The boss is away! 1st Blog-giveaway.

Print This Post O.K. So here's how the day went. I sewed, made mistakes, ripped. Sewed, made mistakes ripped. I know we all have those days where your intentions are good but for every step you take forward, you go back. If I was at home I would have quit and gone for a walk with the dog (more about "Naughty Nevada", the new black lab pup later)but when I am at "work" I must stick with the project. I know many of you have seen the "pleated pillow samples" here at the shop. They are a favorite of mine, done in soft porch pastels. Well, I am making a set in Christmas fabric and this is one of those times where I wish I knew how to post a photo, they are cute. A photo would speak the loudest. Again I will learn. Just a heads up for everyone that is joining us for Quilt Retreat in the fall. I am going to lobby hard for the pillows to be one of our projects. One jelly roll makes three pillows, great gifts or just enjoy for yourself.
Have you seen the new "Snap Sacks". They are quick projects, tablerunner or table-topper size, all fabric, backing, binding and pattern in a sack. A new one is released each month, they are quick and fun. We have moved on to month #4 and there are samples of each and everyone in the shop.
Finally, my mistakes today might be your gift tomorrow. I thought it might be fun to send you on a little hunt around the shop. Although Melissa and I work hard on the quality of our samples, mistakes happen. The project I worked on today required emergency piecing, twice. So, here's the deal. Stop in the shop and if you can find my mistakes, you can choose a free fat quarter from the basket at check-out. This giveaway is blog driven only, it will not be advertised at the shop. Don't wait, limited to the first 25 detectives. I'll even give you a clue.

I am not a big quilt

or even a throw

I'm quite small as you can see

As much work as it took to get me together

I'm as pretty as pretty can be.

Good Luck!

Till next time.
