Sew Sweet

A wonderful bloggy friend knew I was going through a rough time this summer and she thought I needed something to cheer me up, thanks Sandra!!  Turns out she and another of my bloggy friends are friends too so she got my address from her and I received this pretty basket in the mail as a surprise. I am calling it my Sew Sweet basket :-)  It looks perfect with my rainbow wall quilt.



 I had those bags of scraps for scrappy runner projects just sitting on my counter taking up space and not looking all that pretty. So I put them in Sandra's basket so I would hide see them better and maybe use some of them. It worked as I made up these runners from the scraps.










But as you can see I have more scraps in there- for another style of scrappy runners, which I would love to get ready for fall shows, that remains to be seen, LOL

I was at Quilt Expo in Madison, WI last week with a good friend and I found me some goodies that just had to come home with me...well this is some of them at least, LOL  That one on the very left was my very first Layer cake that I have ever bought!!  And the best part was that at Nancy's Notions booth it was only $19.99-oh yeh that one had to come home with me-gorgeous batik's. What am I going to make you ask-hahaha I have no clue!!  The little wool felt snowman kit will be for me-I love snowmen!  And the snowman wall hanging pattern next to it I will whip up some day for a craft show.  OK I better end this post and get to makin' something :-)

Oh and this morning I got an email saying I won a Hello Darling jelly roll from 44th Street Fabrics and Cheryl at Meadow Mist Designs, what a great way to start a Tuesday! I have been eyeing me that fabric for a while and thought someday I will get me some-now I will have it!!

Wishing you a wonderful productive week.  I will be linking up with a few wonderful linky parties on my side bar.

    :-) Well reading this just put a big smile on my face, and I need it as today is a very sad day; no grandson. They left yesterday at 4:30 pm. Glad you found a use for the basket (too funny, as the twin to it I made is sitting on our coffee table, and was used to hold a 7-year-old's stuff, paper, pencil, Trouble game, pick-up-stix game, transformer guys, etc.) I love both snowman patterns, the red and aqua colour combination too! Interesting ruler I see there...and I have never bought a layer cake either, won one, still have yet to use it...
