Taffy Talk Giveaway Over

Congrats to Kim D. #101!!
The rainy weather here gives me more time to look at patterns and plan...what I want to make. Going to highlight a few.
~


We've got some great new quilt & tablerunner patterns from Anka's Treasures.


~


Sweet Pea -- fat quarter & fat eighth friendly.


Pretty darn cute. I like that little flower.


For some reason, blogger wants these next two pictures to be really BIG.


We won't need our glasses.


Diamond Diva is strip pieced with raw edge appliqued center diamonds. Aren't you glad we have the big photo? I can almost see the edges.




Fat Quarter & Precut Friendly


It's good to be friendly.



Here's one that's on my list.


Fun little gift.



Heather Bailey's New Leaf Totes.

Also has a little pattern for a sash holder that goes around all of your totes. Pretty spiffy.


Also another new pattern by Barbara Brandeburg -- a follow-up to Sassy Little Apron and Sassy Little Sister's. We have Sassy Plus -- a full-size apron for women with real curves. This one is fast & easy to make.

Today's giveaway is any pattern of your choice up to $10.


To enter the drawing, leave a comment about "what's Around the Corner".
Random drawing later tonight.
