Thank you to all who participated ~ it was great to read about your favorite Christmas fabrics!    Keep checking back, another giveaway will start soon!

Soooo....what can YOU make with cardboard?

How many of you remember the "DOG MANSION" that my son Mitchell (and his friend Justin) made last year?  

CLICK HERE to see the DOG MANSION Post!

Well, it seems the CARDBOARD CREATOR, Mitchell, is at it again!   I didn't realize it was *a year-to-the-day of the Dog Mansion* ~ until I went to load the photos!  How funny is that?!   

Another year....another doghouse......or shall we say, DOG BARN!   Inspiration struck again....Mitchell said this would be a barn......and it had to be red, so I bought him a can of red spray paint.   I didn't know he'd go find white craft paint (we have a ton of colors!) to add the finishing touches.   

{That's Daisy out front.}

{Their names on the roof: 

Daisy, Coco, Pebbles.}



{and paw prints on this side.}

I thought Mitchell's  DOG BARN turned out awesome!    I took the photos outside.....but the barn sits in my office....with the dog bed inside.   And yes, ALL THREE of my Chihuahuas go in there & sleep.   :o)   I love it!

QUILT FEATURE ~ Stablemates!

STABLEMATES is one of the best equestrian lines I've seen!   We could barely keep this line in stock ~ and finally ordered all that we could find when we were told by Spectrix the line was discontinued.

These fabrics make a lovely quilt ~ as you can SEE!   Take a peek at what Nell G. created:

She made this S.P.E.C.T.A.C.U.L.A.R. quilt for a 10 year old girl who looooves horses!   I can only imagine how absolutely THRILLED this sweet girl must be! 

Here is something really special about the quilt....take a closer look at the quilting, it is stitched in the shape of horseshoes:

Clever, very very clever....I LOVE it!

We still have some of this amazing line in stock, you can check out STABLEMATES by SPECTRIX HERE!

QUILT FEATURE ~ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Francis S. shared photos of her  MADE ~ TO ~ P.E.R.F.E.C.T.I.O.N.  Merry Grinchmas Quilt.   Here's a picture:

She is making a Grinch quilt for each of her grand kids for Christmas!   (shhh....don't tell them!   I hope they don't read blogs, haha....cause I wouldn't want to spoil an amazing surprise!)

Here's another photo, where you can see the backing:

A walk down memory lane.....I remember looking forward to watching the Grinch on T.V. each year at Christmas-time!  Remember....before we had DVR,  DVDs or even VHS tapes....we had to WAIT for the show to be broadcast on one of the major networks ~ and set your clock, because if you missed it, there was little chance of seeing it another time.   I loved having a big ole' bowl of popcorn in my hands while watching shows such as the Grinch, Peanuts Christmas, etc.   And the Christmas tree lights were always twinkling in the background.  Great memories!

Want to make your own GRINCH creation?   Check out our GRINCH FABRICS HERE!    PLUS:  we have the FLANNELS on SALE!  (they are PERFECT for backings...soft & cozy!)

DRUMROLLLL Please.....Winners for July Giveaway!

I love this part.....drawing the winners.....and hoping it will put a smile on someone's face today!   We always use random number generator.....it's so simple and easy.  Okay...without further ado.....

PILLOWCASES from MARVEL COMICS!

So what is the "HOT" new fabric according to my 3 teenage boys?   YEP....Camelot Cotton's MARVEL COMICS!

The boys commissioned me to make some pillowcases.    Here they are, in a nice, neat stack.   (I love brand new,  freshly pressed pillowcases....but sadly, I never take the time to press them after the first wash!)

And here's a photo of 2 of the pillowcases.....unfolded a bit, so you can see the fabric choices:

We now have new *favorites* for our pillows tonight!

God Bless Our Troops! ~ Quilt Feature

Mandy R. purchased some of our DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM fabric awhile back ~ she has a dear son who was injured in the line of duty and wanted a quilt made for him.    Her cousin Cherry made this quilt:

The colors and the design are just P.E.R.F.E.C.T.!   Cherry, you are an amazing quilter!

Mandy, we sincerely appreciate your son's service for our Country.   Thank you for sharing a bit of his story with me the evening we talked, it touched me deeply.      I'm sad that he was injured in the line of duty....it brings tears to my eyes.    I hope this fantastic quilt brings him warmth & joy!
