A Little Peek and A Little Contest………..

butler fabric

Lately it seems that I have been very happy to get back to my sewing roots even if I did have a big “fail” a few weeks back with my quilt.

I think I may be one of the very last people to have discovered the Moda Bakeshop.  Have you ever visited?  Well if you haven’t and you enjoy sewing, you are in for a treat!

Go on and take a look……..I’ll wait.

I have discovered a whole new world of bloggers….”quilting bloggers”.  So many of them are amazing photographers and wonderfully creative!  It’s been fun reading and getting new ideas.

Which brings me back to the fabric.  Can you guess what it is going to be? 

Kashmir_colander_close I am going to run a contest to introduce my new yarn, Kashmir.  The first person to guess correctly what the fabric will be will get a skein and I will also choose a random winner.  Email me no later than Friday at 9pm (EST) and I will announce the winner on Saturday.

There actually has been some knitting going on here as well.  As you can see my Bee Blob is growing in leaps and bounds.

bee  I’m not sure if you can make it out…..but can you see it?  It’s my most favorite part of this project……buzzzzzzzzzzz.

  5. Thanks for the link…..that’s going right on my bloglines! I love Moda fabrics, but this is a great idea. Not a clue what you are making….an apron? That bee design is adorable!

  6. The bake shop looks like fun. As for the fabric my first guess would be a skirt, second guess a handbag/knitbag. Of course my guesses are what have been on my mind to sew. But first the pile of mending – all my kids favorite clothes.

  9. I tentatively thought tote, but then – NO that’s the perfect apron fabric!
    (oh well, not the first with that idea, but I still think it’s neat for that purpose!)
    Can’t wait to see what you’ll do…and yes, tho’ quilting blogs are amazing – will you link to some in your sidebar?

  10. Umm…a knapsack-type tote bag? Nothing really original to add, lol. Loved that modabakeshop link-I so did not need it though-I have a wall of quilting fabrics, along with the wall of yarn and wall of fleece!

    so pretty. Fabric like that makes me want to be a seamstress… but I’m too hooked on the spin/knit kick for now.
    And I love your bees!

  12. I’m guessing that you’ll combine your love of sewing and knitting by making a tote bag to carry you knitting in. Love the fabric, it works so well together and I can’t wait to see what you do make.

  13. What a great site the Bakeshop is! Your fabric is lovely and looks like it would be lovely made up as the Charmed Gift Bag from the site. Just my thought, anyway.

  14. A tote bag, must be, and seeing the bees in your shawl! There just isn’t enough minutes, hours, days, years, to see all the cool stuff being created out there!

  15. I’m guessing that it is going to be a knitting bag. For all your knitting projects. Which I can’t wait for the Anne Hanson’s new knitting project. Which she said that you will be caring a kit. It’s a bag to put Anne’s new project in.

  16. omg, i just love your bee blob! maybe the new project is a project bag? (i have one in that fabric, so i’m not being very creative about my guess!)
    hmm, or maybe a baby bag (not for the baby itself but to carry baby things?) i think i mean a diaper bag, hehe.

    Everyone has already guessed what I would have guessed, so I’ll just wait with anticipation!

  18. I know you love tote bags, but the binders are cute, and you do have a little granddaughter, who’s probably getting ready for school. . .but looking at your fabric choice, I’m going with the TOTE BAG.
    It will be lovely, whatever you make!
