Giveaway Excitement

Thanks to everyone who has already participated in the Star Quilt Giveaway I am doing on Flickr- see the post below for the details! Entry is open until the end of December 1.

Adding to the giveaway excitement, there is a Flea Market Fancy giveaway going on at Flea Market Fancy Freaks. Squeeeee! What an awesome giveaway! Hurry over there, because this one ends on December 1 also!

Star Quilt Giveaway!

Yay! The Flickr group I started back in May has already gotten 100 members! It has been a lot of fun to connect with other star quilt lovers and share so many beautiful & inspirational photos of star quilts and quilt blocks. One member even mentioned that she is working on a star sampler quilt inspired by various blocks from the group- great idea!

To celebrate the 100 member mark, I am doing a quilt pattern and fabric giveaway on the Flickr Star Quilt group, so head on over to the Star Quilts 100 Member Celebration Giveaway post on Flickr to read about the prizes and enter a chance to win- and don't forget to check out all the great star quilts while you are there!

And no, I am not giving away the lovely little quilt from Adrienne in round 6 of the Doll Quilt Swap. I just can't find my camera to take pictures of my giveaways- doh!

No Place like Gnome

This Alexander Henry World Traveler Gnome fabric is hilarious! I love it... what to make with it?

A Quilt for Bunnies

I finished this quilt yesterday for my girls to use at grandma's house. They like to sleep in a little bunny bed- a little nest of quilts tucked in a cozy spot- so this one is especially for little bunnies to snuggle under. It's sweet and girly, with fabrics from some of my favorite designers- Anna Maria Horner (I still swoon over her Good Folks collection on a regular basis!), Kaffe Fassett, Jennifer Paganelli, Joel Dewberry...

This one was a quick & easy design- just some Lazy Gal stripes, and self bound with the backing fabric. The stripes were more challenging to balance that I first thought, but I'm pleased with the result.. and my little bunnies are too.

List Progress

Progress is slow, but it is being made. In the last few weeks since my last post I've shaved a little bit off my list... and of course, my list has grown at a constant rate, so I don't feel like I am getting ahead yet!

I did:

• Baste 2 of my quilts and quilt one (pics to come when they are done, that's supposed to motivate me...)
• Finish blocks for 2 of my 3 bees/ groups (Sis Boom POW and Stash Busting Bee International- shown up above; I still need to finish those dang pinwheel blocks whose points are giving me troubles again.)
• Made Halloween costumes (on time and no one got sick on Halloween so they actually got worn- yay!)
• Figured out my e-mail issue, so I can actually respond to comments if I can ever get caught up...
• Start the baby quilt.

Another accomplishment that was not on my "list"... spending more great quality time with my family :-) Nothing like that, and some creative time, to make a gal feel like a million dollars!
