Midweek Makers #398

Welcome to Midweek Makers - let's do some sharing!

My share this week is about two recent blogging events, Bloglovin and Blogger. 

First, Bloglovin. For years, this was my favorite blog following service, which has once again started sending a daily blog digest to my inbox. I totally thought this service was dead. Maybe it still is, but it makes me happy to quickly see what my favorite bloggers are up to. Keeping my fingers crossed it continues.

Second, Blogger. Yes, QuiltFabrication is hosted by Blogger, ie Google Domains. Squarespace Domains has formulated an agreement to purchase all Google Domain names, which means my domain name will now be owned by Squarespace. They claim the yearly domain price won't increase, but eventually I'm sure that will change. I'm hoping that that's all that will change. We shall see.

Now onto some happy yellow shares from last week!

From Little Penguin Quilts, yellow blocks for RSC2023,

from DonnaleeQ, some pretty yellow table toppers,

and from Not Afraid of Color, this gorgeous sunflower.

Can't wait to see the shares at this week's party - come link up!

National Dog Day 2023

Welcome all dog lovers! It's National Dog Day, the day to celebrate dogs!

It's also that yearly linky party to share about your dog. So if your post is about dogs, either in fur or fabric, come link up at the bottom of the post. But first, let's get to the giveaways!

Though I don't have dogs of my own, I do have grandpuppies. That would be Po, my son's dog that he got when he was in the Peace Corp in Paraguay, and Tito, his fiance's dog. Aside from being adorable, they are loving and well-trained pups!

In honor of these two, I'm giving away one copy of my Puppy Tales quilt block, complete with bandanas. Just enter via Rafflecopter below.

Because these two are well trained, they are rarely in the dog house. Though, to calm Tito's anxiety when they're away, he spends time in a crate. Probably the indoor version of the dog house. So, to go with these 10" block puppy appliques, here's my Dog House quilt block.

One lucky quilter can win a copy of the Dog House quilt block pattern, which comes in three block sizes: 8", 10", 12". Just enter via Rafflecopter.

And of course, a dog needs a bone to chew on! To complete a dog theme quilt, enter to win this multi-sized Dog Bone pattern using the Rafflecopter below.

The giveaways are open till midnight Thursday, August 31. Please be sure to provide your email so that I can send you the pattern. Good luck everyone - now onto those puppies! Let's see 'em!

Midweek Makers #397

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

First up is a big thank you to everyone for the anniversary wishes. The winner of the Wedding Chapel quilt block was Nancy, who is also celebrating 37 years - congrats!

And I actually did some sewing last week! My back issue was calm enough to allow it, and boy, have I missed creating. Since the National Dog Day linky party is August 26, I thought I'd make a Dog House block to honor the occasion.

The pattern comes in three sizes, 8", 10", and 12", with the 8" and 12" shown above. And they were so easy! Find the Dog House pattern in my Etsy shop, and be sure to stop by on Saturday, August 26 for a chance to win a free copy and warm your heart with puppy pictures.

So let's look at few quilt related pretties from last week's party: 

Patchouli Moon Studios appliqued a lovely balloon on one of her fabulous purses,

Vicki's Crafts and Quilting appliqued an adorable fox onto a t-shirt,

and Den syende himmel made some colorful pin cushions.
