Thimbleblossoms pattern and charm pack giveaway..

*****NOTE ***** Dotti White was chosen as the WINNER!! thanks for ALL your comments!
Since Moda has been on the brain these past days/weeks/months...what better way to start the weekend than none other than a giveaway!!!!
I bought some Thimbleblossoms patterns in April and a BUNCH of ric rack from Camille's Etsy shop. On top of that..a nearby quilt shop is sadly closing. So I picked up a few things for some giveaways here in the next weeks. The giveaway this round is 'on pins and needles' pattern and
a Cotton Blossom charm pack!!!

Here are the "rules".
Leave a comment with an idea of a project you'd like to see on Moda Bakeshop.....make sure that IF your profile is not public then leave your blog address, web address or email somewhere in your comment...or I won't be able to contact you as a winner. Since this is a holiday weekend...I'll draw Sunday May 24th.
Want another chance? spread the word on your blog then comment back to me...so I can check it out and give you another entry~!!!!!

A day

I decided today that for every item checked off my To-Do list...I could do something on my "want To-Do" list....so I headed to my local quilt shop to find a 60 degree ruler....which she is going to order for me...While I was there..UPS arrived with some new books...so they jumped in my car..somehow and followed me home. This first one is SImple Comforts by Kim Diehl...of course I NEEDED to buy some civil war FQ's to go with it... I WANT this quilt on the cover...guess I'll have to settle for making it myself...
Also worked a bit on a Jelly Roll Book quilt with Shangri-la...



Oh and this followed me home too...Joined at the Hip does it again.

I just melted when I saw this cutey...

bad blogger...

I've been a bad blogger. I have had so much happening at the home front that my computer time is nill. We have been trying to sell our home for 2 years....yep 2 years, and we already moved to our new one...so 2 mortgages. The market isn't good and it's even worse in a town of 20,000 people. This week I felt a bit low about all of it. We have to put more into it and lower the price. By more I mean take ALL the wallpaper down ( I Lothe removing wallpaper) and no I didn't put it up!! It was there when we bought the home. I never removed it! So now it has to come down. Plus we planted red geraniums to decorate the front, changed all the lighting to brushed nickel fixtures and the list goes on and on. Oh and did I mention my husband was out of town? well he was and I am was left to hold down the fort, work and take care of my children. Boy do I miss him when he's gone! Today we managed to get our garden in, plant several annuals and a few more perennials. I managed to finish this table topper and I used Moda's Objects of Desire charm pack. It's a Sandy Gervais pattern. I think it says Spring! or Summer!....or Fall by the time I get it quilted LOL! I have also been tempted to push some buttons...retail therapy since I couldn't/didn't get to market. Someday I will...someday...until then...I am feelin' these..Swanky and Neptune to use with my new book Stop, Drop and Roll and a Wonderland honey bun to use with a new Thimbleblossom pattern called Pint-Sized.


I am hoping to post a few more these next days. But then it's off to South Carolina for Memorial Weekend. I am sooo looking forward to that.
