This weeks Give-away!

First off, I hope you all ventured over to see the winning Double Wedding Ring Quilts at the NYC MOD blog! So much fun!! ...and so many incredibly beautiful quilts!

Second!  My SHOP PAGE and website is now updated with goods to purchase, thread, fabric books oh my!  (threads are on special price until January 1st.)  and also a SCHEDULE is added so you can see where might meet one day this coming year! And info if you'r looking for me to come teach and lecture.  Everything is on that page… Special Classes will also be listed there soon. I'm working out a few of those dates shortly…  FUN!  Pop over and check it all out…CLICK colored links)  One of these days I will get  newsletter together.. I just need a few more hours a day to get that done. LOL, insert big sigh here...

This past weekend, we were at our house on Long Island, and we set up the Aluminum Christmas tree! Classy huh? HAHA!  I have always loved having a real tree, but with steam heat in NYC, which kills the trees licktey split, and at our house if we are not there, we can't water a tree, so we went for fast and easy the last couple years. FAKE… and if you go fake, you might as well go WHITE or SILVER… right? Pink tree?  maybe next. ;-) 

Digging through the Christmas goodies, means pulling out christmas quilts!  Above is a small quilt when I was 19 years old.  Wait, wasn't that yesterday? sigh.

I pieced it on the machine, then, not knowing how to do binding, I very carefully, folded in the seam allowance and did a knife edge… I am still kind of shocked that it lays flat. (My skills were not exactly divine, then) I did however, go back and hand quilt it, not nearly enough quilting, but, it's still together, and I still love it. ;-) Memories.

More christmas quilt show and tell to come… I have made quite a few, and I'm very happy to pull them out for show and tell!

So how about this week, tell me your favorite HOLIDAY song…  Any holiday, I'm not picky. ;-)

I'll leave it open until Next Monday the 23rd, and 

On this one, It is for U.S. residents Only… Sorry!!! 

The 60mm Rotary Cutter is perfect for both right or left hand fabric cutting. The contoured handle design and soft cushion make for remarkable comfort when gripping to cut. Also, by cupping the end of the handle in the palm of your hand, you have greater control over the device, and can hold it upright to make straighter fabric cuts. Just flip the safety switch to release the blade from the safety guard.

The 2-Sided Cutting Mat is a professional quality, self-healing cutting mat. Double-sided with 22x16 inches on one side and 600x450 millimeters on the other. Five layers thick to protect your rotary blades as well as your work area. Multi-angled grid lines offer a variety of creative options for a perfect cut every time.
