Not only is it the start of the Give Thanks Blog Hop Party organized by Quilting Gallery,
It's also my birthday! Do you think Michele from Quilting Gallery planned the party and balloons just for me? :) Anyway, it seemed like the perfect time to join the party and give some fabric away (so I can go out and buy more!!!)
If this is your first time visiting my blog, welcome! I use my blog to hold myself accountable for the various projects I'm working on (5 and counting before Christmas...yikes!), and to create and share tutorials in between those. If we've been online friends for a while, welcome back!
Before the giveaway details, I wanted to share a little peek at what I've been working on.
I finished piecing the quilt top for my friends' new baby boy. You can read more about it here. These blocks went together so quickly--I figured out I could sew 5 blocks in half an hour.
And here's my other current project, a chevron tree skirt (actually 2, though I'm only piecing one for this year! I'll save the leftover pieces for next year). You can see my original post on this here.
Which one do you like best?
Find the entire list of bloggers participating in the giveaway here.
Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing to do is to have a full day of uninterrupted sewing!
ReplyDeleteIt always seems like I am working on my birthday. But I do enjoy my oldest grand daughter's birthday. We always take a day and go to the beach for a walk and there is this little shop on Prince Edward Island that we go to every year. It has a very unique gift shop that we enjoy broucing around and then we go out back and walk around the flower beds and sit on the unique furnisher that this guy makes and last year we did lunch. It is a little fancy and pricey but we had a great day. It is called The Dunes. Very nice
ReplyDeleteI love to have my husband cook me a nice meal. He's much better in the kitchen than I am!

ReplyDeleteI like to go out to dinner with my husband and daughters (if they are able to come to town) on my birthday.
Thank you for the chance at the giveaway.
Happy Birthday! I like celebrating by being surprised some how, but rarely does it happen that way. My husband likes to plan out ahead a time, but last year I was surprised when an old friend called me the day before my Birthday and she was in town all the way from Spokane-I am in San Diego-It was the best birthday!
ReplyDeleteBy the way-I also like the top tree skirt color way.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I usually go shopping and get something I have been wanting but the price is too much just to buy, ya know what I mean. This year I needed a new cutting mat and rotary cutter. I went to my LQS where I work part-time and picked them out but when I went to pay they wouldn't let me. I have the best bosses in the world.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I always ask for "a day" for my birthday. A day with my family out and doing something together, the together part is the gift.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I like to go out to eat with either my family or my girlfriends to celebrate my birthday. (or both, on separate evenings-ha!)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday. I like the second of the two Christmas tree skirts the best. When I was a kid, my favorite birthday thing to do was getting to choose what we would have for dinner. I also usually got to choose what kind of cake. As an adult, I guess I would say go out to dinner at a place of my choosing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you! My favorite thing to do on my birthday is eat cake! (It's pretty much the only day of the year that I do!) I like the first tree skirt best, btw.

He'll make our favorite dinner for each of us. My favorite is Mom's barbecued spare ribs. The BEST! Of course with creamy mashed potatoes and whatever else he has on hand. Mom's spare ribs are my niece's favorite too, but she wants rice with it when it's her birthday. Thanks for the opportunity.
