Happy March 1st. Spring is coming and quick. My flowers are all ready to bloom. My Daffodils have buds on them and the Tulips are right behind them. I love when they bloom. It’s so pretty. Last year we had a freak snow storm in the middle of March and my bulbs didn’t do much. This year I’m excited to see all of them. We’ve had weather almost in the 70′s which is unheard of here in February. Even though I love my snow, I’m not complaining. I’m ready for Spring and getting out into the garden. I’ve got big plans for that this year.
As usual I’ve been sewing like crazy over here. I found this tutorial for the cutest lunch bags on a blog and I can’t stop making them.
This one is a gift for someone who’s having a baby. Isn’t it cute?? I’ll have kits for all of these on the website. You’ll have to go download your own pattern. It’s not my pattern so you should go over to Patchwork Penguins blog and get your own. But if you want a kit for any of these you can order that. I’ll be making up more designs too. I can’t stop making them. And they are so fast. I love the little inserts in them. LOVE THEM!! They are listed as Lunch Bags from A-E . But you can use them for so much more. They are as cute as they can be. I’m hooked!!
Finished quilting this quilt and getting binding on it finally. Thanks Frannie Fran. I love it!! Kits are on the website. It’s called Pure & Simple.
Almost finished quilting this one. I still have a few kits left for this but not many. Random Hearts is what the kit is called.
Quilting makes such a difference. This is just the unquilted top.
New Books:
American Summer by Polly Minick. Love the rugs and quilts in this book.
Cute pillows……..
Mastering Shadow Work Embroidery by Wendy Poche” Schoen
Vingette #6 has been shipped to me and I expect them any day. I’ll get them right out to you when they arrive. You can still purchase yours on the website. So far I can still reorder back issues but not sure for how long. So let me know soon if you would like any of the back issues.
Walnut Shells for your pincushions. These are great, have you ever used them to stuff your pincushions?
I’m so excited that these came in today. I love love love this fabric and have been waiting for these bundles and charm squares. Trust me each and everyone is cuter than the last.
Seasonal Little Gatherings from Primitive Gatherings. There are 50 sku’s in the group.
Walk In The Woods fabric is very cute too. If you love Little Red Riding Hood you’ll love this. It’s by Aneela Hoey for Moda.
Whew!! That’s a lot for you to take in. I’ll stop there. Mostly because I’m crossing my fingers that this thing lets me send this with so many pics.
I’m still waiting on some game pieces to arrive before we start but I haven’t forgotten.
Thanks for all of your orders and support. Also before I go Florence asked me to let everyone know that we are all ok here in St. Louis. Branson was hit pretty hard with tornados this week. We were lucky once again here. Tomorrow night is bringing more of the same nasty weather. I hope it goes right on by again. But you never know. It’s been so warm here and then we have those awful thunder storms which cause damage. Thanks for thinking of me and checking on me. I appreciate that. :)

How’s it going? Is everyone busy sewing since the holidays are gone and over? I can tell more are getting back to their sewing machines by the orders I’m getting. And that’s a good thing. Thank you so much. And thank you for the nice emails you send me. It’s so nice to get “nice” emails. :)
I’ve been busy over here too, sewing. I even made two of my own designs which I love. I do not love writing patterns of course but that comes with the territory. Here’s one that I finished and it’s on the website.
I’m going to call it Stars and a Bird. Clever don’t ya think? You can find the kit under KITS. Clever again huh??
A few new things came in.
A Year of Cozy Comforts by Dawn Heese. I love this book. So many good ideas inside.
Crap Apple Hill Designs has new patterns out. Don’t you love stitching her designs and using your crayon box?
Here Comes Peter Cottontail
All My Eggs in One Basket
I finished this quilt top. Next I’ll be loading it on the Gammill and quilting it. I haven’t used that in awhile and I’m dying to get back in there and use her. The kit is on the website. It’s called Random Hearts Quilts. I love the red and the aqua color together.
