Let The Brown Bag Voting Begin On My Dresden

I took on the Brown Bag Special challenge at Quilted Works in March and this week our projects

had to be turned in for voting on their Facebook page. There are some really amazing creations

being shown and all they ask is for a "Like" on three of your favorite choices. Voting ends Friday.

I'm #4, so if you like it please click "Like" HERE.

There's lots of other great choices on the Quilted Works Facebook page HERE so check them out.

My Brown Bag Sunburst Dresden

A while back I took on the challenge from Quilted Works to buy one of their Brown Bag Specials

which held two unknown fat quarters. Once opened, I couldn't exchange it for another bag if I didn't

like the fabrics and I had to make something using both those fat quarters. Yikes! 

The fabrics were cute, but they weren't what I would normally pick. What a challenge!

With the sun slowly setting in the West, I took this picture of what I created.

I loved how it turned out!

I used the Sunburst Dresden method by Jenny Doan (but with different rulers than she used) and

the one-seam method of making a flying geese, I had such fun making this 45" x 45" quilt.

Thanks, Quilted Works, for this challenge!

What's In My Little Brown Bag

It was suggested by another sweet bloggy lady that I probably needed to do a little retail shopping

to get my energy back after hanging out with those busy, busy Monkey Boys the last few weeks. 

Sounds good to me!

It had been a while since I'd seen my favorite ladies at Quilted Works, so that's where I headed to 

pick out a giveaway for my Tree Bird blog hop post on Monday and see what's new in their fabrics.

(Don't forget to come back on Monday to see what I picked out for my giveaway!)

I love that store and those ladies gave me just the pick-up I needed!

They also talked me into picking up a little brown bag for $5.

This little bag holds two fat quarters and I have to make something with them.

Hmmmm.....I have to really get some creativeness going in this befuddled and foggy brain!

The rules say I can "purchase more than one" so I may have to sacrifice and go back for more.
