Blog Hop and a Giveaway Too!

Do you know how much fun it is to meet a fellow blogger that you have been 'online friends' with? I had this opportunity at our local quilt show when this young woman came up to me and introduced herself.  Well, it was so exciting to meet Sarah Vee and she is so talented and sweet that I am just thrilled to be hosting part of her blog hop!

Sarah has this fun site called Sew Joy Creations. Here you can see all her cute patterns.
Right now she is having a sale of a special compilation of all of her patterns so far, called "Sew JOY Patterns (Sew Far!)" for $25 from July 25 - July 31.

 

 

It doesn't stop there, she is also giving away one copy of the compilation.

The link for the giveaway post is here.

  

Guess what?  I get to host a giveaway of her pattern "Primitive JOY" which includes directions to make the wallhanging with the tree or a tabletopper (where you could feature a holiday print).

Sarah just redid this pattern in red and white Christmas fabric and added directions to the pattern in how to use selvages to make the tree. All you have to do is leave me a comment! I will draw a name on July 31st!

 

She is also hosting giveaways of individual patterns on her blog each day during the week.

Sarah just doesn't stop quilting! She is also putting out a free charm-friendly placemat pattern this week as well.

Sarah Vee

Imagine my delight when I got to meet my first ever blogger friend!   It happened this past weekend at our local quilt show.   I met Sarah Vee.   She just did the sweetest post about meeting me, and really made me sound great.  

Don't tell her, but I had to borrow her pic of us, as the one on my camera did not make me look good.   My eyes were half shut, I think I gained some weight prior to the photo, my face was bloated, my shoes were undone, and my scarf was tied around my head.   You didn't believe all that did you?  Just trust me when I say I did not look pretty.   I still think the camera added ten pounds.   That or I am slightly delusional about what I actually look like=)

Anyway, I digress.   I got to meet my first ever blogger buddy!  How exciting was that?   I am not the most outgoing individual, but Sarah was so easy to talk to and so very sweet.   

I have been following her blog for quite some time now.  She really is a girl who lives on the adventurous side of quilting.   She is always trying something new, and I mean always.   And she joins all these quilty things and actually finishes them!

So how cool is this magazine?

 

Guess who is in it?  Yes, my friend Sarah!   Can you say wreaking talent galore?

And when you go to her blog, scroll down the side bar, she is featured on the Selvage Blog and is a pattern designer for The Quilt Pattern magazine.

Right now, my favourite quilt on her blog is this one.   Of course there are circles galore in it... but the pattern is actually a bow tie block.   How cool is that?

Go and see what Sarah is up to, and tell her you dropped by.
