Wednesday Giveaway

Ann Hindmarsh is our winner! She will receive the Clover Embroidery Threader. The threader has a flat piece of bent metal that slips through the eye of the needle. (It is sturdier and easier to see than fine wire threaders.) The Embroidery Threader works on big needles with long eyes.

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! (Look here for the Clover threader, as well as several other great options: Threaders – Piece O’ Cake Designs (pieceocake.com)

Lap App show and tell…

Look at the cute Lap App cover and matching pillow that Janet made! She sent me this photo after watching last week’s Time Out. I think that using a small pillow with the Lap App is a brilliant idea—well done and thank you for the idea, Janet!

Janet does not live in the US and would love to hear about the various Quilting Festivals and Shows that take place in here, so on her next trip she will have a Must See, Must Do Quilting Travel Wish List. Feel free to leave a comment with your suggestions!

I will kick off the ideas with Quilt Festival in Houston. It is an experience that every quilter should have at least once! More than once is even better :-).

Wednesday Giveaway

This week’s winner is Renee Grandinetti! She will receive the Encouragement Sticker Sheet in the mail in a few days.

I really like a good sticker and these are good quality, and just pretty perfect. My favorite from this set is a great motto for Quilters: “Give yourself margin.” Good advice!

In the meantime, 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, including stickers at pieceocake.com

Show and tell…

Connie Werner sent me this photo of her first needle turn project—amazing, right!? I love her colors and knowing that she enjoyed needleturn so much that she is doing more. Yay!

The secret lives of scissors…

Do they really live secret lives? I don’t know but there are things to know about scissors that are not obvious. Even if you have heard me talk about scissors before, there is new information in this Time Out about scissors. Enjoy!

Wednesday Giveaway

Pam Unnash is the winner of this week’s Giveaway! She will receive Clover’s 3/4˝ pins. I sometimes use them to pin my applique in place but I use them a lot on my design wall. I like then on the wall because they work without being too visible.

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!
