I stopped by Random.org to let them pick a winner for the lovely “S is for Stitch” book.  They do things in such “randomness”,  they make it easy to pick someone. I just put in the numbers, hit enter, and ta da a winner is declared!

Ellen M #194 who happened to comment:

“Such charming designs.  I’m getting back into embroidery after a very long time, so this would be a great inspiration.  Many thanks for the chance!”

Congratulations Ellen, I hope your stitching away and loving it very soon!  And thank you Kristyne for writing such a wonderful book!  Hats off to you!

If you received my newsletter this morning,  you hopefully saw my Jelly Bag tote pattern.  It’s made up in Windsor Lane fabric.  The Windsor Lane Junior Jelly Rolls come rolled with twenty beautiful, 2 1/2″ x 42″ fabrics and the Jelly Bag tote pattern calls for eighteen 2 1/2″ x 42″  beautiful fabrics.  Ok, the pattern didn’t really say “beautiful” fabrics but it’s kind of a no-brainer.

Since we have to make room for some new fabric, I’ve put all of Windsor Lane on sale at 25 % off on my website.  If you buy a Junior Jelly Roll and 1/2 yd of “beautiful” fabric for the lining, (try that Windsor Lane paisley) we’ll give you a free fat quarter for the pockets!

You’ll still need to buy the pattern,  and those 1 1/2″ covered buttons (yes, we sell those too).  And if I haven’t made this too complicated,  you could be sewing a Jelly Bag very soon.

I’m working away on a new block of the month so it’s busier than ever right now.  I’ll give you some sneak peeks before too long, but now it’s all in the prep stage:  prep the applique, pin it up, take it down, re-prep the applique and try again.

It’s the pre-market craziness!  Yeahhhhh!!!!!!
