HAPPY HALLOWEEN MAIL!!!</h2>
<div>
Holy Witches Bat Brew!!!!! I walked up to my front door on Wednesday and there is was....a S<b><i>pooktacular </i></b>box with my name on it......it was from my Halloween Tote Swap partner <a href="http://apronvalleyroad.blogspot.com/">Nadine C.!!!! </a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was so excited, I tore open the box and <b><i>WOW,</i></b> Nadine went all out, what a special treat!! The quilted tote is beautifully made and the button embellishments/handles are a perfect added touch! The matching pot holder is too cute! AND.....the goodies/sweet treats are "oh so Boo-rrific" and include matching fabric chunks, chocolate eyeballs, Chocolate bar from Seattle chocolates, a spooky spatula, and a beaded spider that wraps around a wine botte (which is sooooo adorable and hanging now from my favorite bottle of red wine).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thank you so, so much Nadine for your thoughtful and creative Halloween Tote and the goodies! I truly enjoyed being your partner. Wishing you a happy, fun, and "Oh so spooky" Halloween :0)</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Cheers,</div>

I just love the way it turned out!! I laid out the blocks on my design wall and I really did need to focus to make sure all the blocks came together correctly before sewing. Once I got started and I could see the pattern come together, I fell in love with it! I cannot wait to make another one using other holiday prints. I used the Moda's Christmas Past fabric for the blocks/ backing and other Moda fabric in coordinating colors for the borders/binding.<br /><br />Cannot wait to see what the November pattern will be =)<br /><br />Cheers!<br />Sweettata<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPwPkz9RZmoqMkVRxSXUpePIR6J3Idi1vyMal9f3bAx6MKkUMzb_pfpgiOO_EzeMRj0SBXzL07snL7PcQfSjr3xQilj8O3U00LxxpQwTgkchgBhJLnUYJ2HI4u6LD79fzToGvu-yy2jw2i/s1600-h/IMG_0375.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPwPkz9RZmoqMkVRxSXUpePIR6J3Idi1vyMal9f3bAx6MKkUMzb_pfpgiOO_EzeMRj0SBXzL07snL7PcQfSjr3xQilj8O3U00LxxpQwTgkchgBhJLnUYJ2HI4u6LD79fzToGvu-yy2jw2i/s200/IMG_0375.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398565915011792930" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilWuQXEmNVbq_hx6f0LwRiFhYG75FSeZSTCnlaz3ZNPx_ijMKXUmLSSC8Qz3fHA4W8QDIvl_LlweNE4BLLilcw0cWseyfB9-D_I8COENEdRGbmu82cx-ZINHady0QYxEI7MfihrKpy7dBn/s1600-h/IMG_0378.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 196px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilWuQXEmNVbq_hx6f0LwRiFhYG75FSeZSTCnlaz3ZNPx_ijMKXUmLSSC8Qz3fHA4W8QDIvl_LlweNE4BLLilcw0cWseyfB9-D_I8COENEdRGbmu82cx-ZINHady0QYxEI7MfihrKpy7dBn/s200/IMG_0378.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398565028376351826" border="0" /></a>Lanettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16034874032123735509noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266981056090542191.post-25125589139899335972009-10-12T16:07:00.000-07:002009-10-12T16:17:23.697-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTcGqSzlj3Q8kRPMC_fxwkfSReKLranfmgEwot94SF5tV-5Ht1_YKfGdkxMn__n2-JZxH9lUAjAhGwLDgzTgDOfuOaGvQYnVHL1aT4TTZxdji1CpFc83YY9hhUlNGZhrk9kP99SpqvBvea/s1600-h/Dresden+Plate+Charger.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 189px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTcGqSzlj3Q8kRPMC_fxwkfSReKLranfmgEwot94SF5tV-5Ht1_YKfGdkxMn__n2-JZxH9lUAjAhGwLDgzTgDOfuOaGvQYnVHL1aT4TTZxdji1CpFc83YY9hhUlNGZhrk9kP99SpqvBvea/s200/Dresden+Plate+Charger.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391856056736354098" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Fall Giveaway - Dresden Plate</span></span><br />Check out the great giveaway that Kim at <a style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" href="http://bittybitsandpieces.blogspot.com/">Bitty Bits & Pieces</a> is offering.

