I'm back and the Whazzit winner is....

Remember I said I would do a little shopping while attending the retreat in Colorado?  Well, I did and these items are ones I would like to share as the Whazzit Contest prize.



The Berry Patch is one of the favourite stores among the ladies who attend the retreat, so from there I have an assortment of ribbons, each approximately half a yard in length.

Next there is some YLI silk floss and a couple of brass coloured heart charms.

I also found these gorgeous velvet leaves at the Berry Patch so ten of them are going into the prize package.

The white vintage buttons came from a wonderful store in Colorado called The Woolen Shoppe and the pretty glass button came from The Berry Patch.

There is a package of baby blue Angelina to play with as well.

Hobby Lobby was where I found DMC Cotton Perle #5 in delicious variagated colours.

It was so much fun to read all your comments and especially the Whazzit guesses when I got back home a couple days ago.  I am unpacked again now and ready to announce the winner.  There was one correct guess the very first day and it was by ..... CRAZYQSIS!!  Congratulations!  Please get in touch with me by email and give me your mailing address and I'll send out your little prize package to you!  Thank you all for playing - it was great fun for me!  I hope you all enjoyed it too.

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...

BAS - Week 79 - Feather Stitch Variations

I have about the next twenty BAS stitches scheduled and by happy coincidence this week's BAS is a series of Feather Stitch variations which coincide with this week's TAST stitch if you are following.  So, we can hit two birds with one stone!  These hardly look like feather stitch but they are.  They are created by making the "v"'s of the feather stitch vertical on the inside.  Very simple to do but a different look to an old stitch.  The second variation is created by doing two feather stitches at a time on each side, again making sure the inside of your "v"s are vertical and line up as much as possible. Same thing again in this one except they are in series of three.  To me these have the look of stitching on old crazy quilts so they are nice to add to your stable of stitch variations.  Hope you  enjoy them and have fun!
