So welcome to my blog. I hope you'll stop by now and then to see what I'm up to and comment. Then I can visit your blog/flickr group/email and do the same. Here's one of the projects I'm working on at present.
I post whatever progress I've made on Fridays as Hexie Weekend and have a Linky Party for it too. You're invited to link any eye candy you've made, are working on, or dream of starting (it doesn't have to be hexies) to share with us. There's one going on now - previous post.
Then on Tuesdays, I write an Applique Tuesday post to keep me moving forward with my favorite type of quilting. Here are four blocks that are waiting to become a wall hanging. I also post about the family, the garden (or lack thereof in this drought), and charity quilts. I'm
always looking for simple patterns from which to make 36" quilts for the low income, first time mothers in our parish who need a little help and love.
As a thank you for stopping by, I'm having a giveaway during Vicki's fabulous event. I'm giving away a $25 gift certificate to one of my favorite online stores: The Fat Quarter Shop. This giveaway is open to anyone. In order to win, leave me a comment and tell me where you are from (please be sure you are not no-reply on Blogger). For a second chance to win, you can become a follower and leave a comment telling me you have done so. Winner will be chosen on February 15th. Good Luck!
PS: Come Feb 28th - I'll have another giveaway for my blog anniversary - mark it on your calendars.
Your appliqué blocks are so pretty. I wish I have the time to appliqué. I am from California.
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me to go on with the hexies, and now you tempt me to start appliqué blocks too. I did much of appliqué before. I'm from Norway, and I'm happy to be your blog friend.

ReplyDeleteWelcome to the big beautiful Grow Your Blog Hop! I volunteered to help Vicki as a GYB party volunteer.

ReplyDeleteHello Angie- visiting from gyb. Fabric and books- sounds wonderful. I used to quilt before I became a mother. After our daughter came along I sewed for her and enjoyed making dresses, pantalettes, costumes, and jumpers. Now that she is in college I need to do something with my small fabric stash other than little gifts- I need to practice on my embroidery machine too! I tend to get caught up in scrapbooking, gardening, reading and baking and let sewing sit on the back burner. You have a nice blog- love the quilt party link up.