I used Moda/Portobello Market fabric. I just love the outcome, colors and pattern they are so beautiful (my photo does not really show off the true colors/pattern well). I will post another picture of the finished quilt soon.<br /><br />In July, I went to the Merry-Go-Round Summer Quilt Camp 2009 in Laughlin with my sister Kim at <a href="http://creatingbythelake.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Creating By The Lake</span></a> and her quilting friends from The Havasu Quilters Guild (these gals are a hoot). This pattern was featured in the 2008 October McCalls Quilting Magazine - it was a great project for the summer camp. I decided to make a larger version of the quilt pattern and I am so glad I did! I think and I <span style="font-style: italic;">must</span> whip up another smaller sized Merry-Go-Round quilt using some 1930s fabric =0)<br /><br />I cannot wait to see what what surprises are in store for quilt camp 2010!!<br /><br />Cheers!<br />Sweettata<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7f4izBn8hA_bC-l9lmt_tm_u9FmvJRwJ7kimnGAyNjrz4OP9mAp-Nvvock2vz2BvjwFmPuUrt86uMRFGWVwyRUayyU1g5pLC9KAMN0KG-m9tg-JOiLhLXtBrlEMuVx9_y4V7NNeggV4XW/s1600-h/IMG_0284.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7f4izBn8hA_bC-l9lmt_tm_u9FmvJRwJ7kimnGAyNjrz4OP9mAp-Nvvock2vz2BvjwFmPuUrt86uMRFGWVwyRUayyU1g5pLC9KAMN0KG-m9tg-JOiLhLXtBrlEMuVx9_y4V7NNeggV4XW/s320/IMG_0284.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382188282778067010" border="0" /></a>Lanettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16034874032123735509noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266981056090542191.post-39194472449815422892009-09-16T05:41:00.000-07:002009-09-16T07:12:12.711-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://gumtreedesigners.blogspot.com/?zx=e3de1c73628b3744"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 154px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig9XsGunA5EZqVUeAvUVW_iueb_ngRNLBgR1CXzHOZUOLe_QsqUxNIARtjbL35lnNwz58376CAINnPNtLgjVbRcxA0YkPOVeBSGk1SJSJkqmsPUo4DJmU9EP1aSP7ndRC01PpPSxHGC_Sk/s320/among+the+gum+trees+frame-1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382045681277167314" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> " GUM NUT DESIGNERS"</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Giveaway!</span><br />Check out this awesome group of bloggers<br />and their very generous giveaway - so much fun!!Lanettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16034874032123735509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266981056090542191.post-31872421777975291802009-08-22T15:44:00.000-07:002009-08-22T15:49:58.199-07:00<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Giveway - Quilt & Quilt Things</span></span><br />Check out <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://quiltfever3.blogspot.com/">Quilt & Quilts Things</a> great giveaway - Regina is having a drawing for a great selection of items, including an adorable quilt!!Lanettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16034874032123735509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266981056090542191.post-80888637153258757272009-08-04T16:36:00.001-07:002009-08-05T16:18:39.441-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgculh59v8MHw5yiwUxcZLZs6hnFSVL9-wKoI3wPT9zzkyKA-CTqjhFIGyeBl-ar9FtVdB63kVh5qtAmRtbHFyJcJZztJZfn20RAtDVpzTfVBP9t4nyEq9f7WeGQkxojUa6SDM9N6VE9OpL/s1600-h/IMG_0178-1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgculh59v8MHw5yiwUxcZLZs6hnFSVL9-wKoI3wPT9zzkyKA-CTqjhFIGyeBl-ar9FtVdB63kVh5qtAmRtbHFyJcJZztJZfn20RAtDVpzTfVBP9t4nyEq9f7WeGQkxojUa6SDM9N6VE9OpL/s320/IMG_0178-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366258725371996546" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBBFFdRge9YgBKklfpkmEzWT3Wz4SIyOc19cuX7rNEGoBxqvdx4bcpfdoMy9-UcB7_dBVzFbgC9WGvwrv_U7L3t21Wb9BWDiTEC4ls8beEENnXWVIVW6sAu6aSZlKtyFIGnZ6vukDBgTRd/s1600-h/P1010071.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 246px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBBFFdRge9YgBKklfpkmEzWT3Wz4SIyOc19cuX7rNEGoBxqvdx4bcpfdoMy9-UcB7_dBVzFbgC9WGvwrv_U7L3t21Wb9BWDiTEC4ls8beEENnXWVIVW6sAu6aSZlKtyFIGnZ6vukDBgTRd/s320/P1010071.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366258472962503778" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">New Addition To The Family!</span></span><br /><br />I just have to share my new addition to our family....Lil Buddy!!!

The package was filled with goodies that made me feel like I was right there with her in Hawaii. The handmade items are wonderful (fabric covered coaster, pincushion) and the felt cupcake embroidery tags are the perfect touch to the wrapping. Leona's <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">granddaughter</span> even <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">participated</span> by making a embroidery cupcake panel that was used to make the lovely red tote bag.<br /><br />Leona also sent me a turtle applique pot holder kit, two beautiful tapestry panels, and some batik butterfly themed fabrics; I cannot wait to get creative!
