Wednesday Giveaway!

We are giving this week’s winner, christineroutzahn, something to help with prep work for Halloween decorating!

As you can see, the Halloween Mix is an assortment of spooky and autumn themed sequins in a variety of colors and sizes. Included are jack o’lanterns, skulls, bats, bones, and more. Obviously, they are the perfect embellishment for a Halloween project. But they can be added to pillows, clothing, table runners, etc. to make them more “seasonal”.

We carry individual colors and color blends, as well as interesting shapes and mixtures. Click here to check out all our sequins and beads.

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!

Do you remember when Bedazzlers were new? I do because I bought one along with some very nice crystals 🤣. I must have used it at least once, but I found out pretty quickly that bedazzling things is just not me. However, I am sure that more than one of you would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have this set! And our lucky winner is … Janice Blake!

Steve’s Birds Show and Tell…

Shoshana Vogel sent me this photo of her finished quilt. She wrote:

I finally finished and photographed my Steve’s Birds quilt and thought you would like to see it. thank you so much, i loved every minute of working on this one. i made it to hang in a specific space in our home so i had to play around with the final layout.

The birds look great and stand out on their blocks. You did a great job of setting them together to fit your space. And I love the texture of the sashing fabric and the way it sets the blocks apart without overpowering them. I don’t know if this quilt will end up in this space, but it does look really good against the dark books. Well done, Shoshana, and thank you for sharing!
