Winner with Suzy

Today is BEAUTIFUL!! The sun is shining the birds are singing!! And we had a great time at shop hop!! :) The fabric was ever so adorable and flew out the windows (catch my joke!?) hehe!

We had two pictures taken with me during shop hop of some gorgeous ladies, having so much fun, here they are.......

Like I said before shop hop if you took a picture with me a posted it on Tangled Threads facebook page you'd be entered into a drawing for a good prize!

WW Shop Hop 2012

Western Washington Shop Hop 2012

Yippee!! Time has come! Sharylann's hubby is setting up the tent! My ladies (and some gentlemen) are going to start coming in full force tomorrow! :)
I can't wait.  This is the time of year I get most of my visitors. By the way I get to be the first to show you the fabric!! :) Oh I love it.

And look at the birdies up close......

What do you think?? A little blury I know but when you have to take the picture from outside the window this is the best you can do!!

So I am running my own contest of the week! I am going to say if anyone takes a picture with me during Shop Hop (June 20-24) and posts it on to Tangled Threads Quilt Shop's facebook page you will be entered into a drawing for a basket full of goodies!! :) So smile up and let me give you a hug! :)

Oooo I just can't wait to see all you happy people!!

One Week Left......

Do you know that one of my favorite times of the year is coming up?

No, it isn't my birthday, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentines Day or any other holiday. It is the SHOP HOP!!! Yipee, that is when I get to see so many happy, busy people! Some dash out of there car get a stamp and back in they go.... others get there stamp and shop! It  is so much fun! Especially because I love to people watch.  And some of the purses or bags these ladies carry are so stinkin' cute!! And they made them. WESTERN WASHINGTON SHOP HOP 2012 starts next week Thursday June 21 and goes through June 24.

The week before always seems to be a little busy getting things ready for Shop Hop.  There are always people coming in and out helping with various projects... Sharylann even tried to get me to paint.... lucky for me I can't come indoors!! :) I'm allergic to painting! There you know something else about me.

So last night somehow Thelma and Sharylann got a whole herd of people to help put together their block kits! What awesome friends! And look they all look pretty happy.

Don't you think? Wait, I even see Keith (Sharylann's husband) oh boy! Did you know that there are some ladies that actually want him to pick out their fabric?? It's true! And I've heard they come back looking just for him!

So you all better be planning and coming on the Western Washington Shop Hop 2012! I saw the fabric and it is CUTE!! Way better (I think) this year than it has been in the past years!! You can use it for all kinds of other projects not just the shop hop quilt!

Can't wait to see you! Oh and remember I LOVE to get my picture taken! :)

Ruffles, Ruffles!!

It's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring.......

You know there is something about rain, yes, it does make you want to stay inside curl up, stay warm or maybe do some baking! But how about making a fun easy project on your sewing machine!?  Have you heard about Thangled Threads ruffles? Oh, they are great!

This ruffle fabric I love! Sometimes you just need a little pizzaz to your outfit and you just don't know what to add. The necklace doesn't look right or it is chilly outside. And what fun! They have these scarf kits that NO JOKE take only one seam! Nothing else you can make these in less than 5minutes flat! I know someone who even made them for all her sisters and sister-in-laws!! What a great idea! :)

And what about this cute little dress?  You just buy a shirt that you like then match it with  a ruffle fabric and sew it on the bottom.... Sharylann can tell you how!! But I know my adopted grand daughter LOVES it!! And how easy!

So what do you think?? I think you need to come have a "sew day" during this rain... unless of course you are somewhere that is super nice and sunny then you need a "sew day" out of the heat! You don't want to get sun burned! :)

Happy Monday!

Boy oh boy could someone bring an umbrella? I am not a fan of getting my hair wet. Could we order a dose of sunshine? Sorry I don't mean to complain I guess that is what we get in beautiful Washington! So I survived the weekend holding down the shop while Thelma and Sharylann had a busy weekend. Thelma had a great time at the Quilt show in Sedro Wooley, and Sharylann took care of her grand kids! So I am sure if you stop by the coffee will be on and you could share a cup with them in between the yawns. I am just glad there are no zzzzzzzzzzzz's coming out the door! I do a lot of thinking sitting out front, well standing to be totally truthful. I love cake! And lately I have wondered a lot about red velvet cake. Why does it have to be red? Could you make let's say green velvet? Or blue velvet? Would itmtastemthe same? Or do you think your mind would play a trick on you and it wouldn't taste as good? Just thinking. Another thought. If it is April showers bring May flowers, what does May bring June? Sunshine? Maybe if you weren't in lynden! Or brings mJune berries? That is a good one. Oh man, when the breeze is just right you can smell the sweet smell of strawberries.....yummy! Well that is enough thinking for me......p.s did you know I love my picture to be taken! Especially with others!
