Time to Think About Kits or My Next CQ Project 182/365

I started a new online store over at meylah.com.

They have a blog feature there and I used these pictures today:

Made me think I need to do some pillow and wall hanging kits. Or at the very least plan my next project. I am adding beads and buttons to my teal CQ blocks now. If I can keep up this pace I can finish this month.

I think I may have sold these little bundles. Wish me luck.

Every. Little. Bit. Helps.

Unloading on Ebay 30/365

Ebay offered me 100 free auction style listings. I have been very angry at their rising fees but free is a good price for me so I took this offer. I'll be listing more over the next week. I think you can use this link to see them all

Crazy Quilt Fabric Give Away 272/365

After a truly craptastic past few months, one spent entirely without a computer, I was forced to get finally got something done with my crazy quilt fabric stash and I would like to share it with you.

Behold my first official blog giveaway! Five of my new mini bundles, each containing 25 pieces of fancy fabrics with little to no duplications and two vintage crochet motifs. The fabric pieces range in size from about 4" x 7" to 2" x 3" with several sizes in between. These would be great for smaller projects. If the  giveaway goes good I will do the other sizes I have to offer.

All you have to do to win this time is leave a comment and make sure I have your email to notify you if you win. Winner will be drawn next Sunday.

The mini bundles will be available in my CrazyRebecca etsy shop.

Speaking of Crazy Rebecca here's the character my youngest son made for my first website...truly Crazy Rebecca

Another Crazy Week Ahead

I have a busy week ahead of me again. I am almost done with the batik autumn blocks from the fabrics Leslie gave me. Now I need to find a border fabric. Since I will only have one kit to sell it can be something exquisite and maybe somewhat pricey from Mill Outlet. When I get the sample blocks sewed together I will take the piece with me and preview borders on site.

Besides that I will be working on brown and pink blocks for my upcoming grand baby. I leave May 28 to go visit them for two weeks. I am looking forward to a long slow train ride reading, sewing, knitting and making new friends.

If I have any time left at all this week I'll be working on these oriental themed blocks which were also inspired by Leslie's stash she graciously threw my way. Thanks again!!!

More than One way to Skin a Cat

I decided the Eating-of-pictures that occurred Monday might actually be a blessing in that I now have several days worth of posts I can do by re-posting two pics at a time. (Of course I am assuming the pictures will actually show this time, which I won't know until I click the publish button)

So anyways..........the fabric bundles are the purple/silver I cut for my 2009 color forcast line and the blocks are the ones inspired by my friend Pat Enos.

I went hiking in Palmer Park with Vickie Coletta yesterday. I left the camera sitting on my cutting table after showing her my work. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! We are planning on hiking quite a bit this spring/summer so I hope I'll have pics next time.
