Catching Up

Guess What?
Not only is it already  Friday and I have been missing in action for a few days, but, I have been bussssssy!  Time to let you know what I have been up to since my last post.
Hey guess what, I found a nice February Giveaway for you, prettiest 6" charm pack is the gift, so head on over to Whimsical Mermaid, not only is this giveaway bright and cheerful, but Loralei is interesting.  
You all know that I have been searching for a new sewing machine, something with lots of bells and whistles on it that my basic Janome never had.  My poor baby is as I told you last week really sick and not amount of tinkering with her seems to be making her sew any better! I found one, and thanks to a good friend I can get her ahead of time and save the sale, as the lady who is selling it wants to upgrade and if I didn't want it she was going to trade up on her way back home from the U.S. - I won't see the new baby until next week, but in anticipation of her being adpoted into my family I am cleaning up my sewing space.  This is going to be my Birthday gift to myself - ssssssshhhhh don't tell myself, okay, it is a surprise!!  Isn't she lovely?
Husqvarna Sapphire 835!  Do any of you know this machine or have one, what do you think of it?
NOW seeing as I am late in announcing my FEBRUARY GIVEAWAY, here it is and because Valentine's Day is just around the proverbial corner I chose a 1 yard piece of this pretty fabric, a set of 32 of  5" X 5"  scrappy charms from my personal stash, and this beautiful Copy of Australian Country Threads Magazine all pictured below.
See these are some of the charms I keep finding
For Your Entry (just to make Mr. Random work of course) go on over to The Quilting Gallery and vote for a Commemorative Quilt(s) of your choice.  I love the Quilting Gallery and voting each week for the various themed quilts other quilters share with us. Leave a comment for me here on which quilt you voted for. 
I will close off this GIVEAWAY on VALENTINE'S Day and announce the winner on Wednesday, February 15th. 
Have you seen the neat little Heart Reverse Machine applique Cushion you can make through the new Missouri Star Quilt Co. tutorial posted today? If you would like to see how this is accomplished for the video tutorial head  on over to here.  
Thank you for visiting with me today, I sincerely hope it is a great day for you, filled with love and laughter. 
Remember any and all comments are welcomed by me, and to JOANNIE  of Joannie's Quilts, I lost your address (same place I left my brain, me thinks) so would you kindly send it to me once again, then I can put this squishy for you into the snail mail bag. 
A hug delights and warms and charms, that must be why God gave us arms.  ~Author Unknown

  16. Thanks for the chance to get in on your giveaway. Whew... found it just in the nick of time. I missed the voting, but I would have voted for Lincoln Home, You Are My Sunshine, Betty & Bob, and Family Tree. Happy Valentine's Day!

  17. I could not vote either. Maybe they closed the voting early (?) Thanks for sharing the link. I loved Tea with Florence the best, although so many were wonderful!

  18. No, Linda the voting closes the same time each contest, and I knew that and that is why I said you could just tell me which one you would vote for if voting.
    The weekly themed contests are so interesting, and I didn't want anyone to have to become a follower, I would rather have followers who wish to become followers on their onw, or answer a skill testing question (LOL), so I love using the weekly themed contests at The Quilting Gallery.
    Phew I think I have said too much...

    So glad you all took the time to enter, I love giving and this Valentine's day is a wonderful excuse, don't you think?
