One World, One Day

One World, One Day by Barbara Kerley is a book that I would recommend reading to any child. There are pictures of children from all over the world doing everyday things...eating breakfast, going to school and playing with friends. No matter where a child lives, he or she would be able to identify with the daily activities. It is simple, but could be used for any age because at the end there are more details telling exactly where the children in each picture was taken along with more details.

desert quilt

This is a quilt I made this summer for my friend who lives in the desert. If the quilt had stayed in Minnesota, I would have probably called it a fall quilt. The idea for the pattern was inspired by a quilt I saw on the movie Saving Sarah Cain. My first attempt to make a quilt with triangles like this resulted in a quilt top I gave to my sister and she finished. You can see it here.

winner

The winner of the giveaway for September is Melissa. I will get the bibs and bag in the mail to you soon.

National Sewing Month

September is National Sewing Month. To commemorate this, I am giving away the two baby bibs above and the bag shown below. The baby bibs are quilted and washable, the bag is made of cotton fabric and is machine washable as well. The bibs and bags are both things I make for gifts because they go together fairly quickly and are functional. If you want a chance to win, leave a comment on any of my posts from this month. A winner will be chosen sometime after school on September 30. One entry per post, and like my last giveaway, open to people I know. If you won something on my blog already this year, you are not eligible for this one.

ocean breeze tumbler quilt

The ocean breeze tumbler quilt is what I gave my sister for her birthday. The idea for the name came from my friend Jill, but when she mentioned the words ocean breeze, it seemed to fit well. Maybe she and I should quit our jobs and work for a paint company naming colors.

winner

Anita is the winner of the giveaway. I counted comments on all the posts for July and August and then used the random number generator. Fitting, as it is her birthday tomorrow. Thanks for all of you who commented...I'll have another giveaway in the next month or two.
