I was sooo super excited to learn that I recently won a Charm Pack of 12 days of Christmas from none other than Ms. Kate Spain herself on her blog giveaway.
I have recently fallen in love with her fabric lines lately. I made a perfect 10 quilt in the 12 days of Christmas line, and I have a layer cake of Fandango waiting to make a pinwheel quilt out of on my cutting table now. I would love some Verna, but I missed that one. So it came Friday, all wrapped in pretty red paper with a fun note. I was so excited my husband was laughing at me for squealing.... now what to make with this beautiful charm pack???

Would Anyone like some Bliss??

See the stack of Fat Quarters on the Right..... little blue bell is giving away that entire stack to one lucky winner. I am secretly hoping that I win, but I wanted to give you all a chance as well....please share with me if you win..... checkout her blog at here. You can also checkout her other site, talk about fabric while you are there


Goodluck!
Angie

I haven't forgotten you...

I haven't forgot all my friends in blogland. This past month has been unusually busy. It is nearing an end, and I am thankful to say that I had a super long weekend, but some time to sew.....I worked on my "Plan C" schnibbles, "What did you Call me" by the wooden bear, and designing my fandango P.S.I Quilt Pinwheel sampler quilt.....Oh if I didn't have to return to work tomorrow the things I could get done.... I promise pics coming soon....

Sew Love,
Angie

Perfect 10 Christmas Quilt

Perfect 10 Christmas Quilt
Originally uploaded by lovesewspecial

This is my "Perfect 10" 12 days of Christmas by Kate Spain for Moda Quilt. I just fell in love with this line and I really like how it came together in the end. I was a bit worried about it when I was looking at it on the design board.

The pattern is by swirlygirldesigns and I was able to cut, layout, piece, and iron this quilt in less than 6 hours. Gotta love that!
I also love the swirly girls. I know them both well and can not wait to show this to them this weekend hopefully!



Now, what to do about the quilting? I am trying to decide if I want to quilt it myself or send it to a long arm quilter. Hmm....

BTW: I showed it to my hubby in the middle of the process and he states..."It confuses me." and then a few minutes later, "You are going to finish a Christmas quilt before the middle of December? Are you okay?"

Gotta feel the love. I think it is beautiful, now keep it for my sofa, or do I give it as a Christmas gift???....hmmm...

Happy Labor Day everyone!
Love,
Angie
