Monday - Sewing School

Heya friends, It seems that Sewing School is beginning to arrive in stores, here and in the US so I thought what better way to nag you all into submission than to have a giveaway.

So I am, I am going to give away some sewing school stuff every day until Sunday ! There will be little giveaways and big giveaways. 

The first giveaway is four FQ's of the Scottie print. When I was a kid my Nan had a funny vinyl Scottie Dog that she used as a pin cushion. (Of course now I think that is truly weird- it would wreck your pins!) As a kid I love that strangely smelling little dog and when I was designing this range I just knew I had to include Scottie Dogs.

How cute are the little Scottie Overalls that Jane of Lil Pip Designs made for my booth !

My Nan didn't have a cactus pincushion but I will also include a Totally cactus pattern , cause I am nice like that ! 

There are no hoops to jump through , just leave a comment.

(and yes I know I haven't announced the horsey pattern winner yet... I am still cogitating on it )

See you tomorrow !

At the starting line

The whole big adventure starts in a couple of hours and I still have one quilt to finish binding. To be honest, I just ran out of puff. I might finish it on the booth - (it would be a good excuse to sit down).

This is Sewing School (with thanks to Rita for the great photo).

I have made a whole bunch of stuff with it and other people have made some freakingly amazing stuff with it. The suitcases are groaning !

if you want to see it in all it's glory you can pop over to the Ella Blue Website and take a peek.

I won't be blogging while I am away as I am not taking the appropriate devices but I will pop some pics on IG and FB and tell you all about when I get back.

I am going to pace myself and keep my peopler intact this time.

Madness revisited

OK, So I didn't make it back here as quickly as I thought but the excuse is a 100% cotton one.

Introducing Sewing School  (by Me)

This range will shown at Houston at the end of the month and it will be needles down and jump on a plane in exactly 12 sleeps.

 It is the same madness once again, staying up late, getting up early and the brain and explosion of deadlines and to-do's and maybe's. I am hoping for a less eventful trip this time and will be taking extra care of my people-er.

I will do my best to jump back in and share some photos but right now I am heading off to boil the kettle and get back to it.

Yes it is a madness, yes there must be a better way, and no, nobody has the time to think of it.
