100 Followers Giveaway

A few weeks ago I was just shy of reaching the 100 followers mark on my blog.  Donna from Donna’s Lavender Nest generously donated this beautiful pack of five Lecien fat quarters from her Etsy Shop to mark the occasion.

To win, just leave a comment that you are a follower.  I will randomly pick a winner next Wednesday.  Open to international followers too.

I finished up quilting my Oh Deer quilt this morning.  It turned out pretty good—now I am just waiting on the binding fabric from the Madrona Road collection to arrive.   I will be working on Esther’s Halloween costume in the meantime.  She is going to be a witch.  I am using the Urban Prairie Dress pattern by Violet Craft and some spooky Halloween fabric she picked out herself.

It is cold and rainy here in southern Maryland, just the perfect weather to curl up under a quilt.  Have a great week!

Where I Sew

Kathy is having a Where I Sew linky party, so I am posting this photo of my sewing tables.  I am ashamed to say that this is what it always looks like.

This is where Bea sews.  It’s on the wall to the side of my tables so I can keep an eye on her crafting or she can do her homework while I sew.

And just yesterday I borrowed back my first sewing machine that I let my friend borrow when she wanted to learn to sew.

It’s so cute, with purple knobs, but it sews so FAST!!!!  There is just no way to sew slowly on this machine, which is one of the reasons I never sewed much until I got my newer machine.  The plan is that I am going to sell both of these machines and buy Bea a Janome DC1050.  On that model the speed is adjustable and it has a needle up/down function.

Everybody is hard at work sewing and coloring this morning!
