Unique Quilt Block Challenge

Thought i would share some pictures of some of the unique blocks we are working on in our Quilt Block Challenge. This is a free club, you can join us at any time. Basically, we are making blocks from 1 1/2" strips and 1 1/2" squares. So far we have 20 new blocks, what's unique about these blocks is they have all been changed mathematically to make them come out to 5.5 x 7.5. As you know, most traditional quilt blocks are built on a square. These are elongated, and offer some new options in designing quilts, which is always fun. If you are interested, you can still sign up, it is a Facebook Group and it is called Unique Quilt Block Challenge. Go there and indicate you would like to join and I will approve you and check out what we have been doing. Here are some pictures of some of the blocks we have done.


Check out the FB page to see others.Happy Stitching!

Scrappy





  I have to introduce you to my new puppy. He is named "Scrappy" for obvious reasons! He is 10 months old. We have bonded already, and he has shown us his tenacity, and it is a lot more than this grandma has! He will have to learn my ways as he gets older.
Also sharing a completed pillow that I made from the Pre-printed name that was embroidered in the center. This is not the best picture, but I think you get the idea.


Happy Stitching! Carol

First of all I want to say Thank you to all our wonderful customers, so many of you have been with us from Day 1, which by the way will be 15 years next year. The time has gone quickly, but it has been enjoyable as we have met so many fine people across the nation and also some International. For anyone joining our customer list please put in your birth date, because we now have the capability to automatically send you out a Birthday Coupon for 20% off, however if you have not included your birthday in your registration, you will not receive the coupon. If you have been with us for a while, you can go back and add your birth date. So that is good news!
We also have another coupon that we include in every order we ship out. It is called theFriendship CouponActually you receive two coupons in your order, and the second one is for you to share with a friend! That way she/he will also get a coupon! Read the coupon, it has a code you need to put in when you order in order to get your 20% off.
Pre-printed Services: This is a new service we are just starting, To find out about this service go to the middle of our page where it says pre-printed services to find out all about it. When you click on the picture, it will take you to a PDF that explains more about this service.

New Service At Chickadee Hollow Designs

 Hello! I hope everybody  is taking advantage of this gray, cloudy day and in their sewing rooms just stitching away! I am excited to tell you about a new service that we are starting at Chickadee Hollow Designs. We are offering Pre-printed Services for items to hand embroider. We haven't got a lot of samples yet but I do have one that I will share with you. These are intended to be Hand Embroidered or painted/colored and quilted. We will have all the details available shortly, but you can give us a call now and ask questions if you like. These will have to be ordered over the phone, so that we can get the information you want printed exactly. 320-354-2456
Also wanted to share with you a pillow that I made using one of the Vintage Basket embroidery design. There are four Vintage Basket designs on our website,Chickadee Hollow Designs on the Hand Embroidery page.
And one last pillow, I was working on this when my sewing partner Ginger passed away, so I dedicated it to her.
I also wanted to mention we have a Quilt block challenge going on that is free and you can join us at any time. If you are interested you can go to FB and search Unique Quilt Block Challenge and sign up if you want to join, like I said it is free and you can download the PDF's after you join for each block. The PDF's are not to be shared with others as I plan to make a book of all of them when we are finished.
And, we are starting a Scrappers Club that you can read all about on our website. Starts Oct. 15th, so check it out.
So what are you all working on, would love to see and hear.

Happy Stitching! Carol
