Agent 99's a Winner, Even Without Maxwell Smart

Congratulations to Agent 99


You've won our Week #4 Giveaway of all the scrapbooking materials. Now you'll have a spot to put those pictures and notations for all your creations! Send me an email with your snail mail address.

Sundance picked your name out of the bowl.

She's heading back to the bowl for more. Almost as if there was a treat hidden underneath all those papers. Hmmmm.

Christmas Table Runner

Sundance is also serving as our model on the Christmas Table Runner we finished last night.  This was SO easy to make.

Happy Sewing,
Piwacket

Shop Top Done

This is a Nine Patch Star top that Momcat, Maggie and I just finished for the shop. I love the cheerful yellow and blue, and the white print background is a lot of fun. Making a simple baby quilt like this goes quickly and there's almost immediate gratification in completing a top within just a few hours of work.

This goes to the shop tomorrow for quilting and then will be on display within the next few weeks.

It's been raining here all week. Momcat is still struggling mightily to breathe. I've heard her mention the possibility of moving somewhere in the next few years where allergies, sinus problems and her asthma wouldn't flair up so much. Unfortunately, I don't think such a place exists on this earth.


GIVEAWAY #4 CLOSED -- All the entries for Giveaway #4 are closed and I'll pick a winner soon. Thanks for joining in my birthday celebration. Linda, I'll be sending out your Giveaway #3 win early next week.


Now, go to your room and sew for at least 15 minutes. I mean it!



Purrs,

I LOVE VISITORS!

I love visitors to my blog, but I like them even more in person. Cathy of Cat in the Sewing Room paid me a visit last week. She and Momcat were going out to dinner with Jill. See how Cathy is smart enough to position herself for a head butt! She's welcome to my sewing room anytime.


Cathy was going through some of her books as part of a decluttering process. Look at the ones she's sharing with Momcat!



The past couple of days Momcat has been working on a baby quilt as a sample for the shop. It's blue and yellow. Once we get a little further along, we'll share a picture with you.

May all your kibble be fresh,
Piwacket

Great Contest!

Another blogger is having a super contest. I'd love to win everything, but as always, I like to share with my blogging buddies. Good luck!

Cutest Towel Ever

There's a talented, nice lady who lives in Central Ohio named Lesley Bresler. Momcat met Lesley at a craft fair in Findlay,Ohio and loved everything that Lesley makes. You've seen hooded towels before, but the ones that Lesley makes uses really quality toweling, and she creates the cutest designs.

Now, other family members of ours don't read my blog (Philistines!) so I'm safe to share with you a Christmas gift that's going to one of our littlest beans.

Raggedy Ann consented to modeling the towel for you. Isn't she a doll? (groan)




The back includes the elephant's tail.



And here's the matching washcloth.







I have strong feelings about supporting small business owners and cottage industries. Lesley does a fantastic job at a reasonable price. If you visit her or place an order, tell her I sent you! Take a look at her website to find a whole darling menagerie of goodies.

Woobies and Bagoos by Lesley Bresler

Now I'm off to help Momcat make something with home dec fabric. We never use home dec fabric for anything, so I'm curious (always) about what we're doing with it.

I'll post soon about this week's giveaway. And it turns out that Linda does have a blog. You can visit her at Linda's Lines and Loves. Thanks for sending your info, Linda!

Giveaway Three Winner Is.......

Linda, step right up and send me your email address! You're the winner of our Week #3 Giveaway!
Linda doesn't have a blog as yet, but she's nice enough to follow several. Maybe we can inspire her to start her own.

Linda is a fellow teacher. Any lady with the same name as my Momcat has to be a good bean, right!?

It's great to see all of our new followers. Remember, there are still four more giveaways to go in my 7-week-long celebration. And you can win more than once!

I'll be writing a longer post later today. Right now I need to get a little more cat-napping in.

Week #3 Giveaway

Momcat's been making the same sounds I do when I'm coughing up a hairball. She has something called asthma and allergies. Just today she started perking up a bit and made it to work.

We've heard from our previous winners and their prizes will be mailed out to them next week. Congratulations again Carol and Swooze!

We're into Week #3 of my 7-week birthday celebration.

This week's giveaway is for Followers only. So if you're already a follower of this blog, you're already entered! If you'd like to have a chance to win, just press the Follow button on the sidebar.


Since Maggie was nice enough to pick out some cat fabric last week, I'm returning the favor by unloadi.....umm, sharing, some DAWG fabric with you. There are three fat quarters, enough to get you started on making a small fabric box. Don't know how to make a fabric box? No worries!

You'll also receive Fast Fun & Easy Fabric Boxes (from the same folks who taught you how to make a fabric bowl). You can get the technique downpat just in time for the holidays! And don't forget to let your kitty friends test out the box. You know how we like climbing into your projects and doing our quality control.

The drawing will be held this Sunday, September 13. As long as you're a Follower by noon EST on Sunday 9/13, you're in!!!

Purrin' along,
Pi
