Another March Finish!

Another March Finish!

 

Here’s the after washing and drying picture of my homespun Stacked Squares quilt.  Yes, I have made several of these quilts.  I believe this is the 12th one!  Every time I start one of these for myself, I end up giving it away!  So, I’ll be starting another one for me.  13 is a lucky number in our house, so I’ll keep that one for me!  Maybe!!

 

 

 

 

Here’s a view before washing and drying.  I love how the homespun shrinks up and gets all cuddly and wrinkly.  I’m using Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton select batting.

 

I’m linking up to Such a Sew and Sew: A Stitch in Time… for another March finish.  My first finish was a little potholder.

Thanks for looking and just keep stitchin’ !

Spoiler Alert to my sister, Patty!

I’m still working on my Trash to Treasure Pineapple quilt but I got sidetracked this week with my sister’s T-shirt quilt.  This is one of those projects that keeps getting set aside but now I’m determined to finish this “Loose End”!  Patty helped me out this week by eliminating some of the t-shirts and they may end up in a second quilt!

 

So, I’m off and sewing!  Because the t-shirt panels are various sizes, I’m making 4 vertical rows and building the smaller motifs to fit the row width.  I love it!!

And the winners are….

It’s time to draw the winners of my  Blog Hop Giveaway!

A big thank you to everyone who entered my giveaway and “hi” to my new followers!   I was sure the purse/tote pack was leading but in the end the quilt pack had 3 more comments.

My selecting system was very low tech, (writing all the names on a slip of paper), I had fun re-reading the comments and visiting the comment makers blogs!

And I discovered a new site stat that shows what country my blog visitors are in.   Last week, my blog was visited by readers from 30 different countries!  Isn’t that amazing!

My spring break visiting daughter drew the winners and…..(drum roll….)

The winner of the purse pack is:

Kathy A –   “#1 purse pack would be GREAT! I hope I win! thanks”

The winner of the quilt pack is:

Mary –  “I’d love to win the quilt patterns!Thanks for the chance.”

Check your emails!

Hope you had a great weekend, I had a fun and crazy time with family!  So tomorrow I’ll be back to stitchin’ !

Thanks!

Oops!! And a Thank-you!

Oops!! And a Thank-you!

A big thank you to Kristen at Ten Quilts for informing me that my comment for her giveaway showed as a “no-reply” blogger!  Oops!!!  I don’t know how it happened but my email had been “removed” from my Blogger profile.  Thanks to Kristen, I have fixed it but my earlier Blog Hop comments are probably still labeled as “no reply”.  Oh well, it happens!

Another thank you to everyone who has entered my Blog Hop giveaway!  There is still time to enter!   My daughter is visiting from college and she will draw the winners on Sunday!  I will notify the winners by email ASAP!

Hope you have a great weekend planned, I will be celebrating with visiting family!  I might get some sewing or LAQ mixed in there, too.  Thanks for looking and just keep stitchin’ !  Linda

My design wall is sparse but it’s the beginning of a Trash To Treasure quilt!  I’m using the Pineapple Tool by Gyleen X. Fitzgerald and I have the book, too.  I’m making the scrappiest version that starts with a red center and every strip is different.  I like it!  My next blocks will be faster now that I’ve got the “system” figured out and organized by strips!  I need about 3 pounds of strips so I’ll be cutting more!

 

 

It’s a good thing that Quilting Gallery’s blog hop is going on all week, I still have several letters of the alphabet to complete!  Thanks to all those who have visited my blog and entered my giveaway!  It’s fun isn’t it?!   Some of the commentators have blogs and it’s fun to check them out, too.

Keep hopping and stitchin’ !
