SHOW and TELL

I haven't been able to do a 'Show and Tell' post for a while because SOME PEOPLE aren't sending my pix of their finished projects! (yea, I'm talkin' to YOU!)

But today I do because Lindsay just sent me the cutest pictures:

Look at that cute boy all snuggled in his brand new quilt!

It's 'Diamond in the Rough' and I LOVE IT! The color palette that she used is one of my favorites. Very boy- young or old- it's perfect!

Thanks Lindsay for sharing! You'll be recieving a free COL pattern of YOUR CHOICE!

Yes folks, that's correct. If you send my pix of your COL project for "Show and tell" I'll send you a FREE pattern. So get those projects finished and send me a pic will ya'!? ' :o)

We have a winner!

Sorry for the late start this morning.

No school = sleeping in!

This is the first time I did a multiple-entry contest. The only way I figured I could do it was to write a name on a slip of paper for each entry and that's what I did. But it took a while!

Then all the folding of those little slips!

Into a box. Shake it around. Ask a cute 7 yr. old to pick one out.....

DEBI is the winner! (email me with your contact info., K?)

Thanks so much to everyone that 'plugged' my blog on theirs. The more people that hear about Crazy Old Ladies the better, right!?

Don't worry if you didn't win- It won't be too much longer before you can get the patterns on my Etsy shop. Thanks for playing!

DOUBLE BUBBLE

CONTEST CLOSED!

Check back tomorrow for the WINNER!

All right, here it is, the last of my 'newest patterns'! I absoluetly LOVE this pattern. Do any of you remember this post? Well, this is the EVA quilt "revisited". Can you imagine this pattern in EVA? It was beautiful. But it looked just like Moda's. :o) I am so happy with how it turned out using 'BLUSH' by Basic Grey. What do you think?

OK, so here's the deal. I want to have another contest. BUt I'm going to do this one a little differently than I usually do. Here's the rules:

First- You need to post on your blog about my blog and all my wonderful new patterns. ;o) This will give you one entry into the contest.

Second- If you are not already a follower to my blog, add yourself as one and get another entry into the contest.

Third- Go to Etsy and add my shop as one of your favorites and get another entry.

Lastly- come back to MY blog and leave a comment telling me all the things you did and how you're spreading the 'word' about COL patterns!

I know, lots to do, but it's worth it. The winner will recieve a packet containing one of each of the 5 new patterns!

The contest will run through Saturday, Feb. 13 and end @ midnight (Mountain time!) The winner will be announced on Monday, Feb. 15. Make sure you check back to see if you've won!

Brigham City!

I know, I know. I didn't post what I said I was going to post. But I was busy!

Thursday morning I got a call from a wonderful friend up in Brigham City, Utah. Fran, from Village Dry Goods was in a bind. Her guild was meeting on Sat. and she needed a guest and she called ME!!! See, me and Fran go WAAAAAYYY back. :o) When I was first starting my business I showed Fran and a few other girls from her shop some of our quilts- from the trunk of my car. It was a REAL trunk-show!

So this morning I woke bright and early for a 2 hour drive north to the quaint town of Brigham City. Thank goodness my BFF came with me or that would've been a boring drive! If you've never been in Brigham City, you should. It is the cutest town that sits in northern Utah and is the gateway from the Salt Lake valley to Logan, UT. Everytime we head to Logan we get to go through Brigham City and I always stop at Village Dry Goods. They have such a cute store and a great selection of fabric for EVERYONE. I always end up with several great finds from their store.

The purpose of my trip was to present a trunk-show of my quilts and patterns to the guild. I hauled 2 large totes overflowing with quilts and I never thought they'd want to see ALL of them, but they did. Thos ladies were wonderful. Afterwards I stopped into the store (how could I not?) and boy was it packed. All those ladies from he guild plus regular customers- we had those ladies cuttin' fabric like crazy. A couple of husbands even wandered in and boy were they sorry! LOL ;o) Of course I found a few "must haves", then we were off to lunch.

Fran took me to Ricardo's for the most AMAZING chicken chimichanga I have ever had. It was rather large but tasted so good. And since we sat and talked for a long while I ate all of it! Boy was I full. But not too full for Idle Isle's. Idle Isle is a hometown chocolate shop with some yummy treats. My BFF has been going there for years and insited we go. I'm glad we did. I ate chocolate's all the way home.

I gotta say, it was a fantastic day! Thanks all you ladies for making it so fun- can't wait to come up and party again soon.

Ah Choo!

So my goal to post more often has been interrupted by sickness. You know, the kind you get only a day after thinking "Hmmm, I haven't been sick in a while." Well, I have it. I think it's just a BAD cold, but it's running me down. Not feeling like doing much of anything except sit (or lie) on the couch- if you know what I mean.

I have one more new pattern to show. I hope to post on friday. Maybe I'll have enough energy to post a little extra something for you! ;o)

In the meantime- check out this post from a while back. This quilt features the fabric BOUTIQUE by Chez Moi for Moda that is in stores NOW!!!!! (Don't be shy- I swear, it's EASY!!)
