Because I'm totally lame and busy with school I missed the deadline for the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day sign ups, but that doesn't mean I can't give anything away, right?? Well, I'm giving away a Plume Charm Pack!

I won the Burgundy Buttons giveaway over at V & Co! I won a Half Moon Jelly roll, Half Moon Charm Pack, Bella White Solid Jelly Roll & Charm Pack, and a yard of Half Moon fabric! I can't wait to play with all the Half Moon!

crafty non quilty post

I've seen these a few times here and there and decided to make them. They're bowls made out of records! The little one is my favorite, I may have to put a magnet in the bottom somehow to turn it into a pin magnet. My sister is going to get a set for her wedding later this month (and no, she's not a blog reader!).

anyone wanna review a couple patterns i'm writing? aka the BIG announcement

I'm really wanting to try my hand at writing patterns that are precut friendly (as we all know I adore precuts!). One is made using a jelly roll and a solid that could easily be a solid jelly roll. The other uses either 2 charm packs or 1 layer cake, a jelly roll, and a honey bun. I'm still in the process of typing them up but hope to have them ready by the end of the weekend. I would like a couple people to review just the numbers and ease of directions and a couple to make the pattern from start to finish into a finished quilt.

If you would like to review the patterns without making the quilt I will mail you a hard copy of each finished patterns that you reviewed and you will get first dibs on any future patterns along with receiving a hard copy of the finished product.

If you would like to review the patterns with making the quilt send good quality photos (who knows, it *MAY* end up making the final cover!) and you will get 6 hard copies of each pattern in the future, 1 to keep for yourself and 5 to giveaway, PLUS if your quilt makes the cover I will credit your work on the back of the pattern and direct to your blog. I WILL NEVER ASK TO SEND ME YOUR QUILT!!! You will also get first dibs on reviewing any future patterns.

Both patterns I have drawn up are beginner friendly, however, I ask that you have experience reading a pattern and have great math skills. One pattern would be very easy to get 2 quilts out of 1 jelly roll (if my math skills are right).

And I need you to be completely honest. Tell me they suck if they suck, tell me they're boring if they are, tell me if you would or wouldn't buy them. Be honest! Any suggestions to make the pattern better? Tell me! I need your complete and honest feedback.

If you are genuinely interested PLEASE email me using the contact me link at the top of the page.

thanks for all the interest! i have enough pattern testers at this time!

going to be cryptic

Yes, keep your eyes peeled. I have an announcement. And *YOU* have the ability to help. Just stay tuned, I promise it's awesome (at least to me!). Oh, and I bought a jelly roll of this from the awesome Leah @ Burgundy Buttons. I heart her.

*here's a hint* my big announcement uses this fabric.

Ciao!

judging interest

I loved the pinwheel sampler quilt along. I'd love to know if any of you wonderful blog readers would be interested in a Pickles & Bacon quilt along?? Still trying to figure out what exactly the quilt will be, I loved the sampler style of the pinwheel and since that went to my mom maybe we can do a star sampler? Or maybe just a garden variety of popular style blocks? Have a suggestion? Let me know!

pinwheel finished!!!

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!!
