February giveaway

Here's this month's giveaway. I want to have this given away and sent out to get to the winner by Valentine's Day. :) I was doing some experimenting with cutting out shapes and hearts seemed to be the best choice for this month. Also experimenting (successfully or not!) with machine applique and freezer paper. And I haven't embroidered in a long, long time, so I threw some of that in, too. I will cut this down to 5x7 so that it can be framed, if desired. It would look great in a black frame!

So, here's how you can win this month:

1. Follow my blog and leave a comment saying that you do so (or have me in your RSS reader: Coral, I'm looking at you).
2. In another comment, tell me what, if anything, you want to do to celebrate Valentine's Day.

That's all. And that means you have 2 chances to win this time. A winner will be chosen on Sunday, February 5 after 7 PM. Good luck! I had fun making this one.

winner!

The winner of my giveaway was post number 5, from Melanie! I sent you a message to send along your address. Thank you to the five lovely people who entered! Maybe next time more people will want to win a cool thing! ;)

giveaway for the new year

Here is my fist giveaway! And hopefully the first of a few this year! Up for grabs are a pair of the easy to make, ever popular mug rug. As you can see, one has perfect binding and the other...not so much! But they would love to be in your home this year! Comment here with one of your New Year's resolutions and I will choose a winner on Tuesday, January 10 after 7 PM EST. Thanks and tell your friends!

giveaway ideas

Hi, blog readers. I think I will do a giveaway once I have reached 10 followers. Small, yes, but it's a lot more than I used to have!

The question is, what will the giveaway be? A mini quilt? Some fabric (those Happy Daisy charm packs that I don't really like?)?? A pillowcase?

And when will I get that 10th follower? I know I don't post much, but I'd love to have more readers. That might inspire me to post more. :)

robot baby

I finished and gave away the Robot Baby quilt, made using a Cogsmo panel and some fabric. It's so cute! And the recipients loved it (I think). :) The baby boy this is for isn't due until September, but I didn't think I'd see the parents again.

Here it is. Henry really liked it, too. I didn't take a picture of the back, but it was pretty cool, too. It was ALL Cogsmo fabric. I quilted around each robots and cogs to make them stand out a little.

I have a few bits of the fabric left over and some larger pieces, so I may make a bib or a baby-type ball. Maybe both.

I also just finished a tiny baby quilt (26x32 or so) that I may sell on Etsy. I honestly don't like the fabric very much (Happy Daisy by Moda) but I pushed through. Made using a charm pack and a little of another one.

Which means I may have a giveaway soon, as I have another charm pack of the Happy Daisy plus what's left of the used one. And I don't think I want to keep them...