I could have stopped with this block the way it is. But it goes with the Vintage Memories BOM that I’m currently doing. In reds, yellows and blues.
Here are the first three blocks. You do two each month. You can still join us if you want. After I make block 4 I’ll close it. I love this so far.
Vignette 6 will be shipped to me next week. You can still purchase it on the website. It looks like a good issue. But aren’t they all?
This is the sneak peek of Lynette Andersons new Button BOM. That is a button of the month. There is no fabric included in this. The pattern and button are included each month. All of the buttons are so cute. They are only available in the kit each month as well as the pattern. I still have a few spots left in this. Lynette has sold out so I can’t order anymore. If your thinking about doing it, now is the time. It is 9 months. Starting in March with the first one.
I now have the Primitive Quilts and projects in stock. I have a couple Winter issues and then I have Spring. It’s a great magazine. I’ll be getting each issue after this too. I’m glad so many of you like it.

Hello there! How’s your February going so far? It’s such a good month isn’t it? Lots of red and pink going on. At least around here it is. Especially that RED. I finally hung my Valentine quilt out on the front porch. It’s only 7 days into the month so that’s not too bad.
Lots of stuff to get to so here goes.
First up, the Vignette magazine issue #6 is going to be here the first part of March so I’ll be sending out the Paypal invoices and charging the credit cards. Just so you know ahead. If you’d like to order one and aren’t on my list you can do so on the website now. It’s under Australian patterns. I know it’s a magazine. No mail please. lol When I get a picture of the newest issue I’ll post it on the website.
Lynette Andersons Button BOM will be here in March too. I have a few spots left if anyone hasn’t signed up yet that wants too. This one is not Christmas. Remember it is a mystery so I don’t know the finished size or have a photo of the completed quilt. There are 9 months to this. The pattern is free but the button your paying for. The pattern is only free to those who are participating in the Button of the month. This is a sneak peak of the quilt. Can you see the little owl in the bottom picture? And that cute squirrel button. The quilt has some applique, some stitchery and some piecing. Just like the last one. Hope this clears up some confusion about the quilt. And postage is included in the cost of the kit each month.
Several of you wanted to do the block of the month that I offered as a Christmas BOM last year. So I started a new one. This one will be in the colors red/yellow and blue. These are the first two blocks in the quilt. Each month you make two blocks. One month you even make four little blocks. This is a big quilt. It’s going to be scrappy so all shades of red, blue and yellow will be in it. You can sign up under block of the months and this is called Vintage Memories.
These are the blocks from the Christmas one just so you can see some more of the designs we’ll do in the new colors.
New patterns are on the website. I tried to upload pics but Moda’s website is down and I can’t get them. You can go to JUST ADDED and see them all. Some cute ones if I do say so myself.
About the game we’re going to play. If you place an order this month I’ll send you a game piece so you can play. I’ll be sending them out in Feb and we’ll start in March. It’s going to be fun and prizes are involved. you have to place an order. It’s not for BOM’s going out. If you’ve placed an order this month your instructions are in your package that’s on the way. Just hang on to it. More on that later.
That’s about all I got from here. I really wanted to let you know that I’ll start invoicing and billing for the Vignette magazine tomorrow.
Enjoy your snow if you have any. Cause I don’t. :( Excuse me while I go pout.

Lynette Andersons 2012 BOM
Posted February 2nd, 2012 in What's New
I have gotten a photo of the new 2012 button BOM from Lynette Anderson and I still have some room if you would like to join us. It’s not Christmas this time. Just for those of you that didn’t want to do another Christmas one. I am not sure of the completed size when your finished. There are 9 months to this. The pattern is free again and you are paying for the button in the kits. The pattern is ONLY FREE to those that are doing the BOM. Not everyone. Here is the photo of what she sent me.
I love that squirrel button and do you see the owl down there in the second photo? The quilt is called Fernhill. I’m very excited for this one. I sold my spot last time so I missed out, not this time girlies. lolol If you want in join now!!
