A few weeks ago I won a giveaway from Cathy.
She included this sweet little needle keep as a surprise. I had just been
thinking I needed something to put my new favorite betweens (John James
GoldnGlide) in because they come in a clumsy little envelope. Perfect! Thanks
again, Cathy.
Yesterday, I received my winnings from Barbara Brackman for
entering her patchwork clothing post. She sent me over 2 yards of her new
reproduction fabric line – Old Fashioned Calicoes. They are true to the
originals except for their hand – these are so soft and supple and of course no
doubt they are 100% cotton. Ideas are brewing. Thanks, Barbara.
Yes, I’ve been a lucky girl. Next week will be my first
blogging anniversary so check back here for a giveaway.
This is what my living room looks like this morning. I’m
stitching the binding on my nieces t-shirt quilt. The crocheted spread on the
other side of the couch still needs repair. I hope if it sits there where I can
see it I will work on it. Some of those books on the table are library books.
Every so often I clean this table off and it doesn’t take long before I find it
is full of books again!
Have a great weekend!
Congratulations on your wins! Looks like great fun.
ReplyDeleteI love your living room, looks inviting to sit and have a relaxing time with good books or take a few stitches!
oh yes, i bet there's a cup of tea there for me too. i could sit a spell and sew a few stitches with you in that cozy nook . . . maybe flip through a few of those books . . . mmmmmm . . .
ReplyDeletebindings are my favorite part of the quilting process. i guess because it's mindless and frees me up to think about yet another project (guilt free) as i am finalizing one~!
enjoy the time and your peaceful space as you stitch today.

Congrats to you on some great wins!
ReplyDeleteThose reproductions fabrics look eerily familiar. Feels like I am in a time travel experience. : )
When do we get to see the t-shirt quilt?
Congratulations on two great wins!!!! I love needle cases, this one is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteBarbara's new line looks fabulous, I'll have to keep an eye out for this! Your living room looks very cosy and welcoming and I love the small signs of home life it reveals!!!!
It does look inviting. I can see a sewing bee there...if I almost shut my eyes and stare real hard. Congratulations on the win. One year on, and still going strong. Calls for another pat on the back.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! Congratulations on the recent win and the soon-to-be one-year anniversary!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning those lovely gifts. Your living room looks like a warm, well used and appreciated creative space.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your wins! The needlekeep is precious.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning the fabric. I use my needle keep for the same needles. Like you, I really dislike trying to get my needles out of the envelope. Hugs
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your very cool winnings. What would we do without all those sweet little needlekeeps? Each one so precious. And books...another huge weakness!! But isn't it fun!
ReplyDeleteLucky you - a win and a gift. It just doesn't get any better than that! I don't see any chunks of cat hair, stale cigar butts, tipped over beer cans, or dried up old pizza in your living room pic so don't stress. It looks like a busy quilter's living room.
ReplyDeletecute needle book. BB fabrics are fun, I seriously think I have some of the originals in the attic, who knew they'd be back!
