12 Days of Christmas - Give Away Winner

The "12 Days of Christmas in July Blog Hop", hosted by Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict, is behind us, so now it is time for us to start our projects for Christmas ... we only have 6 months LOL!

One lucky person has a head start -- Vicki in MN, will be receiving the Quilted Barn Quilt I made for the Blog Hop and two Black Cat Quilt Patterns.

I have emailed our winner Vicki,  for her mailing address.  If I don't hear anything by August 1, 2018, I'll pull another name.  

Thanks to all who left a comment and visited.  If you make a "Quilted Barn Quilt" from my tutorial, or a quilt from any of my published patterns, please email me a picture or link to your blog  (address in profile) and I will share here on my blog.

Samantha Claire Finish

This quilt is mine!  With the first two "Samantha Claire's" traveling with Black Cat Creations, I really wanted to make one of my own.  I love to make little units as a "Leader/Enders" all year, so it came together quickly.  Perfect size to drape over my new bedroom lazy-boy chair.  

Pattern:  "Samantha Claire"

Size:  65" Square

Designed for Black Cat Creations

The real excitement -- I was able to use this fabric that I purchased about 20 years ago.  I only had 4 yards, so I kept it around until the perfect project came along -- one that would be mine to keep.  Looking closer, it was designed by THE Jean Wells! (c1995).  I am a big fan of both Jean and her daughter Valori Wells, so this was a nice surprise.

I finished the Red/Black/White "Samantha Claire" from a new pattern published by Black Cat Creations. More detail on the right side of the screen.

And, I finished quilting the little quilt above in time for delivery to a very sick friend.

I am linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times for her Design Wall Monday, again so glad to have something this week.

Trunk Show Frenzy

Can you believe, I did not take a picture of the Trunk Show display.  The Trunk Show was held during a Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler Blog Hop and of course, I had a good time.  My quilts will be at the Quilting Niche' for a while longer, so I will run back over there this weekend to snap a few pictures.

Above is Now What? Here is how it looked before I took it down off the design wall. ----- In blues, greens, yellows.  A total contrast to the Black, gold and white of the original.  

Pattern Name:  "Now What"?

Then, I started working on "Samantha Claire" in a smaller version.  Red is my favorite color, so I have enjoyed making this one.  I have a sewing marathon this weekend of catching up, so I will be posing all weekend.

Pattern Name:  "Samantha Claire" (named for one of my nieces"
