Giveaway...

In the SPIRIT of friendship...I'm going to give 3 of you out there a third of this lovely bundle.  That's right, I'm going to open up this fq & divide it by 3...LOL!  I wanted to do this last month but with school, T-ball and everything else in-between I didn't have the energy.  The reason?  Well, it was 2 years ago when I found Kelly's blog.  And ever since then I've been inspired/touched by what I see out in blog land.  So I wanted to do something nice for the ladies (I don't think there are any men out there) that stop by to see what I've been up to & for the ladies that I call my support group (aka. followers).  I'm not saying we have to be BFF's but I appreciate being a part of this wonderful group.  So, if you'd like to be entered...(I'm using the K.I.S.S method)...answer me this:

If you were a quilt, what style/pattern quilt would you be?  (I'd be a patchwork quilt.)

I will pick the winners on Sunday, June 12.  DRAWING RESCHEDULED FOR MONDAY NIGHT (6/13).  Everyone is welcome to join in on the fun!

Have a wonderful week!!!

(ps...imagine the song "You are my sunshine..." playing in the backround while you're reading this post....)

This giveaway is now closed.

CGQC May(?)/June Goals...

 I'm a little behind so I'll just focus on June, I have a few things I'd like to complete/start:

1. Red, White & Blue pillow case.  I need to go through my stash to find the right fabrics.  This is for Carol of Brown Quilts.  Carol had a real touching post & if your interested in making a special kind of pillow case, you can check it out here.
2. Bind Scratch made of Chic or Treat.
3. Start on the Log-A-Load t-shirt quilt...needs to be completed by the first week in August.
4. Get a jump start on the Carolina bag!  This is one of Kim's, of Sherrod Studio, patterns.  You can find more of her patterns here.

Even though I've listed my goals, I reserve the right to add or change my list...lol! Have a great weekend!

Gail's Quilt



 Before I talk about this quilt, is anyone out there still having problems leaving comments?  I am.  I guess I'll just have to get over it...for now.  Maybe I'll try blog surfing/commenting tomorrow.

ANYHOO...this is Gail's quilt.  I just finished it a couple of days ago.  She has the most coolest vintage fabrics.  The yellow butterfly brought back sweet memories because we had those sheets when I was growing up...lol!  I put an iron-on stabilizer on each block.  All of the fabrics needed a little support and by adding the stabilizer this quilt should last a very long time.  I read on someone's blog about using stabilizer because I wouldn't have known.  Gail found the perfect binding to go with her quilt, it's from the Dream On line.  The backing was supposed to be all Bella Solid white.  But I also had some yardage from the Dream On collection and decided to add a 5 inch strip to the middle of the backing (pic #4).  I love everything about this quilt...the fabric & style just fit.  I can't wait for Gail to see it in person because quilts are so much more beautiful in person.

I'm looking forward to doing some blog surfing tomorrow.  I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

ps...when I took pictures of the quilts on the the fallen tree, I had a sheet underneath the quilt.
