Charming Travelers

Long time no blog!  I've been busy sewing and have lots to share soon!

A few weeks ago (I'm behind!) I won the Charming Travelers packet from Dana at Old Red Barn Co.  The Charming Travelers is a traveling charm swap that Diane @ From Blank Pages started.  It's a packet of charm squares that is traveling it's way across the country (or the world).  When it stops at your house you pull out the charms you want to add to your stash and then replace them with some new ones!  You can read all about it and see where the packets have been so far here.

I sorted through for the low volume charms.  I'm lacking those in my stash and they'll be fun to add to the charms I'm getting from a low volume swap I'm in.  Here's what I took!

 

 

Here's what I added in!

 

 



And here's a sampling of what is in the packet!

 

 

Want to play along?!  I have the US Packet so only US participants please.  There is an international packet so watch the Charming Travelers page to see how to win that packet.

 

One entry per person - just leave me a comment sharing your favorite holiday movie, song or tradition!  Mine are White Christmas (movie), Carol of the Bells (song) and going to cut down our Christmas Tree :)  I'll pick a winner Friday afternoon at 3:00ET.

The 100 Day Hustle - Half Way Point!

Wow! I cannot believe that there are only 50 days left in 2012!  Where has this year gone?

50 Days left means that it's time to check-in for The 100 Day Hustle.

Here's my progress so far (you can find my original list here):

1. Leaf Quilt - Done!

2. Finish the T-Shirt Quilt - Done!

3. Quilt for The Hubs - Started working on it and have a few blocks done!

4) On a Whim Quilt - I put all of the blocks together now it just needs to be made into a top!

5) Sew.Happy.Quilt QAL Quilt - No, but it's the first quilt I'm quilting when the longarm comes next week!

6) Baby Quilt - I actually need to make two now.  I have one planned and the top for the other almost done!

7) Swoon - Nothing yet - I really want to get this one done though!

8) Double Wedding Ring - I finished all of my arcs!

9) Christmas Quilt - I bought a Dear Mr. Claus FQ Bundle so now I just need to make something!

10) Small Gifts - I have a few ideas but nothing yet


How are you doing with your list?!  Write up a check-in post and link up here.

Giveaway!

As I mentioned yesterday, this little blog of mine now has over 100 followers!  Something I never thought would happen but am very appreciative of.  I love having this space to use for sharing but also as a way to meet new people! 

As a way to say thank you for stopping by, reading what I have to say, and tolerating my instagram and phone pictures since I hate my camera, I'm going to be giving away some fabric!

The main event is this fat eight bundle of awesome orange fabrics I bought from Fresh Squeezed Fabrics.  But this alone won't fill a big envelope so I'll be tucking some more goodies in there from my stash!

You have two chances to win:

1) Leave a comment - Share what your favorite quilt pattern or fabric line is.

2) Be a Follower - Since we're celebrating followers, all followers get an extra entry.  Just leave a comment to let me know!

I'll pick a winner on Tuesday September 4th at 10:00EDT.


Thank you again and have a wonderful holiday weekend!!!
