Fun, new flannel -- Sea Monkey -- from Michael Miller. It's soft & nice to work with. I need a baby gift, what could I give with these burp cloths? Wish I knew how to make Des' little toys. That's Harry's bear. 
Is the rick rack too Girly? I liked it on the Rocket Rascals. hmmm? Blast Off!
I'm ready to grow my hair long and wear bib overalls. Went to see Mamma Mia again this weekend. Took a friend who had not seen it. While we were listening to Pierce sing to Meryl, my girlfriend leaned over and whispered, "He's OUR Zac Efron". 
I will watch this 22 times a day. I will buy the CD's for the Karaoke machine. I want to wear T-shirts with Mamma Mia plastered all over it (get to work V). I'm looking for notebooks, pens, stickers and Sam Bobble Heads to adorn my 
We will watch this over and over at every 
I will be a Dancing Queen. 
I've redeemed myself. She's only been asking to make a skirt for a year now. She chose a yellow floral from the Pumpkins Gone Wild line and made it in less than an hour.
This is the adorable Circle Skirt from the Little Hip Skirts pattern (there's also one for mom called Hip Skirts). 
She made her's longer than the pattern called for. The pattern includes four different skirts, but we've only tried this one. Why mess with a good thing? It's easy with great directions. It has a bias waistband and a full skirt. I traced the pattern out last year on plastic, so it was ready to go -- my younger daughter made this skirt for the fair.
Today's giveaway is a cute little table runner kit. The fabric line is Merry & Bright from Sandy Gervais. This printed panel is perfect for making up a quick gift for friends, for a hostess gift or for you! The panel is 24" by 44". The red border is 2" all the way around. (There's also a fun 60" wide red ornament fabric.)
Prize comes with the panel, binding and backing. The quilting (and batting) is left up to you! Easy to quilt by machine or by hand.
Leave a comment telling us who you would make this for.... Random drawing tonight. Good Luck! 
More Farmers Market came today! Just had to share -- yum. Michael Miller sent 'extra' of the large blue/pink floral and the stripe on the right -- so if you need 'extra' of those or the pink henna one in the middle -- just let me know. ~Corrie
Oooohhhh....Cottage Garden! This is a table runner by Kim Diehl. Also known as Kimmie Poo Diehl. I basically taught her everything she knows about quilting. Yeah, I'm pretty much the wind beneath her wings, if you must know. 
Okay, raise your hand if you'll be getting on THIS bandwagon with me!!! Flying Solo....A triangle is the only shape needed to re-create the center of this vintage quilt. Points of the equilateral triangles will match up perfectly, making stitching a breeze.
Gotta have it! It is Halloween time after all. Well, in October. Let's enjoy the rest of summer, but we quilters are always a season ahead! Tricks & Treats
And more.......a favorite feature of APQ is their color options with every quilt. I'll say it again. No, I'll sing it from the rooftops....This is my favorite quilt magazine EVER. Even if I never sewed again, these are beautiful to look at and enjoy. The October issue is in the store now. We ship internationally, as well! If this magazine doesn't have ENOUGH projects for you, with this issue also comes an added insert of Alex Anderson's Piece and Applique the Easy Way.
We're taking Pre-Orders on the new fall Quilts & More and fall Quilt Sampler.
Contact Corrie to reserve a copy. Looks like another winner~!!
I HAD to make one more. This one's for Corrie. I guess it won't be a surprise. 
It's made from my Lilly Apron fabrics that she has been coveting since the day I made it! Oohhhh it's pretty! And look how cute the trims look in there. 
No, you're not getting the trims, but nice try. I'll get to the winner in a moment but I have to tell you a really funny joke first. Are you ready?? It's a real kneeSLAPPER. My husband told me this one.
Mike: Those are really cute baskets. Are they hard to make?
Me: No, they are easy, peasy.
Mike: Really? They look hard. Do they cost a lot to make?
Me: No! I just use my scraps. *I'm thinking, gee shouldn't I buy more fabric, I'm so frugal with my scraps*
Mike: Well....would it be possible for you to make some for my teachers for Christmas?
Me: *I hear screeching tires in the distance* How many????
Mike: 30 or so.
Isn't that funny? I thought it was hilarious. A project that is so simple and pleasurable has just turned ugly. THIRTY? Okay, I'm thinking no trim. No pieced checkerboard at the top. I'll simplify. Will they still be cute? And then I thought....Farmer's Market Green Apples!! Oh yeah, they'll be cute.
Okay, winners. Super cute ideas of what you would put in them! Can you believe I couldn't find ONE stinkin' piece of chocolate to put in mine?? What is wrong with this picture?? Winners~~Lori Jolley and ThreeUnderTwo are the drawn winners!!
Congratulations Neighbors! Send me your addresses and I'll get these into the mail. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did making them for YOU.
It's a home dec fabric and I just wasn't sure where I would use them again. 
Look at what they can hold!! And LOOK what I found in my old thread stash? A missing scout badge. Never got sewed on. What a surprise.
I think you could just fill it up with little books and Disney paraphernalia and be perfectly happy.
Or keep it handy by the rotary equipment.
Freshwater Cucumber: obsession #27. 
So I feel like sharing with the 2 readers we get on the weekends. :) Let's pretend you're my neighbor and I just wanted to run over to your house and show you what I made and then you would ooohhh and aaahhh over it and then I would say,
"Oh, I'm so glad you like it. I made it for you!"
And then we would ride off into the sunset and be BFF's forever.
That might be pouring it on a little thick.....but maybe not. 
Leave a comment telling me what goodies you would put in it.
I'll draw 2 winners sometime before Monday. I love ambiguity.
US entries only. Sorry.
Don't you wish that you saw things in this watercolor-y...blurry....color saturated way? Just sometimes?? Me, too.
My two middle children fight constantly. Imagine my surprise when I heard this coming from the kitchen yesterday. It lasted about 15 minutes, I won't make you watch that much.
Washing the dishes at our house...... (see previous posts for Des' version)
This little pig went to market.
This little pig stayed home.
This little pig had roast beef.
This little pig had none.
This little pig cried wee, wee, wee all the way home.
If only it could last. Nope. They were fighting this morning so they're out weeding right now. I doubt they're singing. ~Corrie
