I won some beautiful blues

It came in the mail yesterday.  I won a bundle of 10 fat quarters in the Delphinium color way from the last H2H giveaway!  Thanks Sarah. 

I can see some butterflies out of these.

Hugs,

Terri

As promised...

My fabric winnings from Fabrics N Quilts, for the Hands 2 Help Charity Quilt Challenge sign-up contest came today!!!!!!!!!

 

`````````````````````````````

 

 The other win last week was a free pattern from Quilt Art Designs for Janeen's birthday celebration.

 

 

I didn't know how to show you a picture of the little sweetie, so I showed a picture of the e-mailed pattern. Janeen has a fun blog today. You might enjoy the cute post she did with her some of her patterns featured.

 

Sew, I'm off to.... (as Yoda would say).

Design Wall Monday

Finally something new on my design wall... more blocks for the Grandgirl wedding quilt.

 

 I'm quite organized this time...  Notice the box top "trays" from Costco?

More blocks not yet placed. (I think I made too many blue ones...)

More blocks cut, paired and ready to sew...

Next block to make.

 

 

I'm so happy to announce (what half of you already know) that I won the sign up giveaway for Hands 2 Help Quilt Challenge at Confessions of a Fabric Addict, and I just now ordered my fabric, from the sponsor, Fabric N Quilts. I'll show it off when it arrives. I'm so excited!

 

I also won a free paper piecing pattern from Janeen of Quilt Art Designs. She had a giveaway for her birthday. Isn't that a great way to celebrate? {I remember second grade when my Mom brought ice cream bars to school for the whole class room (first and second graders) on my birthday. It was a big surprise to me.} Anyway, I chose the lamb pattern, and I think I'll go back and buy the cute little sheep dog - (black and white) - he is that cute. Check out her Craftsy store to see what I'm talking about.

 

So since I won twice last week, I picked the numbers for the lottery tickets my hubby bought... I guess the third time isn't always the charm... no dice, we didn't win. Awww! but I am extremely happy about the other two wins, and when the fabric comes, you will be the first to see it.

 

Have a happy week,

Hugs,

Terri

Butterflies in Orange and Blue

Remember the butterfly patterns I colored here?  Well, these are them in fabric!

And I want to show you the third set of winnings I got yesterday.
I won the cat fabric from Julierosequilts . I couldn't believe I won a third time... going to buy a lottery ticket tomorrow.  And here's what I won...

four pieces here

3 pieces here (Isn't that Halloween fabric on the left?)

another 3 here

 

3 again here

1 piece of cats on a checkerboard fabric, a house pattern, an I Spy template for stars (from hexagons and triangles) and some thread treatment in the center (badly photographed - sorry)

 

Anyway, I had a ball opening the package... Thank you Julie!  I can't wait to put some cats into my dogs with floppy ears quilt. ( a UFO)  I think that would be funny.

 

Sew that is all for now.... Have a wonderful weekend.

Hugs,

Terri

OMG! I'm a winner 2 times this week!

You are not going to believe my luck!

Last week Angie from Quilting Readers Garden emailed that I had won a prize!!!! Here's what arrived in the snail mail.

 Cute patterns for an applique quilted calendar.

Cardinal patterns, and two kinds of thread.

and 3 fat quarters!

I was quite surprised and excited to win... who wouldn't be, right?  She runs a linky for hexies on Fridays. Stop by and check it out.

I learned about the second winnings on Sunday from Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict's Hands 2 Help winners announcement. There were 65 participants - and we all won!!!!   I'm getting an In From The Cold charm pack designed by Kate Spain! If you'd like to see what others won, check out the link above. Sarah will be running this challenge again next year, so start sewing now!!!!!!!!! She picks two charities and you can donate to either or both. She also has informative posts (tutorials) and guest writers and linky parties to share your work or works. It's a great way to use up stash for good causes.

I've gotten out a UFO I started before the newest grandguy was born, and figured I'd give him the I Spy for his first birthday (coming up in Aug.).  Remember this?

I'm quilting around the small squares - the pictures - so it's taking forever to shove the quilt through the hole of the machine 4 times for each square. I hope I remember this next time I quilt. I just don't seem to learn my lessons well.

and a close-up.

 

 

And in the evenings I'm hand sewing hexie flowers for a dolly quilt for Get Your Mrs. Claus On. (See the button on the sidebar.)  I have to do something in the evenings or I fall asleep!

 

 

I also want to share a picture - well, 2 really - of my Mimosa Tree blooming now. It is not only beautiful, but smells like heaven - sweet, but not choakingly, and the cutest pink puffball blossoms.

 

This is only the bottom half!

 

And now back to the quilting!

 

Hugs,

Terri

We're off...

but you knew that!
We're going to South Lake Tahoe for a few days of a different view, and for our anniversary last week. Plants all watered, windows and doors all locked. But I wanted to show you the lovely jelly roll I got as winnings in the Tetris Challenge - see the side bar for a link. It arrived on Saturday. It's by Moda.

There are three or four of each strip. I think I'll cut some in half the long wise and make some dolly quilts in the jelly roll race style.
Right now on the sewing machine I've got the I Spy being quilted. New grandson due in 10 days. How you holding up Sarah?

See you when we get back.   Hugs,
