Applique Thursday Giveaway

Life is still so busy - babysitting twice a day into the evening, anniversary (44th) coming up, board meetings, and book sorting............I'd rather be quilting!!!  So here's what I got done in the 10 minutes I had - two more leaves on Anna's Garden block 5:

I'm forgetting how to do teeny tiny rounded points!

Okay, so you can be doing applique or other sewing projects here's this week's giveaway. It's Four Blocks Say More.. by Toni Phillips & Juanita Simonich. This is their second collection of quilts to piece in a weekend. You know how I like big pieces and few of them in a block and I thought this book would be just what I wanted, but I've never gotten to it even with the couple that have applique in them. These finish at between 84-96 inches square - that's big for me. So I'm passing this on to someone who'd like 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 Wednesday night. Use the blue link below. And remember, it doesn't have to be applique (that you share that is) - I love all sorts of eye candy.

Easy Street 11/26/12

Half done with first step.  Here's one batch.  Incandescent bulb made some look yellow, but they are really b & w.

I'm linking to Bonnie's Easy Street at her blog.  It will be fun to see what people are using.

Design Wall Monday 11/26/12

Down on my design floor is the 5th VA lap quilt.  Cut some squares and made 5 blocks for this 20 piece, 9 1/2" block quilt that finishes at 36 x 45 - the size they want for wheelchairs and to cover the feet in bed.  We'll be at our 60 quilts very soon and then we can deliver them.

It would be nice to get them there for Christmas.

I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times and Lyn's BOMs Away.  Go on over to see what others are doing.
