100th Blog Give Away


This is it. Blog 100. Hard to believe. Sorry it has taken me a few weeks to get here. Been real busy getting customer quilts ready for Christmas. 2 t-shirt quilt to do from scratch and I will be finished. YEAH!!! Then to my projects for Christmas presents for the family. Journal covers, pillow cases and more pillowcases. What can I say. Then after Christmas I get to quilt on my own quilts. YEAH!! I know I have 5 or 6 tops to finish.




Anyway I bet you are wondering what I am going to give away. I have been wondering the same thing. LOL. Ok, here it is a fabric basket with a bakers dozen of fat quarters. Here are the rules. Leave a commit on this message, make sure it has your e-mail, so I can contact you when you win. I will wait 1 week, that means next Friday, I will draw the winning name.
Happy Quilting,
Vicki

Dolls Dolls Dolls







My friend Kathy Houser makes Dolls, not dolls, but Dolls. She was published in a Doll magazine, cant remember the name, last year. Kathy has been teaching Doll making at our Quilters of SC retreat for a few years. I havent taken the class yet, but plan to in the future. I have her permission to post some pictures of her Dolls, so I can share with you. You can find out more about Kathy's Dolls on her blog, http://uniquepersonalities.blogspot.com/

Sissors pouch

My scissor pouch wore out. I had holes in it. I use this to hold small scissors for trimming threads while quilting on the longarm. I also keep tape measure and marker in it. It has lasted me at least 4 years. Finally a hole too big to keep everything in. So, tonite I made a new one. This is and Eleanor Burns pattern from long time ago. I updated the fabric and WOW look what I have. Maybe I wont loose my scissors tomorrow. LOL I love the wacky little grimlins on the new fabric.
You know, I am getting close to 100 posts. Hummm. What can I do??? I am thinking give away. Maybe a pouch??? We will see. Watch and see what I can come up with. Sometimes I am slow posting, so dont give up on me.
Happy Quilting

Will have to wait until I get customers quilts caught up. Probably after Christmas. I may have to make this again. Thanks to Nancy Miller for the wonder Mystery Quilt class.
