Drum Roll Please...And the Winner IS...

Thank you to ALL of you who entered my first Giveaway!  It was even more awesome than I had imagined and I so enjoyed all of your comments about what you would make with the charm packs and your favorite Out of Print fabrics. 

I have 2 of my own charm packs in this print and I think I am going to use them to make my very first "real" quilt.  I'm leaning towards a coin quilt.  Wish me luck...I'm a little nervous! :-)

As for my very favorite OOP fabric, it is the Aqua Seahorses by Heather Ross.  But really, there are SO many OOP prints that I absolutely L.O.V.E.!  And many I could only wish to get my hands on.

Alright, alright...let get to the winner of this Giveaway already! ;-) 

AND the 2 Nest charm packs go to...entry #36 Deserae!

Deserae commented:

"My favorite out of print fabric is Full Moon Forrest! :)"

CONGRATULATIONS, Deserae!  :-)

Again, thank you everyone for entering.  AND...keep a close eye on the blog, I have a really fun little Giveaway coming up that I am really excited about!! 

Have a WONDERFUL Day!

Dog Days of Summer... ;-)

I definitely haven't accomplished much sewing these past few days. For good reason...we have a new family member. I would like to introduce Wrigley Dolce, our 7 week old shih tzu, llaso apso, pomeranian, poodle, chihuahua MUTT! Isn't he super cute? Other than the 5 a.m. yapping this morning, he really is a good little guy. He already follows me around wherever I go and sits at my feet if I'm washing the dishes, eating, sitting at the computer or just standing randomly trying to figure out what I was just about to do. He LOVES to floppily chance the kiddos around and they are so enjoying playing with him, as well!

And yes, my husband is a Cubs fan (Wrigley Field...get it?) I personally am a Rangers fan (hello, I am from Dallas) but that doesn't mean we will be getting another dog just to name him Ranger. We are done having kids AND pets. Our family is officially complete! Woohoo!

Here's a few photos but they don't serve him justice...he's WAY cuter in person!

Ahh...Wrigley!

Have a SUPER Week!

A Little Summeriness For Ya...

Okay, I doubt that "summeriness" is a real word but it is to me...so there!  I couldn't think of a better word to describe my newest rag quilt with all it's brightness and juiciness going on.  I am going to add the suffix -ness to all of my words from this point so bear with my...silliness! :-)  Alright, I'll stop but seriously, I LOVE this quilt.  It makes me smile... 

Introducing the Sweet Summer Orchard Baby Rag Quilt:

So, now that I am done with my goofiness (yep, had to add that one in), I hope that you are all having a FANTASTIC Memorial Day Weekend!

I Am M.I.A. No Longer

So I find that when I am in the middle of trying to get something done quickly everything around me slows me down!  I started this custom order well over a month ago thinking that I would have it finished within 2 weeks but it seems that every time I make a prediction for how long something will take to be completed...it takes twice as long.  I feel like a construction worker! :-)  Within the amount of time it has taken me to finish this quilt I have celebrated 2 of my 3 children's birthdays.  Two very special birthdays I might add.  My oldest just turned the BIG 13 and my youngest just turned the Terrible Two...and he has proven his new title very well.  Boys are definitely different than girls and he is ALL boy. 

Anywho, I am thrilled to announce that I have FINALLY completed this lovely rag quilt for one fantastic lady who I have had the privilege of working with.  I definitely have a special connection with the quilt after all the fabric issues that we endeavored putting the look of this quilt together.  For example, I had found the Dorothy fabric collection that is out of print at an online store and was super shocked and excited that they had all the material I needed in one store only to find out three days later (when I thought it would be arriving in the mail at any time) that they didn't have ANY of the fabrics and had never taken them off their site...UGH.  So then we thought we had found some fabrics to accompany some the fabric I already had only to see that when it arrived...it didn't match with the other fabircs...UGH again!  Finally I found just the right blend of colors and am so thrilled with the outcome.  Here's some pictures to show you the final product...YAY!

Now I am off to work on some new stuff...like the final quilt to add to my Dog Park collection!
