Applique Thursday Giveaway

The weather finally  broke and reached only 99 today - woohoo! The 2nd flimsie of three is done and I've cut out the third.  Hope to assemble it and start sandwiching tomorrow.

I've had no time for anything else, but I did buy the book:  Baltimore Garden Quilt - so when it comes I plan to drool over everyone of those applique blocks in it.  In the meantime, I've been going over (when I have a couple of free seconds) to http://baltimoregardenquilts.blogspot.com and reading all her posts.  What beauties!

Now for what I know you have been waiting for.  Our winner last week was GG!  I've sent her an email and hope to hear from her soon.  Congrats GG! 

This week's giveaway isn't applique - you know how I like any kind of eye candy - LOL.




This is a great book.  I'm just not ready to play outside of the box I'm in right now.  So, who wants it?  To win this copy, all you need to do is comment or link to have a chance for it to be yours. Or do both and have two chances. Submissions end Sunday night. Use the blue link below the photo.

Design Wall Monday 8/13/12

2nd flimsie of three almost done and on my design wall.  The twins were born Friday - seven weeks early, although the doc is now saying the due date may have been 2 weeks earlier than thought.  Daniella and Lucia weighed in at 4 - 6 and 4-10 and are doing very well.  The pediatrician said they are healthy.  Mother doing fine.  Now I just have to finish the quilts by the 19th if only the weather and life let me work on them.

What 's on your design wall?  Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times and see what others are doing.

Applique Thursday 8/9/12 & Giveaway

With temperatures of 109, 107, 106  not much of anything is getting done around here what with swimming lessons and playing with Alan a must.  Here's as far as I got with the next block - mind you I came home from CO at midnight Sunday -
What with hardly any quilting getting done, I so need eye candy to get me back in the groove. So this week's giveaway is a book ( a duplicate actually) that I think you'll really like.  Don was featured in SewCalGal's 2012 FMQ Challenge.  He had a great lesson for us.  I've used a couple of his motifs so I'll be keeping the other copy.  To win this copy, all you need to do is comment or link to have a chance for it to be yours. Or do both and have two chances. Submissions end Sunday night. Use the blue link below the photo.
 


Progrees is Made

Progress is made, at least some.  More blocks were added to the baby quilt I was working on (see previous post). More scraps were used. I...
