• We Have Winners!

    Wow!   Did you find all those letters and now you’re ready to make an alphabet quilt?  I hope you’ve at least saved them to your computer or printed them out, because chances are someday you’ll want them.  If you’re like me, you’ll spend days looking for where you stashed them, and of course you won’t be able to find them.  CAREFULLY put them away where you won’t forget, then tie a string around your finger.   :>) Today we’re announcing winners on our blogs, so be sure and hop over and visit each designer.  Someone’s going to get lucky and it could be you!  Here’s the blog list: FEBRUARY 17… American…

  • Cotton Candy

    Look what I bought for Valentines Day! A pink fluffy dog bed.  I just couldn’t help myself! I just hope I don’t have to end up buying two; one for Chelsea and one for Milkshake.  My studio could start looking like a cotton candy store! Anne :>)
