More Owlie Bee blocks

Today when I checked the mail box there were two little squishie
packages waiting for me!
The first one was from Cindy over at Fluffy sheep quilting
These are way to cute!
I love how everyone is putting together the blocks.

The second one was from Sarah over at FairyFace Designs
It is so awesome to see the blocks on the flickr,but way more so
to have them sitting on my sewing table!
These blocks are sew adorable :)

I am also loving all the recipes,which I will start testing out soon!
Mr. P came home complaining that "he had no goodies,and we need to
go to the store to get some"
LOL!
He sure changed his tune when I handed him two Huge candy bars :)

Monday Score,a finish & a Giveaway!

As a general rule Mondays are not such great days.  However today was a pretty good day considering
the fact that is was a Monday.  About mid-morning the lady that is the Manager of the Housewares/Domestics dept. at work came over to talk to me.  She asked if I would be interested in having
the curtains that she had received to put up as displays!  Since she has no way to display them,she usually just
throws them away!

For some reason this time she thought about asking if I would like to have them.  (she knows that I sew and craft)

This is the loot that she gave to me today!!
Check it out,there are 20 packages there.  So I have 20 single
curtains for me to play with.  She was thinking that maybe they
might be used to make throw pillows,which is a great idea!
Talk about a wonderful Score!

This is a heavy cardboard barrel that Mr. P brought
home for me today!  Score # 2 on a Monday no doubt.
It is around two feet high and one foot in diameter.

My finish!  Remember this summer when I posted about making
this Twister mini-quilt?  Well this evening I finally made the
binding for it and sewed it on.  Now it just needs to be washed,
and it will be ready to find a new home!
(thinking of putting it in my soon to open etsy shop)
I added tabs on the back so that it can be either a wall hanging
or a table mat.

The giveaway!!!
Sometime recently when I wasn't paying attention I hit FIFTY!!
Followers that is ;)
So to show my appreciation for all you lovely peeps I decided to
give one of you these three fat quarters :)

Since this is in appreciation of my faithful followers I will only pick
one of the Fifty peeps who have already been following my blog.
After all that is only fair,right?

How do you win these,you ask?

Well,remember the barrel in the second photo?
Leave me a comment on how I might use it in my sewing/craft room.
Simple as that!

I will announce the winner Next Monday ~ Good Luck

November Bee Blocks

So the Queen for November requested that we make her
these Wonky Star blocks.
I love the fabric she sent out to use for the blocks!

She said to feel free to play around with the
stars.  However since this was the first time that
I ever made these blocks, I just followed the
tut that she provided a link to.

We were also asked to make a improv block for the back of the
quilt,if we wanted to.
Believe it or not the small iprov block took me longer than the
regular sized ones did!

This was really a fun block and I will definitely be making these
again in the future.

Pinecone Ornaments finished

Remember this picture from this post?  Go ahead,check it out.
I will wait ;)
okay you back? 
Today I needed a little break from all that sewing lately.
So decided to finish these up.

Here is the first 3 that I did.  In all there are 12
but somehow I only took photos of 9 of them
for some reason.

The three red ornaments,one large and two small
ones.

Three of the smallest ornaments that I make.
I am happy to have these done as they will be
some of the first things listed in my New soon
to open etsy shop!  Which will be named
sewCeLynn.

The only bad thing about this project is that
when I was almost done with these I totally
burnt my pinky finger on my left hand,thank goodness
it wasn't my right!  Anyway I fried it so bad that it is
blistered,even tho I put mustard on it immediately!

So the moral of this story is,be extremely careful when
using glue guns,as they can burn you quite badly :(
I have burnt myself many times before,but never this
bad!

Linking up to Sunni's first linky party  :+)

2 Table Runners/2 Finishes!

Up first is the Table Runner that I have been posting about
for the online swap over at SewHappyGeek
It did not turn out to be the masterpiece that I had hoped for.
However over all I am fairly happy with it.
Just hope that my partner feels the same way!

 

 

This one is for a swap that the quilt guild I belong to is hosting.
I started out to make a Lil Twister Table Runner and then added
my own twist ;)  I am liking how this one turned out,hope she
(my partner) does too!

Hope you all have a great weekend :)
