Run, don't walk, to this giveaway!

Remember this?

This is my Christmas wall-hanging, made from Jacquelynne Steves' "Oh, Holy Night" fabric line and panel!

Such cute critters!

And stars, and birds, and kids . . .

Would you like to win one of these panels? Plus a whole lot of other goodies? (Over $75 of goodies, in fact!)

Ok, I'll quit shouting, and tell you to click on this link!! Over at Jacquelynne's blog, The Noble Wife, is where you will find the giveaway.

Now, you will have to cooperate to get a chance to win --- she would like to hear some feedback from all of you special peeps who signed up to receive her newsletter, and to follow her blog.

She's planning some changes and wants to tailor her offerings to what all of you would like to see; so please hop on over there and check it out. Give her some feedback and you'll be entered to win!

Love,

My machine's new bestie!

I started to title this "my new best friend" but then I realized that Padsworth and DragonDrop would probably both get a little huffy about that . . . (wink)

So, this is my sewing machine's new bestie --- I love, love it, and I am wondering why it took me so long to get one of these!!

Yep, you guessed it; it is a quarter inch foot!!

This has taken all of the fussing, er, stomping, er, guesswork, uh, trial and error out of my piecing! Yay! Perfect quarter inch seams and perfect matches in my blocks!

I will stand up and be a witness --- you can quote me on it --- if you've had trouble keeping that quarter inch seam stitched correctly, you should get one of these!

Love,

La grenouille has arrived . . .

Imagine that said in a Claude Raines, Casablanca kind of voice, with a nice French accent, OK? 

La grenouille. The frog. 
He has arrived. N' est pas? Oui, oui!  Looooook!

Is he not adorable? He has that certain savoir faire, no? Yes!  That's because he was created by a lady who oozes charm and talent without even trying . . . (Grin)  She used to live in France, so that's why I'm channeling my inner Leslie Caron and trying to sound French! 
 

Padsworth and DragonDrop are so pleased to meet him!

   I'm so happy to have him -- he will be my companion as I go to the stores and make change. What a sweet reminder of a kind lady and a wonderful bloggy friendship!

"La grenouille, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship . . ."

Love,

Happy Thanksgiving!

From all of us here at Lilypadquilting, to all of you in blogland --- we hope that you enjoy a blessed Thanksgiving holiday!

We are so grateful for all of the friends we've made, and the joy that y'all bring our way . . . we hope that all of you are healthy, happy, warm, and loved.

Padsworth and DragonDrop put on pilgrim and Indian attire to have their portrait made.

  Looks like Padsworth is going to share his Thanksgiving with DragonDrop!

We'll be taking a little time off (and hopefully doing some sewing, so that we can show you some projects when we return!) and be back very soon!  We have some lovely Jacquelynne Steve's fabrics that we're working with.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We're linking up today with Katherine's Thursday Favorite Things hop -- because friends and family and counting our blessings are ALL on our list of favorite things!

Love,

Have I told you lately . . .

. . . how much I love my Accuquilt Go! Baby? (Wink) I bet you thought I was going to break out in song, didn't you?

I have had so much fun playing with my Go! Baby and dreaming up projects. Remember the Peppermint Popper tabletopper?

You can find the tutorial for that one right here at this link.

 This fab double pinwheel block was easy-peasy with my Accuquilt's help!

And here is the Roanoke Star tabletopper that I designed and created:

The tutorial for this Accuquilt project is here at this link.

Here is one of the holiday placemats that I put together, and below that is the bonus mugrug from the scraps of holiday fabrics:

All of those are shapes that I cut with my Go! Baby.
The reason that I'm making this trip down Lilypad memory lane is that Accuquilt is having a fabulous sales event -- I wanted to tell you about it, so you can take advantage of it!

The Accuquilt elves have cooked up some exciting Black Friday deals for us, and you can hop over there and check it out! All this week, leading up to Cyber Monday, you'll find super bargains and exciting new ideas there at the Accuquilt site. 

Shop there this week, and then you can scurry around at the malls and shops on Black Friday! (Grin) Me? I do my shopping from my mouse pad . . . Giggle!
Come on, DragonDrop, let's look for the perfect gift for Padsworth!
(He always wants to control the mouse . . . )

Love,
