Happy Valentines Day!

OWOH Giveaway!

This Contest is now CLOSED

Welcome to the ONE World-ONE Heart 2010 annual give away event hosted by Lisa "Oceandreamer" Swifka from A Whimsical Bohemian . This is my 3rd year to participate and I am so excited to be apart of this again.  I have met so many wonderful people.  The idea behind this is to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way.

What I am giving away!

One beautiful tooth fairy pillow. Keep your child's tooth safe while it awaits the tooth fairy's visit. Don't have any children loosing teeth then it can be used to put a keepsake in or used as a decor pillow that hangs from a door knob or bed post.

How to win

To enter my giveaway leave a comment on this post.  You must have a blog to enter my draw.  The drawing will be held on February 15th after 9:30 p.m. pst. Good luck!

Mini Quilt

I made this quilt for a log cabin mini quilt swap. My swap partner had to provide the center of the log cabin squares and I had to provide the rest.

It's Been A While & Doll Quilt Swap 6

Wow! It has been a while since I have posted. No, I have not fallen off the face of the earth! I am still here. Thought I would show you the doll quilt I sent for DQS 6. It was sent and received a few weeks ago. I will show you the one I received soon. I really, really, really like it! :0)

Quilt In A Bag Swap Sent & Received

Here is the quilt I made for the Quilt In A Bag Swap 2. My Swap partner Sarah sent me a 5" charm pack that I had to use to create a quilt and add any fabric needed to complete the quilt. The fabrics she sent me inspired me to make a quilt of a tree. I right away though of one of my favorite poems...

TREES

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

Joyce Kilmer

1886-1918

Below is the quilt that I received from Sarah for the Quilt In A Bag Swap 2. Thank you so much Sarah, it is wonderful! This was a fun swap. I have joined Quilt In A Bag Swap 3, so keep checking back to see what I make for that swap. For this swap we had to send a FQ to our swap partner that is to be use as the centers for a log cabin quilt. I have the design all drawn out and some of the fabrics picked out. All I have to do now is get cutting. :0) It won't be your typical log cabin quilt. ;0) Now I have you wondering don't I? LOL!

My Triptych Quilt

"Three little owls sitting in a tree..."

This is the triptych quilt I made for a mini quilt swap. This is my original design. The quilts went to Amy at Eye Luv Quilt. I was making an extra set for myself while I was making this one then put it aside to finish Amy's. All I have to do to mine is quilt it then I will post a picture. :0) Amy has not gotten it yet so I hope she does not see this post. She should be getting it any day now.

Just A Little, Puppy, Swapping, Crafty & Quilting Chatter

O.K. I know it's been a while since I have posted. Sorry :-( I have a little catching up to do on some things I was wanting to post about a whiiiiiiiiiiiiiile back.

First: A little puppy, that's not so little anymore. We adopted a black lab cross puppy on January 17th. He was born November 11, 2008. He was one of 6 puppies born under a trailer. The mother and the puppies were rescued by a local animal shelter that fosters animals out until they are adopted. He is a wonderful puppy and smart. At 2 months when we got him he was already almost to heavy for my children to pick up. Now, you can forget it. LOL! I would say at 4 months old he has doubled in size. The picture shown was taken the day we got him, I need to take some new pictures.



Second: I want to show you a wonderful little felt Matryoshka doll that I got from Suzie. She did such a nice job. Unfortunately I did not think to take any pictures of the ones I sent my swap partner. Oh well!

Third: A dollhouse Valentine quilt wall hanging that holds mini Valentine cards. The wall hanging is about 2" x 3" and is the smallest quilt I have ever made. I made it for Susan who made the little puppets for Club Little House that I posted about in January. I also sent a little Valentine picture to hang on the wall. Susan sent me a very cute little pink beaded heart wreath and tiny bear made with pink pipe cleaners. How creative is she! Sorry no picture yet, I can't seem to get a good one. When I do I will add it to this post. We are in the middle of doing an Easter doll house swap right now. I will show you pictures of those when I get them. :-)

Fourth: I am participating in two quilt swaps right now, Doll Quilt Swap 6 and Quilt In A Bag on Flickr. I will be showing you some sneak peaks of the doll quilt I will be making. I have not started it yet because I am trying to finish the one for the Quilt In A Bag Swap. I am really enjoying the Quilt In A Bag Swap. My swap partner sent me a set of 5" charms and I sent her a set of 5" charms. I am supposed to use all the charms in the quilt and provide any other fabrics needed to complete the quilt then send back a finished quilt that is no bigger than 24". This is my first time doing a swap like this and I am really enjoying it. It is meant to challenge you by working with fabrics that someone else as sent you. I will post some sneak peaks of it soon so check back.

Fifth but certainly not least. Look at the great quilts that Amy made for me for a triptych swap. I am still shocked! She did such a wonderful job. I will show you the quilts I sent her this weekend. I don't want to post them before she gets them or it may not be a surprise. She also included a bag (that she made) with sweets and a great little quilting gadget. :-)

Mini Quilt

Here is the mini quilt I had been working on before Christmas that I told you about. It went to Marja who lives the Netherlands. The theme for this quilt was "my favorite things". Instead of picking just one of Marja's favorite things I decided to include all her favorite things. They include: Yellow, dogs, chocolate (chocolate dog), bling bling, the beach and fruit. It reached her safe and sound and she really liked it. :-)

And The Winner Is...

Heather from Paper Pieces and Bits of Me

I had so much fun participating in One World One Heart again this year and have met some wonderful people along the way. I also won some great prizes too. :-) I will show you what I won when I get them all. :-)

Thank you everyone for your nice comments and please come again soon!
