What beats the winter blues better than cuddling up under an old worn quilt? How about making a brand new quilt? I LOVE piecing quilts in the wintertime...and quilting them...well, we'll save that discussion for another day. Let's just say, I love to piece, I like to hand quilt, but I haven't quite gotten the hang of machine quilting!?!?!?
Anyway, today, I'd like to tell you about a friend of mine, Kimberly Crenshaw of Divine Inspirations! Kimberly designs beautiful patterns resulting in stunning quilts! Her pattern instructions are well written and easy to follow. She includes clear diagrams in full color and generally designs with precut fabrics in mind (jelly rolls, layer cakes, charms, etc.), making construction quick and easy. Kimberly even lets you know when it's a good time to stop and take a break!
Currently, Kimberly is also putting together a table runner series featuring puppies. She would like to donate a percentage of the proceeds to an animal shelter! Please visit Kimberly Crenshaw's Divine Inspirations Facebook Page or Etsy Shop for more information about these amazing patterns! And...Kimberly is releasing a new pattern this summer and it's one you'll definitely want to make for the holidays!
And now, what you've all been waiting for...
Kimberly and I have put together a giveaway for one lucky reader: these 2 fabulous patterns by Kimberly Crenshaw's Divine Inspirations plus a free shipping coupon to her Etsy Shop!
And...three additional readers will also win free shipping coupons to Kimberly's Etsy Shop!

Right now I am making a king size scrappy trip along quilt, I just finished the top of a granny square quilt for my niece, I now need to baste and quilt it, For my prayer quilt ministry at church we are hand quilting another granny square for a lady at our church, and I need to machine quilt a pinwheel throw for a little girl with cerebral palsy. I also just made a barn block from Bee in My Bonnet. I need to finish some things before starting anything else new! LOL missysaprons@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteQuilts are on hold at my house as I am sewing winter PJ pants for my toilet training 2 1/2 year old. It is Autumn here and I think a few extra pants for PJs would be wise. When I finish that I am trying to make about 40 dolls to go to an orphanage in Thailand and a couple of Dolls for a Doll drive we are having for the Children's wards of hospitals here in Australia. After that I live in hope I will one day finish my first quilt maybe this winter sitting by the heater watching TV it might happen after little miss has gone to bed :)
