I've Been A Winner !

Yes Sir...I won 2 giveaways in the last couple of weeks.  Yippee !!

I won a $50.00 gift certificate from Bear Creek Quilting.
This is what I got...
A lovely fat quarter bundle of 30's prints from Robert Kaufman. 

I also ordered some 1/2 yds of their sale fabric.   They even sent me extra on the top fabric because it was the end of the bolt!!! 

Terry's Treasures had a giveaway and I won this little bag.

Cute as a button!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

First Blog Post

http://myplvl.blogspot.com/2014/06/one-year-blogging-anniversary.html 

is have a 'First Blog Post' linky party!!!

Fun idea...and since I haven't been posting much, and not getting many comments...or none at all :( ...maybe linking up will give me a boost!

Here's a pic of my blog's namesake....Margret Mary...

Thanks for stopping...have a wonderful weekend!

My Etsy Shop

Just trying something...

I've been Published!

...sort of

Several months ago I was contacted by the editor of Quilt Trends magazine.  It seems she was writing an article on Texting...and wanted to use blocks of mine she had seen on my blog!

WOW!!!

Unfortunately the pictures are a little dark and my name is spelled wrong.

But what the heck...it is STILL an honor!!!

Here is a close up.  I have posted before about these blocks...

The one on the left is my own design...appliqued.  It is showing a woman so engrossed in texting on her phone that the chain piecing she is doing is flying out the window!

The block on the right is a paper pieced block from a book, don't have it anymore, I embroidered the Sewing While Texting on the fabric she is sewing.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day...Happy Father's Day to all you guys out there!!!

Some bags I've been making...

This isn't the greatest picture, but it shows I HAVE been busy.

  

Our family was all together these past 2 weeks.

I made the girls some zippered pouches (such fun to make).  I also made 2 cell phone cases.  (The pink one is pictured, but I don't have a picture of the Betty Boop one I made for Tina, my daughter).

Also pictured is my BB case, a large beach bag and some zippered pouches I made out of UFO NY Beauty blocks.

I hope to take some pictures today so that I can list some of these items in my Etsy shop.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
