Winnings!

I won Micki's giveaway and the book is here! I was so excited when the package arrived!

Most of you probably know Micki from her blog. She was born in Philadelphia and now she lives in Ireland and I was born in Bulgaria and I was living in Philadelphia also, so that made us close at the beginning. We became blogging friends and she is very kind and wonderful person.

Do you know the saying "what goes around comes around"? Micky won a GO cutter and one to give away, so check her blog often for the giveaway that is coming!

The book is called "Miniatures in minites". It has a lot of cute projects that I can't wait to try! I have done paper piecing but not miniatures, so I am excited to try that!

Micki surprised me with one of her gorgeous handmade cards! I have been admiring her journals and cards that I have seen on her blog. Now I have my own!

Thank you Micki!

Speaking about winning giveaways ... the winner of my giveaway - Robin made the "Candy Table Runner" from the kit that she won! My LQS carries the kits and you can find it here.

I was surprised she made it so fast because she is recovering from a shoulder surgery.

You can see her post here.

She used the leftovers from the kit to make a scrappy backing. Well done Robin!

Until next time, Happy sewing! :)

Pennsylvania Inspired Quilt is Done and I Won Big Time!

Here is the Pennsylvania inspired quilt all done and washed. I did the binding in the car on the way to Florida. I wished I had more quilts to do in the car. I will plan it better next time. The quilt is already in Hawaii as it was a gift for my sister-in-law family.

There are close ups of the quilting as my camera batterie died and I couldn't take more pictures of the finished and washed quilt.

Now.... for the Big Win! I won Karen's giveaway over at her blog

Sew Many Ways .

If you have never visited her blog, you should, but I should warn you it's very addicting. Every Tuesday she writes Tool Time Tuesday tutorials where she looks at stuff and uses it in different ways then it's meant to be.

Karen sent me this Huge Box full of goodies to make some of her many Tool Time Tuesday creations.

They are so many goodies in there. One of the first things I want to make is a car sewing caddy, she wrote a tutorial here. Thank you Karen for done all the shopping for me and I just have to make it!

I first found Karen't blog when I was looking how to make a Design Wall. Here you can see the Design wall I made using her tutorials. Karen also has a "Friends on Friday" and she wrote about my design wall on her blog, you can check it here.

There is only one item I am not sure where she used it. If you look at the picture above on the bottom there is something orange that looks like a hanger.... Please Karen help me. :)

She also included two fat quarters...

... and two patterns.

I can't complain, I feel so lucky! Thank you very much Karen!

Happy sewing!
