Pattern, Pattern, Who Gets the Pattern?

Congratulations to #5 - Judy!  Judy was randomly chosen to get this PATTERN I made emailed to her as a PDF file.  (Judy, can you send me your email?  I'm having trouble locating it.)  I must say that I am very intrigued by the dark blue / light blue / white / rust combination that was suggested by Cheryl.  Nice!  Contests always suck since there can only be one winner.  However, if anyone really wants to try it, it's cheap ($6) and can be found here:  "In The Meadow" PATTERN

Quilt Pattern Give-Away

While I'm busy working on the preschool fundraiser quilt, I thought I would post another draw!  This time, the winner will get a copy of the quilt pattern I have in my etsy store.  I will mail it to the recipient in PDF format.  It's based on a traditional 'in-the-meadow block', but I think the new name has become 'square in a square'.

in the meadow / square in a square

It's a full size quilt made of 63 blocks in four color groups.  The pattern includes measurements for fabric amounts in metric and imperial.  There are quilting instructions included for easy "circles" on small machines.  It's a great pattern if you have precut jelly rolls too!  Diagrams and photos are throughout the instructions.  

i made this in autumn colors for our living room

Want to try it out?  I would love feedback on the pattern.  Leave a comment telling me what four colors you would like to make this in.  I used cranberry centres, chocolate brown, maple, and butter.  haha - mmmmmm.  The winner will be chosen by a random number generator on Sunday midnight.  The winner will be announced on Monday morning!  Good luck!

Hey Holiday Shoppers!

It's completely snowing outside.  In fact there is a drift of snow in the backyard nearly to my waist!  At -25 celcius with the windchill, we've stayed in all day and worked on various crafts (me and the kids).  They color and built farmyards.  I've been working on 'Grandma's Cabin' which I figure you've already seen a lot of.  So, I thought I would use this post to list some items I have for sale if you want to make me an offer, or pass it on to people stumped for gift ideas.

Seriously, if you love any of them, make me an offer.  Don't be shy.  But don't be mean either!  : )

I also have a quilt pattern in PDF for sale that I can email you.  It is from a quilt I made several years ago for my living room.  It includes yardage and quilting instructions for small machines.  You can substitute your own 4 favorite colors too of course.  It does not include binding instructions (most don't).  I can provide you with online tutorials if you need.

In the mean time, my exhibit at the Crimson Gallery comes down Sunday morning.  It's been such a great opportunity!  I'm so glad I found the courage to do it.  I've sold several major pieces of my fibre art which is VERY thrilling for me.  Thank you to everyone who has complimented on or purchased my work!  It sure takes my fear out of being so public.


...now to build a fire and go make some supper. Have a good night!
