I can't show you the prize yet, but take my word for it, it's a good one!

So bookmark the SewMamaSew blog and start hopping around on Monday -- and don't forget to stop in here at the Lilypad, OK?



Our winners for the Aurifil thread giveaway were Agnes Bullock, Gene Black, and Mary Mack! Congratulations to all! I'll be sending an email to ask for your shipping info! (Yeah, I know, I usually show you the random number generator thingie and all that....but life happens when you are trying to write a blog post, and I lost the images!)
Thank you to everyone who entered!

Love,

Swoon block number 4

I know my friends in the Bestie Quilt Along have probably given up on me, but I did manage to finish another block!

Pardon the cruddy indoor lighting, if you will:

And here is a close up:

The colors are much nicer than that, but with buckets of rain coming down I had to photograph inside!

Quilt on, dear Lilypadquilters!

Love,

Colors to dream on

God works in miraculous ways, doesn't He? I'm reminded of that every spring, when plants and flowers are renewed and blooming.

The colors we see are inspiring; colors to dream on.

Purples and touches of red . . .

 

Blues . . .

Lavender . . .
 

 Gorgeous mixes of greenery, blooms, and the warm colors of the bricks . . .

Hope springtime has arrived where you are, too!

Love,

Hi everybody!

Padsworth here to ask if you are getting ready for the Pets On Quilts show for 2013?

It'll be here before you know it! In August!

Lots of you Lilypadquilters entered precious pups and cute kitties (and hedgehogs, and horses) in the competition last year, and we are hoping for an even bigger and better show this year!

For those of you that are new here at the Lilypad, the Pets on Quilts Show is all about getting your favorite furry friend to pose for you with a quilt you've made . . .on the quilt, under the quilt, beside the quilt, well, you get the idea!

You can also enter a quilt with an animal or pet theme, if you can't get your furbaby to cooperate with the photo shoot!

We have awesome sponsors, and super prizes are up for grabs. You can vote for People's Choice Awards in several categories, and there are random prize drawings, too.

New this year is the addition of the Padsworth Project -- an effort to help dogs and cats be adopted into loving forever homes. We posted a while back about how beds and blankies in the shelters and rescue facilities would help them rest, recuperate, and present themselves better to potential owners. We will be posting some tutorials and resources soon to help you get started -- each time you make a pet bed or blankie and post a picture on the Padsworth's Project page (don't you love alliteration? It just makes my froggie day!) you will receive TWO extra entries into the prize drawings!

We're excited about this project, and we hope that you will help by spreading the word, and by making beds and blankies!

More information on the project soon!

Love,