You can sign up on the website and Lynette will be shipping us the first block the beginning of March. YAYYYYY Here is the link to the website. http://daisycottagequilting.com/#ecwid:mode=product&product=7497730
Gotta run!!!
Happy Stitchin!

Happy February!! I love this month. Valentine is one of my favorite holiday’s. We don’t do anything major for this holiday but I love it so much. Maybe after all the red and green, just RED is what excites me so much. And pink of course. Pink is a runner up to my beloved RED.
I’ve been working on some new things. First is my project for the Christmas project of the month club. This little bag can be Christmassy or any other holiday or just an everyday bag to make for someone. So this will be the next kit you guys get for that project of the month.
I hope you like it. I think it turned out cute. I might give mine to my sister. For Valentine’s day of course.
I just have to show you this because I love all the stamps that are on it. haaaaaaaa A friend sent me this cute Mary Engelbreit book and lots of magazines. It was a total surprise. I had no idea she sent anything. Thanks Jean!!
Peter Cottontail is a new kit on the website. I love him!!! I’ve tried to take numerous photos of him and none I like. Sorry. Trust me, it’s cute and fast to make. They both turn out different colors. haaaa I”m gonna say the one on the right is the better picture and more true to the colors. Some of the fabrics are from the line Together from Moda if that helps in the coloring.
This is the pattern just so you have a reference.
This is the first mini quilt from the Country Threads block of the month using their newest book. I’ll be getting these kits out this week I’m hoping. It will have the backing and the black binding too. My machine is still in the shop getting a new circuit board so I can’t quilt it. I like to quilt the smaller ones using my Pfaff. Not the Gamill.
This is the book you’ll need for the patterns each month. The book is on the website.
Lovin this!!! I haven’t started the buttonholing yet but couldn’t wait to show you. I love this so much I’m in love!!!! There is more to the wallhanging. This is only the center part, I still have to put on the borders. I’ll have the kit listed on the website too. Fabrics may vary. The background one will be the same though. The crows will be the same too. I used some of my fabric from my stash to make parts of this and I have enough to do a few kits. Then I will substitute other fabs. But………….tell me you don’t love it???? I dare you. lolol
This is the pattern for this one so you can see the finished project. Did I tell you that I LOVE IT???
I have your mini quilt of the month ready to mail, I’m just waiting on the patterns. I’ve ordered them and hoping to get them this week. Sorry for the delay.
Paypal invoices have been sent out to everyone for the little House BOM and a couple still haven’t paid. I’ll be selling your kits on the website if you don’t pay this week. If you want to give me a credit card so you dont lose out that’s fine but if I bill you and you don’t pay your kit will go up on the website.
I’ll be back in a few days to tell you about a game we’re going to play and if you place an order this month you’ll be entered in the game once I explain it all. The more you buy the better chance you have of winning. Just saying. :) If you already placed an order today it will count too for the game.
Thanks for your business. I appreciate it.
Hugs
Sharon

Hey there! How’s everyone been? I’ve been a sewing fool over here. That’s all I wanna do lately. Just hide in my basement and sew. I am in a creative mood. Starting all kinds of projects. And yes even finishing some of them. My problem is I don’t like to write patterns. I can design lots of things and even make them but then getting the directions on paper…………problem!!! I do warn you in my directions this is not my profession. lol But you know where I am if you have any questions. That’s a good thing right?
I have been working on some of my BOM’s that some of you are doing. I love all of them. I thought maybe you would like to see what I’ve done.
This is the Vintage Christmas BOM. I LOVE THIS. The red and green are so pretty together. I’m mixing a lot of shades of green in this. It’s going to be a big quilt. I can get the pattern set if anyone wants to make one. I can’t kit it up like this anymore. I might do it again if different colors. Anyone interested? Send me an email.
Don’t you just love these tiny blocks? Wouldn’t an entire quilt of these be cute? They are the four little blocks in the center part of the quilt.
