2 SMALL QUILTS AND A GIVEAWAY!!!

I put aside my quilting for a few days, but plan to finish quilting Gone to Texas within the week.  I wanted to make a couple small table toppers for my Etsy shop.  I love sawtooth stars and have made numerous of these little 4 star runners.


I thought I would try something different on this one.

Right before Christmas I reached my 300th post!  I decided to wait until after Christmas to have my giveaway because of all the busyness of the season, plus we were going on a trip, etc.

I will be giving away these 4 fat quarters of reproduction fabric.  They are some of my favorites!

I will also giveaway this pincushion that I made out of wool and stuffed with crushed walnut shells.  The FQs and the pincushion will go to one lucky winner (the table topper quilts are NOT included).  All you have to do is leave a comment.  At noon on February 29, I will draw.

I have enjoyed blogging and have met so many wonderful friends - some in person and some just over the internet.  I've learned so much from other quilters and I want to thank all of you that have inspired me and left sweet comments.  I'm still amazed when I get a comment from the other side of the world!

So, be sure to leave a comment for the giveaway!

    The quilting looks GREAT on the runners. It is fun to experiment with different quilting.I have been looking back at your previous post and found it very interesting how you did the Baptist Fan quilting. Love the pincushion & I can see why those fat quarters are favorites.

    I can see why those fat quarters are some of your favorites....the colors are just the ones I would have picked. Maybe we are of the same mind! I have just started to work with wool and found it to be very forgiving and fun and everything turns out so soft and smooth. I would be tickled pink to win this very important 300th anniversary give-away!

    Wow love your pincushion you did super on it. I know I would never work with wool, cause I just can`t collect another fabric, I just stay with the cottons and I have to say CW fabric is one of them...so I have to put my name in.
    It`s amazing we could have so much to talk about I bet when you first started it was what am I going to talk about. Go back and look at your posts for the first year. you will say did I really write this..VBG
