Part 1 Starts soon.... The story of 3 contests/sew alongs!

The idea of what i'm going to do. I don't want to "leak" what im going to be creating with this wicked adorable fabrics but it has to do with coffee...

I was going to use ONLY text fabrics in my block but it will be extremely hard to sway away from the beans fabric for my blocks design. Haven't you heard??? Amy over at During Quiet Time  is having a contest and it will be FANTASTIC to see other ladies/gents 12 inch blocks. Swing over to find out more information and how you can partake in this fun!!
I have sewing projects galore lately, hardley enough time to start on one and finish another in a day..so i'm leaving that up for this weekend. My fav. girlfriend wants me to make her a bag from my design...... similar in style to this....

I don't have a name for my pattern,  I think I really need to think about that ... ;-) Head over to Sew Sweetness for Purse Palooza which ends the 11th of July! I have made 4 bags so far. Want to see the purses some very talanted gals have created??? Click here to visit the Flicker Groups Photos WHEW!

and the last sewing shindig i've been involved with for I think 14 weeks now? ive lost track is the Zakka Sew Along over at  LR Stitched  If you want to jump in you will need the Zakka Style Book Found here  Lots of great prizes at all of these places. I also highly recommend following there bloggies even if you do not sew..maybe it will inspire you to do something new and fun!

Have a great and safe weekend ya'll! 

Texting while doing what now?

I am over joyed to have found some fantastic prints in text for The texting while sewing contest over at During Quiet Time. Amy is a fantastic sewer and im thrilled to be able to do this contest! to expand my love of sewing..and now quilting. My first ever quilt..The Zakka Quilt in the Design Collective Zakka Style book by Rashida Coleman-Hale .....
was a little "tough" for me..even though I can look at somthing and sew it like I had invented the idea..and most I do for myself..as in my bags.......

Anyways back on track.......... I have so much fabric and i'm shocked I didn't already have some stash with text... after re-reading the very few rules to this contest I feel silly. Because I bought ONLY all texts for the 12 inch block...and thats what i'm going to use..it will be challanging but, I think I will have a lot of fun with it and hopefully be pretty unique in that sence that maybe some ladies will go by the examples and use other prints too. I didn't get prints that have objects in them except one with coffee beans and lines. ... apparently Instagram hasn't uploaded my photo yet or i'd share it..but they are super duper cute and im really excited needless to say. I have a design in my head and now just needs to DO IT.. :)

well anyhoot...i've got to run..work calls..
