CONGRATULATIONS TO....

I've sent you an email, so once I get an address I'll

be mailing you the fat quarters (the lizard won't be coming.)

Mini Charms In The Making

I bought a variety package of Moda's mini charm packs from Jane at Jane's Fabrics and Quilts, but have just been staring at them (they really are cute!) until I could think of what I wanted to do with them.

I finally grabbed one mini charm pack out of the pile and just started sewing. 

Okay, I moved them around and around and around....etc., until I

figured out what I would do with them. There's only about 40

squares to a package, so it definitely doesn't make a full size

quilt or anything unless you add some fabric. 

I've only recently ventured into using white in quilts and decided

to use lots of white in this little baby (or maybe Spring?) quilt or

wall hanging thing. I'm winging it as I go along, but will

have to decide eventually what I'll be doing with it.

To be continued.....

Have you made anything with those cute mini charms?

It's All About Me, Me, Me....My Day!

Amy Bradley (you can find her blog HERE) created

a fun little character for us to get creative with...

Thanks, Amy!

Me, Me, Me
(you can find my blog...oh, uh...you are already HERE)
took that fun little character and made this
sewing machine cover. I started with a pattern,

really I did, but somehow I veered off to do my own thing....
I should have stuck with the pattern. LOL!

I made ME into a matching pin cushion (though my chest size is definitely
not as large as this lady's.)  THANK GOODNESS there was 
no glue gun involved in the making of this pin cushion!

Now off you go to see these amazing bloggers who will

be showing you what

  They made:

Hugs And Kisses To You From Me - My Day!

I just love all the hugs and kisses going on with

this blog hop. It's really getting me in the spirit

to celebrate Valentine's Day.

I've been missing my blog and all the blogs I follow because I've been sharing the love

with my sisters the last five days while we had a sister vacation in Las Vegas.

You'll get no details from me since "What Happens In Vegas, Stays In Vegas!"

Actually, there wasn't much excitement going on with us

old ladies, but we did have a great time eating, gambling,

and just catching up on sister stuff.

This is my Hugs and Kisses project, a small quilt with a sweet Valentine girl 

designed by Madame Samm (I just love her--the girl AND Madame Samm!) 

My quilt was inspired by a quilt I found at Richocet and Away! Mine's a little

different, but I loved what she did with her pattern.

THEN...

With my posting day quickly approaching, my sister sacrificed some of her party time 

out on the LV Strip to show me how to use the ruffler that I bought ages ago 

for my sewing machine, but could never figure out.

I love it and will certainly be using it again sometime.

Thanks, Linda!

Thanks to Jane for being the hostess and

of course, thanks to Madame Samm for

the inspiring idea to share the love.

There's a giveaway, too!

$20 from here

(that Jane lady is EVERYWHERE):

She Followed (AGAIN) And Won!

Due to my moment of confusion,

the second winner of my Follower's giveaway is:

Daryl of
Patchouli Moon Studio

She wins a charm pack, too!

I loved all your funny comments about my "moment"
and wish I could send all of you something. Thank you for making
my blog a fun place for me to hang out!

I've Lost IT...Really I Have!

I just announced the winner of my Follower's Giveaway. Yay!

Uh....wait! 

BIG WHOOPS HERE!

I wasn't supposed to have it end until 

TOMORROW at 6 p.m.

GEEZ! It has been a little crazy around my house lately,

but I didn't think I was that absent minded.

I guess I am.

Here is what it says in my rules:

"The Follower's Giveaway will end on February 7th at 6 p.m. PST"

See, it distinctly says "February 7th", which

is tomorrow, so I've clearly lost any small bit 

of my senior brain that was left.

(Vickie still wins the charm pack)

Hmmm....to fix this silly mistake you can leave another comment

(if you want to) on my Follower's Giveaway post

HERE.

This time just say something like, "I came back" or "You've lost it for sure!"

or something really short so I know you're

back for the SECOND ROUND of the Follower's Giveaway.

All of those other entries/comments will be thrown back in the pot, too.

I'll think of SOMETHING to send the second winner.

It will FOR SURE, ABSOLUTELY, end tomorrow,

 February 7th, at 6 p.m......hopefully.

She Followed...She Won!

Vickie from

More Stars In Comanche

has won my

Follower's Giveaway.

Congratulations, Vickie!

Follow, Follow The Road To A Giveaway!

Here's the same old story on why I have a Follower's Giveaway:

Way back in March 2008 I started my blog, Just Let Me Quilt, to

have a place to keep track of the few-and-far-between sewing projects I created.

I had some loyal family members and friends who felt sorry for me so they

FOLLOWED ME.

I quickly learned that FOLLOWERS motivated me.

Being a FOLLOWER has never been a requirement to enter my 

usual BLOG HOP GIVEAWAYS.....

....BUT

it is a requirement to be a FOLLOWER if you want to enter my 

FOLLOWER'S GIVEAWAY.

I am so grateful to the few people who want to come back 

to visit me and I know that if they are following me, 

they will know about this extra little giveaway via their 

email, blogger dashboard, or Google Reader. 

This giveaway is my way of saying,

"THANK YOU"

 for coming back.

The Giveaway....

One Charm Pack of

Moda's Towne Square Quilts

All you have to do is:

Be a FOLLOWER (by email counts.)

(make sure you let me know if you follow by email since your

little picture won't show up in my Follower box.)

Leave one very short and sweet comment

Only one entry per person.

The Follower's Giveaway will end on February 7th at 6 p.m. PST

(comments left after that time won't count)

Make sure I have your email address or you can't win!

I'll ship Internationally.
