Tap, tap, tap…is this thing still working?  :)  As we are in the final week of the summer fun…I will be back to posting regularly very soon.  I have been busy with a couple of trips and when the kids are sleeping I am getting things done…more to show soon BUT for now…I’m next in line for the Winterkist Blog Hop.

Have you seen the new line of fabric–Winterkist–by none other than the infamous Monica of Happy Zombie?  Well you’ll want to get your hands on some quick…it is expected to be out any day now.  I was lucky enough to get some when my ”BBFWWTBMABFIWLITST” {my blog best friend who would totally be my actual best friend if we lived in the same town}, Katie of There & Back asked me to join in on the blog hopping fun.  She knows me so well, she sent the orange and pink color way…totally my colors.

At first I thought that I wanted to make my little one’s new christmas pillowcases.  They have “little people” pillows and I love to make them new pillowcases for special occasions…yes, I’m a dork like that.  :)  But after playing around with it more and more, I decided to make them placemats…or mug rugs, whichever suits your fancy.

Isn’t that gnoma just the cutest?  I used some wonder under and practiced my blanket stitch on my machine.

I really enjoyed sewing these together because I let the fabric “speak” to me.  It was so freeing…

Guess what?!  It’s your lucky day {or week}…Fat Quarter Shop has been so generous to giveaway fat quarter bundles to a couple of lucky winners during this blog hop.  Katie will be picking a winner every Friday from all of the comments each weekday of the blog hop.  That’s 5 chances a week! So make sure that you go and check out each blog…she’s got some amazing bloggers lined up.  Which bundle would you choose?  Perhaps a little Winterkist?
