Caroline Doyle is this week’s winner. She will receive a pack of applique pins from Little House. These 3/4″ fine pins have a small glass head. they are a little bit flexible but not bendy which helps them to lay flatter against your applique. I like them!
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!

Liz Poitras sent in these photos of the Magical Unicorn quilt that she made for her granddaughter. Isn’t it wonderful, magical, and perfect for a little girl’s bed! Liz, well done you!
From Liz:
Since March, I’ve been working on Magical Thinking for my granddaughter. I just have to finish the binding. I had it custom quilted by Krista Zaleski. She did a fabulous job so I wanted to share it with you. Most of the fabric is Allison Glass. The eyelashes and little white spot in the eye were challenging. I finally decided to embroider those two pieces.
I also included a picture of the back of the quilt. My granddaughter also wanted hearts on up her quilt so I decided to make a rainbow of hearts on the backing made with the 4 different fabrics for each colour. Thanks for your help and support this Spring.
Liz
Thank you, Liz, for taking the time to share the photos and story of your quilt. I know it must put a big grin on your face when you image your granddaughter dreaming beneath it :-).
Here’s a link to the pattern for anyone who might want to make a Magical Unicorn too.
Congrats to Valerie, this week’s winner, who will receive a package of Capri Cream artisanal tea along with a refrigerator magnet from Moda that says ‘Sewing Mends the Soul’ (which is true).
If you are like me, the name Capri Cream does not exactly sound tea-ish but it is, in fact, very tasty with a surprisingly creamy flavor. You can find this and other teas here.
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!
Ellen Harris from Huntsville, AL sent me this photo of her finished Aunt Millie’s Garden. She saw a post on Pinterest that inspired the aqua fabric for the background. Oange and blue are complementary colors and together they make a great foundation of color to support the other colors in the quilt.
The back has a hand embroidery piece appliqued on that says: “May I a small house and a large garden have.”
Well done, Ellen! And thank you for sharing your lovely quilt with us!
Jimi/TheGranChris is this week’s winner and will receive a pack of Black Gold Applique Needles in assorted sizes and a package of Thimble-It Finger Protectors. These needles are extra-sharp which does help you get a very pretty stitch. And the Thimble-It is handy to have in case your fingertips get sore or to help you grab the needle.
