Well what have I been up to you ask.
I have had my dh cut me 5" squares so that I could continue with my
quilt that I started be fore my fall. I can do chain piecing.
But no cutting.
I'm working on a pattern from http://www.freckledwhimsy.com blog.
My wrist is still swollen , I work every 2 hours or so trying to bend it, working on my fingers and the palm of my hand doing strengthening exercises. I'm afraid this is going to be a long process.
But don't despair. Keep my chin up and I will conquer this. I am determined to get full motion. I have too. My x-stitch waits to be finished, quilts, rug hooking.My GO! I took it to the guild mtg . Had fun demonstrating it. Sew many girls are interested in it. I'm going to have some over to play and who knows what we will accomplish.
Maybe a quilt or two from this new book I just purchased.
Maybe a quilt or two from this new book I just purchased.
In the meantime, I think its time for an early Christmas giveaway.
How about a paper pieced snowman kit. I would love to hear the many ways that you could use this kit.
I put mine into a pillow last year.
The rules are simple.
You must be a follower of my blog to qualify for this giveaway.
New followers are welcome.
Have a great weekend.
Until next time, Linda

ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you enjoying some sewing time even with your exercises taking so much time.
I have the same book..also looking forward to putting one together. So much to do and so little time..lol.
Love the snowman kit. Would be a great wallhanging or the start to a winter quilt.
Chat soon..Judi B.
I'm your follower, from a little while now, I'd love to be entered in the giveaway, I have a HUGE crush on snowmen, I collect them, and I'd love to make it, I see him as a wall hanging in my door all dressed with country colors, yay!!!!! <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteI have been a follower of yours for awhile. I love snowmen and have some friend whol love them too. i think maybe a small winter quilt would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love the snowman! I would probably make it and give it as a gift to a dear friend who sends me all of her scraps for my Sewing Circle projects at churh. She loves snowmen and actually live somewhere that has that white stuff that falls out of the sky (unlike myself - I only get hail!). I have been wondering what those GO machines are like - I need to find somewhere that demos them to see what all it can do. Thanks for the inspiration! Karin in AZ
ReplyDeleteI would use the kit to make a snowman to go on a winter quilt for my sofa. The one now has a row of baskets with flowers. I think snow men would look great there for the winter since we seldom get snow her in Louisiana.
ReplyDeleteI'd make him (snowman) into a welcome wall hanging! Now I'm following
ReplyDeleteI am a follower. The snowman is very cute. It would be a great door hanger for the winter months.

ReplyDeleteOh, this is cute!!! I am a follower too!!! I'd love to maybe make a couple of pillows before Christmas!! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are feeling better and can do some quilting.
ReplyDeleteI think I would take the snowman and make it into a wall hanging. I have some pillows already. I have a perfect spot on the wall for him!
I am already a follower.
I'm a follower. I haven't paper pieced anything yet. That would be a fun project to try! (P.S. I have a giveaway on my blog ending tomorrow).
ReplyDeleteOh Linda, He's adorable! A welcoming winter wallhanging for my front hall for sure. So glad you are able to do some sewing - but take care! (I'm a follower)
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cute snowman! I would use it as a wall hanging! I have been a follwer!
ReplyDeleteThank you for a chance to win and thanks for taking the time for a giveaway! I hope your healing goes quickly!
Take care!
I could make a darling table runner, with a snowman on each end!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeletehope your hand continues to do well. I can't imagine how hard it must be for you to do your work properly.
Deanna :D
I have been a follower for some time now. I love the snowman! I prefer snowmen to traditional red and green Christmas items because they fit better into my decor, and they can stay on display longer! Please enter my name into your drawing.
ReplyDeletePick me! Pick me!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how to make the snowman in your kit, but if you can keep on sewing with your broken wrist, surely I could try and figure it out if I won!!!
Your husband is awesome to cut fabric for you while you're healing!!!
I am a follower! Hard to believe we are already talking about snowmen-yikes!
ReplyDeleteHi, I would like to enter! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteNice snowman kit! I am a follower and I enjoy your blog. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable snowman. I hope your wrist feels better soon. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDelete~Teresa :)
Oh, and I follow your blog.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI'm your follower. I'd use the snowman to decorate my living room. He'd be placed next to the chimney...
I like the snowman kit. I am not sure what I could use it for without looking at it properly. A table topper for Christmas? maybe.
ReplyDeleteI am already a follower. I have a collection of snowmen and It will get a place between them next Christmas time if I win! I love it!
ReplyDeleteHappy stitching, Cisca
I love the snowman and would love it to make for a seasonal wall hanging to put in our spare room where my cousin will be staying. She is from Australia so a bit of snowy goodness would be a novelty for her. I am a follower using google reader. Thanks. Hope your wrist starts getting better real soon. C

