Bohin’s Self-Threading Needles go to our winner, Joye Cox! If you have trouble threading needles, these needles might solve your problem. The Bohin Self Threading needle has an opening on top to pop the thread through. Little interlocking ‘teeth’ hold the thread in the eye of the needle.

They are perfect for many sewing situations—I use them for burying tails of thread when I machine quilt. The pack has 2 each of sizes 2, 3, and 4. You can view a video giving more information about these special needles by clicking here.

We received a sample of Moda’s new Mini Charm Project – the French Pocket – and are passing it along to this week’s lucky winner – JaNelle Erickson! The project includes the pattern, instructions, 42 1″ hexagon papers and a pack of 42 2.5″ squares to create a standalone “pocket” (small holdall or cross body bag).

Remember a couple of months ago, when I told you about cleaning out my studio? This week’s giveaway winner, Pat Bell, will receive another result of that – two handmade pin cushion rings!

Aren’t they adorable? (Unfortunately I have a lot of adorable notions and must let at least a few of them go.)

Robins, cardinals, orioles, nuthatches, and other favorite feathered friends from the back yard are all part of this week’s giveaway – the Backyard Birds book.

Included in the pattern pack are 12 easy appliqué blocks to mix and match, or sew them all to make a 52” x 65” quilt with appliqué borders. These 12″ x 12″ finished size blocks are bursting with fresh colors and are easy enough to be fun for quilters of all levels.

You can see more details about the blocks and suggested notions by clicking here and then clicking on the Backyard Books on the books page in our store. (When we received the latest order of books from the publisher, I noticed that this one’s cover was not pristine, hence, the giveaway.)
