I'll be back later today!

Love,

 

Now where did my bingo card go? (And a giveaway!)

This giveaway is closed now, but thank you for your interest!

Excuse me, I'm searching for my card . . . even tho the four of us who are calling the words can't win a prize, it is a lot of fun to follow along and place a button or two!

(Muttering) I thought sure it was right here. No, maybe over by the fat quarters. Hmmm.  I think I just found a clue . . . Remember this?

At the time, I thought that Padsworth was designing a barn quilt block. Now look what I found in my notebook --- he was planning something special for May for Me!

(Can you see the drawing there?)

Ah, yes, my little green friend, I am on to your scheme . . .
He was sewing the basting stitches across the card as quick as a hoppy toad on an asphalt driveway:

So you have appropriated my bingo card to be your cape? Alright, hold still and I'll snap your picture:

What's that, Padsworth? 
Well yes, you are a frog of some renown.
And you say you are going to be a super hero?  Well, what will you fight to protect?

Patchwork, applique and the right to fearless free motion quilting!

Hey, I like the sound of that!  Now you just need a name --- Caped Crusader is taken. We need it to be just right for a special green frog like you. I'll have to think on it.


In the meantime, here are the bingo words for today, from Lilypadquilting.


  N--Berries (no specific berries)

  O--Snake

  O--Bird(s)

  N--Snowman(men)

  B--Watermelon

Be sure to stop in at the other three blogs (I hope you have them bookmarked by now! Grin) which are VroomansQuilts, HillbillyHandiworks, and CraftySewingandQuilting.

Now before you run off, leave me a comment telling me what you think Padsworth's superhero name should be . . . and you'll be entered into a drawing to receive this wonderful book from Martingale Publishing:

Remember Fast and Fun First Quilts? You can check out my review at this post. It's a super book, and if you would like to win, just be a follower (one comment) and tell me a super-hero-ish name for Padsworth (second comment) and you'll have two chances to win!
We'll leave this open til midnight on Sunday, May 6, and announce our winner the next day!


Good luck!


Love,

Playing with Power Pop

Remember a couple of days ago, I showed you my winnings from Brooke? Lovely large pieces of Power Pop!


I cut them into strips of varying widths, and I am sewing them together in a (sort of) random fashion. You know, kinda like when you are sewing string blocks . . . you reach into the tub or baggie and if you don't like the looks of what you get the first time, you dig in again! (Wink)


Well, I reached over to grab another strip and it tugged back!!

I dunno. Do you think he's hit the terrible twos early? (Grin)  He was having a blast playing in the Power Pop! Hey, I don't blame him --- there have been some lines of fabric that I would definitely like to play in!


Here is a peek at my project before I had to take a time out to deal with Padsworth:

Speaking of playing games, Padsworth just reminded me that it's time to call some Bingo words for you special peeps that are playing Bingo with us this May!


Here you go!

 B--Fairy

 O--Rose(s)

 B--Coat

 N--Fred

 N--Barn(s)

Be sure to go by and see Vrooman's Quilts, Crafty Sewing and Quilting, and Hillbilly Handiworks, to get the rest of your words for the day. And if you think you have a win, check out the Bingo page on Hillbilly Handiworks, to find out what you need to do to claim a prize!

Good luck! I'm off to play with Power Pop (and Padsworth) again!

I'm linking up today with Rebecca Lynne, at the Thursday Think Tank -- I'm thinking about how I'm going to free motion quilt this runner!  I'm also linking up with Thursday Favorite Things!
And, last but not least, I'm linking up with Marcia, over at the May for Me linky party!

Love,

Here are your words for Bingo for today!

Just a quick post today . . . working on a May for Me project and I hope to show it to you tomorrow!

    G--Candle(s)

    N--Giraffe

    N--Wheels

    G--Glove(s)

    O--Train(s)

Anybody got a "Bingo" yet? Just let Tonya know over at Hillbilly Handiworks . . . 

Be sure to check at Vrooman's Quilts, Marcia's Crafty Sewing and Quilting, and Hillbilly Handiworks blogs for your other words today!

One of our wonderful sponsors is having a super-duper sale . . . please click through from the sidebar to go and see Michele at the Quilt Kit Market. I'm so very sad that she is closing up her online store.  She has reduced everything from 30% to 50%, so you'll find some wonderful bargains there.

Love,

The Bingo Fun Begins!

Today is the first day of Bingo, in our May for Me extravaganza! All this month, we'll be encouraging you to take time for YOU --- even if it is just a few minutes . . . or maybe if you are lucky (and lock your sewing room door) you will get a whole hour of fun!

My partners and I will begin calling today, so I hope you registered your Bingo card at the linky party.  I know that 98 of you did!

So have your card at the ready, and some buttons to sew on, and I'll give you the list for today from Lilypadquilting. You'll need to tune in at all three of the other blogs to get the rest of the words for today, OK?

Remember, you stop here, and at Vrooman's Quilts, Hillbilly Handiworks, and at Marcia's Crafty Sewing & Quilting. 

Here we go!

N -- Checks

G -- Cucumber

B -- Pot of Gold or Gold

G -- Holly

B -- Present(s)

Now, check your card carefully, and sew a button on the square if you have any of those above. When we get a little further along, and someone hollers "Bingo!" they'll be asked to take a photo of their completed card to prove their score -- you don't want to find out you made a mistake and didn't really win one of those wonderful prizes, now, do you? I didn't think so. So check and double-check your cards with the words called on the blogs!

On another note, I received some lovely things in the mail last week, and I wanted to show you. Frances at One More Quilt had a giveaway, and I won this gorgeous home dec weight fabric!

Isn't it nice? I'm trying to decide whether to make a tablecloth and then find uses for the leftovers, or to make sturdy totes and embellish them (you know what a sucker I am for playing with 3D embellishments!).  Frances is incredibly generous -- there's four yards here! Woot!

Then, Brooke had a giveaway on her blog, SillyMamaQuilts, and I won these:

Oh, how I love those! I'm planning a tablerunner from them, if I can hide them from Elby . . . she loves blues and greens, so she'll snag them and use them for something if I'm not careful! (Grin)

Have fun with Bingo -- on your way, now! Go check out the other blogs and sew on some buttons if they call a word on your card (in the correct column, of course!).

Love,
