100 Posts Give-Away!

The Give-Away is now closed. Thank you for entering....I'll have the winners posted soon.

It's taken me awhile (a year and a half), but I've made it to 100 posts. And you all know what that means....a give-away!

So, up for grabs are 4 Fat Quarters from Sandi Henderson's Meadowsweet. This fabric is beautiful, so I thought I'd share.

The second prize is 50, 2.5" squares and a pack of 100 1" Hexagons (die-cut papers). All of the 50 fabrics are different and cut from my stash. I've tried to include some of my favourites, so you'll find a little FMF, a wee bit of Heather Ross, some Amy Butler and Heather Bailey. And a few others too. This should help to get you started on Melanie's Hexagon piece-along!

Let's keep this simple, okay? To win....

1. Leave a comment on this post.
2. If you want another chance, become a follower of my blog and leave a second comment. If you are already a follower, leave a second comment to let me know that too.

I'll draw a winner on Sunday, July 11. I'm happy to ship anywhere.

Good Luck!

Oops I forgot a title...how about Hand Sewing Convert?!?

I decided to join the local Quilt Guild here in Prince George. Everyone was extremely welcoming at last month's meeting and there were even a couple of members close to my age with young(ish) kids.

The Guild has an Applique Social twice a month - but the nice ladies told me that any kind of hand sewing is just fine. I don't do much hand sewing (I actually have 2 quilts in my house that are currently being used on beds that have only about 75% of the binding sewn on). But I'm in desperate need of some social time.

So last week I printed out some of Melanie's 1" hexes and joined the group. It was fabulous. I got my much needed social time with other women who love fabric and sewing as much as I do. And I got to make some fun hexagons. I may become a hand-sewing convert. And I may have to join Melanie's Quilt Along too.

What about you? Do you like to hand sew? If so, what do you like to make?

Quilt Along, Quilt Along...

Why do you tempt me so???

I just can't resist a good quilt along! So when Julie posted her instructions for the Hexagon Quilt Along, I just had to jump in. A perfect project for my red & aqua stash.

The only problem is that I realized that in my earnest to collect aqua prints, my red stash has really dwindled. And I love red...how did this happen? Does that mean more fabric shopping??? (Must resist, must resist, must resist...)

And, no, I haven't even started my Paint Box Quilt Along yet. But I will. When I get the nerve to open up my Kona Jelly Roll!

Happy Monday!
