As for me, I'm working on writing a pattern for my WIP bags...and the zipper measurements are kind of kicking my tail at the moment. :P Here's hoping for a break through soon!
Happy Wednesday!

Liberty giveaway
I've been on-line friends with Anna for years and years. We met in real life way back in 2010 (!!!) at Quilt Market in Minneapolis. She is a gem and she takes gorgeous photos. Today, I'm happy to team up with her to bring you a really fun giveaway! A giveaway that will cheer up any cold, dark, dreary January day. At least that's the hope! :)
Anna recently started carrying Liberty of London fabrics in her shop. If you are unfamiliar with Liberty tana lawn, it is fabric of the highest quality. If I had only one word to describe it, it would be "fine". It's really, really lovely! I've worked with Liberty fabrics in the past, and even though they are fine, they are easy to work with. I made a cute little mini HST quilt that currently hangs in my hallway. I also made this little mini (tutorial included) that now lives at Mary's house. It's the kind of fabric that you use every last bit. Oh wait, I do that with most fabrics. Ha!
Anna's goal is to make Liberty more affordable for everyone. Thank you, Anna! If you are in the market for Liberty fabric, be sure to check out her shop. You can buy it by the yard (starting with a 1/4 yard) or in bundles.
Now...for the giveaway! If you would like a chance to win
a 10 piece bundle (each piece is 9" x 13") of Liberty of London tana lawn fabrics, please leave a comment on this post. In your comment, I'd love to hear what you are working on today. I will pick a giveaway winner in a few days!

Gorgeous fabrics! What a wonderful Giveaway :-)
I've been putting the binding on my 2yo nephew's big bed quilt - a full quilt of raw edge appliqué cars that's taken 3 months to finish - I could not be more pleased with it!!
I have a very small amount of liberty in hopes of one day making a quilt - thanks for a great giveaway!!
Does crochet count? I've just finished a crocheted toy for my grandson, a friend for his other crocheted toy I made for him last Christmas which goes everywhere with him. I've now started a crocheted throw to keep me warm in front of the TV at night.
Those designs are gorgeous. I bought a scrap pack of Liberty a while back. Still deciding what to make with them. It has to be something special.
Today I'm working on a scrappy trip around the world. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I have wanted to use/buy liberty fabrics for a while now, I love scrap quilts like you do so knew even though its expensive I would use every bit of it! thanks for telling us about Anna's shop and for the giveaway, it would be awesome to be able to start my collection so much sooner then I thought!

Today I am working on a cross stitch winter sampler from Alicia Paulson. Would love to get it done before winter is over. Love the Liberty fabric.
The Liberty fabric is beautiful! I am trying out some improvised log cabin blocks trying to use up some homespun. I'd much rather be sewing with those lovely florals!
Have a great day!

Making a quilt for my daughter for her birthday!
I am sewing top of the quilt (by hand, because my sewing machine and all my staff is at home and I am abroad). But the problem is, that I have to buy all the fabrics that I want to use, because I do not have my collection. So my work goes slowly. I'll finish it much quicker when I return home after two months.
Piecing some scraps into a disappearing 9 patch for my daughter's bed.

We just had popcorn ceilings removed, leaving us with gouged ceiling; now we have to have sheet rock and painting done. We are living in our den. All other rooms are empty, except for my sewing room which I set the sewing machine back up so I don''t lose my sanity!
Today I'm working on a Kalediscope quilt! I've never made one before, so I'm interested in seeing how it goes!
I love Liberty fabrics! I'm getting ready to make a baby quilt
With over a thousand commenters ahead of me, my odds of winning aren't looking very good... ;-) I'm currently working on an "Amish Baby" quilt for my cousin's first baby, due in April. And I have loved the Liberty fabrics seeing them online, but am nervous because I don't know what "lawn" means. The fabrics in this bundle would be awesome for the Dear Jane quilt that I'm planning to start after the Amish Baby, but do you think the Liberty Lawn prints are too lightweight to combine with other cotton fabrics in a quilt? Like, can I use them with Moda Bella Solid background fabric as long as I prewash/preshrink everything first?
If a winner, I pledge to use the fabric. Huge that. Wishing me luck.
Quilts...always quilts :) Thanks for the giveaway!
I'm working on quilting a large block half square triangle quilt that is a huge king size quilt. Trying out ruler work! All fun! Would to to win some Liberty fabric!

When you asked, last Wednesday, I was EPPing one-inch hexagons that I plan to appliqué for a wall hanging. Thanks for the chance to win. I've never seen Liberty in person, so it would be nice to touch it for real!
I was in the Liberty of London store some thirty years ago and the cottons felt like silk! Today I finished basting a signature block wedding quilt for a dear neighbor. Hope to start quilting it tomorrow.
Thank you for the opportunity I am working on a triangle quilt top
Hi, I never used Liberty fabrics before, actually never saw it. Thanks for sharing and for the giveaway. I see you have a huge following! I am working on some UFO's so that I can start some new things. I make a deal with myself to get at least two or three UFO's finished first before I am allowing myself to start anew.
I'm trying to figure out how to sew some long sashing strips very carefully along biased edges without stretching them out and making it ruffled. I don't know what I was thinking while I was piecing most of this, definitely not Quilting 101. But alas, this should be interesting. Thanks for a chance to win a sweet bundle of Liberty fabrics!
I'm working on a quilt for my great nephew who is due anytime soon.
My son's girlfriend just painted her room a light gray. I am making her a white rag quilt. Each square has a red/pink heart in the center. The hearts are a print fabric, some hearts, some softballs, some basketballs, things she loves.
