Winner, Winner! Chicken Dinner!

I won the drawing for the We the People Swap III, so I got an extra pattern off of my wish list as a prize...exciting, eh?!?

So yesterday, there it was in the mail....my very own Weekender Bag pattern by Amy Butler! (Can I get a whoop, whoop!) A bit THANK YOU to the swap mama, Tracy! I can't wait til WTPS 2009 starts up:)



Now I need to whip up a Weekender and a Sophia and plan myself a little getaway;)

Swaps and Such

I recently participated in the We The People Swap (III) over at itching 2b stitching which was great fun! I recommend joining up if she hosts another round of them next year!

My partner was Hope and here is what I sent her.



Just kidding...she has received it so I can show you the goods:)



The swap requirements were 1 pattern and 1 charm pack from your partner's wish list. I sent her the Urban Chiks 1974 charm pack from Moda (which I have now decided I must have!) and the Cupcake Pincushion pattern by Sandi Henderson (also something I now must have...lol). We could throw in any little extras we wanted-it wasn't required, but I threw in a couple things. I added a couple 1930's repro fat quarters, a fabric covered button (covered by me-which is a fun little hobby), and a couple lengths of ribbon that match the charm squares.

I had a good time getting all of this stuff together and I mailed it way early!! Cha-ching...I am usually a late mailer. Score 1 for Heather, procrastination ZERO! I am trying to turn over a new leaf;)

BTW, I also finally got my Mini Quilt Swap goods into the mail...they are on their way to Spinster Handmade...can wait to see she does with them!

Fabric Finds

Everyone who reads my blog (all 6 of you...lol) knows I LOVE fabric. I just thought I would share some faves I have stumbled upon of late. You all have probably seen them before...I am not the most informed fabricaholic:)
