Last week I shared a few pics of a folded up quilt top I made for Robert Kaufman using their new line, London Calling 4 ~ a rich mix of florals in soft, fine lawn. They'd asked me to design a quilt that was charm pack friendly and in the end, I kinda surprised even myself at what I turned in. Well, they had it quilted up lightening fast and here is the finished quilt:

What do you think? A diamond in the rough? I love it, the quilter did an amazing job, and I look forward to seeing it in a Kaufman ad set to print in the March/April issue of Quilty. yeah!

I've been juggling so many projects lately ~ some of them with deadlines ~ but I had to take five minutes out of my day today to handsew this tag on a little holder that's been finished for a long time now... just because. Just because it caught my eye, and I thought, oh snap, that needs a tag right there. Do you do stuff like this, too? Sometimes I think I just need a handsewing break. That's my real great love. Handsewing.

Yes, I've got another Simply Sweet Giveaway courtesy of Shay and her etsy shop, Simply Sweet Fabric. This time, Shay sent me a bundle of 7 fat quarters from Tasha Noel's new line with Riley Blake, Country Girls. Sooo cute. I love Tasha's work, and I plan to cut into my bundle right away.
Btw, Shay has a blog, The Little White Farmhouse, and this quilt (in the making) totally caught my eye.
If you'd like a chance to win the Country Girls fat quarter bundle, please leave a comment on this post telling me... what is your great crafting love (for instance, embroidery, knitting, crochet, making quilts, sewing small projects?) Open to all. Comments will close Thursday, January 23rd at midnight. Good luck to you!

p.s. Since you asked, I use Alton Brown's recipe for pavlova and you can find it here.
