Honeysuckle Cottage

Another week, another giveaway...

Can you believe how quickly time goes by.  It really does seem to fly by.  I hope you are making every minute count.

In keeping with our Christmas in July sale, I thought a giveaway was in order.  You may have seen this gorgeous new design here.   It has just arrived here. I thought a giveaway might be in order.  I have three patterns to giveaway. If you would like this lovely sampler pattern in the mail to you, please leave a comment and share how you celebrate in July.  Maybe you have a Christmas in July celebration, maybe you have a birthday or anniversary celebration.  Maybe you just celebrate each day because you can.  I would love to hear about it. 

I will put the random number generator to work on Sunday night.  Thanks for stopping by... 

Sew much to tell..

Wow, what a weekend!!  For those that aren't aware, I went off to share Christmas in July at Nundle with Kerry Swain.  I shared the weekend with a fabulous group of woman.  The projects were full on, just gorgeous.  I laughed and laughed and then laughed some more, (no, not at the projects!!)  I had the pleasure of getting acquainted with some wonderful designers. Rosie is an absolute hoot.  (Just quietly I think Melly & Me named one of those gorgeous little owls, Hooty & Tweet, after Rosie.)  I also had the pleasure of laughing with Janelle Wind and Natalie Ross who made this divine hanging Santa.  My roomy was a fantastic lady, Leanne.  If you are ever in Walcha, NSW you must pop in and say hello, she runs 'The Lavender Patch', a lovely country store, with lots of bits and pieces, including stitching things.

How lucky am I?  I have bought home lots of goodies from Rosalie Quinlan Designs, including the original 'I Remember' quilt that was available as a BOM.  Simply delicious.  I am considering running it again in a different fabric range and slightly different colour way, maybe Sanctuary and some other yummy fabrics.  What do you think?  Along with that beautiful quilt, I managed to slip Gracie  and Dear Santa into my bag, too.  (Shhh, don't tell anyone, it's a secret.)  Mad Mozzie, Silly Bunny, Messenger Birdies and the gorgeous quilt Deck the Halls have also come for a holiday to Honeysuckle Cottage. Oh, and I have the pleasant company of Pocket & Floss for a while, too.

Here we are Monday again, and it would seem in sharing my weekend I have also taken you back to some much loved patterns.  I even got to fondle The Joy of Life.  Heavenly.  Have you fondled anything amazing lately?

Thanks for stopping by.  Remember a minute in your day might just touch the heart of another for the rest of their life.  x x x

ps If you would like to see what we made with Rosie, just click here.  This pretty angel will be in store soon.

Just a taste...

For all of you that have stopped by and said hi, thank you sew much.  Your comments have put a wonderful sense of warmth in my day.  A much needed sense of warmth because it is freezing here in NSW.   

Here is a taste of just one of the treats I will be putting in the mail.  It is the new book, Rainbow Cottage, from Lynette Anderson Designs.  It is simply gorgeous. 

As I said, this is just a taste.  I have some delicious surprises in store.  Keep leaving those comments, ladies.  I have a sewing machine and a quilt calling my name.  So, I am off to do some sewing.  I hope you have some stitching in your day...

ps  I just had a look over on Leanne's blog and Melly & Me.  Oh my goodness, more giveaways!!  And if you take a walk over to Wildcraft Farm you will find a tutorial for a fabulous wrist warmer and an Angel swap.  I love the land of blog...
