Ok -- it's gonna have to start earlier ....

Ok I didn't lie intentionally ... really I didn't. I just wasn't aware of how much stash I would be getting rid of. Sooooo, without further ado, and to keep you ladies from waiting so long. I will have to (becuz of the massive amount) start the giveaways on Sunday. I will post one item with a picture. Feel free to google it to find out more about the item. My son will draw names like I do with all my drawings, and I will post the winner the next day -- you will have to include your email address with your comment.

I will not have the time to track you down... 1 week maximum to claim, if unclaimed after that time -- it will be cycled back in the loop with everything. I have CS mags, Quilting mags, COMPLETE kits, graphs, you name it!! Remember that I am accepting checks or money orders from the post office. If you are a multiple winner, I can hold your items and ship them all at once... saves on shipping.

I will try to list everything accurately as possible -- but please remember that these items were not mine so I don't know if all the threads and charms are included. I do know that everything has a chart-- made sure of that!! I guess that's all for now -- HAVE FUN LADIES!!

September is coming -- Haha!

Ok I know you must think that I am a bit nuts announcing that September is coming ... like ok you already know that and it's still the 1st week of August. So what's the deal you ask?? Welllllll, I will be getting back to giving more stash away!!! YAYYY!~!! Friday I go over to my best friend mother's house, she's cleaning her stash out. She's got tons of cool stuff, OOPs, and tons of older charts that she knows she will never ever finish in this lifetime. She's going to let me take everything that she doesn't want ... I will pick thru and take what I know I will finish... and then guess what??? You guys will reap the benefits of reading my boring blogs!! LOL

The only unfortunate problem this month is postage... I just cannot afford to send it all out. So I just have to ask for you to pay the postage -- and I will ship the very cheapest that I can. Most of the time I can send it to you media mail, which takes a bit longer but it will get there just the same. For those of you overseas, please be mindful of the exchange rate and I can only accept money orders from the post office.

That's it -- are you excited?? I know that I am ... I might be able to show some previews on Saturday and Sunday after I am done going thru the piles and piles of glorious stash.

Stay tuned!!

Sharing my ornie from Louise in the Brooke's Board Ornie Swap in July. It was rec'd today.

Also, here is a finish that I did this weekend and my current project. This Geisha girl has a good ton of blackwork that I am pushing thru right now.

My Critters are coming along fine...

Dracula -- too cute and used up the rest of my black Kreinik

ghost -- I did him on white perf. paper

robot -- Love the retro look to him and did him on silver perf. paper instead

I know it's been awhile since I have posted for you all. I have been working diligently on the Critters sets from my good friend Brooke Nolan. I finished all the Critters in set one and worked most all the ones in set two, but ran out of black Kreinik. And you cannot just finish them with something else... you just cannot. So, I have put them aside till I am able to go shopping for more Kreinik. I will show you today what I have been able to complete. Enjoy!!

love this kitty witch-- a librarian friend loved it so I have to stitch another for myself

the great pumpkin -- I added the bow and didn't stitch the nose

yummy!

made 2 of these

made 2 of these -- really fun

Also, I thought that I would take a picture of my design wall. It's a small wall to the right of me and my desk that I put my finished projects on. Really easy to assemble if you're thinking about making one of your own. I prepared the wall by cleaning it -- mine is paneling until we are able to remodel. I washed it down with some 409, but any all-purpose cleanser will work. Then, I stapled a thin batting to the size I wanted to the wall. Then on top of that, I stapled some basic felt in a neutral color over the batting, pulling taut and folding the edges under for a clean look. It will hold lightweight fabric (like quilt blocks) all by itself but I use straight pins to hold my heavier stuff on there (like the witch sisters and Critters). It gives me inspiration and I can see what I have accomplished. If you're a quilter, this is a great wall for placing blocks and rearranging blocks until you get the look you desire.

I forgot to move my stitching frame -- oh well ...you get the idea

This is a "president's block" for the President of the Quilter's Guild that I am a member of. Each year, the new president of the Quilt Guild get a quilt of her chosen design and color made by members of the guild. I don't care to work with triangles, so this was a challenge for me. The pattern is called "rising star" and she ADORES purple. I had a wonderful instructor today at Little Quilt Factory. Ms. Barbara helped me alot with gentle criticism and a bit of ripping out seams. It's very evident that I need a quarter inch presser foot for my sewing machine!! lol But I had a wonderful time and learned that I really don't like triangles. But I love my president and did it for her!! I know that she will love her finished quilt.

Keep Stitching,
