I just had to post these for everyone to see. My husband's grandmother, Maryon, made the cutest little vases for her church from 32 oz. coffee creamer bottles. She designed the perfect little fitted aprons to go over each bottle. She even used some of my fabrics... a mix of several different lines. So "green" and so cute! Love them, Grandma Maryon!
Well, we just wrapped up our giveaway when I received a wonderful email from our friend, Marsha Burwash, who was a past winner of our Fresh off the Farm giveaway. I just had to share what she did with her winnings. Check out her blog for all of the details. Thank you for sharing, Marsha! We'd love to get pics from all of you blog-hoppers out there!

Here's a story submitted by Lorrie Stephenson for our Tweet Others with Kindness contest. She did a great job selecting fabrics, and I liked all of the different hearts on her quilt. It seems very fitting for her special friend :o)
Recently a co-worker had a heart attack and had to have bypass surgery. I decided the best way to let her know she was loved, was to make her a lap quilt. The day I delivered the quilt to her, she was in a lot of pain and was very depressed. By the time I left, she not only knew how much she was loved, she had something to curl up with whenever she needs that extra bit of comfort and love. Every quilt I give is a gift from my heart.

I loved hearing all of the stories, lovely quotes, and acts of kindness. Thanks again, everyone.
I thought I would share some pics of some of the Christmas presents my crafty mom made using my fabric!
This first pic is of Janna (left) and Samantha (the ADORABLE one on the right), my step-brother's wife and daughter. How cute are they! Mom used my Tweet Others with Kindness fabric, using a block of the girl hanging the birdhouse from the master panel, on Janna's apron. Then, she used parts of the border stripe fabric to trim the top, and also to trim the top of Samantha's apron, and as a pocket on the bottom. Thanks for modeling, girls!
Here's another pic of the aprons.
Then Mom made an apron for me, using my Fresh off the Farm fabric! She pieced together varied blocks, then added the stripe and stars strip from the master panel to trim the top. She made pockets using two of the animal blocks, also from the master panel. She lined all of the aprons with additional fabric for thickness and durability. She and I both like the extra barrier between ourselves and the liquidy spaghetti sauce that will inevitabley seep through a single layer apron!
Thanks for the apron, Mom! Love ya!
