~about a doll quilt, a mug rug and good etiquette~

My little monster has been quite ill over the weekend. We've been housebound since friday and I can tell you the walls are closing in one me! The silver lining of spending all my time between these four walls is of course sewing! I finished my mini quilt for the Doll Quilt Swap. Here it is all bound and quilted, still in need of a label and a name perhaps? Suggestions are welcome!

I've grown to love this little quilt. It's been quite a challenge to come up with something I hope my partner will like. Judging from the extensive stalking I have done she has quite different tastes from mine. But she, like most of us in the swap, would like for her partner to make something they love. So I tried to do both. A little bit of my likes combined with some things I think she likes...lets hope I didn't get it wrong!
I ended up making something quite different from  my initial idea but I still really wanted to execute the 'ceci n'est pas un coq' quilt. So I made this mug rug. It's pathetic if you're the one laughing hardest at your own joke, I know! But it makes me laugh everytime I see it.

Something completely different; Kat is hosting a series of posts by different guest bloggers Good Etiquette for the Modern Blogger  Today's day two so there's only one day's worth of cathing up, it's very interesting to read!

Give Away Day!

This Give Away is now closed, the winner will be announced tomorrow. Thank you all so very much for playing!

 
It's that time again....Give Away Day hosted by Sew Mama Sew is here- yay!

I can't wait to start browsing through all the blogs that are participating this time round. I love finding new inspiring blogs and getting a chance to win some fabulous goodies to boot :-)

So without further ado {ahem!} Here's what I'm offering up for grabs:

Katie Jump Rope {Mug Rug}

A mug rug made out of 1" hexies in mainly  Katie Jump Rope fabric by Denyse Schmidt{there's one Moda Freebird print in there too} What is a mug rug? you might ask, well it's simple really as you can see, it's a rectangular mini quilt that serves as a coaster for your favorite hot drink with room for something sweet on the side.

With the mug rug you will also win some Katie Jump Rope fabric to play with ~ yay!

I was lucky enough to get hold of some bits of this out of print fabric and want to share some of it with one of you. You will receive one fat quarter of the blue daisies, the rest of the prints are generous sized scraps {approx.8"x 10"} enough for a small project like a mug rug.

To Enter leave me a comment on this post including your email address before December 17th. I would love it if you'd become a follower of my blog, but you don't have to do so to play :-)
Only one entry per person please. I will announce the winner Saturday the 18th.
Good luck!
