Blogging Buddy Giveaway + Snowladies

(this picture is just because; Lydia's latest flower for a friend's purse, too cute!)

I've enjoyed the blogging friendship of a few special people, you know, the ones who always try to get back to you, or seem to post ideas that help you to become better at your craft. Sometimes its that commonality of design that is motivation, and sometimes, it's just the person's heart. I do enjoy "conversations" with Sew Cal Gal .

Some of her posts are awesome in their information, she presents history, methods and plenty of pictures, don't you love that?!? Well, she is having a most perfect giveaway, one that includes the happy prints of the colorful Mary Engelbreit, and that makes it right up my alley. So, I'm only telling you about it, because it's one more chance for me... *VBG* Okay, no, really, go join in....

I"ll leave you with the progress for the class snowman swap; mine is a snowlady...

fabric selections are narrowing, but not set,
hope my birdie turns out as cute as Larry's drawing is...

cute little carrot noses,

and the leftover pieces with the
adhesive backing, hmm, what will these be?

Enjoy your weekend!
Happy Quilting,

Out of the Blue

Whims. don't you love them? I call them "wild hairs", too.

I have been kinda busy with other things, creative things, but not sewing.


Larry cut, I painted and attached the baseboards Saturday with the
help of our good friends, the Pates. (this is Karl, my 'son' by friendship!)
Larry and I moved the furniture in after church Sunday.
Last night, I started taping off the door facings, and my sweet Larry said,
"Don't paint. You have tomorrow off from school. Sew. The other things can wait."

Uh, um. . .Okay!

This morning, that whim thing happened, here's the 'blue':


I am having some cutting fun.

Meanwhile, that SewCalGal Darlene shared another wonderful fabric designer Lila Tueller and her wonderful giveaway. She has made a quilt.

It is out of her new fabric line, Eden. . .


it has dimensional beauty with little ruffles, mm-mm-m. . .


Go check it out for yourself, there are more yummy pictures. . .

Happy Quilting,
Pokey
