Sew Mama Sew Give Away

Hello and if this is your first time here...welcome! I am a quilter who is obsessed with my dog, named Duke.

I am so happy to be participating in the Sew Mama Sew Give Away!
I'll keep it short today and as usual, provide lots of pics! I missed out on this Give Away last year so I'm giving double the prizes. :-D International entries are welcome.

Who doesn't love Anna Maria Horner? I'm sharing with you 6 fat 8th cuts of my treasured AMH fabric! Then for some fresh, red, yellow and lime fun, I am giving away a quilted fabric bin (maybe for your scraps? or as a gift bag? put a bottle of wine in it with a big bow? fill it with your notions?) and a flower pin cushion that I made using an AMH free flower pin cushion pattern on her blog. Want to make one, too? I'm giving you more of the fruit fabric and some Kona solid charm squares in red and yellow. Also a 1/4 yard of flannel in green and white. Oh and 3 yards of huge lime green Ric-Rack!

To enter:
1. Please follow my blog or let me know you already follow and leave me a comment letting me know.

2. For a second chance, make up a caption for what you believe Duke may be thinking in his photo below.

Random generator will choose a comment number on December 8th! Please enter by December 7th.

Good luck and thanks for stopping by!

Fabric Baskets

It's been a low key, relaxing holiday with my family. Mitch is home from college and it's been so nice to have him around. He and I did some late night Homeland watching ~ I think I've got him hooked!

I took a little sewing and IG/blog break but now I'm back sewing for the upcoming craft fair. Thanks to a great tutorial from Film in the Fridge, I made a set of fabric baskets today. I love them!

I made Mitch a belated birthday cake and thought I'd share the recipe. It is So simple, everyone must try this!

One box mix of angel food cake mix. One reg sized can of crushed pineapple. That's it! Don't add the egg or oil. Don't drain the can. I baked it in my bunt pan. Then I mixed up a quick thin icing to drizzle over it. I even got "all fancy" and made an "M" on the plate. :-D. The icing has butter, powdered sugar, milk and a little cream cheese. I added "tardis blue" sprinkles on top.

Duke is still in his bow tie. It's held up well, and he has received many compliments on it. Time to make a red and green one, I'd say!
