I wanted to do a giveaway for my 100th post, but I noticed that my last post was actually the 100th, I had forgotten to count the one post I did in 2007. OOPS. Also, Blogger says I have done 105 posts. I don't know how that is, but this is why I don't teach math. LOL. This would never happen to Amy. I am having a giveaway anyway! I shouldn't punish my readers for my inability to add. What about this cute St. Valentine's Day fabric? I uncovered it during my recent efforts at clearing out the quilt studio. I think that, with St. Valentine's Day coming up, this would be a perfect giveaway item. There will be about a yard and a half of it (I can't stand to give it all away - I am keeping a yard.) I will also include a small, handmade (by me) item. So, if you comment on this post you are entered in the giveaway. If you are one of my "Followers" (in my sidebar) you get entered twice. I will draw the name of the winner in two weeks, January 21st!!
Some of you may know that I have been working on organizing my quilt studio (sewing room LOL.) Above is showing some of the progress I have made. I put some of my sewing machine collection on the top shelf. I have THREE Featherweights!!
This photo is the table I am working on as I fold and sort the smaller pieces of fabric.
This is a good example of what the shelves looked like before I started, only it was worse!! Everything just jumbled together. I would love to get rid of the ugly white paneling in that room. I guess it is better than that dark paneling. At least the white makes the room lighter.I have a friend with a new blog. It would mean so much to me if you would pop over and visit her and leave her a comment. Heck, I will even enter you a third time in my giveaway if you comment on her blog!! Her name is Oma and her blog is Alabama Jasmine. She is a member of my quilt guild and a good friend. She even dug up a pomegranite sapling and gave it to me this past weekend!
Thanks for visiting my blog. Until next time,
Julie

Oh Julie! That fabric is ADORABLE! You bet you can count me in chickie-pooh!
Also---WOW! That's a lot of stash you have. Good for you! to be organizing it so nicely.
Finally---my goodness child! THREE featherweights?!?!!? I guess I just don't "get" what the drive is to buy these machines. (sorry--no offense meant). There is one at our LQS that just showed up last month---I don't know what the price tag says; I didn't bother to look.
Anyway--congrats on 100! I'm darn close to 200 already! These posts sure add up fast!
Happy Tuesday
Amy

Hello Julie,
congratulations to your 100. post.
I wish I would have to clean and fold so much wonderful fabric. If you don't have enough place, feel free to send it to me, I would give the fabric a warm and nice home.

Congrats on the 100th!
I am also having a give away every 4 months for "Con Kerr Cancer" pillow cases. This would make 2 swell kids pillow cases!
Good luck with the organizing!
Such cute material! Would make a darling apron!
Congrats on your 100th post.
Great job reaching 100!!! I would love to be in your give-a-way!
I need to do some organizing also, won't do any good until I get the mystery quilt done. I have fabric everywhere!!!! :D
Oh, count me in for fabric! Not that I need anymore. :) And when you are done organizing your room and fabric, you could always hop on over to my place... :D Well, I guess I will just have to suffer with my mess alone...
Oh, and you can always paint your paneling. I have some dark paneling under a bar that I keep meaning to paint. It will definitely freshen up the room a little.
I wish I was more organised. I am searching for a certain piece of fabric I know is in my stash for Bonnie's mystery and do you think I can find it???
Happy belated 100th!
Julie;
What a great idea...always wished that I could sew..Oh wait I did sew right through my finger nail, twice. I know, doesn't count! A friend of mine in Dayton Ohio is a quilter ..she loves it too. She is building a new house with more room for her quilts and fabrics. After looking at your pictures, I can see why you need room!
Happy 105 anniversary!

Congrats on your 100th post. Very nice fabric. you have a nice site.
Congratulations on your 100th post. Mine is coming up soon too.
Your room looks great & I'm jealous of those 3 featherweights. lol
congratulations Julie. I saw that you were having a giveaway and am so far behind that I thought I'd missed it. I have one featherweight, and it is so cute, but even though I had it serviced I haven't actually sewn on it. I know a lot of people swear by them, but I'm spoiled by technology. Can't beat them for cuteness and I know some people swear by the stitches.
Congratulations on your blogiversary! I think it would be swell if you gave away one of your featherweights! LOL
