WIP and a winner.....

A quick recap on whats new and exciting in my neck of the woods....

 Turkey is getting to be a big puppy.....and is enjoying the warmer weather....

We went to Minnesota and saw this big old shoe....

I also found the SR Harris Fabric Outlet.....

I can't explain how big and awesome this place is.....but I fell off the wagon with my fabric diet.....

It's outside Minneapolis/St Paul....don't go if you have no will power or are having marital issues....

Fabric from floor to ceiling. The only saving grace is you have to cut it yourself so that slowed me down some.....but its all half off.....so the most expensive quilting fabric was 6.00/yd.....

We have a winner of the Blogger BOM....Patty will be receiving a yard of this fabric....

Im back to working on this quilt for Ellie.....trying to get it done by the time she graduates in May........

Linking up to Freshly Pieced....WIP Wednesday

April Blogger BOM Federal Edition....

Today is the April installment of Blogger BOM. ( The only things certain in life are death and taxes federal edition!) The presenter today is Tracey of Itching 2 B Stitchin! The block she created is called "Woven Block". It is a great way to use up and highlight your favorite scraps. . Tracey created a great tutorial here on her blog.

Im very excited to get started on this new block, It looks like lots of fun....

As a bit of old business the winner from the April BOM bonus block is 

Giddy99. I will be emailing them sending off the winning pattern.

As always there is a great prize you can enter to win this go round. Since I am super bitter about all the taxes I had to send off to the government I went looking for some fabric to express that. They do not make a disgruntled and taxed print, or if they do they don't carry it at my LQS. This print is the closest thing I could find. It is called a day in the life by Robert Kaufmann. It is a lovely low volume print that pictures all sorts of things that are as fun as paying taxes.To win be a follower and leave a message below if you are getting a big fat check or had to send one off. The winner will be picked on Sunday 4/20/13 and will receive one yard of this print.

Blogger BOM - April Fools Bonus!!!

Today is the April bonus installment of Blogger BOM.  The presenter today is Bree of Distant Pickles. Distant Pickles might be the best name for a blog ever!!! The block she created is called "Lucky Bear Paw". It is a twist on a classic bear paw quilt block. Bree created a great tutorial here on her blog.

I'm glad Bree had her ducks in a row as I totally forgot about this bonus block was quite suprized when I was drinking my coffee this morning.

I am really fond of this layout. Grrrrrrr bear paws.....

Since I totally flaked out on this bonus block and didn't plan a prize while I was biting the heads off peeps I will have to wing it. Luckily Bree is a talented pattern maker as well is her co-blogger Julie. You can pick your choice of the two patterns they have created Gyspy Dance by Bree or Mod Pop by Julie. 

Make sure you are a follower and leave a comment!

Giveaway open until 4/10/13
