Who's the Lucky Winner?

So, Taylor (aka 'mini me') always has to ask what I'm doing...  That's what 6 year olds do....  I told her I was going to share some of my fabric so she really wanted to help. 

So, I let her...write some of your names, fold some paper,


 and draw a name....


And the winner of the Flea Market Fancy FQ set is......


sewiwasthinking!!!  Yay!  :)

Happy Sewing, Melissa!

Sorry for the delay....

I know I said that I would announce a winner for the Flea Market Fancy FQ set tonight... My daughter, Taylor is helping me with this, and she's not quite finished. So... I will announce a winner tomorrow. I promise!!! :)

I'm happy to say, I managed to get some sewing done this weekend. Check out these cute little wallets I made from Valori Well's. The pattern is called 'Little Wallet'. That's easy to remember....  :)

Giving Back

My first job out of college was at Rhino Records. What an amazing experience that was. It was the best job I've ever had. This company was very big on giving back. The week off of Christmas and New Years was paid time off as long as you completed 16 hours of community service. This ranged from volunteering at pet shelters, participating in walks / runs or spending time helping kids at boys & girls clubs.

I didn't know where to begin... There were several Rhino sponsored events on Saturdays, so I started there. My first event was such a great experience, I participated in almost every company sponsored event. By the the end of the year, I had completed 60 hours of community service! The time I spent giving back was so rewarding....

Remembering those times made me want to find a new way to give back. I remembered a women's shelter from those volunteering days and then it hit me! I can donate / make some quilts for these ladies and their children! An even better idea was to start a bee so we could make more quilts for these ladies. So that's what I'm doing here. If you'd like to join / be a part of making a difference, leave a comment or send me an email. :)
