Give Away
I just dropped in to let you know that I found a give away that you might be interested in. It's being held over at Aunt Polly's Porch. She's entered in the bust my stash contest at AccuQuilt so if you have a few minutes go to facebook/Accuquilt/contest, look at all the photos and vote for you favorite. I'm feeling better about my stash after seeing some of the ones posted. If they do this again I'll have to enter mine I should have it all put away by then. If you get busy and don't get entered I'll understand. Should I be lucky enough to win I'll be sure and post pictures. Good luck to you all.

Happy National Quilting Day
What better way to celebrate National Quilting Day than by entering the giveaway at http://sewcalgal.blogspot.com . She is also having the 2011 Golden Quilter Awards. Here's your chance to vote for your favorite quilters and designers. This runs through the 31st of March.
This quilt is one of my favorites. My sister designed this pattern and one weekend we pieced it for a customer of mine and I quilted it using the Double Rose Vine pantograph. It really came out nice and I'd like to make one for our bed. My sister calls her pattern House of Cards.
This quilt is called King David's Crown from a book by Sally Schneider and Barbara J. Eikmeier called Traditional Quilts with Painless Borders. I was lucky enough to be able to take a class from Sally when she lived in Washington. I'd also like to make another one of these large enough to fit our King Sized bed so it is on the TO DO list. The cat is Squeak giving it the cat seal of approval. Hope spring is showing in your area soon.
Finally, keep the Japanese people in your prayers. They will survive, but it will be a very long haul. There are places starting to gather quilts to send and you can find out some information at Quiltville.com.

And We're Off
Good Morning to everyone. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far. While I was reading my email this morning I came across something tiltled Quilt Fever. It is an animation of quilts set to music. Very entertaining and you can find it on the right side of my blog. Don't forget to have your sound on.
The give away has started and you have until midnight Friday the 25th to enter. I am looking forward to your quilting story.

Get Ready
Okay, I hope you are all ready to play give away with me. The give away will start at midnight tonight Friday the 18th, Mountain time and will run through Friday the 25th at midnight my time (Mountain). The rules are simple:
1. You must have a blog for your entry to count and post about my give away on your blog. All others are welcome to post, but no blog no entry, sorry.
2. Please tell me how long you have been quilting, why you got started and your favorite quilt pattern to make. Anything else you want to mention is fine also. Example: I have been quilting since 1989. In 1990 I got my first quilting machine because I really didn't like quilting on my sewing machine and I didn't like to tie my quilts. When I got the machine DH said, "It's to expensive ($3200.00) for you to have and maybe not use, so I went into to business just so I could have the machine. I discovered I really liked it and I am still in business today. My favorite quilt pattern is the Ohio Star. It's really hard to pick just one.
3. Last but not least have fun.
The first winner will get the signed copy of Bonnie Hunter's new book Scraps & Shirttails II. I'll have a couple of other things also and will post them over the weekend. Winners will be picked by a random number generator.
So if you don't have a blog and really want to be in the running for a chance you have time to get one set up. Like me you may find you enjoy it more than you thought you would.
I'll leave you with a picture of Squeak enjoying her new climbing, scratching stand. She loves to sit on it and watch the action or create her own.

Teaser
Today in the mail I rec'd Bonnie Hunter's new book "Scraps & Shirttails
II". I ordered two so there is one for me and one for a give-away. A Special Bonus it is signed by Bonnie. So stay tuned for details and dates. It will be sometime between now and the end of February have to give some thought to the details. I've had a quick peek and it is even better than the first one.

It's Been a Busy Week
It's been a busy week. I moved all the boxes with fabric and yarn out to the quilt room. DH and the grandson put up 3 cabinets for me to put fabric in, so I have started a box at a time to fold it and put it on the shelves. I'm using Bonnie Hunter's 
sewing room as a guide. So far I'm liking the 
results. Right now I'm just trying to get them in color families no particular order, then I'll sort each color family into a better order. The picture on the right is almost everything I had in the bedroom in the house. I still have a cutting table and some things stored in the closet to move once I make some room. I'm also thinking that sometime before the end of the year (once the room is in order) I'll probably have another give away to celebrate. I'm thinking the give away might involve you posting a picture of your sewing room so we can have a tour of sorts. This is an early warning in case you want to join in you'll have time to straighten up - or not whichever you prefer. When I'm ready I'll let you all know so stay tuned. IT's going to take me awhile to get through all those boxes.
