P.S. ... Mail Call!

"P.S." = "Pretty Strings"

I love squishies!

I love fabric of all colors, designs, shapes and sizes.

I like scraps and strings.

So recently when 

Amy @ A Quilting Sheep

said she had some strings looking for a new home

and asked me if I would like them,

I did not think twice. 

Amy  makes pretty quilts.

Amy has pretty strings.

I said, "Yes, please!"

Today a nice fat box of strings arrived!

Katniss, who knows all about needing a new home and finding a place here, inspected and approved. 

Just in time for making a few more diamond string blocks 

to make my swap quilt larger.

Not that I do not have a plastic box full of strings,

but my strings are always happy to have friends join us 

here in the scrapatch.

Thanks, Amy!

Mail Call ~ Part Two!

Hamilton Grove by Sue Beevers

This gorgeous fat quarter bundle also arrive yesterday in my mailbox!

I am sew blessed!

When ...

Ellen @ Little Jewel Quilts

... posted this fun post about ...

Offering a Fabric Reward for Finding Wednesday

I just had to join in the fun.

I've lost a few Wednesdays myself and never have found them.

However, my Saturdays and Sundays lately have been lovely

 and filled with fabric!

I have found that I can download these fabric swatches, too, 

into my EQ and am playing with the layout now ...

... or maybe ...

... or maybe ...

I am thinking maybe a snowball layout to showcase these pretty fabrics.

This would be a mini quilt using just these fat quarters.

Two of the fabrics in this layout are not a perfect match as they did not have 

the violets on the blue tonal background 

or the light blue splatter print for download.

It will make a pretty little quilt for my table or wall.

EDIT:

I think I got it ...

... this one!

This measures about 22" square,
uses all 8 fat quarters
and does not require more than 1/4 yard of any fabric.
The narrow outer border is actually a flange.

Hope to be sewing with these beauties soon!

Thanks, Ellen!


I am thinking that I have spent so much time petting and playing
with these fabrics that they qualify as another ...

NewFO

Mail Call!

Mail Call!!

 

I have been pretty lucky again with the winning of the quilty goodness!

These two squishies arrived in the mail today to make my quilty day.  Well, one of them, which was a surprise package, rattled a little bit adding to the intrigue.  I am like a kid with a wrapped birthday gift when something arrives in the mail.  I have to squish it and shake it and enjoy the anticipation.

The smaller envelope came from Sophie Junction.  I was one of the lucky winners in her In Your Words Blog Hop Giveaway.   Sew pretty!!

The rattle in the other package turned out to be this bright RA Thread 12 pack which I was lucky enough to receive in the giveaway from the Quilter's Christmas Party at SewCalGal.   I am sew happy!

As you can see, Ms Katniss is very interested ...

  ... may be the quilty kitties in these far away places.

 

My quilty kitties and I say "Thank you!"

for these quilty goodies.

We will put them to good use.  

 

For our Friday Night Sew In

we are hand-sewing on the binding for the Dare to Dresden Quilt. 

Have a happy quilty evening!

:)
