Giveaway Winner and UFO's

I thought I would be nice and announce the winner first, lol.
The lucky winner is #25, Congratulations Gayle! It is the 25th, so thought that was funny how that was the lucky number. Gayle, email me with your choice of any epattern from my ecrater site. I truly appreciate all of my visitors and the comments and I hope I can get some new freebies done for the holiday.

But, I do have two freebies that I found on the web and have been working on and maybe  you would like to make some of your own pieces. The snowlady pattern if a freebie from Primitive Blessings. I plan on adding a wool nose and button eyes. The piece on the right is a pattern called Home for Christmas and it is a freebie from Hatched and Patched. The oval design will be going on a small quilt with tongues which you can see in the freebie pattern. If you scroll down on her blog, you will find the pattern, it was for the Henry Glass blog hop.

Birthday Goodies and a Giveaway for you!

Monday was my birthday and I turned another year older. I had a nice quiet day at home and worked on my new projects. Today I got another surprise box from Kelley, like the box of fabrics wasn't enough. I am really going to have to get going on my regular quilting this year, lots of beautiful new fabrics to work with. She also sent me the wool book that I have been looking for, what a wonderful surprise, love the japanese quilting. I love the punch needle she made me, it will go into my sewing room, she does such beautiful prim pieces. I feel very spoiled;)

And since it is Thanksgiving, I thought it was a good time for an epattern giveaway. Leave a comment on this post and I will draw a name on Friday night. The winner will get their choice of any one of my epatterns. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Primitive Angel Mini Quilt!

I finished another quilt today. This one I stitched last year and never finished it, so it was time to finish it.
It is a design by Primitive Blessings and I added the snowflakes and Christmas saying. It measures a little less than 12" x 10". Another piece to add to my growing gift box.

Christmas quilt!

Did everyone follow the Henry Glass blog hop? If you missed it, you missed some wonderful patterns for Christmas, but you can still visit the sites and get their patterns. I loved the piece by Little Quilts, a fun redwork piece that would make a nice gift for a friend. Of course I didn't follow the directions and went off on my own, as usual, lol. I am just too lazy to piece those wonderful triangles she made on the original, so I just made mine simple and added some words.

I also made some little penny ornaments with some snowflake designs from my Fa la la la Felt book. I liked the snowflake designs, but now that I see the original pattern I took it from, I might have to make those next;) I used a different blue pen and it does not come out easily, as you can see on these. On the quilt it came out blue too, but I rewashed it and it came out clean, after I dried it. There is no name on it and it was a gift.

Homespun Heaven!

My friend Kelley sent me a surprise box this week, I love surprises.
Kelley has been cleaning out her supplies and books and this is the wonderful fabrics I received this week.
I love homespuns and speciality fabrics and there is lots of those and a lot of future projects I can enjoy making with them.

 I finished another punch needle piece, tonight. My friend Cyndi sent me the pattern as a gift, so I decided it was time to make it. If you visit Cyndi's site you will see the rug she made from a custom pattern that I made for her.

 I am thinking of making a card holder with it, by attaching the punched piece to a hand made wool card holder. It still needs aging, it is a bit bright. I also need to tweak a few spots, I used 3 strands on the designs and I think I punched a bit too tight.

Have you seen the Henry Glass, Jolly Holiday Party? It is a fun blog hop, prizes and free patterns for the holidays. I already printed out a couple, to make for gifts.

The pattern for this piece is a design by Brenda Gervais, of  Country Stitches.

Kitties and Foxes!

Last winter I was lucky enough to win one of Lark Crafts giveaways. I won a calendar with patterns and a lot of wonderful felt. I also won the Fa la la Felt book and was thrilled since it has lots of fun designs and things to make for the holidays. I finally got to make some of the cute penny ornaments and did the kitties and foxes. For now I left them as they are, and later I will either keep them as ornaments, or maybe add them to something. The book also has some christmas trees to make, so lots of fun things i can make as gifts for others. The originals are in felt, but I decide to use wool and make them into pennies, so mine are slightly different. They were fun to make and love how they came out.

Thanksgiving Mouse!

I was the lucky winner of one of Linda's wonderful mice in a giveaway that was hosted by Carol of Firecracker Kid Primitives. Linda has a wonderful etsy site called Heartfelt Ornament Co.  If you love mice, you will love her little costumed creations. She also has an etsy site called Warmth and she has some wonderful new pieces and sweet Christmas mice, wouldn't it be fun to have a few to tuck into your cubbies. You can find the candle boxes at Firecracker Kid Primitives and in any finish you would like.

I was happy that I won the fall mouse, it is perfect for Thanksgiving. I love the little accessories that came with her and the decorations that Linda added to the shelf.
