Prizes and Dog Beds

First I want to clearly state that the dog beds are NOT available as a prize. Just want to be clear on that, as I know they would be first pick and Kacy wouldn't like that. But on my day off I made 2 new bed covers for the dog. Yes, I know, I sew for my dog. Bleck.

Now for the real prizes. Wendy and Brooke have their choice from any of the below items. The Threads is #98 Jan 2002, Sewing News is Feb/Mar 2009. The Burda patterns are pretty 1980's. In fact, I'm pretty sure Bea Arthur used 5976, but you might like some of the details. In fact, if you want all 4, they're yours. Otherwise its just sucky. (I warned you). You're not seeing double, there are 2 of V8085. Sizes 6-8-10 is new and uncut. Sizes 12-14-16 is cut but all there (pretty sure, I'm good about that). M 5391 sizes 4-12 has been cut and same conditions apply. M5519 is sizes SX, S, M and is new and uncut. V8365 is sized 6-12, new and uncut. V1041 is new and uncut. That's the list, for now. Except for the Burda patterns, these are just "not me" purchases. The shorts are all too low slung for my BurdaButt, I ended up 2 of the Anne Klein pattern, and the dress just isn't something I would wear. The Burda was a bad Ebay purchase. The mags are duplicates.

And Wendy, you're welcome to use the BB name. Maybe we should start a club? Leave those Vogue behinds behind. I haven't tried the Oct Special, mainly because it didn't have a waist band, but I have some brown twill I just washed up, so I may give it a shot.

And my final shot is my quilt. I'm about 1/2 done with piecing it. All in all, for a first attempt and no instructions directions or clues, I'm darn pleased. Funny, I bought an embroidery machine and the first thing I do with it is make a quilt. Oh well. It happens.
