Spring Bling Show and Tell…

Two weeks ago Ann Blasdel took a class with me, through the Austin Area Quilt Guild, and she has totally finished her quilt! It’s beautiful! Well done, Ann, and thank you for sharing your quilt with us!

Ann based the colors in her quilt on the Alexandrite gemstone.

You can find the Spring Bling class with my other classes on Creative Spark. In the online class, MJ Kinman teaches the gem medallion and I teach the machine applique. When either of us teaches this class to a guild, only one of us is on the zoom answering questions for all the techniques in the class. Students get unlimited access to all the videos, hers and mine.

Ann said: “The videos were very clear and presented in a very organized way.  Really nice to be able to follow them.”

Thank you again, Ann, and congrats on the fast finish and beautiful quilt!

Susan, I’m proud of you for tackling this as a new quilter. You have sewing skills and it shows. Well done and may you continue to have many happy stitches as you start on Steve’s Birds, in wool!

During the summer I went through the process of cleaning out drawers and organizers. As a result, two sets of Aurifil 80wt thread went into the Giveaway box. One set went away in August. The other set is going to Carol!

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!

This week’s giveaway, the Dritz Mighty Travel Iron and Silicone Iron Rest, is going to Denise L Clason!

This lightweight, small, and mighty iron heats quickly and does an excellent pressing job. The steam function works very well and is easy to turn on and off. The ergonomic handle lets you work for hours while the non-stick sole plate is kind to your fabrics. A storage bag and measuring cup are included, along with the dimpled iron rest.

We still have a few of these in stock. Click here to go to the site.

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!

For our last Giveaway of 2023, Sharon will get the two-pouch set featuring two of my quilts, the larger one from Bullseye Quilts and the smaller one from Backyard Birds. These are made of recycled plastic and are tough enough to handle sharp quilting, sewing and art tools.

They are one of the several organizers we carry in our store. Click here to view these, along with Yazzii organizers in various sizes and colors and the beautiful handcrafted sewing boxes made by our friend, Jacquie, especially for Piece O’ Cake.
