Take a bow!

I am taking a bow for my finishes and here are some pictures to prove it did happen.
 This runner was a class given at The Cloth Castle for their Christmas tea and what fun we all had.  I dug deep and pulled out some Laurel Birch fabric for this project, don't you just love her happy colors.  Miss you Laurel.
 Another Christmas themed fabric using my colors.
 A mug mat of leftover strips from the  Figgy Pudding line I used.
 Above is a coaster that I finished and one that is in the process.  Yes, I challenged myself to use up these fabrics and I did a pretty good job.
This is one of two placemats that I might let my hubby use, watch those crumbs please.
 There are a dozen placemats here and that should be how many people at my Son's dinner table for the Christmas chow down.  Now those are  the flattest snowmen I've ever seen.
 I've added some hand stitching with metallic thread and so far so good.
Who doesn't love a Snowman, especially one that attracts birds!
This Angel wall hanging will be for my Mom who lives in her own suite in a Seniors Lodge.  They are her colors and she likes sparkle and this has it for sure.  
I have some flannel in the dryer and am hoping for a cuddly lap quilt to be miraculously finished for Christmas.  Maybe not this year but in quilter lingo, there is always next year.

Giveaway wins from pieceful life and Dragon Threads Open Book

I received theses fat quarters from Elizabeth at pieceful life from a second place win on a giveaway she  hosted, thanks so much.  There is a wonderful piece of flannel there and look some hootie owls, how did she know I just love OWLS!  It was meant to be.
This is another win from a Dragon Threads Open Book giveaway.  Looking through this book made me realize that one should never pull back on your creative urges.  This book just oozes inspiration.
Thanks so much.

And the winner is

Congratulations to WvHmmngbrd, you are the lucky winner of my Pinmoor Giveaway as chosen by my random generator who is my Mom (#33).  Thanks to everyone who took the time to enter my giveaway and a special thank you to Loretta for so generously donating a package of Pinmoors.  Just to let those who didn't win today know the Pinmoors are on sale until Jan 1st so pop on over and maybe grab some because you know they'll make great Christmas gifts right.http://www.pinmoor.com/.  
I think I'm going to do just that myself.  After all I'm used to buying my own Christmas gift, just ask my hubby.  Love ya dear!

Pinmoor Giveaway

Ask and ye shall  receive and that is exactly what I did.  Loretta, the brains behind Pinmoors graciously agreed to my request of a package of her Pinmoors for this giveaway.  Check it out here http://www.pinmoor.com/video.html, you won't be disappointed.
I think there should be some other  goodies to go along with this giveaway, don't you agree? 
 So there will be a charm pack or two and  though they aren't pictured here I will add some pins of course.  Just for some more sweetness I thought a little chocolate wouldn't hurt.  All I need for you to do is make a comment on this post which will remain open until midnight Saturday, November 12.  I will  post the winner on Sunday so please make sure there is a way for me to contact you.  This is open to anyone who stops by and says hello.
