Market Day

Hello everyone,

I finally had my first market day, how exciting!  Jessica from Scrappy n Happy was kind enough to come and look after the stall for me as I was next door doing my ENJO stall.   The North Lakes Market had a big launch day yesterday.  While it was very windy (as per normal) it was a lot of fun for everyone including the stall holders as the entertainment and children getting their faces painted was quite amusing.

The bright colors attracted a lot of kids.  Do you see my new T Towel on the right?  I am really pleased with this and will put a better picture up when I get some decent light.

MooMummy who won the give away has not contacted me with her details so if I don't hear from MooMummy by the 20th of April EST I will redraw the give away on the Thursday 21st April.

I will have more exciting news to share later in the week. So until then have a good week.

Regards,
Debbie

Look at this

Samelia's Mum is "Sharing the Love"  and giving away some lovely material and buttons.  It is so nice that everyone is being so generous and sharing.

Check this out

Hi all,

Just a quick message.  Check out Quilting Gallery for some fantastic buttons which they are giving away.  I have seen some of these before and wondered where they came from.  Such a nice story too and just goes to show what you can do for the community.

Must rush should be getting ready for work but this just caught my eye.

Debbie.

and the WINNER is.............

Hello everyone,

My assistant did the draw and the WINNER is


MooMoommy! 
















If you can email me your address to dfowkes@powerup.com.au I will mail your package out.

Thank you all for entering my giveaway and leaving lovely comments.  MooMoommy I would love to see what you make from the 3 pieces of dyed fabric and the 4 Round Car blocks. I am thinking that the new grandchild will be getting a lovely present!

For those of you that didn't win, sorry but I do sell the Car Blocks in packs of 3 (colours of your choice ) for AU$12.95 and the fabric is AU$6.00 (380mm x 545mm). Postage will be extra depending on where you live but in Australia it normally costs AU$1.20. Did you notice the quilt the giveaway is sitting on? It is made using my Square Car blocks and has my stripy material around the block.  I love the way they are so bright.

Well off to work on those space blocks, can't wait to print them and show you all.

Happy sewing
Debbie

The Hiatis is over ..... GIVEAWAY

Hi everyone,


It has been some time since I last blogged, October in fact! Illness and other problems have been keeping me away but we are back on track now.

My SIL Jessica from Scrappy n Happy has donated a quilt that she made out of my printed blocks and some of the dyed material to Quilts for Queensland. It was set up so they could give a quilt to some of the people that lost everything in the floods. Jessica has done a fabulous job. Check her blog out for more pictures as this is only the back!

To celebrate my return to the “blogging world” I have decided to do a giveaway of some of my hand printed blocks and dyed material.

4 of my cute Round Car Blocks each 7”x7”

3 pieces of my hand dyed material in Green, Yellow/Orange & Blue each 15” x 24 ½”

So somebody will be getting $32.00 worth of hand printed product for FREE!

To enter you need to be one of my followers and leave a comment. I will be picking the winner randomly on Wednesday 16th of March 2011.

You can purchase too but if you are in the draw for the giveaway you might just get them for free. If you are interested in making Scrappy n Happy’s quilt you can contact Jessica and she will be happy to give you some information.

I am busy drawing up my space range, lots of stars, planets & a rocket or two. So can’t wait to start printing those. There are a few more things I am thinking about but there are just not enough hours in the day.  Will be busy at the sewing machine this weekend so may have something to show next week.

I look forward to hearing from you all. Remember you have to be in it to win it!

Regards,

Debbie

This does not happen very often!

 Hi all,

Here are the latest photo's or our new dog who is now called Duki.  Trust me he is not this quite most of the time but how cute does he look.  The word NO has featured in the house over the last week and he is starting to get it.  So tonight he has been very well behaved although he was extremely tired as you can see.  Funny we are extremely tired too.  How long does the puppy stage last?!  At least he has not done too much damage yet but I am very sure if he was in the house by himself it would be trashed!

Time for bed,
Catch you all next post
Deb.

Life changes

Hi all,

Well life has been a bit out of control for a few months, partly because of my new job and our Chewy finally had to go to sleep after 14 years and it has made a big impact on our lives which we did not expect.

But......

today this little rascal (on the right) called Marmaduke arrived.  He is a 4 month old border collie with a lot of energy and it was really hard to get this photo because he has the attention span of a flea as the saying goes.  There is going to be a lot of training not sure if we will be doing it or he will be doing it on us.  We were going to shorten his name to Marty but I think he might be more of a Duke!

So life goes on...... can't wait to get back into the sewing and Scappy n Happy has really inspired me to make some of my own coasters.  I think it is a fabulous idea to make mini quilts as there really is not enough time to make everything we want.

Until next post hope you all stay well.

Debbie
