Here we go! I’m excited to share that I have another fun block pattern coming out in the Winter 2015 issues of Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks!
I promised in October that I’d give away a free prize to one person who shared photos with my flickr group as part of the 31 Days of Halloween!
Woozelmom (Linda) will receive a free copy of this issue of 100 Blocks. This is one of my designer copies, it hasn’t even hit newsstands! I’m really happy to get to share. 🙂
Thank you SO MUCH to everyone that shared photos in October!
Stop back by Sewhooked on November 17 to read all about my block in Vol. 12 of 100 Blocks! There will, of course, be prizes!
Thank you all for stopping by the Sewhooked flickr group and sharing photos of your quilt blocks & projects made from Sewhooked pattern! You all came through spectacularly in October, just look at all of these amazing projects you’re working on!
Participants received one entry per project and were entered to win a choice of THREE individual block patterns ($2.95 or less each) from my Craftsy Shop!
The October winner is Beth Strand!
Congratulations, Beth! Make sure you check your flickr messages for details on how to receive your prize.
She loves looking at herself, which makes taking a kitty selfie the obvious thing to do! She and I have been busy bonding and I am loving having a kitty that likes to be picked up and snuggled. Merlin and Marie, our other two kitties are sweeties, but being picked up is not part of their contracts. 😉
Yesterday, I drove up to the University of North Texas to help my daughter move home for the summer. It was a whirlwind day with more traffic than I could have even fathomed. It took me just about three hours to drive there, and five to drive back. Egads, was I tired last night, but so very very glad to have my girl home!
This little guy above is a gift I purchased from a friend’s Etsy shop, Deranged Delightz. He’s a Moshi Mushroom, custom made for my daughter in her two favorite colors as a coming home surprise. She loved him and he will now live with her other favorite stufties!
The very same friend gifted me with a gorgeous pair of socks and a sweet turtle bag for my birthday! I’ve already worn the perfectly fitting, gorgeous socks and the bag carried my snacks for my road trip yesterday.
And the socks? THEY HAVE OWLS ON THEM!
This is the current state of the Make-A-Wish Project of Doom. I really wanted it to be basted before the weekend, but it just didn’t happen. Fortunately, it doesn’t need to be in the mail for another couple of weeks, so I have time to get it basted, quilted and bound. Time’s ticking, but I’ll get it done! That backing fabric? Jelly beans! As my friend Amber said, Bertie Bott’s for everyone!
