Last Day for Happy Town Giveaway!!!!

Just in case you missed it, I have a great GIVEAWAY going on that ends TODAY!!!  
One sweet Multi-Town Quilt Panel and a fat quarter of ALL 14 coordinating fabrics!!!  
Go HERE now to find out how you can win!
(Note:  make sure you leave comments on THAT post, not this one!)


I finally found some time to play with these sweet fabrics - and I do mean sweeeet!  I LOVE Jacquelynne Steves' happy little designs - they remind me so much of my children's childhood toys :*)   And Henry Glass does a great job in the quality of these fabrics, let me tell you.  They are soft and thick, and they cut like butter!!!  Sewing them together is a breeze.  This is the kind of fabric we all love to sew with :*D

This little Preemie Quilt is the first of many little projects I intend to make with the Happy Town fabrics....

Preemie Quilt with binding applied, but not yet sewn down.

I had agreed to do a Demo on how to correctly apply binding at my Divas Guild yesterday, so I decided to make a little Preemie Quilt for one of our charitable projects that we do at my Music City Guild out of the Happy Town fabric.  I was a happy camper to be accomplishing 3 great goals out of one little project!!!

These little quilts are easily made up - this one measures about 17 inches square, but they can be as small as 12 inches square.  I started out by choosing this happy little yellow print with the dogs & cats....


and cutting out a 12-1/2" inch square .....


then adding some fun borders.... love that stripe!!!

No, I didn't miter the stripe!  This was a "quick" project!  LOL!!!

Then I couldn't resist adding this FUN dots print for the backing!


This was the perfect little quilt sandwich for my binding demo!  
As you can see, it turned out super cute!  :*D

I like to think that some mommy whose little baby is in the Preemie ward will be cheered 
by seeing her little one cuddled up in such a soft, happy quilt!

***********************************

And in case you were wondering where those beautiful blooms from my header came from....


My Valentine's Day flowers from my Sweetie!!!  
Aren't they gorgeous?  I love how they turned the water the same color as the flowers :*)


And he also gave me this Hyacinth bulb!  
I am SO longing for spring, and this will brighten up my sewing studio until I can plant it outside.  Yep, I'd say he did a great job of showing me his love this year, wouldn't you?  
I couldn't ask for a better Valentine =^..^=

Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

Hugs & Blessings!
Teresa

  4. Oh, such a cute little quilt, Teresa. Having had a grandson in the preemie unit for a few weeks just 4 years ago, I know how much these gestures are appreciated. It is such a hard time for parents (and grandparents) and caring actions from any quarter are very heartwarming.
    You had a sweet Valentine's Day, it appears! : )

  5. Adorable... you picked my favorite for the center :-)~ LOVE the smell of hyacinths... I used to have them outside our laundry room window in our old home and just loved cracking that window on a spring afternoon.
