Thankful for you! {giveaway}

Uncategorized

14 Nov
Ok, I promises. This is my last post about market.
Things have been quiet around here mostly because I bought into the Weekender craze and am trying to make one before holiday travels. (The countdown is on!)
Here’s my weekender progress.
 I LOVE it so far, and why yes my fingers do hurt. 
I *think* I finally figured out how to use Instagram. So follow me over there so we chat more! I am bryanhouse on Instagram. 
I’ve also been finishing up decorating my dining/sewing area and I hope to be able to share pictures with you soon. I love how my house is starting to feel like my home, ya know? 
Ok, so what you really want to know about is the giveaway I mentioned in the title. 
‘Tis true. I have a wee something for one of my readers. 
While at market I was able to obtain swag, buy some things and win prizes from the HMQG meetup. Exhibits A and B:

These are all phone pics because I couldn’t wait any longer
 to open up the packaged fabric and pet them. 

Won: a bag full of Thermoweb products,
which is awesome because I use that stuff all the time! 

So,  I thought I would share. Because basically you all are so cool and I love getting to know you all through blogging. I’m so thankful to all of you who read and comment in my little space.

Here’s the “prize pack”:

For you? 8″ by 10″ (ish) pieces of each of these fabrics from Madrona Road

For you?

Included are: 1) An Anna Maria booklet with a needlework pattern from her new book, 2) a mini charm pack of Architextures, 3) a $10 gift certificate from the Quilt Asylum (expires at the end of December), 4) a coupon to one of my guild mate’s etsy shop, Whimbrella’s Attic, and 5)  8″ by 10″ (ish, ya’ll, ish) cuts of each of the Madrona Road fabrics I received, which is the fabric featured in the MQG’s Winter 2012 Challenge.

So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, there are no strings attached to win. To enter, leave one comment. I will close the comments sometime on Monday, November 19th. The winner will be randomly picked and announced sometime on Wednesday. I will send out the package the following Monday, the 26th.

And again thank you for reading my blog!

    Hello, Becca! I just found you, fellow Weekender! And then added you to my Reader and have been catching up on your postings. I love your bag! And I am beyond envious that you went to Market!!

I think as quilters, we sometimes get really wrapp I think as quilters, we sometimes get really wrapped up in a project or wanting to finish by a certain deadline, that we forget to just play. 🙌

Triangle blocks are especially fun for playing with! 

Because the same exact blocks can look completely different depending on how you arrange them.

All of a sudden, you’re not just following a pattern anymore, you’re creating something unique. 🪄

And I think that’s where a lot of the joy in quilting lives.

Not in getting it “right” or making it perfect, but in letting yourself be curious. 

Letting yourself try something, change it, try something else, and be a little playful instead of precise.

Some of my favorite quilts didn’t come from a perfectly planned layout… 👇

They came from standing at the wall, thinking, “Wait… what if I try it like this instead?” 👀

So if you have a few triangle blocks sitting nearby, take a little time to play with them and see what kind of pattern they end up in. 

Comment ‘TRIANGLE’ if you want to take my free class where I teach you how to make a modern triangle, and give you a block pattern to start sewing. 💕

This time of year in the sewing room is always so This time of year in the sewing room is always so lovely. 

We FINALLY get to have the windows open, the world outside is getting colorful again, and the extra daylight is a big bonus. 

This is my recipe for a PERFECT April sewing day...

✨ Self care: plan meals/snacks for eating right & getting your exercise (booooooo! I know, I know.) Maybe a fun wee treat tho!?

✨ Entertainment: if it’s just you, get your show/ sporting event/ audible, etc. Or if you’re with your quilty buds, you know what to do! Sew, gab, laugh!

✨ Something you’re excited to sew: latest bingeable project at the ready!? Latest fabric stack that arrived in the post? Or...finally get that WIP d.u.n!

✨ Essential responsibilities taken care of: feed the dog, respond to that time-sensitive email, dinner for the fam? Take care of what you must get done so you can check out more completely.

Finally, set a timer for your hard stop time.

I set my alarm for when I need to pick up my kiddos from school. That way, I can get carried away by my creativity and indulge in “me” time!

Shut the laptop, check out, it’s sew time! 🧵 Everything else on your to-do list can wait. It is time for you!

What are you working on for a perfect April sewing day? ⬇️

If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s exactly what I’d do: ⬇️

👉 Find a community of quilters to connect with, learn from, and grow with. People who cheer you on, celebrate your blocks, and make you want to keep going!!! 

👉 Make it easier on yourself with freezer paper piecing. This technique completely changed my life. I wanted to give up on quilting altogether at one point before I found freezer paper piecing. 

It’s not that you don’t finish quilts…

It’s that you don’t have the right support or the right process yet. 🧵✨ Comment ‘FREE’ to take my free class, learn the freezer paper piecing technique, and get invited to join an amazing community. 💕

Sometimes, a few hours (or days) in the sewing room just makes it all alright. 🙌

One thing that will NEVER get old with freezer paper piecing... ⬇️

The number of blocks I can sew from just ONE foundation! 🙌

It always amazes me, and it’s one of my favorite things about the technique. 

I save so much time not having to make a new foundation for every single block, and that’s not to mention the time saved from not having to rip the paper bits of those foundations out of the seams. ✨

I’m hosting a free class where I teach you this technique, and give you a modern triangle block pattern to start sewing!
