Corrie is going to be lovin' seeing this guy at the top of the blog!! But this is all I could think of when I wanted to add something new. Sheesh, it's been a whole week since we last chatted! So it's KETCHUP TIME. He might just become a new mascot. I might even buy this outfit for halloween. Mike could be mustard, the kids could be BBQ sauce and relish! I've got my theme going now! Last year our costumes were "Things on a rearview mirror". Mike and I were fuzzy dice, Greg was an air freshner and we just couldn't talk Marsha into being a graduation tassle. She wanted to be a kitty. okay. Anywho.....back to ketchup!I spent a long weekend at Corrie's. We finished up the newest pattern and quilt. Knotty Baby! I think it woul
d make the Super Nanny proud. I just love to say "Knotty Baby" with my english accent. Say it with me, "Have a seat on the Naughty Mat". I've finished the pdf pattern for it, as well as you can get a kit with all the necessary parts and pieces to make one y
ourself. We have a darling girl version and a cute retro boy version. I like it because you don't have to wait for a machine quilter. You can tie it yourself with these cute little fabric knots. Hence, the name, KNOTTY BABY. And if you're lucky, you can just buy the pre-made sample for the SAME PRICE as the kit. We want to get these samples moving out the door!
Last but not least in our Ketchup Department, since we're new and basically Corrie and I are the only ones reading this, we did still want to give out a prize. So on Thursday, we drew from the large number posts, we recieved (3) and the quilting nurse is a winner!!!! She is receiving a lovely charm pack of Urban Indigo. In order to be a lucky winner next Thursday, start posting to us!! Post through next Thursday. Tell us something interesting! Well, I now need to "ketchup" with my housework. I think I'll wear red. ~Des
O.K. you forced me to do it...I'll post instead of just stalking, I mean reading. Love you ebay shop and the name Knotty Baby is just too cute.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love a brave soul! Way to go Michael Ann! I'm such a blog stalker, that I totally relate. But hey, if you're really lucky, no one else will post and you can be a WINNER! Watch and see. Thanks for posting. Des
ReplyDeleteI love the knotty baby quilts! So cute tied with the fabric strips! Congrats on getting the pattern finished.
ReplyDeleteok ok I also love the Knotty Baby espically in the English accent form. Keep all the great stuff coming your blog site is beautiful I love it. Thanks for the little bit of spring since I'm sitting home in cold Idaho when 3/4 of my neighborhood is in Mexico on spring break. Think I'll go see if golf is on TV so I can see warm and green. Thanks shelto
ReplyDeleteLOVE the knotty baby quilt. I have NEVER quilted before, but am interested in learning. Is this a good beginner one? I know you said it is, but is it really?
ReplyDeletemarievilla: It is a good beginner. I like it mostly because it's pretty forgiving. You don't have to line up and match things perfectly. And then it's raggy so you don't have to fuss there either! You do need to have rotary cutting supplies though, to understand the directions. If you have a mat, rotary cutter and a ruler, then you are good to go. Or if you're just really crafty, all you're doing is cutting out rectangles and sewing them on bigger rectangles, so maybe you don't need rotary stuff. The tying is super easy as well. All directions are there for you, with pictures. PLUS, I'm happy to help you if you get stuck! Good Luck. Des