I am a follower of your blog. The snowman would find his way into a quilt, maybe with friends, according to his size. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteOh, best of luck on your healing process. It sounds like you are determined - mind over matter! And I would love to win the snowman kit. My Mom collects snowmen stuff and it would be lovely to give it to her for Christmas. Thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower. I think I would use the darling little guy as a wall hanging in the bedroom where my grandsons will be sleeping when they visit for Christmas - can't wait for their arrival!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love paper piecing!

I think if I won the giveaway that I would use it as the beginning of a door hanging. I have made several door sign hanging for the frontdoor. It would be great for welcoming friends and would work all winter long not just for the holidays. Exspecially considering winters are long and cold and full of snow here in Iowa.
ReplyDeleteGreat and cute giveaway. I'm a follower...grin.
ReplyDeleteBillie
I'm a follower! and I love to decorate with snowmen - I think I would center the snowman in a tablerunner.

ReplyDeleteI am a follower. I would make the snowman into a little table topper to put on a nightstand. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE snowmen! I have a snowman collection and they all come out to visit during the holidays (lots and lots and LOTS of snowmen!). I'd love to make this little guy. I think he'd make a wonderful pillow! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteA little wall hanging or throw would be cute. I'm a faithful follower :)

Take care of your wrists so that they heal soon. I know it isn't fun, but you don't want to do anything to make it worse or take longer to heal. Great time to watch quilt videos (e.g. The Quilt Show). And your new book looks yummy. I'm going to have to track down a copy, as I do so love scrappy quilts.
ReplyDeleteLove your snowman!

What a cute snowman....I think a pillow also or maybe a wallhanging. I am a follower and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice giveaway. I see a cushy pillow waiting to be made! I'm already a follower. Hope that use of your hand becomes easier - can empathize. Thanks. alternate email mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! I'm a new follower - heard about your blog from SewCalGal. I would give your happy snowman a mountain home with many other snowman friends! PS - Think about acupuncture for your wrist. It's not an instant cure, but it helped me avoid surgery when I had trigger finger a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I just found your blog and enjoyed reading. I'm so sorry about your wrist but it sounds like you're managing pretty well. I just bought a Go! cutter recently and my next template purchase will probably be the 5" square - those are wonderful for lots of things aren't they! It sounds as if we have several things in common - I've been married 46 years, have 3 children and 8 grandchildren and I do love lavender. :) I have two plants in my blower bed but they didn't do well this year - too dry here. blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteJust came across your blog and really enjoy the quilt you are working, i will become a follower of your blog and as for the snowman, He will be made for my den, i loves snowmans, i deorate my den in a snowman theme. Thanks and have a good night!
ReplyDeleteHi - I am a new follower. I am over here from the Painted Quilt. I would love to make a wall handing from it for my sister - I have her name for Christmas and she loves snowmen!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
Hope the hand starts feeling better!
Hi I'm a follower. I've got a little collection of snowmen and this would be a lovely backdrop for 'snowman corner' in the loungeroom at Christmas. Thanks for the chance to win such a lovely prize.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower and I do love paper piecing. The snowman is so cute!

Hi, have just discovered your blog (so many great blogs, etc., on the web -- so little time). Am not a fan of winter, but snowmen are some of those things that make the season bearable. And getting a whole kit is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI bunged up my left wrist last April, and am supposed to stay in a splint until January, when surgery is an option if Mother Nature hasn't come through! And after 7 months, doesn't seem like she's working very hard.
I'm sending you a separate email with info on a woman who not only started a quilt business after her DH retired, but also started a lavender farm!
I like the looks of that book...you'll have to let us see if there are any go friendly quilts in it.
ReplyDeleteI too love a friendly snowman to share my winter months with...would love to get to know him :)
