I'm so excited....and I just can't hide it......

I'm super excited to share my news with you all!

Last year I was asked by the very talented 

Cathy Haberman of Hands On Design

if I would be interested in designing a bag

around a chart she would design.

Of course I said YES!

This is what we came up with.

It's just so fun and bright

and represents all the things I love about stitching!

This pattern will be released at the upcoming

Needlework Show this month

 and will be available to purchase

 from your favorite Needlework shops very soon.

It just makes me want to dance :)

The Winner of Week #4 is.......

Final Week is here!

 It's crazy how fast January has gone by!

I apologize for not posting much last week

and for the late post today.

I've been battling the flu

and haven't done much besides

veg out on the couch and stitch.

Between the low grade fever and annoying cough,

I've been exhausted for about a week.

WEEK #3

One lucky winner will receive this stinkin adorable

Fat Quarter Bundle called "Just for Fun"

from SistersAndQuilters on etsy!

(I'm in love with this fabric....shhhhh)

I'm feelin' the LOVE

So this is what I worked on last night.

I used the adorable charm pack 

of "Surrounded by Love" by Deb Strain

and I used a block pattern from the  book

"Another Bite of Schnibbles".

The block is called the Round About.

I did 16 blocks instead of 25 blocks

and I used the 1" strips left over after cutting the blocks

 for an accent between sashing strips.

I'm pleased with the way it came out.

I have some fun ideas on how I'll quilt it.

It measures about 30" square.

Great size for a table topper. 

I suddenly have a craving for foil wrapped chocolate hearts.......
