Still Namless


I just finished sewing the outer border on the Halloween Calendar quilt. Although I had some good suggestions, I still haven't found the RIGHT name.

When I name my patterns it's just one of those things- I know it when I hear it.

So I'm going to have another contest.

On the right side of the screen (at the top!) I added a Poll for you to vote on your favorite of the three names. Leave me a comment telling me that you voted and you'll be entered to win a free pattern (plus a bundle of scraps that I used to make this quilt!)
The contest ends on Aug. 3 sometime in the middle of the day (blogger was being stupid and not letting me change the date and time).
At the end of the contest whichever name gets the most votes will be the new name for the pattern and Random.org will select a winner from the comments. PLEASE VOTE!!!

Selvage Blog!

Did anyone see this?

I just checked my email and had a cute message from Kat Runyan (Yes, Tula's Mom!) asking how I got my quilt posted on 'Selvage Blog'?

I'm thinking "I did!?"

So I hopped on over and there it was! *SQUEAL!*

Thanks for sharing my quilt blogginmommy, so the rest of the world can see it! :o)

Happy Monday!

Leftovers

After my 'stash' sale I'll post pictures of what's left-

still trying to decide how to manage the whole thing.

Maybe they'll go on Etsy.

Maybe I'll give them to the highest bidder.

Maybe the first one to comment.

not sure.

I'll let you know.

CRAZY!!

Thought I'd share a pic of one of my 'scrap' projects.

Found a box of scraps I started playing with over a year ago and decided to FINISH this UFO- by the end of the summer! (sometimes setting a goal actually helps in accomplishing something)
Of course I am strip piecing this- but still!

Wanna make a 'CRAZY' postage stamp quilt like this? It started with leftover Jelly Roll strips that I cut in half lengthwise. That makes them 1 1/4" wide. Now I know there's a whole group of quilters out there that do those 'Oh My Gosh' quilts with teeny-tiny pieces. But I'm not one of them. This is about as small as I get- hence the reason I'm calling it 'CRAZY'.
