Lucy's big day & a giveaway!

I have received some lovely pics from Amanda (Lucy's Mum) of Lucy's big day. Her 1st Birthday party.

As mentioned in my last post Amanda adores Ladybirds and has just completed my "Ladybirds on Patrol" quilt for little Lucy for her birthday. She also threw a big party for her with a Ladybird theme. Here's a few pics of the day!

We have to start with the Birthday Girl! Can you see the little button on Lucy's sweater?? A little ladybird......awwwwwwwwwwe so cute!! And isn't Lucy just so adorable!! 8-)

 

And by the looks of things the party had a major invasion of ladybirds! They look so delicious.

 

And the best part of the celebration is.....of course........THE BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!!! 8-) YAY...

 

It's all just too yummy for words. I want some...hang on....need some of that cake! LOL Amanda tells me that everyone had to come dressed in red and black. I LOVE IT!!

I told her that if I lived closer that I was going to crash the party. Perfect opportunity for me to wear MY ladybird outfit! LOL

Hope your day was spectacular Lucy! x and thanks for sharing Amanda x

As you have probably read on other blogs we have an AQM - Australian Quilt Market (trade show) coming up in 2 weeks and we are all madly stitching up some new designs. I have a sneeky peeky of one of mine to share. Thought you might like to get your thinking caps on!

 

I have used the gorgeous fabrics "Birdie" by Me & my sister for Moda. This is the same range I used in Slumber Party. The very bubbly Robyen from Country Pickin's at the Corner was generous enough to give them to me. Thanks Robyen, hope you like what I have done!

Now I have a giveaway for you all. With Christmas not that far away I thought it would be nice to run a giveaway of my "Christmas Jingles" toy bags pattern. I have 3 to share. Are you all madly stitching away for Christmas?? Have you started or even completed your Chrissy shopping?? Was that a NO to both questions??.........Oh I have a YES! Well I am with you in that department as well, so maybe stitching one of my toy bags may inspire you to get with your chrissy shopping hey!!

 

Just leave a comment on this post to be apart of the giveaway. I share call upon the random number generator in a week to see who the 3 lucky winners are.

Until next time........

Get your jingles into gear in Stitches

How nice with a Ladybug party for a little girl!
I love the bags and I'd like to have a chance to win. Maybe, just maybe, I'd be able to stitch some bags in time for Christmas. Or it will be for next Christmas.

Just wondering what the black dots are on the tomato ladybirds??? my children said black food colouring and icing sugar....mmm... interesting combination!

We had lots of fun with halloween cookies - but not a ladybird in sight.

Hmmm, perhaps I should start thinking about Christmas, because it's already November... But your Christmas Jingles are very inspiring, so perhaps that would be a good start for me ^_^ So please count me in...

[Nancy]

Oh, I've done NOTHING for Christmas yet... maybe this giveaway will give me a jump start?

The lady bug party theme is just too cute! I love the cake and other goodies, and having everyone dress in red and black is a nice touch.
