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!!!!!!

If you received our newsletter this morning you know we have new kits available.  Our new kits are so yummy we all want one, even me!  I would love to get a kit in the mail, open it up and be able to start on another quilt.  The thought of working slowly, without the pressure of a deadline just sounds delightful.

Here’s our ABC quilt kit and on the bottom of the package are 20 fat quarters of the prettiest Winsdor Lane fabrics ever.  :>)

Inside the ABC kit we’ve included a Chenille needle.  The wording on the quilt calls for 6 strands of embroidery floss and it’s not easy trying to get 6 strands through a regular embroidery needle.  The Chenille needle is easy to thread and still sharp enough for embroidery.  Without it you wouldn’t be happy and I can’t have that.

We’ll make this kit up in blue if you request it.  This quilt needs the Windsor Lane alphabet panel so make sure you order while we have the panels in stock.  I’ll have extra panels left over after we finish making kits and I’ll put them on the website soon.  It’d be smart to add one to your stash just in case!

We also have kits for Lambkins in pink or blue.

This quilt falls into the easy category and our kit makes it even easier!

If you’re not thinking about babies and have Christmas on your mind instead, our Snowballs kit is just the right thing!   Doesn’t it look like fun?

We’ll be making kits for Baby Cakes and Olivia Owl soon!  I’ll let you know when we have them ready.

Do you have great plans for this weekend?  My last quilt for market is finally at the quilter’s so now I just have patterns to write!  That’s my plan for the weekend, working on patterns in-between all the new shows I’ve taped to watch.

  Have a great weekend everyone!
