Tile Coasters

Blueprint Crafts have a simple method to make coasters using tiles and paper....or I am thinking I could use fabric.

Casserole Cozy Toter

Elisa Beth from Dixie Doodles is sharing a tutorial to make her Cozy Toter for your casserole dishes. Very fashionable for your favourite casserole dish.

Ottobre Designs have a few freebies on their website. In particular they have this Pea Pod bag that is nice made up. A friend recently made one up in red and it looks great...and the Dotted Dream purse.

Strip Pieced Pincushion

Kerry from Very Kerry Berry has a tutorial to make a strip pieced pincushion. Very cute indeed.

Lucky 888 - Crazy8 Winner

What a coincidence for the winner of the Crazy 8 Honey Bun and Turnover to be called "Lucky-1".

Can you believe it? Its kind of amazing that from 357 entries "Lucky-1" is actually somebody I know. "Lucky aka Leanne" really is a deserving winner as she would do anything for anybody and really is a lovely lady. I still cannot believe "Lucky" won!

Congratulations to you Lucky and a big thank you to all the lovely comments from all the lovely readers. Whether you follow this blog or not I appreciate your comments and friendships I have made along the way.

And.....because I love giving I am going to give away one of my own patterns to 8 more lucky people. You get to choose from my Sew Charmed Quilt pattern or my Sling Bag pattern. These will be emailed to you. If you wish to win one of my patterns please jump across to Sew Prim Khris and leave me a comment. I will draw this on the 17th of July seeing that 1 and 7 equals 8. Keeping in line with the lucky 8 theme.

Hugs to all, Khris

Handmade Covered Buttons

Michele from Michele Made Me has a great Tutorial up that could come in handy if you don't have the exact button you need for your craft project, using fabric from your project or a co-ordinating one you would easily be able to make your own. Check it out  here on Michele's blog.

Vintage Tea Cups and Flowers

Sues Tree House has some cute vintage stitcheries to share with everybody. Drop over and grab these cute tea cups and flowers.

Paula has some really cute drawings that you could use for lots of projects. Paula has used these for scrap-booking purposes but they could be used for stitcheries, redwork and embroideries.

Log Cabin Quilt-As-You-Go Quilt

Sew Take A Hike has a tutorial showing how to make a log cabin "quilt-as-you-go" quilt. I don't know how many times I have said I want to do a "quilt-at-you-go" quilt and this could be the one that makes me take the leap.

Wonky Log Cabin Block

John from Quilt Dad has a nice clear tutorial on how to make a wonky log cabin block. I always love the quilts I see around blogland using this block and would love to make a quilt one day.

Sew Along

Kelly is having a Sew Along using a charm pack and a bit of extra fabric....I must say I love using charm packs. Of course you can make your own charm packs by cutting out squares but I really love the ease of just buying a pack and having the variety they offer. Drop over to Kelly's blog and read what you will need to make a great set of bags and accessories. She has listed what you need to get together to start sewing along with her over the next eight weeks.

Pleated Handbag

Warehouse Fabric Inc has a tutorial for a pleated, lined handbag. Another nice bag to add to the list.

Sewing Caddy Tutorial

Love this sewing caddy from Gina at ginabean handmade I think it would make a great gift, check out the pockets on the sides, fill it with a pattern and some fat quarters or maybe some sewing notions, a pretty length of lace and some buttons and you would make a Quilty/Crafting friend or swap buddy really happy.
