Green Tangerines GIVEAWAY!

Welcome to the Green Tangerines Kit Club Blog Party!! Green Tangerines has a brand new kit club that you need to check out!!

They are hosting a fabulous blog party all the way to July 1st! In addition to the inspiration and ideas they are showcasing on their blog throughout the party, they are GIVING AWAY the stuff! $1000 worth of HOT scrapbooking products!

I had the pleasure of working with one of their super fun kits, and let me tell you - it had TONS of my favorite scrappy thing. I don't have to tell you what that is. Come on, you KNOW it was the paper, baby!


My nephew is a sweetie, but he's always on the move, so I don't often get good photos of him. I love these shots I took last week, and when I opened up the kit, I was happy to see all these great papers that would work great for boys or girls, and many different occasions. AND they were double-sided, giving me even more options.





My favorite embellishment in the kit - the velvet brads! But, I also loved the little journaling cards (I left mine blank so my sister can add in Brody's favorite playtime activities.)


I loved the paint stick in the kit with all the trims wrapped around it. I unwrapped this fabric strip and created a sweet card for a friend of mine who lives a few states away. The black fabric and yellow scalloped edge paper worked perfectly to create a spicy card for her :)

Now the GIVEAWAY info - Leave me a comment on this post!! Deadline is 5pm PST tomorrow. At that time, I'll use random.org to choose a winner for A GREEN TANGERINES KIT! For your second chance to win a FREE KIT, go to the kit club blog and post a comment there. Easy as pie! So go!

a new quilting blog for me!

Because I know I have a lot of readers who could care less about my pinwheel construction or my first attempts at machine quilting :D For anyone interested in my new hobby, please join me at

I've not forgotten

Yes, I know. I hinted at a new downloadable class that I was developing for Got Crafts?, and then I didn't say anything for a while....kids got out of school, and summer swooped in :) But, I'm putting the finishing touches on the text for my EIGHT layouts, and almost ready to pass it over to Janna and Valerie at Got Crafts? Did I say eight layouts? Yes, I did, AND you are going to love this - FOUR of them are double page spreads! This downloadable will be packed with good stuff. To prove it, I'm giving you one more little peek.



Stop back by on Wednesday as I've got a special surprise and a chance to win some scrappy good stuff!!

Pinwheel Fancy

After piecing my first quilt top this month, I began looking for another project to play with. Several years ago, when the quilting bug bit me, I bought some 30s reproduction fabric fat quarter bundles. After falling in love with this quilt I decided to do a full size pinwheel quilt with my 30s fabrics. I started with a stack of these:


These are 3 3/4" squares that I'm using to create 6 1/2" pinwheels like this:


Still planning some scrappy content this week!

Sew giving

Tomorrow I've organized a day of sewing for charity. Our church is assembling/packing Christmas boxes for children in Panama. I had the idea to include small drawstring purses in the boxes for the girls (8-12 years old). I've cut out a bunch, so they are all ready to be sewn together. We are using Amy Butler's In Town Drawstring Purse pattern, with 2 fabrics. I put one together to have as a sample for all my sewers.

I hope the children will love them!

What have I been up to?

It's been a few days since I posted. Summer is in full swing! Softball season for Michaela is now over, with a wrap up party this week.


We celebrated her March birthday with a June swim party at a local state park last night, and these were our visitors (told you we live in the boonies!)


And last week we played with the cousins, swimming and doing tennis camp and Vacation Bible School. (This is swimming attire and not VBS attire, lol.)


I've got some scrappy good stuff coming up later this week, so stay tuned!

SEWN giveaway winner!!

I want to thank each of you that left comments, or just peeked into my blog. In the near future, I hope to have some more quilting projects to show, as well as scrapbooking class stuff :)

And now to the WINNER!

Last 2 days before the GIVEAWAY!!

This is for scrapbookers and sewers, too! You don't want to miss out. I'll be drawing on Monday, so get those comments in to this post for your chance at the beautiful fabric and a FREE "Playing With Scraps" downloadable class.

On a side note, my hubby and I celebrated 21 years of marriage this week. Chinese food and some errands at Hobby Lobby and Books A Million....not real exciting, huh? lol But, we are happy to be together, and it was a good evening.

One quilt top - DONE

While laying out my quilt blocks, I realized that THIS IS MY FIRST QUILT. Why in the world would I tackle machine quilting a full/queen size quilt on my very first attempt? lol I saw that I could make two twin quilts with my blocks. Quilting a smaller quilt for my first just seems like a smart thing to do. So, here it is, all sewn up. Next step - making the quilt sandwich and pinning. Or, I think that is the next step!

You are going to love this!

As a beginner quilter, I've been looking at projects on Flickr, etsy, and on blogs. I ran across this 2 awesome giveaways this morning, and thought you'd want to know.

turning*turning is giving way a mini quilt in celebration of her 100th blog post. I wouldn't mind winning this quilt!

Woman on a mission

Kids are at camp, so 4 hours more and I've got blocks!

I'm sew crazy

Between church services I continued working on my quilt along project. Thanks to Michaela, I've got pics to prove it :D


Before I slept, I finished sewing all the strips together. Today, I tackle cutting the blocks!