Finished both of these. I’m going to start the other two that I have now. There are a few different ones on the website under STITCHERY or AUSTRALIAN patterns. They come preprinted and all you do is stitch. Can’t get any easier can it? Well, it can but NO I’m not going to do it for you. :) I still haven’t decided how I’m going to finish these. Maybe I’ll just hang them on the hanger with all my other stitchery’s until something hits me. Not really HITS me, just hits me!
I made some new bundles of dots in fat quarters. If you go to the website under the bundles remember they are always changing as I get new fabric and sell out of old. If you really like dots I could make you one huge bundle of dots. I have dots everywhere. If it’s available I order it I think. Who knew I had so many?
Here’s another one I have made up new. This is the red fat quarter bundle.
I just had to show you this. Some of my scraps from making bundles. Isn’t it colorful. Like confetti.
This is the Redwork Christmas BOM that alot of you are doing. I think it’s turning out awesome. These are some big blocks! Hunka looked at them hanging there and said, WOW that is a lot of stitching. DUHHHH Ya think I just whip this stuff up overnight? This BOM I can also get the pattern set still if anyone is interested. Just send me an email. It is an iron on pattern so you just lay it on your fabric and press. Perfect huh? No tracing!!
Do ya see what I’ve been working on? This cute little drawstring bag. It is going to be a tutorial on the website. I’ll send it out in newsletter in a few days. I have kits on the website if you want to make it like mine. You don’t have to, but if you like mine, get a kit and get ready. First thing you’ll need to do is go to Birdbrain’s website and print off the adorable little birdy pattern. It’s a freebie on her website. Robin does free little stitchery all the time for us to dowload free. I won’t be including this in your kit because you should go get it from her. And thank her maybe???? She doesn’t have to give us this free but she does and I think it’s so so nice of her. He is the cutest bird isn’t he?
Your kit will have everything you need in it except the pattern for the bird. The instructions will be on the tutorial. I love my little bag. Birdie Bag Kit is what it’s listed as under KITS.
FRONT
BACK
I’m outta room as usual. Please know that shipping at the post office has increased as of the 21st. I’ve made the changes on the website so it will just automatically do that for you. And don’t forget that I reimburse you for overcharges. :)
Happy Sewing everyone

First I need to let you know that orders coming in after this weekend won’t go out for a week. I’ll be heading to Ca to attend Road to CA with Hunka. I can’t wait. We’re staying by the beach with a friend. It’s going to be so much fun. I’ll take lots of pictures if I can. You can still place orders just know that they won’t ship out until after I return on Sunday the 22nd I think it is.
Secondly I’d like to ask you to say a prayer for my friend JoAnn Mullaly of JAM designs. Her daughter Megan lost her battle with cancer this past week. I know she’s been fighting this for years. I can’t imagine what JoAnn is going through or her family. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family. I’m hoping to get to see her next week while I’m in Ca. If you get a minute please stop by her blog and let her know we’re thinking about her. You can click on her name and it should take you to her blog.
Bundles!!! I’ve been making bundles. I spent most of the day yesterday downstairs cutting and cutting and kitting. My hand hurts but I must carry on. My customers wait. :) And I love my customers.
I cut a fat quarter of all the red/white or white/red polka dots. I didn’t realize I had so many different ones down there. If your like me, you love you some polka dots and RED is even better.
This new line of fabric came in this week. The 1862 Battle Hymn by Barbara Brackman. I am in love with this. I’m dying to cut into it and make something. Like maybe one of our monthly mini’s.
And I made bundles too.
Redwork Renassiance by Chloe’s Closet bundles. Again with the RED. Love it.
Blueberry Crumb Cake fabrics are on the website by Blackbird Designs. Along with their newest book.
Aren’t these cute? You pull their ears and the tape measure comes out. Push the button on their back and it closes up. And they are an inexpensive little gift for your quilter friends. Or if your like me, you get one for yourself!!
I thought this was a cute and easy pattern. Daisy Chains by Fig Tree.
