Some Patchwork and Homespun for Free at Your Online Library

I bought mum a thermolactyl fleece blanket for Mother's Day. I wanted to put a little label on it and decided to use a small block.

I have been watching the Splendid Sampler from the side lines and saw this cute scrappy star by Corey Yoder and thought it would be perfect.

I spend a lot of time on my Doll Clothes blog and my other various themed blogs. See them listed in the side bar.

Did you know that Homespun magazine is available for free as an e-zine from your library online.

I love reading it on my tablet using the Zinnio app. Many of the articles, ads and projects have live links for convenient browsing.

You can also register for free on the Homespun web page and download the project patterns as PDFs for free. I have been collecting the Foxy Village blocks. I make a folder for each block and take screen shots of the instructions from the magazine to go with the pattern PDF.

Happy Quilting and Crafting,

Finished the Catnip Quilt

Just some photos of my cat quilt. I am so happy with how it looks.

I finished the bag.

I finished the quilt.

The back.

Ready to give.

I just wrote the label so it is not really picture worthy. It says the quilt is 90% cotton and 10% cat fur. Stumpy was there for the final stitches.

This quilt is for my daughter. I am going to give it to her when she visits for our family day on Good Friday.

Around the traps

Nothing like some good give aways. Some buttons up for grabs by visiting the Button Mad blog and The Painted Quilt. Button Mad links back to The Painted Quilt.

What about joining in with Quilt Class 101 at http://chasingcottons.blogspot.com/. There is a big giveaway on today, the first day. Rebecca will be sharing tutorials on a range of topics every Wednesday for about 12 weeks with give aways each week.

Cheryl over at Polka Dots and Rick Rack has decided to have a give away. Probably the result of spring fever :) Why not pop over to enter?

Seems like everyone is having give aways. I keep having to add things in. Jenny at All Sorts is giving you a chance to win her latest paper bunny dress up doll set.

The Homespun free web project is in now. Tea in the Garden

The felt spring bouquet at Wee Folk Art is lovely and the tutorial for roses and poppies is well done.

Good Luck and Happy Sewing,
Val
