Still Working on.. & Still Laughing at..

Lets just say what I did not do over the weekend, 

and that is SEW! 

However I did get to trace, cut, fold & glue.

So on a positive note I am moving ahead on my WIP!

Thought I would share a good laugh!

Do you read "The Bitchy Stitcher"?

IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BLOGS

If you are a blogoholic you are aware that many quilt along's, parties, etc. use the first letter of each word so it can fit into the cramped space of blog pages. 

Well the Bitchy Stitcher has created a new movement of quilting

TNRPIMPQ

For a good laugh-hop on over!

I Got Mail!

Love getting mail, 

especially when it is  

"Fiber Art"!

Our guild recently had a lecture and wonderful workshop with Terry Kramzar. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Terry's travel adventures and learning the process that Terry discovered while creating her amazing quilts. With life's interruptions--I am still in the process of completing our workshop piece.

Over the weekend I received this incredible piece of Art in the mail. It is a Fiber Art post card from Terry. We started to correspond a few years back and finally our meeting came full circle. Words can not describe how much I treasure this piece that Terry made.

Don't you just love the towns name?

Today I was mailing off my two Giveaway packages.

These stamps were a gift from my family.

(Stamps are custom made at Zazzle)

Aren't they Fun?

Two Winners-Wahoo!

Last weeks question
How or where does Inspiration strikes you?
Post is Here.

The First Winner is!

Carolyn from Sweet Boater Chick
(pick from names written & picked by my son)

Carolyn Wrote- Inspiration strikes at all times for me, sometimes in my dreams sometimes at the grocery store. And when it does I try to doodle it in one of my notebooks as soon as possible. And once that idea is in my notebook, sometimes it spreads to another :).

Carolyn will receive half yard cut of Micheal Miller fabric.





Second Winner is!

Kate from Thread Everywhere
To a person who comments here and linked to Nini And The Sea.

Kate Wrote-Hi Helen, I saw your link on Nini & The Sea... lately I've been getting inspiration from other blogs and link parties. I also find inspiration often strikes when I'm lying in bed just about to fall asleep.

Kate will receive 1 Full Yard of Micheal Miller fabric
 and a Inspirational Journal for Quilters

Chelsey at Nini And The Sea started a Inspiration Linking Party. 

We as creative beings seem to be addicted thrive on Inspiration!

Chelsey will be hosting a weekly linking party and hope you join.

Congratulations Carolyn & Kate I have sent you emails today.

Friend's On Friday-Margareta

Ron is a rum sipper, Eagles fan and Key West lover. 

 Margareta (my mom) made this quilt for Ron (my brother).

 This was the first time I had used circle templates.

Randomly sewing different size circles.
