Lisa Deering sent me this photo of her finished Baby Bullseye quilt. Isn’t it wonderful!!!!

From Lisa: I guess shelter-in-place is as good of a time as any to get things finished. I used a facing on the edges and attached it to the wall with Command Strips (removing the adhesive and hand stitching one side of the strips to the facing of the quilt).
The border geese are done in a rather large print which makes it look like they are moving around on the quilt. Of course one goose is going in the wrong direction just for fun.

Truth be told, I had to hunt and hunt for the geese flying backwards and even now, when I know where it is, I have to look for it. That big print does indeed add a lot of movement and it’s really good!

Kay is this week’s Giveaway winner! She will receive this Clover Pendant Thread Cutter. You can wear it as a pendant and use it to cut threads or turn it upside-down and insert the stem into a spool. It’s the fastest way I’ve found to cut apart chain-pieced units!

If you are not Kay and would like to have a Pendant Thread Cutter of your own, click 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!

Kathy Swanteck sent me this photo of her Searching for Beauty Quilt. I love it! Thank you, Kathy, for sharing it with us :-).

Making this quilt brought me joy during a challenging time. It will live in California.
The day after I started this quilt I was talking to my son in California. He said he and his girlfriend would like a quilt with viruses all over it. I laughed since I just started one. So it is going to live with him 😃.

Kathy said she followed my freezer paper appliqué technique, using a glue pen and that it worked great. Yay!

Allison Church Bird is this week’s winner! She will receive a wonderful 2-Step Pencil Sharpener which creates a perfect point using a two-step sharpening process. Sharpen the wood in the first step and then sharpen the graphite core to a long, fine point in step 2. The clear lid opens for cleaning. The sharpener comes with two replacement blades and an automatic brake that prevents over-sharpening.

Kim Jasko sent this photo of a quilt she recently finished (for an anniversary milestone) using what she calls ‘Becky’s Birds’, designs from our book, ‘My Whimsical Quilt Garden‘. Truth be told, the birds are more Linda’s birds than mine :-).

Kim plans on displaying her quilt every May.

The base design is from Amanda Murphy. I think this is an excellent mash-up of two different quilt patterns. Well done, Kim, and thank you for sharing!
