Wednesday Giveaway – Love & Swear Words Goes to Barbara Patterson!

Some of us are definitely more verbal than others when working on a project. (Judy managed to sew completely through her index finger when making curtains for a friend and NOT say a swear word!) This week Barbara Patterson will be able to “keep it real” with a pack of “Made with Love and Swear Words” labels from Kylie and the Machine to add to her projects. Check out all our labels – Nana Made It, Perfectly Imperfect, Ta-Da! You Are Loved, Look After Me, Handmade, and Grandma Made It, as well as Made with Love and Swear Words.

(For an example of how the attached labels look, see the zipper bag project with the Handmade label.)

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!

Show and tell…

JoAnn Jackson sent me this photo of her lovely Lorna’s Vine quilt…

Lorna’s Vine by JoAnn Jackson

JoAnn used water soluble stabilizer in her applique and washed it to remove the stiffness. She thinks the colors are a little less vibrant but I think they look wonderful!

Thank you, JoAnn, for sharing your quilt with us and congratulations on a great finish :-).

Wednesday Giveaway Winner – Theresa Duval!

Just in time for Valentine’s projects – 3 boxes of sequins that include 8mm Well Red, Fairyland, and a mixed box of Crystal Iris and Opalescent Circles.

Wednesday Giveaway Goes to Pamela Dempsey!

A 22″ X 20″ piece of Bamboo Felt is going to Pamela Dempsey. I use this bamboo/rayon blend felt in my applique caddies. What is an applique caddy? It’s a folder used to carry or store your applique blocks once you take them off the design wall. I’ve used them for years and they are efficient, portable, and easy to carry with you. Your applique pieces stay flat and pristine until you are ready to stitch them to the block. You can find a video with instructions on how to make and use an applique caddy with bamboo felt here.
