Flutterby...

 I have been busy this week working on a new quilt. It wasn't all rearranging

furniture and moving the studio around, you know. I'm going to be teaching

new classes in October, so I thought it might be a good idea to sew up the

projects ahead of time. Yeah. Nothing like waiting 'til the last minute.

One class I'll be teaching is a sweet quilt called "Flutterby" by Whimsicals.

It involves hand applique', simple piecing, and finishes under 50" square.

 I'm nearly finished with the center motif and will work the butterfly corners

 next. After they're finished, I'll work my way through the instructions to

 complete the piecing assembly. I like to go step-by-step, so that I know

 where my students might get hung up. I can work out any bugs so they

won't have to. (So far, the instructions are great and easily understood.)

I'll be working on it all weekend, so I'll give you an update on Monday.

1600th Post Giveaway...

 I'm celebrating 1600 blog posts this week, so I wanted to have a

special giveaway for my wonderful, fabulous, loyal friends.

I'm going to give away a Moda™ jelly roll assortment, along with

a piece of pre-joined fabrics from the same line. It will come with 

the pattern to make this piece of fabric into a great little snap bag.

ONE person will win this assortment.

 I also purchased copies of "Home Comforts" by the creative Brenda Riddle,

designer for Acorn Quilt and Gift Company. I have owned my own copies

for some time, and have created some of the designs from her books. I know

that the winners will love her patterns as much as I do.

THREE people will win their own copy of  "Home Comforts".

 I'm also offering Brenda's "Simple Things, Small Joys".

THREE people will win their own copy of this book.
