It's Give Away and Holiday Time!

Before I swan off on holiday I thought it's time for a little give away... or two.... or three!

The first one is for everybody who leaves a comment on this post. Your name is going into the hat for this:

 Hullabaloo Layer Cake by Moda

And if you blog about this give away then you'll stand to win this. Please also leave  a comment, telling me where you blogged about it.

Bali Pops Strawberry Fields

And last but not least; this one is one for my loyal followers (old and new) only. Again,  leave a message that says that you are "following" and your name will go in the draw for this:

 Modern Workshop Jelly Roll by Moda

The give away is open to everybody, no matter where you live.  The last day to enter will be the 9th of May and I will draw three random winners upon my return. I will get in touch with the winners, so please make sure I have a way to contact you. Good luck everybody.

The suitcases are packed and we are ready to go early tomorrow morning. We'll have a little stop in the desert (Dubai) on our way to Switzerland. At the beginning of May we'll  whiz over to Boston for DS graduation. I can't believe my baby is graduating University!
I hope to pop in here from time to time, but don't bank on it.
In the meantime, take care.

The fastest quilt ever!

Of course I had to drop everything and give it a go. I didn't use a jelly roll; mostly because I didn't want to "waste" my lovely Bliss roll, but also because I didn't want to make it quite as big. I used mostly scraps.

After I've finished sewing all the strips together it looked rather colourful, and not necessarily in a good way. I appliquéd some flowers on as it's meant to be a baby quilt. And there's another reason for the flowers as I had to patch over where I had -  once again - cut into the top while snipping off stray threads. I've lost count how many times I've done that. One would think one would learn, but sadly not me ;(.

 All ready to go to a local quilt shop which is collecting baby quilts to send to Japan.

And it seems it has become a bit of a tradition of late to show you the boxes I  or my friends have made during our workshop. Last week we ditched quilting in favor of box making during our quilt group meeting. I think everyone enjoyed it and was quite pleased with the results.

We're off on our home leave (I'm still calling it that, although I consider Singapore home now) later in the week. But I'm back before that for a little give away. So watch this space.
