Oh how I love my quilt blogging friends!

I sat down at the desk to read through some blog posts while I nibbled on my breakfast and a wonderful email popped up.

It was from Kathy who blogs over at Kwilty Pleasures (love the blog name btw).

She informed me that I had won her blog-aversary giveaway. 

Whoo hoo!

And lookie at what she is sending to little ole me.

This gorgeous Kwilty Pleasures tote bag.

I'm in heaven. The fabrics she used for this are just perfect.

A few of us are planning an Eastern PA shop hop trip for November and this will most definitely be coming with me, but if you see me along the way, do not try to wrestle this out of my hands. It could get nasty.

Thank you, thank you Kathy. I love it and I will enjoy using it for a long, long time.

All of the charm swap spots are filled!

Thank you to everyone that joined in. I can't wait for the packages to arrive and to see all the fabric goodness.

Kate's newest line
is due to be in stored in February.

If so, tell me in a comment here and when the time comes, I'll be sure to let you know personally.
If there are enough folks wanted to join in, I'll consider making it open to more people.

This is the last call for participants for the Kate Spain Charm Swap.

I have only 7 5 4 spots available for anyone that wants to join in on the charm swap goodness so email me today if you want in. All of the details you need to know are here.

Yes there are still spots available in the Kate Spain Charm Swap.

Yes I haven't been near my studio in way too long and Yes it is driving me crazy.

She needs to wear them on the field trip in the morning to the apple orchard. They need about 10 inches cut off. They are the smallest size the shop had available and they are still huge. Because of the color required I wasn't able to buy them from the places I typically shop for her where they carry normal length pants in her size.
 

Yes unless something major happens this afternoon I AM going to go to my guild meeting tonight. I want to try it and see if I like belonging to a guild. Last month too many events collided that kept me from making the meeting.
 

Yes I am loosing some of my usual Friday me time to chaperone the above mentioned preschool field trip. I'm a seasoned chaperone so I'm pretty used to this plus it is actually fun. But No I won't get to sew once I get home...I have a lot more consignment sale work to do. Bummer!
 

Yes I have a mountain of projects on my To Make list and have made progress the last 6-8 weeks on virtually none of them. Life has just gotten in the way a lot but I'm hoping that things will settle down and I'll start crossing things off that list.
 

 Yes I'm starting to get a bit cranky due to my lack of sewing time, as you can imagine.

That happens when it has been too long since I've stepped foot into my studio. I'm rescheduling my work life so that I can correct that situation. Nobody wants to live with a cranky momma.

Yes I like the beautiful fall weather we are having lately, warm and sunny days....

but all good things usually come to an end and I DO NOT like what comes next.

I guess I'd better get back to work so I'll see you all later!
