Thank you for this giveaway. I was a secretary before longarming full time. Quilting has given me application for math, but more importantly a greater respect for our country’s history. Happy New Year!
A big thanks to everyone who participated! I loved all your comments!

Thank you to everyone who has commented with their personal stories on my book giveaway post. I love them!
Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker is a novel that reads like a diary, a true story looking into the life of someone who was “behind the scenes” during a tumultuous time of our country. We know history, but we don’t know the whole story. Jennifer Chiaverini has written a must read for historical fiction fans. After reading the book, you’ll want to know more about this woman, Elizabeth Keckley, and the amazing life she lived. My only disappointment with the book is that it didn’t have pictures of the dresses and wardrobe fittings! For the fans of Chiaverini’s Elm Creek series, you’ll be happy to know there is a quilt story weaved in.
There is still time to win this book! Leave a comment on this post before midnight CST and you’ll be entered to win. The winner will announced tomorrow! Thank you and good luck to all! 🙂 Linda
Yes, it’s a pouch made out of tape measures! I have been wanting to make a little holder for my small Kindle but this Christmas present is perfect! Our daughter works at the Luther College book store and they get the most interesting merchandise. I love it! I’m off the hook for making something now.
However, here’s a fun tutorial for an e-reader carrier.
Here’s a couple pictures of the quilt I’m working on. It’s a cheater quilt we found in my sister’s closet! I’m having lots of fun quilting different designs in the middle of each flower. It’s hard to photograph when it’s still on the longarm, you can click the picture for a better view!

This is another large original quilt by Linda P. using poppy panels and lots of random piecing. I love how she used multiple fabrics and pieced elements to make this quilt. The quilting is a mixture of freehand “drawings”. Each element has it’s own style of texture. Enjoy the pics!
And Linda never fails to surprise me with her “everything but the kitchen sink” backs.

What’s on my design wall today? Two Lil’ Twister Potholders completed using my potholder or small project binding tutorial.
In a previous post, I gave brief instructions for using a 5 inch square to make this little potholder with the Lil’ Twister Tool by Country Schoolhouse.
After several inquiries about how I attached the binding with the little loop, I’ve prepared a complete tutorial! Here’s the pdf of Lil’ Twister Potholder Binding Tutorial .
Have fun!
