• One big party

    So by now you’re getting the idea of Pillow Talk.  It’s a bit like a giant sleepover with quilters! Laurie over at Minick and Simpson has my dream bead.  Did you see it?  Oh if only it were in pink!  Yesterday was  Minick & Simpson day on Moda Pillow Talk and they’re giving away a one of a kind Minick & Simpson pillow!  You can still enter to win, just hop over to their blog and leave a comment!  They are both animal lovers like I am!  Hmmm…wonder if they let their dogs sleep in bed with them? Today is Liesl’s day over at Oliver + S!  We both started…

  • Oliso on its way!

    Dear Mary in Texas, Oliso emailed to say your iron is on the way! Hugs, Anne P.S.  Your charm pack is also on the way.  Please wait for your Oliso to arrive before you iron it! If your name isn’t Mary and you don’t live in Texas, you can still have this iron!  You’ll just have to break down and buy one like I did.   Think of how much you’ve spent on fabric (or maybe you shouldn’t) and the iron will seem like pennies.  Email me if you buy one and let me know how you like it! Today on Moda Pillow Talk is the beautiful and talented Camille…

  • Fluff those pillows!

    Fluff those pillows please!    It’s day 9 of Moda Pillow Talk and it’s Kathy’s turn!   I had to share this picture with you.  I took it at Spring Market, 2010.  It’s Kathy Schmitz in her booth and look at the floor!  See the drawing at the bottom of the picture?  Go ahead and enlarge it so you can see it better. Our booth was close to Kathy’s and when I looked over at her booth she was drawing that design freehand on the floor of her booth!  I just couldn’t believe it.  She just drew away until it was finished and now of course I’m wishing I had a…

  • Who won the Oliso Iron?

    This beautiful yellow iron is coming to one of you thanks to Oliso!   Go ahead party away, invite friends over for dinner and set the table with your best tablecloth and napkins.  You don’t care because you’re the winner of this iron!  You’ll never mind ironing again when you use your new Oliso!  Bring on the cloth napkins, you’ll be looking for things to iron!  Oh you are going to love this iron! So, here we go are you ready?  Drum roll please!  Into the random number generator went so many numbers!  The amazing thing is at 6PM last evening, when I closed the contest we had exactly 950 comments! …

  • Moda Pillow Talk Day 7!

    Happy Monday every one!  It’s day seven of Pillow Talk and it’s Lynne’s turn over at Kansas Troubles!  I can’t wait to read her post!   She’s a tradition at Moda and in the world of quilting.  Can you imagine visiting her house?   I’d come home with a bit of the “prim” in my heart I’m sure.  She has a way of drawing you in with her colors and quilts! Have you entered to win all the giveaways from the Moda designers?  They are the nicest group of ladies and they love to share.  Some of you are going to win some great, great prizes! My grand-daughters were over for…

  • Are you following?

    Are you following along with the Moda designers Pillow Talk?  I’m having so much fun reading all the posts!  It’s a chance for you to win some wonderful prizes and learn something about each designer you might not know! Aneela is new to our group but I feel like I know her just from reading her blog.  You will too!  I bought 2 bundles of her Sherbet Pips for my grand-daughters because I fell in love with her fabric.  Something tells me I’m going to be buying her next line too! I’ve been a major fan of Blackbird for years haven’t you?  Did you know that we  both started making…
