3rd Annual Neighborhood party!

It's that time again!
Time to celebrate this AWESOME neighborhood
I call "Blogland"!!!
 
It's a GREAT place to own property.
Getting the blog address is fairly easy.
Neighbors are friendly.
There are even some FAMOUS people
that "live" here!
 
It's a place to connect.
A place to make friends.
A place to SHARE!!!
:)
 
If you're interested in CELEBRATING
All you need to do is construct one house block.
12 1/2" square.
 
Send the block to me.
I will group the houses into neighborhoods
and THEN....
I'll let Mr. random generator help me choose some winners!!!
 
The winners will receive
9-12 houses each...
Kind of depends on how many come in!

Here are the houses from two years ago....
(seems like yesterday!!)
all SPREAD out in my house!!!
 
If you'd like to play along,
leave a comment.
I will email you my address.
 
There are NO firm commitments here.
If you decide later NOT to sew a little house...
That's o.k.....Life happens..... ;)
 
Add your blog address on the front.
That makes it fun for the winners!!!
 
Deadline for these houses is
JANUARY 1, 2013.
LOTS of time!!!
 
************
NEW THIS YEAR!!!!
************
Send an extra house for a charity quilt!
(this is totally OPTIONAL)
I will be constructing these and
giving quilts to those in need.
There are LOTS of quilts needed
in the aftermath of SANDY!
 
Also...
You could send any 12 1/2" orphan block
for these charity quilts!!
They don't ALL have to be houses.
 
I'm excited!
This will be the best PARTY ever!!!!
 
I look forward to
CELEBRATING blogland with YOU!!!
 
Please include email address if you are
a no reply blogger,
if you have no blog...
or are unsure!

Baby Shower!

I attended a wonderful baby shower today!
There were vintage books and toys....

Some terrific fabric.....
That I'm going to be searching for soon....

There were new books that looked vintage...
but weren't.

And new books that were
DEFINITELY NOT vintage....
LOL!!!

THEN....
There were the HOMEMADE gifts.
LOTS OF THEM!!!

Aren't these booties ADORABLE?

A knitted afghan made by one of the Grandmas.

Exquisite!

A small afghan made by a teenager!
This one just BLEW me AWAY!
It was so soft and sweet!

A little bunny rabbit....
Lying on top of an original print by
one of the new mom's friends!

A quilt from another Grandma....

And....
A Quilt from ME!!!

Baby showers...
Mmmm....Mmmmm...Good!!!!

Happy Corduroy DAY!!!

November 11, 2011

I thought I'd be celebrating corduroy day with an OLD quilt top
given to me long ago.
Lots of corduroy squares....sewn together.....
Just a flimsy.......
Coming apart at the seams.....

I LOOKED
HIGH
and
LOW.

No quilt was to be found.
:/

I'm guessing I donated it
in a spurt of cleaning.
I do that ONCE in a while.
:)



Since I couldn't find the OLD one.
I had to make a NEW one!
:)

And......
Since I got such a late start....
I can only share this BEGINNING.

I LOVE this quilt
and hope to let it GROW!

I'm imagining LOTS of yarn knots...
ALL over the top!!!!

I may even invite friends to a
TIE PARTY!!!
You know....
Everyone sitting around the table tying
Yarn KNOTS all over the quilt!!!!

What color should the Ties be???
Black??
Red???
Maybe I'll even make some cookies for the occasion!
Or....
A chocolate cake!!!
Better get this one DONE...
I love a PARTY!

Since today's national Corduroy Day..
Nifty's organized a GREAT QUILT SHOW.
Head over and see some more quilts!
