(Does this title remind you of a "Pete and Repeat" joke as much as it does me?) What I've been up to (crafty-wise). :) Finished the quilting on: Fig Tree Quilts Scrap Lab Table-Topper Quilt The angle of my shot exaggerates it, but some of the colored bands ARE definitely longer than the others. lol! Good thing they are my favorites. ;) This is my first-ever quilt finish: Machine pieced, hand-quilted, turned-bound, washed and machine-dried. It really does get nice, scrunchy, and wonderfully quilty after drying. A Stitching Finish: Nighttime Hearth Motif from PSBk150 "December" Linen: 28ct. Natural by Wichelt Fiber:DMC to spec. Usually, I consider stitching Christmas ornaments to be a pain, b/c there are only 50 I want NOW and I don't feel Christmassy stirrings in the slightest until after Thanksgiving. I do look forward to stitching an ornament alongside the tree however. I'm ALL ABOUT The Tree. So, I'm pretty happy to be on a bit of kick for it latel

Hello Everyone! Thanks to all the faces new and old who stopped by for my giveaway party! :D I do apologize that I'm getting these winners posted up late; it has been quite busy in me-land lately, but above all the ruckus was the arrival of my new computer late last week! I was SO overdue for an upgrade and transitioning to the new system is eating my computer time. In a good way, though. :D Without further ado, the Scissors Case Giveaway Results: For the "Purchasers" Case, there were 5 people who bought a kit, and the winner is Barbara Sturtz ! She will get first pick on the colorway (original blue or variant plum). For the "Partiers" Case, Parsley wins! She will receive the other case. :D ... Ladies, I've emailed you to request shipping addresses. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to enter and Special Thanks to my kit purchasers!!! You guys are the best! Berit P.S. Hope to see you soon with a small stitchy update!
