My heart is singing...

Doesn't it just make your heart sing when you see one of your sewing projects 

featured on someone else's blog?

Allyson at The Quilted Castle loved my idea of my message board.

She was featuring Moda's Mama Said Sew by Sweetwater fabrics.

My  friend Christa emailed me that she had seen my 
Charmed Message Board on The Quilted Castle blog.

Well to my surprise...this is what Allyson wrote.

Last but not least we found a sweet little Charmed Message Board pattern.  I love this idea! They made this one using a Mama Said Sew Charm Pack and some yardage, along with a fat quarter of chalk cloth. This recipe is listed as a “120-Minute Gift” – so easy, affordable and quick! Perfect combo for a handmade gift idea.

Yes my heart is singing. 

Look what is on the shelves at Crazyquiltgirl Fabric Shop!

If you love the Ghastlies by Alexander Henry

you can find 29 of the Ghastlie fabrics...including the new Christmas prints

at Crazyquiltgirl Fabric Shop.

 

This one is called A Ghastlie Holiday in the Blood Red color.

It also comes in Smoke, Mauve, and Green colors.

This is just the coolest print....It is selling fast!!

It is the perfect fabric for the Wicked Blog Hop.

Wicked Wendy is on her broom!!

A Ghastlie project....

......I forgot to include in my 'parade of projects'. 

 The antique silk spool came from Bird Brain Designs. 

(just noticed they are out of stock, hopefully they will get them back in soon) 

It makes a perfect holder for my embroidery scissors....

I wrapped batting around the spool

then covered it with a scrap of Ghastlie fabric to make a pin cushion....

luv.....it.....it sits on the couch beside me...no more

hunting for my scissors!!

happy hugs
