and I am so excited I can hardly stand it!
If you remember a while back, I was asking about machines. In the end, price won over, and after more months and months of deliberating, I finally went with the Janome 6600.
I am so excited…and I’m going to be stalking my LQS for it to arrive :)
Is it startitis if you’d already started all of the projects? Hmmm. I have been working on so many lovely things lately…and I sure haven’t been sticking with any of them!
First up is the Block 10 from the Mystery BOM. This one was fun to make.
Next are blocks from the pinwheel quilt along. Blocks 4:
and Blocks 7:
Here’s what my Roundabout (March schnibble) looks like:
I have almost cut out all of my April schnibble pieces…and you’ll love it so far! I am! But…I won’t show any sneaks on that one for a bit longer :)
Also, remember way back when…I made the quilt for my sister out of Eden? I didn’t have great pictures, and she finally took some for me! Here is the finished product:
You can sort of see it here… I added ric rac between the design and the border to help emphasize that “break”. This fabric all put together almost looks like watercolors. I love the effect. The pattern is by Thimbleblossoms…Double Dip, and uses 1/2 of a layer cake and some yardage. I stitched in the ditch for the middle of the quilt, and then I did lots of really close together lines for the outer border. I like the effect.
Here is the pillow that I made her:
No patter here. Just sewed together some scraps, made some yo-yos and threw them together. Kinda cute.
Alrighty peeps. I’m off to work…
I’ve done it again…
Wanna join in?
I’m using this:
I already ordered my ruler and everything! Can’t wait :)
I’m gonna keep it simple this month.
Oh…don’t forget to enter the giveaway for the Sweetwater buttons. Comment on the previous post…that one down there…
This giveaway has a story.
SO…apparently the random number generator has been on my side lately.
Like…A LOT on my side. I’ve been very fortunate in the giveaway department.
Most recently I won the giveaway on Sweetwater’s blog. They had a giveaway for some of their new cool buttons that match all of their fabric. FUN! SO I entered…naturally. And I won.
But, you see, just a few months ago, they had a giveaway for some fabric labels, and I won those too. Feeling so so so guilty for winning two things so close together, and on the same blog, I emailed the lovely ladies at Sweetwater to see if I could in turn offer the giveaway again here…TO YOU!
And they said yes.
Here’s how you can win them (3 chances to enter):
I will pick a winner on Friday, April 9th.
Oh, and make sure that you go visit Sweetwater’s etsy site here. I mean, I’m gonna have to go buy some red polka dot ones, and green polka dot ones…and maybe the red Make Life Simple ones…
Good luck!
