This week’s winner, Annebett44, will receive a pack of Colonial’s Leather ThimblePads, one of several thimble products we carry in our store. (Click here to view all the options.)
This leather pad sticks to your fingers with a strong adhesive. You can reuse it many times. It is thick enough to protect your finger but is somewhat flexible.
I use a thimble pad on the fingertip of my needle-holding hand.
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!
The design of the Embrace Adventure Silk Scarf is based on my book, Hand Sewing Adventure. Made of 100% silk, it is soft and smooth. Light, but tightly woven enough not to snag on your earrings. Dimensions are 35″ by 35″.
This week’s winner is Sharlene Ferrin. Congrats!

The temperatures are actually dropping bit by bit here in North Texas and we are ready to get in the Fall mood. Lorna and I got our Halloween decorations up because it made us both happy!
We are pulling together Autumn items in the shop, and enjoying every minute. Here are a few…
This orange and purple mug is just begging for your coffee and pumpkin spice creamer. My granddaughter, Elanor (in college), already claimed hers—the gnome is so cute!
And for full on Halloween fun, these paper chains from eeBoo. Judy and Bear put one together and it is even more impressive in person. It makes a really long chain, which is awesome, or you can use fewer and make several smaller chains.
Halloween Paper Chain Kit—fun for all ages, but especially kids!
The paper strips have slots that fit together. Judy did say that small hands might struggle a little, so it’s nice to have an older helper. Work fine motor skills and hand eye coordination, plus Judy says it made them both happy. You could staple them if you really wanted to. But if you don’t, they are easy to disassembled and save for next year. The patterns are magical, and the quality is 100%, like we’ve come to expect from eeBoo.
And new from eeBoo is this 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle that is both spooky and beautiful. It has everything + ghosts! The Alchemist’s Home is not just for Halloween, but it sure does fit the theme. These puzzles from eeBoo are so detailed, they add layers of fun as you hunt for pieces and make those satisfying connections.
The Alchemist’s Home Puzzle
The 100-piece Love of Bats puzzle is on point for Fall and Halloween, too. Click here to look back at the blog post —it’s glow in the dark!
And Halloween scissor charms! Just tell us in the comments when you place your order: Purple Skull, Candycorn, Black Cats, or Owls. (If you need a witch or a pumpkin we can special order for you.)
Last, but definitely not least, if you’re working on a Fall wool project and looking for oranges and other Fall colors, Piece O’ Cake has you covered. I carry Tracy Trevethan wool, the best quality wool and colors I’ve found. Her’s are the most consistent as well, especially for hand dyed wool. Really vibrant.
Mary Ann Karpinski shared her quilt with us—thank you Mary Ann! She combined the flowers from my book, Hexie Garden Quilt, with Toes in the Sand by Julie Herman from Jaybird Quilts. What a great idea!!!
Mary Ann says that she got a little carried away with the hand quilting. I don’t think she did, do you?
Well done, Mary Ann, and thank you so much for sharing your quilt with us :-).
We can all use a little magic in our lives, so this week our winner, Angie, will receive two packs of small Magic Clips from Taylor Seville. (This is the clip you can sew over!)

Everyone knows white chalk is the go-to marking tool. General makes my favorite white chalk pencil. Our winner is getting a set of two pencils and a sharpener – what a bargain! The pencil makes a line that you can see and it brushes off well. It sharpens to a nice point but please note that you don’t really need a sharp point on your chalk pencils.
You can see more information about these pencils and check out all our marking tools by clicking HERE.
