Share-It Tuesday

It’s Share-It Tuesday! What have you been working on?

Not much stitching going on here this week, but I did manage to finish six applique posy needle cases. One I will mail to my swap partner later today and a couple others to friends.

What about you?? What have you been working on?

Weekly Quilt Contest: Miniatures

Congratulations to Marika Szabóné for winning last week’s Flowers quilt contest. Thanks to everyone that entered and took the time to vote. It was a great pleasure to see so many wonderful quilts.

This week’s contest is Miniatures and is sponsored by the Fat Quarter Shop. I am a huge fan of miniature quilts made using traditional patterns.

Fat Quarter Shop

Hello once again Quilting Gallery fans!

What do you think of when someone says miniature? Whatever it is a smaller version of anything is always cuter! That brings along this week’s contest theme, miniatures. The first thought that comes to my mind when I think of miniatures is our 1900s Reproduction Fabrics at Fat Quarter Shop, especially lines like Darlene Zimmerman’s Paper Dolls, Aunt Grace Circle of Friends, and Everything But The Kitchen Sink. So let’s see what kind of miniatures you come up with!

Last week we had a special for Everything but the Kitchen Sink! Watch out for our specials and sales like that by signing up for our newsletter to stay updated! Or, “Like” us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for other easy ways to see shop updates! We have started posting weekly Facebook and Twitter specials you won’t want to miss.

Our prize for the top winner this week is a $50 gift certificate at Fat Quarter Shop! Good luck to everyone!

To enter the weekly contest, read the rules and guidelines, then submit your quilt photo by Thursday evening (EDT). Voting will start on Friday and last until Sunday night.

P.S. A few visitors have indicated that they are not able to see all of the quilts. I’ve been trying to track down this bug, but I need more information. If you are experiencing difficulties, could you please email me or leave a message below. I’ll need to know what type of computer you are using and which browser and the version. I hope to have this solved next week!
