Congrates to My Give Away Winners!

Congrats to my 100th Blog give away winners Barb, Jmniffer and Myself.  I have emailed them and they will be receiving some fabric treats real soon!  Thanks to all who stopped by and especially those who left comments!  

I had a rather long break from posting over the Holidays but I have not been totally idle.  We took one short road trip to LA which yielded the following blue work square.

This cute little fellow was traced from a pattern given to me by my friend Stacey.  Stacey visits our local Flea Market regularly and she saw these and purchased them for me as she knew I am working on  these Blue Work squares.

They look pretty vintage to me?!  I thought maybe 30's +/ - ?  I checked my Ruby Mckim book thinking they might be her drawings but did not find a match.  Any one recognize these patterns?

I will definitely be using a few more of these in my project!  They have just the right vintage style / flavor I am looking for.

Have a great weekend everyone!  Thanks again for visiting!  Cheers, Claire W.

100th Blog - Giveaway

Well, it only took me about a year and a half but I've finely come to my 100th blog!  And my new grand baby is here visiting so I thought I'd celebrate by giving some fabric treats away!

1- charm packet of 6" patches, 2x15 bright colored for a total of 30 patches from Free Spirit.

                                     

2- I've been working with the same basket of Xmas fabric for a while now and I think it's time I shipped it off to someone with a fresh perspective.  There's more than a yard of the angel fabric (on rt) and a  lot of patches, fat 1/8ths and some FQs.  Xmas fabric for next years homemade gifts could be yours soon!

                                     

3- charm packet, 1/4 of strips & 1 yard of the plaid on the right all home spuns from Jubilee fabrics.

All you have to do is visit my home page where all of my 100 blogs are displayed in little picture tiles. Pick one that you like and leave a comment and tell me why you like that particular post. You don't have to ponder this assignment to long just something that you like and why.  I will leave this post open until Feb 25th and then pick 3 names. I will ship overseas.

Oh, and I did mention that my granddaughter is here visiting (she did bring her parents).  Well Of course I had to make her a few quilty goodies to keep her snug while visiting...

I lined this basket to make a bassinet for her to sleep in.

I quilted a nice message into the liner. 

I made Arielle a quilt before she was born.  It was kind of gender neutral but I decided to make her something more 'girly'. 

I quilted it with 'hanging diamonds pattern.  It's a really good sturdy-simple all over pattern.

And you can never have to many receiving blankets... 

I love that Dick and Jane fabric line!

I hope you are all having a wonderful New Year!  We are certainly enjoying having our kids here and we do seriously miss the rain here on the central coast but the weather is gorgeous.  It appears there is a high pressure zone that has settled over the West coast that is keeping the rain away.  This could be the worst draught year in memory!!!
