Day 11 - Final Quilts of Tabletop Turnabouts

The winner of the signed copy of

Tabletop Turnabouts from

the Midnight Serenade post is

Marsha B who said

"I can't wait for the book to come out,

everything in it is so adorable."

Well thank you Marsha.

And thanks to all who have taken

the time and energy to comment.

And I'm sorry there has been a lag 

between some of the posts.

But......

1) It's almost time for Market which

means we are busy, busy, busy

and

2) I got the scans of the fabric for

my next line and started designing quilts.

Once I start designing a quilt it kind of

takes over and doesn't let go until

the quilt is at least resolved in my mind.

It doesn't have to be finished but I

need to know that it's going to work.

So Marsha, will you please email Tammy 

your snail mail address and and she will send 

your signed copy of the book.

Now for this week, make a comment and this time 

the random number generator will pick someone to win

  a Table Stand.

And thanks for coming along with 

Martingale and me on this

journey through the quilts in

Tabletop Turnabouts.

Keep quilting ladies.  :)

Day 7 of Tabletop Turnabouts

The page from Tabletop Turnabouts

for today features my little quilt

Acorn Lane

Right now I think we're all very

appreciative of Spring with it's

warmer weather after the harsh winter.

Normally, however, Fall is my favorite

time of the year.  Squirrels scurry to 

bury acorns to savor during 

the long winter months.

Pumpkins, crisp days and nights and 

beautiful leaves are just a few of

the pleasures to be enjoyed each Fall.  

The winner of the fabric scrap bag and 

magnetic pincushion from Down by the Sea 

is Susie H. who is a Pisces girl with a special 

affection for whales.

Ladies from Tennessee & Day 6 from Tabletop Turnabouts

Yesterday we had a visit 

from a very nice group of ladies,

mostly from Tennessee with one or two 

from Georgia and I think there was 1 from Ohio.

I believe their common bond was originally 

doing a Sew Along with my book Homespun Hearth.

They called a couple of months ago to

see if they could come by.

We spent 2 or 3 enjoyable hours 

chatting and sewing and shopping.

Altogether a great group of ladies.

Thanks again for coming.  :)

The page from Tabletop Turnabouts

for today features my little quilt

Down by the Sea.

I just love whales - they are such awesome creatures

and we all need to work together to make sure

they are around for future generations to see.

We have a winner from 2 weeks ago

 of the scrap bag and Clover thimble.  It is Sheila S

who said "Oh my Gosh - Happy little quilts, 

They make me feel happy inside.".

mail address and she will mail you
