Luscious Stars and a Giveaway!

So...it's been quiet around here of the blog lately. I'm not lazy in general, I'm just a lazy blogger.  What can I say, I'd rather be quilting ;)

Summer's almost here and my part-time job at an elementary school will be on hold for a few months which will give me a chance to stay up to date on blogging and all some of my quilting projects. I don't share all of them, but this one I just have to! I told you in my last post that I had a Luscious project underway...I still do. It's not quite done yet, but will be soon! It's almost ready to be quilted!!!













I LOVE this quilt top! The fabrics are Hello Luscious by Basic Grey for Moda with a Moda Essential Dot for the background fabric. The design was inspired by a quilt that a customer and new friend saw on Etsy. She wanted a similar quilt, but with a few changes. I contacted the seller and she said that she didn't have a pattern; she had been inspired by an antique quilt she had seen. She generously gave me permission to play with her design so I did! :) Enter EQ7...I love this software! My daughter helped out and we quickly figured out the design and I just love the results! I'll share more pics when this beauty is all quilted :)

In another previous post I shared a giveaway by Sew Kind of Wonderful for her fantastic Quick-Curve Ruler. Well, Jenny's at it again and I reaaaalllly want to win this one! She's designed a new bag and it is absolutely darling! Best of all, she's going to make a custom one for the winner!!!

Here's what Jenny said in her post:

I was hoping I could get some help to spread the word about my bag at Quilt Market and the incentive is a 

CUSTOM MADE QUICK CURVE RULER BAG!!

To enter the Giveaway, I would need your help spreading the word!   You can do that through a Blog Post, button on your blog, Facebook, Pinterest..... linking back to this post and be sure to include this picture:







For each way you help me out, will get you more entries in the Giveaway, but be sure to comment each time letting me know.....so let's say you did a blog post and pinned it on pinterest, then you would leave (2) comments, one for each. Get it!
The Giveaway will be open until May 18th, at which time I will do the drawing for the Giveaway and the lucky winner will get to put in their color request for a custom made Quick Curve Ruler bag, like the one above!  You'll have a one of a kind Contemporary bag all put together and quilted by me!
And that's it!!

Jenny is an amazing quilter and I would LOVE anything made by her so I hope I win! You can have a chance to win too...all you have to do is enter at her site! Good luck!
