Hi Friends
I know I haven't graced you with my presents here sense my little giveaway but.... I have been busy and then as luck would have it I got sick.....and still am. So I decided while I am hanging out on the couch and trying to cough my lungs up....well that was gross. I would share with you what little I have been doing this week.

I have a lot more time to post to Instagram or IG as we they call it. You are welcome to follow me there is a link on my side bar to you right. Or you can look me up I am: @mrs_sew_sew
over there.

Well as I have said I am a little under the weather this week so my animals really don't know why I am lounging on my couch all day so I have a lot of company.

Well my week started off with an unexpected hatch of quail 102 to be exact.

Made Builder 500 with A LOT of help from my team! Thanks Guys!

I did get to trim down all the HST to try and get my lay out done.

Here is my lay out maybe I will feel better tomorrow and can start the sewing together process.

Mean while I got an order from Fabric dot com of my new favorite fabric Country Girl and what do you know I ordered half a yard and JACKPOT I got the end of the bolt. That is the second time that has happened, I guess they feel sorry for me sense I order from them so much lol.

Then as luck would have it yesterday after returning home from my doctors appointment I checked my mail and my order from Superior Threads had arrived. I ordered this white thread and a package of titanium top stitch needles.

This is what it looks like in the dark. It is supposed to last up to 6 hours. We will see I have two special little boys that I plan to use this on their quilts. More on that later (lets just say I will be an instant aunt again) yeah can't wait. God is Good!

Well that is my week sorry I haven't been here a whole lot. It's just easier to do short write ups on my IG account. I spend more time on my tablet than my computer. I do have the blogger app on my tablet but I don't like the way it does the pictures. I use it for my "Verse for Sunday" posts. It is quicker for Sunday mornings.

Feel free to follow me on Instagram I would love to see what you are working on too via IG. Comment down below and tell me how to look you up.

And the Winner is....

And the winner is..... Jo

I used the very scientific method to get the winner.

Hey he's getting used to drawing a winner.

Jo was the first one to leave a comment on the giveaway post. You'll be happy to find out Jo also has a blog. HERE

I have emailed Jo and hope to hear from her soon.

I had a little and I say very little time to work on my other wall hanging. The "i heart you" pattern I talked about HERE

I'm in the middle of cutting all 258 squares down to the 2 1/2" they need to be.

The bottom two rows have been squared up so far. I might get to work a little this afternoon. (if I can stay awake....ugh time change)

I hope you all have a very productive week.

Thank you for all your support this week and your very kind comments. I did read and respond to all of them if you did not get an email from me please check your google settings that means you are a no-reply blogger.

Hugs and best stitches to you,

A New Quilt Finish

Hi Friends!
I know I have not been here very much and all I can say is I have been busy.

I have a new quilt that is finished but I had some wonderful help finishing it. You can read the first post about the top HERE

Here we are:

It was nice and sunny today so I could go out and take pictures.

This is a King size so I just put bleached muslin on the back.

I will make a new bed skirt using a tutorial I found on Pintrest.

As I said my Mom quilted it for me. She did a fantastic job. She did a simple X pattern across the quilt and then a meandering pattern on the boarder.

This is a summer quilt so I just put bleached muslin on the back. I used two jelly rolls for the front. This pattern is called Summer in the Park. You can see it HERE

In honor of getting this quilt finished I am having a giveaway here on my blog.

This is a book and ruler I bought about a year ago to make another sampler quilt but using jelly rolls. Well it has sat on my shelf and has yet to be used. I have decided to clean out some things I think I will never use. So this is one of them. You get this book and ruler together.

So THE RULES:

This giveaway will run one week. Ending (3/9/14)

1. You must be a follower of my blog.

It's easy to follow. You can follow me via: Google+, Bloglovin, Feedspot, Feedly

2. Leave me a comment and tell me how you follow and what your favorite quilt block is to make.

Sorry due to rising postal costs I can't ship outside the continental US.

Make sure I can get in touch with you via your post that you leave for me. I will notify the winner via email.

Have fun and remember to tell me what your favorite quilt block to make is.
