Man, where is the summer going? I seriously can't believe it's July already. Seems like just yesterday that Feb was taking forever - I swear Feb is the LONGEST month :)
Last week I went to IN to Shipshewana for a quilt show and was finally able to get those bags emptied. Oh goodness what fun that was. And my daughter has been hiding a couple of quilt stores from me. I go out there to see her about 4 times a year. She keeps saying nope, no quilt stores. Ahh, but there's Yoders - if I don't go to any other store, I think that one will do! Next though I need to make a list. Here's all the wonderful fabric I got. No reason, no project, just me my husband and my daughter saying "you need this fabric" and in the basket it went :) It must have been close to lunch time when my daughter spotted the hot dog fabric.
But since I had to put all that away I decided to have a give away, but first you have to see what I did this week. I'll be quick :)

It seems like forever since I've been able to spend the day quilting. I think I got my fix this weekend. Sea Shards quilted and binding done. My sister wants this one. I was surprised, but ok. It was going to be a donation quilt, I'll donate to her. New pantograph for me,
Fantasy Flame 2 from Urban Elementz. I really like how this one looks. Not sure I get the whole flame thing going on, I thought more like sea weed. But hey, it's one I can do!!
Next is a table runner that was given to me by Kat from at
Scrapbox Quilts Didn't she make a beautiful runner? She asked who could use a runner that was 100 in long. I explained that's that size of my table and the next thing I know it's mine. I had no idea she meant it literally. Thanks Kat! It is definitely the prettiest runner in my house. I was so glad to finally get this beauty quilted. Nothing but feathers on this baby.
And a couple more blocks of the U9P. I LOVE the on point layout. The blocks are slow for me to make so it's gonna be a while for this one.
Ok the give away - why? Cuz I have more things than I want to put away. And so many of you have provided so much for me in terms of tips, suggestions, inspiration and motivation. Just my way of saying, thanks, I appreciate you. 2 winners this time. I have charm packs to give away, you choose, 2 of Katie by Jennifer Young (this is what I used for my made in cherry quilt). or two of Summersault from Free Spirit (these are what I'm using for 100 quilts for kids). Now Summersault is 6 inch charm, not five inch like Katie

This give away is for followers only. If you're a follower leave a comment, that's all. I would love to hear what you do with charm packs. I'm stumped when it comes to this size. But really would like to hear what you do with them, although not required to win. I'll draw two winners on Saturday afternoon some time. Good luck!!
