Happy Birthday Debbie!

Dave, I love your answer!

For my birthday, I love more than anything to have dinner with my brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, and my parents in San Antonio, TX. But now that I live away in North Carolina, I love to chat with them over the phone throughout the day and dinner with my hubby.

I hope I win. I'd love to start on a new hobby/ project ;)

EDITED: We have a winner

contest is closed.

Remember way back in February when I won the Traveling Stash

I then sent it on again

I followed it for a little while but lost track of it when it split in two. 

Well it was a nice surprise when I came across it again. I decided I would comment on it not expecting to win it!

Well I did, I won Box 1.

I emailed the blogger to let her know that I had won it before and that I wouldn't be upset if she did the draw again. 

She replied that she didnt see a problem with it and thought my readers would like another try!

so guess what? It arrived yesterday and today I went though it.

It was really neat to see that so much that was in there at the beginning (I was the second to win) that isnt there now. A lot was moved when she split it. This is the 11th hands it has been in. 

all that is left that I sent off was the santa, the burgundy place-mats and the pompoms and peachy bias binding. oh- and maybe some of the patterns.

This is what is going back into the box that was in there when I received it.

(Note my husbands hand in the upper left.)

I am amazed how much was fit into this box!

When I tried to pack all the stuff back in the box that is in that ^picture, it was hard AND I still had to add my stuff.

this is going back in

 Soo what am I adding?

Well you may know about my "slight" ikea fabric addiction - If not- go read about it.

Since I like you guys so much I have added FOUR half yards of my Ikea fabric to the Stash.

 I only have 2 of the fabrics shown here. I also added some 2 inch cut strips, a green and white and yellow muslin sheet, some fishing fabric and some scraps. 

Here is what I am keeping:

I couldnt get the block back in the box so I will keep it for a baby shower. I also have some flower fabric that is of the same line. 

I love the Psalm quotes and am excited to work them into a quilt somehow.

I also grabbed the quilting pattern. I think it will be a great pattern to follow with my hand quilting. 

oh and the blue fat quarters. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok- and now the rules:

 You must be willing to continue the travelling stash giveaway. Once you receive the package, you must fill it up again with fabric from your stash and any fabric that you don't want that I've included. Then, you will have a giveaway on your blog, continuing the travelling stash.

I will do just a one comment per person - let me know where you are. I am curious to see who is reading this blog. 


Drawing will take place using Random.org on Wednesday, June 29th.

I have blogged about it on my blog. Thank you! http://nunusquiltworld.blogspot.com/2011/02/traveling.html

CONGRATULATIONS Shannon!

I will be sending you an email tonight.

my men <3  (notice Zeke has a stick- he loves sticks)

My First Giveaway!

Are you ready for a giveaway?

I know I am. 

This is a first for me. 

For those new here- let me tell you a little bit about this blog. 

I started this blog to keep my family updated on my European vacation way back when. I then revived it after I had my son and we were living 12 hours away from them. 

I live in North Carolina with my Husband and son.

I started quilting 2 years ago at my local shop but stopped attending classes when Zeke was born.

I continued to quilt at home when I get a chance. 

Enough about me!

I won this Traveling Stash Giveaway from I <3 Sewing, Ariane's Crafts

To see what arrived in the mail check this out.

Now here is what Im putting in from my stash.
EDIT: Plus all the stuff I didnt take from the box. 
You can see some of it on the post before this one.

Santa apron pattern, Christmas place mats, a couple of panels 

some baby FQ, Mickey print (over 2 yards i think)

the bunting piece and the blue on the far left top are from IKEA

This is a hankie that I got from my mom. I used all but this double in a quilt for my son. 

all packed and ready for someone to pass it on to. (I got a new box from the post office)

I copied this next piece from Ariane and edited so I get to know some more fabrics 

So, are you interested in winning this box of fabrics and patterns?

Facebook homemade challenge #2

Before I start with the challenge- I need more of the fabric. I bought it at Hancocks. I am on a fabric diet (not to buy more fabric for 8 weeks) So I am willing to swap. 

CP30352, Stitched Butterfly, Springs Creative Products Group 2009

OK- Facebook Challenge Winner # 2 

Her colour request was Purple.
I didnt have much for purple so I put a call out to a friend who just made a purple and green quilt for a niece.
I used up some of her scraps (the solids were all I had)

For this one I learned how to hide my beginning and ending stitches so it looks just a bit more well done
 (sorry to the others)

front

I didnt use it- really! Just a sample picture.

Leslie happy to get it (her other smile was very cheesy!)

# 3 has been mailed out
#4 is waiting on an address
#5 I dont like so I'm going to re-do it.
