One week down and the livin's easy....

It's a rainy day here in South Florida today. A great day for sewing.......

Well,

as I mentioned last week I started my new job at Sew Worth It! I had a total blast! 

 It's a beautiful quilt shop down in Sarasota, Fl. I am so pleased to be around women with so much knowledge about quilting. We sell fabric, notions, embroidery products, and the best of all BABYLOCKS!! In which I am a little partial too ;) So this was a great week for me.... HOw was yours?

Well, I signed up for the 2012 Designer Mystery BOM from the Fat Quarter Shop. When I recieved my package a little goodie was in there as well as my first block. It was a mini charm pack of the Vintage Modern collection! So very sweet! Sp, although I have not made my first mystery block, I just had too play with my mini charm pack..... Here's what I came up with.....

 Sew much fun to make too!

This week I want to introduce you guys to a tutorial I will be putting up soon. I call it Broken Pane......

 Just a teaser right now...

Thanks for stopping by today!!!

***Also, one more thing. I decided to do a giveaway once a month, so check back to see when the next giveaway is!!

Barbara said " I would use it to make a quilt."

So now when you make that quilt I will showcase it on the blog!! ( I will send you an email shortly)

Thanks to you all!!!

****I did use Random.org, however, I could not figure out how to put the generator on this page, so the generator chose #21, that's Barbara!

Hey! This is my very first giveaway and I am so very excited!!

So, one of my favorite designers happens to be Tula Pink and Parisville is my favorite of her lines.

I started a Parisville Quilt that I am calling "Parisian Owl."

 As I was putting it together I thought about doing this contest. This fabric is so much fun to work with that I want to see how somebody else would us it. So now I am offering a contest to win A Fat Quarter Bundle of 5 Parisville fabric for your stash!!!

It's Ok to drool.....

There is a clincher though. You must show me how you used it! I would love to see another's point of view.

Ok, all you have to do is leave a comment on how you would use Parisville....

I will choose the winner Wednesday the 20th..... US only please...

The winner will be chosen using Random.com.

Ok, next.

This week was a weird one, but in a way I got good news. I was hired at a wonderful quilt shop!! It's called Sew Worth It ! It's a beautiful shop and has a ton of beautiful fabrics, classes, and they sell (my absolute favorite) BabyLocks!!!!

Well, all the gals that work their were the cutest aprons, well that means I wanted to make me one to wear on my first day, and here she is........

I absolutely love the way it came out!

And lastly...

I made a new mini quilt, take a look...

Parisville......

So, now to the Parisville. I have fallen in love with a designer as you all may know as Tula Pink.  I have also fallen in love with her Parisville collection. We have it at the shop and I cannot stay away from it.

So, hmm, I have decided to do a wall hanging using this fabric. I have been working on it, but I will not reveal the front until it's finished. I am soo proud of this one. Well, here's a teaser, the back of the quilt...........

So check back in a couple of days to see the finished result....

ohh, yes, I almost forgot...

 I will be doing a "Parisville" Fat Quarter GIVEAWAY next week. So keep your eyes peeled.
