A New WIPs Be Gone Giveaway

  A small finish - another Splendid Sampler block.   And a big finish - that commission quilt is a top.  I'm sandwiching it as you read this. My client saw our June Festival quilt and wanted one like it, but for his favorite team - here's a sample of the University's fabric.
 
He colored the letter blocks.  Fabric markers were used. Then I took an art pencil and went over the red again as the letters looked orange.  They looked fine by themselves.  It was the deepness of the other red fabric that made them look that way.  

What are you up to? Link below and you'll have a chance to win a book or hexagon pieces - your choice.  I'll send you an email asking for your preference. Usual guidelines apply: Leave me a comment for one chance.  Link your eye candy for another (link button below). Follow me and let me know for a third. Remember if you don't have a blog, you can always post a photo from a photo hosting service.  Please be sure there is some way for me to contact you. Ends next Thursday, midnight. I'll be linking to several parties.  See tab above.  Blessings!

  1. It's a beautiful weekend her weather wise, I will probably not get much stitching done, as the garden needs put to bed.

  6. I plan on starting a new sewing project this weekend, maybe even today! I want to make a mini quilt to hang on my wall to remind me that spring is coming...yes, I know it's September, but we have a very long, cold winter ahead of us here in the Midwest. A pretty wall hanging with spring flowers will keep my soul warm during the winter!
