I've had it

I have way to much fabric. I've been working on packing up my stash and I have no choice but to admit I have to much. Like way to much. Boxes and boxes and boxes.

Once I've moved this week I'm going to be having both a destash sale and a giveaway. The destash sale will be stupid low prices, basically earning enough for the shipping for the giveaways.

The giveaway? I don't know what yet but it will be a lot of fabric.

Stay tuned!

Another BakeShop project!

I know I haven't been around much lately, we move in 2 days!!!
But I did manage to get another project up on Moda Bake Shop!

I absolutely love this one. I'd appreciate it if you would check it out and leave a comment on the site so they know you like it too! :)

Black Friday

 We don't have Black Friday here in Canada but thanks to online shopping we can get some awesome deals! I've hit several online fabric shops to score some sweet deals!

What about you? Have you done any shopping this weekend? Any Canadians brave the border and go to the States for some shopping? Let's chat!

Talkin' Tuesdays and some more brillance

So has everyone heard, thought of joining, or joined in to our twitter chat (#talknt) Tuesday night?

 If not you have got to this Tuesday evening, tomorrow, for some awesome fun! Fat Quarter Shop is sponsoring and they are giving away some awesome prizes, bigger then we've ever had! Trust me you do not want to miss out, prizes you normally have to look for on blogs as giveaways. Like jelly rolls, charm packs, and gift certificates.
All you have to do is sign into twitter and add me, @caraquilts, and I can help you figure it out! We'll chat quilting, fabric and more!
For those not as familiar with twitter think of it as a big coffee break room. Lots of people, you can go in or out, post a note or have a whole party! And on twitter you can control who's there! No annoying smelly guy! lol
Oh and we have a facebook fan page!

For those saying, I know Cara, I'm already there. It's on the calender (Tuesday Nov 23rd, at 9 EST/6PST).
I have funny news!

I'm such a dork, and so super excited about our move (next week!!!!) that I may have had fabrics sent to the new address. Oops. So now I get to tell the Moda goddesses how dumb I was and hope that I can still get them. Smart huh? Oh and what fabrics you ask? Just these beauties! (no sorry these ones aren't up tomorrow night lol)

My first for sale pattern for Moda will be with Central Park by the amazing, gorgeous, uber-talented Kate Spain!! And you all are going to LOVE this pattern. It's easy, it looks complicated, and you get TWO quilts out of it!!
Assuming I still get the fabrics lol.

Goodies in the Mail!

 Awhile back I won a giveaway from the wonderfully talented Rene Creates! Actually it was two giveaways, one for this beautiful mini quilt, fabric and a pattern. This mini quilt means a lot to me as my mom lost her best friend to breast cancer when I was in high school and it was very devastating to her family, friends, and everyone who knew her.

And the second was for these totally rockin' Tula Pink running shoes!

Rene had bought the wrong size which is very sad for her but turned out so wonderfully for me! I've been drooling over these shoes but couldn't convince myself I deserved them, even though I desperately needed new shoes, so I've been jealous of all those who got them. And lo and behold I end up winning them because I'm one of only 3 who wore a big ol' size 9! Can you say awesome? I know they are because Shane hates them lol.

Candle Mat Swap

I sent of my secret candle mat to my assigned person and I'm so glad I got it done and sent before things get too crazy here with packing.

I had fun quilting this one. I did a lot more on it then I have tried previously and I think it turned out well.
