What a fun giveaway how perfect for a camper! Took a look around your blog it is great! Thanks for doing the giveaway!

Congratulations Jo. You will be receiving an email from me to get your mailing information.

Thank you and a Big Hug to each of you that left a comment.  I plan to have another giveaway in June, so come back often and keep an eye out.  A special Thank You to those of you that became followers.  I promise to get back to posting, now that the giveaway is over.

 

It's Giveaway Time - CLOSED

OK, it is a little past the every three months goal that I established for giveaways.  If you check out my last few postings, you will see how I have been spending my free time.

So, on to the rules.  Leave a comment on this post for a chance to win the two items below.  The Winner will be chosen on March 28th.  Make sure that I can contact you by email, (either by a link through your comment or included in your comment.)

The winner will receive the "Route 66, America's Main Street" Quilt Pattern and 1 1/2 yards of Route 66 fabric used in the border.  The quilt size is 64.5" x 84", but each block can stand alone, if you have a favorite.  It can be appliqued or fused, which ever you prefer.

If you are new to this blog, take a look around.  You may comment on anything, just put it on this posting to win.  Good Luck!!!

Night Divas donation to Flower Pot Raffle

The quilt bee that I belong to, "Night Divas", finished our donation basket this weekend.  It will be part of the Flower Pot Raffle at the West Houston Quilters Guild Show in April.

All of the items had to be secured in the picnic basket, so We took a picture of the contents to display at the show.

A large Picnic Basket, 4 Family Aprons,  Chef Hat for Dad,  Tablerunner, 6 Placemats, 6 Napkins, 4 Potholders and two Outdoor/Grilling books.  Not bad for a bee with three members.

The picture below is everything in the basket, with shrink wrapping, for transporting and displaying.

If you live in or near the Katy, TX area, come to our show on April 8th and 9th.  It will be at the Leonard E. Merrell Center, 6301 South Stadium Lane, Katy, TX, 77494.  It will be hosted by the West Houston Quilters Guild.  Our website is www.whqg.org. and our theme is "In A Quilter's Garden".  Hope to see you there.

My Flower Pot Won!

There were 14 entries in the Flower Pot Contest last night at Guild.  I WON!!!  WOO! HOO!  I get a ticket for entering and 20 tickets for winning.  I can put these tickets in the flower pots at our quilt show, www.whqg.org,  in April to win one of the Flower Pot Raffle items.  I have my eye on several prizes.

We need more pots, so the contest will be held again in March.  I wish that I had taken my camera last night, there were some really cute entries.

Bunnies, Bunnies and More Bunnies

I just received an update from my fellow Bee member, Judith, on the Bunnies.  These will go in the Guild Shop in April at the West Houston Quilters Guild Show.  Check out our website for details, whqg.org.

Judith and I had a little workshop/sew-in last year to get the bunnies started.  I helped some with these bunnies.  All the real credit goes to Judith for finishing and decorating each one with care.  Below is a beautiful picture of  the completed Bunnies.

A Productive Week

I finished the Six Placemats and Tablerunner for the "Flower Pot Raffle" entry by my Bee.  Yeah, now I can breathe.

Yesterday, I hot glued all the flowers on my Flower Pot Competition Entry.  They will be judges on Wednesday night at our Guild Meeting.  I only have one war wound.  It has been a while since I have used the glue gun.  I forgot to put a bowl of water and ice beside me.  After the first blister, I remembered.

This is where the tickets will be inserted during the show.  

At the end of the show, the pot will be turned over and a winner will be drawn from each pot.  The pot has to look good, upside down and right side up.  I glued a Wildflower fabric on the top of the pot, because it has to fit into the saucer.  The thick flowers would have caused a problem.

Thank you and a BIG HUG to all the ladies that posted fabric flower tutorials on their blogs.  I looked at a lot of them and used parts of several and yo-yo flowers to fill in any empty spaces.  The leaves on the saucer and top are two pieces of fabric, steam-a-seamed together and cut out.  Then I sewed a vein down the middle.

The Flower Pot Raffle

I mentioned "The Flower Pot Raffle" in my last post.  Our Guild use to call this "The Tin Can Raffle".  The theme for our Quilt Show this year is "In A Quilter's Garden".  Thus, the name change.  We are replacing the tin cans with decorated flower pots. People buy tickets and put a ticket or many tickets, if you really want to win that item, in the flower pot that goes with that item.  At the end of the show, a name is drawn from each flower pot to win that item.

We are having a contest for the best decorated flower pot.  The winner gets a large amount of tickets to go into the flower pots.  Remember that quilt that must come to live with me?  Below is a sneak peek at what I am planning for the big win.  Don't tell anyone.
