New Stuff and a Giveaway

Whew, I am just getting back into the swing of things!   After travelling for the month of May, I seem to be spending most of my time looking at all my new fabrics I purchased at Quilt Market.

It feels like I got a bit from every designer there!   Just kidding=)

I bought a bunch of basics to make fabric covered buttons and then started making jewelery out of them.  I figure if I can't wear a quilt, I can at least wear the fabric.
These are rings, hair clip and a bracelet.  I have also made some earrings but don't have pics of those up yet.   
What do you think?  Be honest... have I gone over the edge, or starting a new trend?

Lastly is another wonderful 3D art quilt I just finished up.   


What do you think?   I have used 4 different techniques in this one.   

And for the giveaway, it is an awesome Thread Catcher pattern from my BFF Candice of Made With Love.  Candice is one of those quilters that is a perfectionist when she quilts.   Every seam matches up perfectly every time.  (Frankly I don't know how we stay friends, every seam of mine rarely matches up every time=) And to boot, she is a sweetie!
Go and check out her Etsy store, she has some terrific patterns and kits.

Thread Catcher - (For those who Sew, Scrapbook, Knit, Crochet, and/or Make Jewelry) - Pink Dazzled with Turquoise Ric Rac

How to Win?   Leave a comment and tell me you follow.   I may just throw in some of my new fabric too=)
Giveaway closes on June 15th, 2012.  Good Luck!

    I love the rings. I've got some fabric covered earrings. They're fun to keep bits of treasured fabric around.

    Yes, I follow your blog - love it! I would love to win the thread catcher - mine is a plastic bag on the wall held there by masking tape - I'm too busy quilting to worry about the wall - hubby has a different opinion!

    Hi Jackie, welcome home, it must be hard to settle down after all your experiences of last few weeks. i enjoyed reading about your trip and seeing pictures of quilt market. I love your new 3D quilt and the new jewelry . I have been a follower for at least a year and what a year it has been for you.

    I personally think that you are not over the edge- if you like wearing your favorite fabrics, go for it! (Of course, this is coming from the girl who cut off a random, wonky strip of fabric and tied it on her arm for a bracelet - yours is a wee bit more refined than that, dont'cha think?!!). I LOVE the bracelet. I think it would make me totally happy to wear something like that :)

    I love the jewelry! I'd definitely wear it when I checking out books to patrons at my library where I volunteer. All your 3D art is eye catching.
    I'll have to do some searches to see how to make the jewelry. In the meantime, the threadcatcher is practical and pretty to look at. Thanks (I'm a follower).
