Five for me:
1.Cheryl Wall from http://cheryl-countryquilts.blogspot.com/ who is a soul-mate from Canada.  Her style is so much fun! 

2. Melanie Pinney from http://Americanpiedesigns.blogspot.com/  who is my friend.  She works full time and still finds time to share her talent with the rest of us with her fun patterns.

3. Carol Crago from http://brownquilts4me.blogspot.com/ who is a dear friend that has always motivated me.  She is always there to lend a helping hand with the breast cancer quilts I'm involved in.

4. Stacy West from http://buttermilkbasin.blogspot.com/ who is my friend and one of the most creative people I've met. 

5. Cathi Gainey from http://www.shakerwoodwoolens.blogspot.com/ - my newest best friend with wool!  Check her out.






Five from me:

I love getting pictures.....

Angela Brady of Homespun Gatherings in Ash, NC sent me some pictures to share with everyone.   She's been a busy gal..

Top picture is A Little Porch Time (She put her dog by the watering can and his paws on the left hand side...it's so much fun to see everyone personalize this quilt to make it their own!) and on the left is May Baskets.  The bottom picture is of Aunt Ree's Raspberry Jam and on the left The Bundling Board. 

Love them all Angela!  Thanks so much for sharing with us. 

Maggey's WABBITS

I just received a fun picture from Maggey in Ilinois who made her WABBITS into a pillow.  It's so fun!  Thanks Maggey for sending a picture we can all enjoy.  Hugs, L

SEWING BOWL...........

Football really isn't my thing, so decided to have a Sewing Bowl.....and I won before the game even begins this evening!  HAR!
I've been hiding away in my sewing studio for days on end lately trying to finish up all my projects for the PMW 2012 event coming up in a few short months.....(yes, they do fly by here at my house!) 

I know this is early, but I do SOOOOOOO hope you can come play with me in Lee's Summit, Missouri this June.  We just have the best time!   Check out Quilter's Station website for all the details  -  http://www.quiltersstation.com/ 

I'll be teaching 3 projects -



A fun pillowcase you can make to cover existing pillows that might sit on your couch all year long. (I mean how many pillows can we store!)  Perhaps you have some on your bed  that could be festive for the holidays as well.  Learn to make this one, then make different ones for different seasons and/or holidays.  A whole stack of these don't take up much space.

Fabric and Wool

Rudolph is sitting in Santa's Sleigh and says, "Let's Ride"  He's really tired of being the one who has to lead the pack - shiny nose or not.!  Look, the poor deer has ornaments hanging from his antler's and the birds think they are a fun place to perch.  I think he might be a little crossed eyed as well. 

Fabric and Wool

And, an Advent Tree to count down the days until Christmas.....1-25 are stitched on one side and when you turn them over as the days pass.......you get a surprise.  Well, now I just can't tell you what it is...that would spoil all the fun.

Fabric and Wool

Come join me this summer and have the best 3 days of stitching, visiting with old friends and making new ones.  I promise you that you'll have the bestest time!

All these projects will become patterns after the June, PMW event.

Until next time,

Hugs, Lynda
