Whazzit Contest! Day One


Okay, so I decided to have some fun and run a contest while I am away at the 3rd Annual CQI Retreat in Colorado!  Remember the old "whazzit" puzzles from years ago?  Each day a photo will be posted here showing a bit more of the above item or a different viewpoint.  You have to guess what it is!  Leave a comment - one guess a day only per person.  While I am away I won't be moderating the comments so you won't get to see any of the other guesses  You won't know if someone has guessed correctly until I come back and go through the comments and see who has the first correct answer so keep guessing.  You might be the first one to recognize it!  How well do you know your needlecrafts?  (Aha!  A hint already! Or is it?)

The CQI Retreat always involves some wonderful shopping opportunities so guess where the prize will be coming from?  Yes, you guessed that one right, I will be picking up some goodies while I am browsing the stitching stores in Colorado and that will be the prize.  Even I don't know what it will be yet!  So, have a close look and take a guess!

Looks like a zipper, but the teeth aren't deep enough to hold together.

Well, Kerry, I'll play. Are you using the sewing machine to sew a zipper?

Giveaway Day! (CLOSED)

I am very happy to be joining in the Giveaway Day through Sew, Momma, Sew .  I have chosen to share one of my finds from a shopping trip, or treasure hunts as I think of them.  This is an antique sewing box -  I could not resist it when I saw it for sale!  Were you able to guess the item from the sneak peek earlier in the week? The box itself is fairly small, 8 inchs X 6 inchs and 4 inches high (20 cm X 15 cm and 10 cm high).  From my research it is of Asian origin. Inside the sewing box is lined with hand-painted silk.  The inside of the lid features a neat little needlebook. In the bottom of the sewing box there are more beautiful hand-painted blossoms and an attached pincushion.  I hope you are as charmed by this little box as I was when I found it and that you will enter my giveaway.  I will be pleased to mail internationally so everyone is invited to enter. To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a...

BAS - Week 81 - Sequin Flower with Tutorial

This Build a Seam (BAS) Challenge is a little different - not exactly a stitch per se.  It is a technique for making sequin flowers which can be a wonderful addition to a seam treatment or motif. You will need cupped sequins for this - flat ones will not work properly - and some seed beads.  Mark your fabric with a center dot and five evenly spaced dots around the outside.  Bring your needle up through one of the dots on the outside and string on one sequin (cup upwards), a bead, another sequin and two more beads.  Take your needle down through the middle dot.  Carry on making another leg in the same way on each of the other four outside dots, always going down into the center dot which will be the middle of your flower. This is what you end up with after you have done all five legs - a nice little sequin flower!  You can add a bead or two more in the center of the flower if you wish.  You can also vary the number of legs depending on the size of t...

Giveaway! (Closed Midnight Monday!)

While packing my stash for the move to the lake I found duplicates of a couple books. What can I say? It must be really appealing to buy it twice! So, I have two books to giveaway. The first one is "45 Fine & Fanciful Hats to Knit". My knitting skills aren't up to this, I'm afraid - I wish they were because it is a gorgeous book! The second book for giveaway is "Tatting Doilies & Edgings", edited by Ruth Weiss. This is a good one because it has lots of edgings that can be tatted and used for crazy quilting. Of course, you could tat the doilies and edgings for anything you like! lol So, to enter the giveaway simply leave a comment with your email address and indicating which book you would like to go in the draw for. I'll draw names sometime on Monday. Thanks!
