Summer Funk??

Is anyone is a Summer funk when it comes to sewing? Too much lazing around enjoying the sun and water? Well, come join us on Saturday the 31st. Hop on to the forum and join in the virtual quilting bee.

There are a few members of our forum that have the Summer blues big time, so we are all going to gather round our computers and hop up to our sewing machines, back and forth...back and forth...and "make-something-for-yourself".

I have recently done up a nice, cozy curtain for one of our bedroom windows. We live in snow country now, we will need something to help keep the heat in, and cold out. Isn't it bright and cheerful??


So I'll be making another one this Saturday, for our other window. It wont be just like this one, but same colors, similar style.

We are starting to come to an end in our Round Robin swap. I'm so excited! I'm a non-peeker, I haven't looked at my round robin since I sent off the medallion. So I have no idea what it looks like, I just know it's going to be awesome though!

Our Summer table runner swap is nearing the finish date too. We have some lovely runners already made and sent to swap partners. You can view them here:

I have my partner's runner all finished, just need to pop it in the mail. It's going to Australia, so I want to get it out as soon as I can. I can't wait to see what my partner has made me!

If you missed last weeks Summer Mystery, head over to the Q&N store and buy it! It's another cute, lovely mystery pattern from Jess.

OH, and Jess is holding a sale this weekend! You don't want to miss that. Head over to the Q&N store, and see what goodies she has at 25% off all fabric and kits! including sale stuff that is already reduced!!! WoOHOO!

Have a great day all, hope to see some of you at the forum!

Till next time...

WINNER ANNOUNCED!

YAY!!!! Congrats to Delia of New Hampshire! Sammy Joe drew her name as the winner of the Summer Mystery Quilt Pattern contest. Delia has already chosen her fabrics to use when she receives her prize pattern!

Here is Delia's tip that she posted on our Quilt and Needle Forum:
"My tip is to use large, plastic paper clips to hold your binding in place for hand-stitching. They clamp down nicely, don't hurt or stain the fabric, can be easily moved along out of your way, and won't prick your fingers. Oh, and they're cheap. Love 'em"

Thanks for the great tip, Delia!
