A "Sweet" "Tweet" GIVEAWAY!!!!

Enjoying a little free sewing...

and Mug Rugs seem to be a perfect item to always have on hand

to give to friends - new or old!

My first little set of birdies were made 

for a new friend...

I bought the gray background fabric from Joann's and that gorgeous

red floral print is from SWEETWATER Fabrics...my favorite designers!

And of course, another 

SWEETWATER 

AUTHENTIC fabric for the back!

I just loved this little muggy rug...

*tweet*

You might find a theme here...

I found this cute fabric at my favorite quilt shop

 in Salado TX at

Christmas this year...

If you are ever in Salado...

Go see the girls over at 

The Sewing Basket

They will love you to pieces when you visit!

and finally...

My last little Muggie Rug...

I made this one for a friend of mine 

at my new job...

Funny story, but I replaced her when she left my last job...

and here we are again working together...

And you have heard about how Southerners drink 

LOTS OF SWEET TEA?

Nope.

TEXANS drink the BEST SWEET TEA!

and this little girl is a LEADER...

so...the Tea Mug Rug was 

SEW APPROPRIATE!

Do you have a favorite Mug Rug Pattern you have sewn?

Leave a comment and

I will put you in a drawing for a SWEET GIVEAWAY!!!!

Drawing will be Sunday, March 29th at 6 p.m. CST

Happy Thursday!

A vintage gift

 

While the rest of the country seams to be held hostage by snow...

Our neck of the south is just COLD...

Sitting by the fire I thought it just appropriate to pull out

a gift I received before Christmas...

 

 

I was gifted with six beautiful Dresden blocks all made with some

of the sweetest vintage fabric.

 

 

I love all the fabrics in these blocks...

 

 

The lady that gifted these to me had a very talented grandmother who

quilted all the time. In fact, she quilted so many quilts, that my friend had

more quilts than she knew what to do with.

Such a treat when she found these tucked into a drawer and thought of me.

I am indeed going to make my own quilt from these squares...

I so value the work of other quilters...especially those who did so

much beautiful handwork.

 

 

 

The vintagy goodness of these 15 inch squares is just charming...

I would sure love to hear from you about what color sashing I should use..

or backing...I want to showcase these lovelies and give them the honor

they deserve...

Ideas?

 

I hope your weekend was warm and full of free time for sewing!
