Bits and pieces.......

Actually, I should have said "Pieces and Bits" in the title of this post. First...the pieces.....pieces of fabric! Remember Amy's recent online Quilt Festival? Many of you also showed quilts in it. I was lucky enough to win one of the many prizes she was offering at the end of the festival. I won these Essex fat quarters (a linen/cotton blend) from Jackie at Canton Village Quilt Works. Aren't the colors BEAUTIFUL? And don't you think I should wait until I have a GO! cutter so I can cut them out crisply and cleanly?????? Thanks, Jackie and Amy, for this fun prize!!! You can find Jackie by clicking on her name above. AND.....if you don't know what a GO! cutter is, you need to do a search for AccuQuilt OR go to this link (and PLEASE mention to Barb that I sent you...gets me extra entries) and maybe you can WIN a GO! cutter (and if you don't want a cutter, please go there and mention I sent you anyway, okay?) If you go to AccuQuilt's Facebook page and join... they give away a cutter every once in awhile when they reach another 1,000 fans, so you'd have a chance to win there, too!!! Of course, if you win and then decide you don't WANT the cutter, you could simply give it to me.......LOL.....hehehehe.....I'm pretty funny, aren't I???And now for the "Bits".......tiny BITS of 4 projects I've done recently (the pink one isn't quite finished). I am sorry I can't show you anymore of the projects than these little bits, but they are part of a technique my friend, Kathy, and I have developed that we might try to take somewhere......so we can't show them just yet. I will show them to you someday, though. For now, I just wanted you to know that I have been working very hard lately....just not on things that can be shown yet. Wish us luck...okay? (Sorry to be mysterious....you know I don't usually do that....but it's necessary right now!)SOMEHOW...while I wasn't paying attention, I went over 200 followers, so I will be getting to one of the LQS soon and buying a prize to give away to one of my followers...so keep watching and commenting here. You know I give my prizes just to my followers, in particular those who comment regularly!!!

Okay, so how did I miss this post? I am so glad you received the fabrics and I just know that they will be put to good use. I love them! Just one little hint, they have even a nicer hand to them after they are machine washed and dried. Looking forward to your project! And congrats to all the new followers!
