done, Jami, and thank you for sharing!

She wrote:

I so enjoyed making all these birds, thank you.  While my hands don’t allow me to do needle turned I’m still able to do fusible. So looking forward to starting 2025 block of the month. Happy New Year!

Carol Meier sent this photo of her completed version of my “Birds in Toyland” pattern. I love it! She said:

Thank you for a fun pattern! It was fun to make, & looks great on our living room wall.

One of the most fun things for me is seeing how others color their quilts and arrange the blocks. Carol used nice, brights lights in her border and those colors make a nice outer edge to the quilt.

Thank you, Carol, for sharing your wonderful Christmas quilt with us!

Wednesday Giveaway – Thanks to Jim!

Jim wanted to leave his mark on one of the last of Tracy Trevethan’s Dragonfruit Sweet Roll wool bundles, so he sunk his teeth into the paper wrapper. The wool is perfectly intact, but we can’t sell it with the label damaged. So our lucky commenter, GAIL, has won this roll, thanks to Jim!

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!
