Week 2 Giveaway 2

But first I want to share a special project with you.  Last year I got to know Sharon at Fabrics and Flowers when I entered a giveaway on her blog.  I won! She is a very talented designer and publishes under the name Color Girl.  I made the quilt in the pattern and was so happy with it.  After chit chatting back and forth she asked if I would mind proof reading patterns once in a while.  I jumped at the chance.

She has just designed a fan quilt called "Twirling Fans" and I got to proof it.  Not only did I proof it I made one of the blocks.  I thought it would be soooo hard but with her directions I made the block in a day.  She said I could share my block with you.

I pulled all of the fabrics from my scrap bag.  I could not believe how quickly it came together.  So please stop on over to her blog and check out the pattern. Just click on the link above.  You won't be disappointed.


Congrats to the winners from last weeks Giveaway.

Now for the second Giveaway.  Monday is my 25th Wedding Anniversary. What better way to celebrate than to have a giveaway of a book by one of my favorite authors and designers.

I love her designs so much that I purchased the book twice.  lol

For a chance to win the book leave me a comment that you are a follower and tell me what you like about Kim's designs.

For a second chance to win blog about my giveaway and let me know.

You have until Friday night to enter, a winner will be chosen on Saturday, February 15th.  Good Luck!!

Hugs, Cathy

P.S. It is starting to snow here yet again.  Boo hoo!

A Day Without Rain...or Sunshine.

Haven't been able to walk to much lately because of the RAIN.  But Hubby and I got up and went out to Metro Beach around 8:00 am to walk.  I forgot to bring my camera.  So of course all the Mom and Dad geese were taking their young for a walk.  What cute little fuzz balls they were. 

I don't have a lot to show as I am working on a new piecing project and still working on some applique projects.

This is what I am working on.  Some piecing, some applique and some paper piecing.    It is the Primitive Primer.  I started on it a few years back but only got the top row done.  I decided to start working on it again.  The little yellow lines on some of the blocks are sticky notes with the letter of the block.  Guess I'm afraid I will forget where they go.

This quilt has been hanging on my living room wall.  It was a mystery quilt I made. 

This is the quilt now hanging in it's place.  It is a quilt designed by Kim Diehl and was in BHG American Patchwork.  I instantly fell in love with it. 

And a big WOO HOO!! I got my copy of  Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks that I won during the blog hop in the mail yesterday.  I've been drooling ever since.  Can't wait to start making some of the blocks.

Wishing you a quilty day.

Hugs, Cat
