Pay it Forward: A Ghostly Bloggers Giveaway...

I spent quite some time yesterday giving my blog a new fall makeover, and somewhere in the process it dawned on me...

Oh, no! I forgot to pay it forward!

See, months and months ago, I was the lucky winner in a Pay it Forward giveaway over at Angela's Textile Art. Of course, I was supposed to then pay it forward with a giveaway of my own. I don't know how I let it slip my mind, although when I think about the crazy year I've had, I guess it shouldn't surprise me. Still, it's not like me to forget about something like that, and it's definitely time now to make up for my slacking. :o)

So without further ado... it's time to Pay it Forward!

The prize: Five Halloween Print Fat Quarters



The details: For this giveaway, you must have a blog to enter, so that you, too, can Pay it Forward with a giveaway of your own (hopefully in a more timely manner than I have! LoL). Just leave a comment on this post letting me know you'd like to be entered, and be sure there is either a link to your blog or an email address in the comment, so I can notify you if you win. That's it! On Wednesday, October 21st, I'll draw from the names entered and announce a winner. Good luck! :o)

(Feel free to link back here from your blog, too, and spread the word.)


You might recognize a print or two from above in these Halloween Mini Quilts, from a pattern by Sandi Anderson at A Legacy of Stitches. I made this one for my grandson, Aaron, and his mom, to decorate their new house for Halloween:


And another, for my mom and dad:


I think my pumpkins look like characters from Veggie Tales. LoL Love 'em! There are so many fun projects to make this time of year...

Count me in, okay? I just discovered your blog (from Jean blogging about the PIF giveaway). I signed on now as a follower here. I love your mini Halloween quilts. AND.....I am so jealous you have that shoe and sock pattern of Pat Sloan's. It's no longer on her website and I asked her if it would ever be brought out as a pattern we could buy when I saw her at a guild last year and she wasn't sure. I wish I could get a copy of those socks and shoes. I really want to make them!!! Yours are looking great so far!!!

Playing Catch Up Again: The Guest Room (My 400th Post!)

Image
Well, surprise surprise. My 400th blog post! And wouldn't you know it's my first one in three months? (Imagine how many there would be if I weren't the world's worst blogger. LoL) So I just went through my last three months worth of photos and was amazed at how much has happened around here in that time. It's really no wonder I don't find time to blog... Now, to play catch up again. Or at least get started playing catch up. ;o) So... back in January, I wrote about our youngest son moving into a new room, which we painted bright yellow . Well, in April our 18-year-old daughter decided it was time to leave the nest, freeing up the teenager-coveted big room in the basement. Of course, little brother then wanted to move -- again -- and wished for the new room to be bright yellow -- again. Deja vu... I know, it sounds crazy. But I've been waiting a long time for the mom-coveted main floor bedroom to use as a guest room. (Yes, I know. I just set up a guest room...

My Family Left Me...

... but only for the weekend. :o) (Added Friday, February 3: As busy as I was this week, turns out this is my only finish, so I'm linking up this post today with Amylouwho's Sew & Tell Friday and TGIFF at Missy Mac Creations .) While they were away, I had a fun night of sewing with my son's girlfriend. Her mom has been planning an outfit for her to dance in a powwow at the end of March, and they want to applique a Lone Star on the back of the dance shawl. Would I mind helping her with it? LoL Silly girl. It was my first attempt at a Lone Star, and I usually avoid sewing diamonds altogether, so I'll admit I was a little nervous about how it would turn out. Still, it couldn't hurt to try. We started out with this photo for inspiration. We both really liked the swirly layout of the colors, even though it would make the assembly a bit trickier. A little more Googling brought us to " The Challenge of a Lone Star Quilt ," an excellent tutorial (th...

UFO Challenge: January Finish!

Image
I've been trying to keep from showing a full photo of this quilt in my weekly updates, just so I could have a big "reveal" with the final post. Finally the time has come! I really didn't think I could do it, but yes, it is finished -- and with a few days to spare. Now I know what I'm capable of if I just set my mind to something! And here it is, my no-longer-a-UFO, hand-appliqued rose quilt... The finished size is approximately 52" x 67." Hard to tell from this picture, but it is a large wallhanging. This photo gives a better size reference: As you can see, I had to pull the couch away from the wall to take the first picture. Some rearranging is in order if it's going to live in this room permanently. That big ball of fluff is our cat, Sarabi, who came to live with us from the shelter last summer. It hasn't taken her long to make herself at home. Here she is, glaring at our other cat, Reesa, and staking her claim on the cushiest spot i...