I’ve marked down alot of scissors, thread keeps, needle minders etc on the website. I won’t be restocking these so get them while I have them. And more fabric has been marked down. I’m finally starting to see the basement carpet. And that’s a good thing.
Sew Cherry, Countdown to Christmas and Sugar and Spice. All marked down.
I’m almost caught up on all the orders everyone placed. Next I’ll get back on schedule mailing out the BOM’s. I’m still waiting to hear from Lynette on her new one. Last one was Christmas but that doesn’t mean this year it will be Christmas. I have no idea what she will do. I’ll keep you updated as I know.
Vignette magazine will be out in March. Some of you have asked me about that too. I still have issue one and three left. I’m not restocking these. They are going out of print I think. If you want any of them you can prepay and I can see if they are still in stock. Other than that I will have issue 5 and those after that.
Alrighty then, that’s alot for you to take in. Hope I didn’t leave anything out. If so, I’ll be back in your inbox soon. :) Don’t delete me. I beg of you. haaaaaaa just kidding. Ok, not really.
Hugs

I know I’m back sooner that I thought I would be. But I did send an email to Lynette Anderson about her Button BOM to find out when we could expect it and it looks like Feb it will get going. So those of you that have already signed up, you will be on the list for sure. If anyone else thinks they might want to join us this year, please,please sign up. I’m only going to reserve the amount of kits that have prepaid this year. And she could have us sign up any day. This will be the last time I mention this so please don’t delay if you think you’d like to do it. You can sign up on the website but after that I’ll call for your cc number. I will need your credit card number on this so I can just automatically bill each month before it is shipped to me. If you can’t do credit card I’m sorry, this is the only way to keep it simple and get them shipped out on time each month.Waiting for Paypal invoices to be paid is really confusing over here. I have lots of BOM’s going on and keeping track of who paid, who’s was shipped,etc is quite a job. And remember, it’s just me, little old me. I do it all.
Regarding other BOM’s that are ongoing. Please check your email accounts for invoices I send. I have sent a few out more than once and if they are not paid by this week I will assume your not doing it anymore. And I will mark your name off that list. I need to close up a few of them that are complete. So please check your email or if you haven’t received a month your expecting please send me an email. No one will be allowed to join a BOM in the middle anymore either. It’s very confusing and just this week I got a nasty email from someone who signed up midway because there was a confusion on my part. I just can’t keep up with the late comer anymore. So get in right at first if you want to participate.
Thanks for the orders I’ve received this weekend. I’ll be working on them tomorrow and all week. I’ve added more new fabric at a sale price. I won’t be marking it down any lower, I’ll just keep it for kits an the price will go back up to 8.75 this week. So if your looking for some of the Battle Hymns fabric and want it on sale. Grab it now. These are just a few of the prints I ordered. Moda has shipped my order and it should arrive this week. I can’t wait to see it and make something with it.
I’ve almost finished with my Annie BOM quilt. Just two more borders left. I did cut the outside border in half. It was just too wide for the little blocks. What a happy quilt. You can still get the pattern set on the website. I have two full sets left.
This pillow was made using the Feb Annie blog. But the kit has the pattern for Feb in it too in case you didn’t do the Annie BOM.
I’ve cut and added more 1930′s Aunt Grace bundles for fat quarters and fat eights. Both are marked down. When these are gone, they are gone too.
I finished my Friendship BOM quilt. I can still get the pattern set if anyone would like to make one. Just let me know.
I’m sure someone out there does embroidery machine work. I have these two sets of thread and they are poly thread and rayon. If anyone wants them and you pay the shipping I’d love to give them to you. I can not use them and not even sure how I got them. lol The first person to email me can have them. I’ll send you a paypal invoice for shipping. I’ll send them Priority Flat Rate in the box not an envelope.
GONE!!!! Sorry. 
Okie Dokie, gotta run! Thanks again for the orders, the nice emails, and little notes you send me. They all make me smile.
Hugs
