It all started with a few charm packs!

Starting with 2 charm packs of Kona Snow
and 2 charm packs of "Sew Stitchy" by Aneela Hoey


made Lots of half square triangles

turned them into this block

and put  nine blocks together to make this quilt!

This is the quilting idea I have in my head,

and let the marking begin


That's all for now…
The rest will have to wait until
after Christmas!

Christmas … my favorite time of year!!

Give away in time for Christmas!

Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet?
Do you have the perfect gift for everyone on your list?

This year I started early ~ so now it's time to 
put on the Christmas music make some hot cocoa 
and wrap, wrap, wrap!

For those of you who may need just one more
gift for someone on your list…
or yourself!
Here is a special give away!

Plume Publishing sent me two books to offer my readers!

Just in time for Christmas!!



The first is by my all time favorite author
Jennifer Chiaverini

"An Elm Creek Quilts Companion"
brings series fans on a guided tour of this cherished series.
Readers will discover a treasure trove of delights,
including the Bergstrom family tree,
character biographies, quilt blocks illustrations, 
along with full-color photographs of quilts featured in the novels.
A new original Elm Creek short story from Jennifer,
"A Stitch in Tine: Behind the Scenes at Elm Creek Quilt Camp" 
is inspired by questions from series readers.

This is a beautiful keepsake volume,
and an indispensable guide that every 
Elm Creek fan will want in their collection.

The second book in this special give away is from Clare O'Donohue.
~Wedding planning never goes according to plan; 
whether it's a demanding parent or challenging seating arrangement, 
there's always a snag. 
In Archers Rest, Nell Fitzgerald's plan for Grandma Eleanor 
and Oliver's wedding,  as well as her future with boyfriend Jesse, 
seem like smooth sailing. 
That is, until Jesse's old police partner 
turns up in town dead in Clare's latest Someday Quilts Mystery,
"The Double Wedding Ring"

TWO fabulous Books!!
