Stash Report 071314 - Hands 2 Help Giveaway!!

My stash report took a hit this week, but for a good cause!

My name was chosen for a giveaway for participating in the Hands 2 Help Challenge.  If you didn't participate this year I highly recommend it for next.  It was low key, low pressure - just trying to get quilts in the hands of people who need them. I finished a quilt that Little S had started when she was bored and wanted to do something.  It was simple and cheerful.  The hardest part for me was remembering to take a picture before I sent it off.

We were out of town - and incommunicado - when the notice came that my name had been chosen for one of the many giveaways!  Thankfully, I wasn't too late to claim it - a $25 gift certificate from Intrepid Thread.  Another out of town trip kept me from looking over the site and making a decision as to what I wanted.   I had in the back of mind to look for a backing for the Green Cow Quilt, but then I easily found fabric for that in my stash.

Ever since we went to Quilt Fest in Jacksonville, FL last year, Little S has been wanting to make a quilt to enter in the kids category this year.  We have been working on her sewing skills - especially seam allowance.  The Green Cow Quilt backing was her most recent practice piece and she did a great job.  I think she is ready.

Isn't that a cute package?

So finally, Little S and I sat down together and she actually ended up choosing.  She choose from the Fun & Games line by      We ordered on July 3 and she anxiously checked the mail everyday for her "squishy."  On July 7 it was here!!  I was amazed considering it was a long holiday weekend.

Gears, Maze and Spinners!
