SewCalGal's Contest

My friend, Darlene, over at SewCalGal is having a great contest with five winners. Each winner will receive a very cool pattern from Cozy Quilt Shop.

I have my heart set on Paper Lanterns if I'm lucky enough to win. Which one do you like best?

Good luck!

Stash Report Sunday - April 18, 2010

Added Year to Date:    33 yards

The Poky Little Puppy

The Poky Little Puppy quilt top was completed while listening to the sound of the sea at Virginia Beach. I love it!  I think some simple meandering will work perfectly on this.

The pattern came from Super Simple Fat Quarter Quilts by Lynda Milligan & Nancy Smith.  It's called "Hyde Park" in the book, using a beautiful floral print for its focus.

This quilt is so easy to make that our shop (Best Friends Quilt Shoppe) has used it as a beginner's quilt in classes several times. We have been saddened this week to find out that the publisher plans to discontinue the printing of the book and at this time there is no indication that any of the patterns will be published separately. I am very glad that I already have my copy of this terrific book and hope that the publisher will reconsider.

Examining my possibilities,

Momcat's Home...With a Dead Camera

I was really looking forward to seeing all the pictures that Momcat bragged about. Her sewing station right next to the patio door leading to the beach, projects completed, pictures from her mom and dad's home, photos from the quilt show. But I've just heard her mutter some bad words at the computer. All the pictures were lost during the upload process. They're not on the computer or on the camera. She is attempting to recreate some scenes in diorama using thimbles, seam rippers, and bits of cat litter. It isn't pretty.

THANK YOU PAT SLOAN!

Right before Momcat left we received news from Pat Sloan that we won three spools of Aurifil thread from a random drawing on Pat's Facebook fan page. So cool!

(Amazing what loading new batteries in the digital camera can do.)  Butch is inspecting Pat's pattern, the spools of thread and the cute lime green rickrack.

How fun to come home to a waiting package!

Time for another cuddle or two,
Piwacket
