Lazy Saturday/Giveaway

How's your weekend so far?  If you have read any of my previous posts, you know that my brother is visiting.  It is so nice to see him after so long.  We had more {somewhat unexpected} guests arrive last night.  My girlfriend from Seattle & her husband came into town for a wedding & needed a place to sleep!  We were so happy that they thought to call us.  :-)  All in all, this has been a very pleasant weekend for me.

I came across this trivia question & thought that it would be fun to give out a prize to the first person that had the right answer!

Wanna play??  :-)

The prize will be your choice of 1 of the pictured fat quarters, or 1 of the Lily & Will Panels in your choice of color.

Tivia question:


Can you answer all seven of the following questions with the same word?

1. The word has seven letters....
2. Preceded God...
3. Greater than God...
4. More Evil than the devil...
5. All poor people have it...
6. Wealthy people need it....
7. If you eat it, you will die.

You may answer here or on my Facebook page!

Airport Adventures

My brother flew in yesterday to spend some time with me.  We haven't seen each other in about 6 years.  We've always been pretty close, but now live very far apart.  :-(

Here he is in his younger days.

He's the one on the left.  :-)  Isn't he cute??

Anyhow, I was to pick him up at the airport yesterday.  I told him that I would park & meet him as soon as he was out of security.  Wonders of all wonders…his flight arrived EARLY!  Now, he does not have a cell phone because his home is out of the country these days, so he can not call me to let me know that he arrived early.  We figure that he walked right past me as my back was turned looking at the arrival board for 30 seconds!!!  SO…1 1/2 hours & 4 over the loud speaker pages

later, we finally found each other!  UN-NERVING!!

All is well.  We are both safe &

sound & catching up on lost time.  :-)

I Would Love Your Feedback

So…I'm toying with the idea of selling quilt "kits" in my ETSY shoppe.  I'd love to hear your thoughts about kits.  Good, bad, indifferent.  One like this:

Or even a BOM {block of the month}

I would sure appreciate ANY feedback!  Thank you!

Ladies Weekend Part II

I had so much fun using up my scraps to make these lovely little bags.

Every one of these bags was made from the leftovers of a quilt. All except the red polka dot.  It was a fat quarter.

The insides are just a pretty as the outsides, too!!

There's one large & one small that match.

I would like to sell these bags on etsy, however, I'm thinking that I should have a separate store from my fabric shoppe.

What do you think??

Ladies Crafting Weekend

So some of you have already seen the baby quilts that MFOD {my favorite oldest daughter} made this weekend.

Our sustenance:

Okay…that wasn't all that we had.

These were my favorites, though.  :-)

MFOD was our cook.  Thank you, Sweetie!!!

These guys were just visitors.  Spending only 2 of the 4 nights.

Yep!  That's my newest grandson & his beautiful momma.

My mess creative corner looked like this:

I'm thinking that I will wait until tomorrow to show you what came of all of this lovely fabric.

Happy Monday!

Happy Mother's Day Weekend!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mom's out there!

I LOVE being a mother of 2 & a grandmother to 3

(…at this moment).  Always hoping for more!  :-)

I don't get to celebrate with my mother anymore.

I lost her in 1997.  I miss her very much.

I have no idea how old she is in this picture.

She's beautiful, don't you think?

I'm posting her picture on my Facebook page for all to see.

I would love it if you would share a picture of

YOUR mother on my Facebook page,

also, & tell me about her.

Do you still get to celebrate Mother's Day with her?

Moda Love

Have you seen this fabric line yet?

You have probably seen it on a blog or two,

if you frequent sewing blogs.

My guess is that this fabric line will sell out very quickly at your LQS!

Just LOOK at these:

Oh. So. YUMMY!

This is my choice of pattern for this fabric line:

It's called "hopscotch" by thimble blossoms and can be found here, as well as other thimble blossom patterns,

or at your LQS.

Which fabric or pattern is YOUR favorite?
