Show and tell… Whimsical Quilt Garden in Wool!

This is Susan Buscher’s Whimsical quilt, appliqued in wool. Isn’t it wonderful! She shared it during Show and Tell at the Out on a Limb quilt guild in Jasper, GA last week and let me take a photo. Thank you, Susan, for sharing your quilt with us!

Wednesday Giveaway – COLOR goes to Patricia Hersl!

This week’s winner, Patricia Hersl, will receive this handy 5″ tool to take in her purse or bag when shopping for her next quilt supplies. There are 12 colors on the wheel, with each wedge including a sample of tints, tones, and shades in that color. The back of the wheel offers guidance on how to put colors together in 5 different color ways.

We also carry two larger color wheel products which you can check out by clicking here. If you’ve never used a color wheel before, you can learn more about how they work in The Quilter’s Practical Guide to Color book (available both as a printed and an e-book).

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!

Wednesday Giveaway – Our Last “In the Patch”

This week is an extra special giveaway for 3 WinnersMarilyn, Melissa and Eva, each of whom will win one of our last 3 tubes of In the Patch Temporary Adhesive! The In the Patch glue stick is/was the glue stick I recommended for use with felted wool, but sadly, we have not been able to find this product or a comparable substitute since the original owner of the company retired.

Now I use Wonder Fuse to hold wool shapes on my block and, if that isn’t an option, I pin shapes with Shorter Perfect Pins. (Click here to check out those options.)

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!

Wednesday Giveaway goes to Cherie Tatro!

I recently went through my 80wt thread stash, pulling some to make way for new. You know how it works! So, now, my “good housekeeping” will benefit this week’s winner, Cherie Tatro. (In a couple of months, another set of 5 spools will go to a lucky winner. So keep your fingers crossed!)

Butterfly Garden, show and tell…

Marion Stolmeier from Sale City, GA, sent me these photos of her newly finished Butterfly Garden quilt. It’s a breath of spring-like air :-).

She wrote: “I just wanted to share my version of your butterfly garden quilt with you and say thank you for the great pattern. I altered it a little bit by turning the rows of tulips on the sides. I made the quilt a couple of years ago but didn’t have the confidence to quilt it until now. I’m so happy with it.  Happy Quilting!

Thank you, Marion, for sharing your quilt with us. You did a great job on the applique and on the quilting!

For any who are interested, you can find the pattern on its own here, or in the ebook, Applique Delights.
