the winner of the Intrepid Thread giveaway . . . and a quilt pattern question


Congrats to Lindsay!  I'll send you an email for your mailing address.

And a BIG THANK-YOU to The Intrepid Thread for sponsoring this generous giveaway!  It was fun reading what's on everyone's Christmas wish list, definitely some popular new lines out right now!

So I'm a little buried in my sewing room right now with Christmas gift sewing, but loving it.  I just have a tendency of starting the next one before finishing the last one.  I'm sure I'm not the only one though, right?  Inspirational overload seems to do that to crafters.  :-)

Here's a lovely package I received from The Intrepid Thread the other day, it came wrapped and everything!  And I was very impressed with the rich colour in this Rendezvous fabric . . .

And I actually spent the a couple hours fabric shopping this week (very rare for me because online shopping seems to be easier with little ones).  And these fat quarters jumped into my hands, aren't they fun?  I want to make a baby quilt with them, I'd love some pattern ideas again . . .

After all, you guys did a wonderful job suggesting patterns the last time I had this dilemma.  And here is my New Wave quilt all cut up and in the midst of being pieced.  I picked up the Fat Cats ruler from JoAnn's for a steal and had all the cutting done in no time.

And THANK-YOU to all the new readers that have joined here over the past couple giveaways!  I LOVE being part of such a big online crafting community and getting inspiration from one another!  And giveaways always make things more fun, so don't miss out on the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day coming up!

Congratulations to Lindsay!
Great fabrics - I'm thinking those equilateral triangles are a good idea for the baby quilt x

Congratulations to the winner! Idea for a quilt - I saw those little triangles and thought, baby quilt with a bunting style pennant (like sweetwater did) yet make the little pennants as prairie points. I have 3 grandnieces under the age of 1, and these babies love to grab hold of things (and put things in their mouths). Prairie Points would be 3-dimensional and can have a solid background. Just a thought.
