12 Days of Christmas & Giveaway

  

When you ran out of something

you really need at the moment,

what would you do?

Did you know it's National Coffee Day today?

I got a new bag of special blend

from Starbucks yesterday

and enjoyed a cup to start my day.

And joined Yoga class as my Saturday routine.

Then prepped for quilter's kind of dinner

for tonight - Slow Cooker Lasagna!

I referred to this recipe found at

Pinterest some time ago.

All I will have to do is add additional

shredded Mozzarella cheese on the top

right before it's done.

I'm all set to have fun for today!

"12 Days of Christmas"

by Cheri Payne

My answer to the question

at the beginning of this post is

"Move to the next!".

(I ran out of some threads I will

need to continue with my wool

project. How sad!)

Now I've been busy with prepping

the applique pieces to make

another one of Cheri's quilt 

since last night.

I'm not really confident with applique

at all, in a fact, I almost have a fear

to practice applique :O

The above is my last applique I finished

3 years ago and now sitting in 

the guest bedroom. 

I don't think I've finished any

since this one?

But for this extraordinary wonderful

opportunity, who can put that fun aside 

any more?

So I got started my applique practice

adventure now :D

And you will see the reason why...

*****

I was offered something very special last week

by someone I have admired as a queen of

applique quilt ever since I've found her lovely

blog where filled with all kinds of fabulous quilts

she made.

And a couple of days ago,

I received an envelope from her

which was nearly overflow with

 lovely applique motives for this quilt.

What a wonderful surprise!!

She sent me to the moon for sure :D

Anyhow, to make a long story to short,

I have an extra set to make this quilt

to share with someone who would be

interested in making your own :)

So I'm throwing a giveaway for this extra set

in honor of Karen :)

This is what the winner will receive.

All the applique pieces needed to make 

"12 Days of Christmas" quilt.

Can you believe that all the hard work

has been done by someone else already :O

The size of this quilt will be

38" x 45".

You will still need the background and

border fabrics to finish a quilt top.

To give you an idea,

when you finish yours,

here is how it will look like.

I think the fabrics of each piece you see

 in the below picture are the same as 

what I got from her.

They are prepped for needle turn applique

with freezer paper templates.

I'm following the starch prep method

before getting started on needle turn.

Wendy has a great step by step tutorial

with good close-up pictures on her blog.

(I'm in Arizona time zone.)

This is a quick giveaway,
