I have your blog on my Bloglovin feed so I don't miss it.
I love the "McCalls" in the middle on the top row, reminds me of my mother who made beautiful garments

Thanks to everyone for entering.

A very vintage kitchen print can come live at your house!

I scored 2 3/4 yards of this vintage kitchen print for $3

at my local thrift shop.

It's 35 inches wide, and never been washed

and in very clean condition.

I like the shape of the tea and coffee pots

and the greens and reds and yellows.

I'm thinking this will make a bunch of tea cozies

and table runners

or maybe I should just make curtains?

I'm also willing to share some.

I'll cut a chunk for two lucky readers,

one international, and one Canadian.

Please make sure you're not a no-reply blogger

or leave your email address in the comment.

Just leave a comment to enter.

And if you're someone who might know the date of this print,

please let me know.
I'll pick a winner on Thursday, December 13.



Stars on the wall

I'm auditioning borders for my skinny string star.

I'm thinking this will be a medallion style quilt.

The centre star measures 18 inches.

Here it is with a wide green inner border and skinny white with black print.

Or I may have it float in a sea of green.

If you're visiting here from Judy's Design Wall Mondays,

I'm running a giveway here. There's still time to enter!

Let's celebrate

So I have two reasons to celebrate: a birthday this weekend, and I cleaned up my sewing room lately. If all of you lovely followers lived close by, I'd invite you over to pick out  some scrappy goodness, a bag full of strings, or even a UFO. Instead, I'll give a scrappy or selvage needlecase sort of like the ones above to a few lucky readers. (I have a few in progress, but they're not quite done yet.) Please comment and tell me how you use Flickr photo sharing and why. If you don't use Flickr, say hello anyway. I'm wondering if I should bump up my Flickr postings or not. I belong to many groups, but it seems my pix don't attract as many comments as my blog. Comment by midnight, Monday, May 31 for a chance to win.
