Denise J. (who loves the APQ website - who doesn't?) is the winner of our Frost pattern/fabric this week. Please email your info to ktquilts2@twinvalley.net and we'll send it out next week. Thanks to everyone who shared their favorite websites. I've checked out several and have enjoyed web surfing.
Obviously the new website is on hold. We've encountered a glitch that has taken longer than I thought to straighten out - isn't that always the way? Hopefully in the next day or two. Don't give up on me!
I spent most of the day Saturday at Quilter's Station in Lee's Summit, MO visiting with Rita's First Saturday group (over 60 quilters) and assorted customers as they perused her wonderful selection of fabric, wool, books/patterns and decorating items. Her shop is full of eye candy with dozens of quilts hanging from the ceiling and in homey vingettes scattered around the store. I wandered and shopped, met new quilters and caught up with old friends from our retreat days. A lovely day. Rita has a trunk show of our newest quilts in her shop for a limited time, so stop by if you're in the area.
One of the projects that drew alot of attention was our Pinwheel Mini Table Treat. It still delights me to introduce quilters to our easy, peasy raw edge applique technique and see their eyes light up when they realize "I can do this!" Sooooo, this week's giveaway is the Pinwheel pattern/kit.
Believe it or not, all you need is (4) 5" charm squares for the pinwheel and border triangles. Who doesn't have a few charm squares laying around? The larger triangles are stitched into just one seam in a 4-patch for the pinwheels with the raw edges stitched down as you quilt. The border triangleedges are simply tucked under the smaller circle, overlapping points to fit, and stitched down as you're quilting. Pinwheels blocks always make me think of March winds and old windmills in Kansas so this little table topper is perfect for early spring decorating. Comment here by Sunday night 10pm. to be eligible to win! I will be out of town on Monday, Feb. 13th (our 25th anniversary) so if I'm not WiFi connected (or otherwise busy), I'll be posting the winner on Tuesday morning. See you all then!

I love your round toppers--and this one is perfect for spring! Happy Anniversary !!
ReplyDeleteOoh that's a great looking table topper. And a circular table topper is perfect for me because my son and his fiancee have a round table that I need to make them a topper for this next Christmas.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the website glitch. Those are always so frustrating to figure out and fix sometimes. It seems you fix one glitch and it creates another.
Happy anniversary. Love this little table topper. Thanks for the chance to win it.
ReplyDeletelyn.robyn.smith@gmail.com
I am loving these table treats! I don't get how you explained the larger triangle part, sorry, but I can do the rest for sure. Love those little toppers!
ReplyDeleteWhen I get overwhelmed with the online life, and I'm am easily overwhelmed with it all, I remember my Mother who bought a computer at 70 and switched from the typewriter to email for communicating with her family because she needed to keep sharp and modern. She struggled with it, I have to admit, and my son was one of her computer geek grandchildren who helped her straighten herself out but she kept at it. I don't know what she would have done with smart phones and IPads and everything that has become available in the last 10 years. I only want to maintain her attitude and keep trying these crazy and beyond my imagination things. Thanks for the giveaway and happy anniversary.
ReplyDeleteGood for your Mom - and you for embracing this crazy,scary techno world. I find I have to really work at it and spend a lot of time on it, but now I enjoy blogging, getting feedback from all the Quilters. Thanks for playing here, Lynne
DeleteHappy anniversary! Love the pinwheel mat, it would be perfect to tease a friend that can do that Geico pig Wheeeee!...and as a perfect birthday present for me when you announce on the 14th!

Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteLove the table topper. The pinwheel reminds me of those curled pinwheel toys on sticks. I'd get dizzy puffing breaths of air to keep mine spinning when I was a kid!
Happy 25th Anniversary! Enjoy your trip away. Thanks for the chance to win this lovely pinwheel table topper.
ReplyDeleteFantastic new web site, easy to maneuver. I like the new mini table topper. What a great idea to use up left over charm squares.

I want to learn to applique so bad . . . and love everything Kansas Troubles! We enjoyed our time in SA last November. WiFi worked great in the historical Menger Hotel. Have a great time! Debbie
ReplyDeleteNew web site looks nice. Looking forward to more posts later.
ReplyDeleteI haven't done any table toppers yet but I do like this one. Will have to try one --on my list of future projects--have to finish some I've started first.
Hope you had a happy anniversary and a great time celebrating. Do you celebrate Valentine's Day at the same time?
Sitting in the San Antonio airport, reading all of your supportive comments, waiting on our flight home. Have had a delightfully fun and restful trip - even took time to see a movie, The Vow. Very good and very appropriate for date night/ anniversary. Flying back to snow/ freezing rain. It would just break my heart to be " snowed in" at a motel by the airport - it would give us one more night before getting back to the real world.
ReplyDeleteTalk to ya tomorrow, Lynne
