Yep, two things today, you lucky peeps. And hey, I remembered it was Monday! Congratulations again to Ramona, who won the flying geese yesterday - well done & I hope you enjoy them. This week's treats are a set of bookcase blocks - these are from a swap, and there's nothing at all wrong with them except that I just no longer want to make a bookcase quilt. There are 12 blocks in total - shown here are six. The blocks were mostly paper-pieced, but the paper is off except for two - one of which is still in its three component pieces. Still, a nice start to a bookcase quilt, if you want to make one. I forget the precise size, but I think they are about 8 inches high by maybe 12 wide. In those regions, anyway.
And the other thing, which I actually fished back out of the bin in my sewing room today when I was organising, is this large handful of large beads and bits of jewelry which I have had for a LONG time, but which are simply too big to be of any use to me. To give an idea of scale, the large pink bead in centre is about 1.5" in diameter and about 3/4" thick.
If you are interested in either (or both) item, leave a comment on this post before Sunday (specify which thing if you only want one). I will draw two winners on Sunday and announce them on the blog. Watch (as they say) this space!

Please enter me for the bookcase quilt blocks. That is too kewl! Have a quilt-y week. :)
Your bookcase blocks are gorgeous - there's a wall in my library just crying out for them:)
Hi Kate -
please enter me in the drawing for the bookcase blocks. Even though I didn't win the flying geese (that I really really wanted LOL) I still wanna play :)
Just wanted to say thanks (but let someone else win this week). Thanks again.
Oooh - I want to win the bookcase blocks... or the beads... either one really. BUT I have just the place for the bookcase blocks! Emily
I would LOVE those buttons!
Ok, I really, really want the bookcase blocks. Have I ever mentioned my mother is a librarian? Um, and I'm an ENGLISH major?? Hello...reading is a natural here!
Oh, yeah, actually, enter me in any giveaway -- I'm just like that!
I would love to be in the drawing for the bookcase blocks. I haven't done anything with my blocks from the swap, as I felt I needed more blocks. whine whine whine, Colene
Hi Kete,
I came here from Ramona's blog where she was showing off her flying geese win.
I would like to enter for the bookcase quilt blocks too. I've never seen them before and since I'm a book lover with thousands of books, I could not think of a better quilt.
regards

I mean Kate, I see I can't spell. Sorry
add me to the list, please.

Is it too cheeky to ask to be entered in another draw? If yes, don't worry! If not, can I be entered for the bookcase block draw please. Thanks :)
Oh, this is so fun. I am interested in the books. I work in a library and love books!

This is so fun. I work in a library and would love a new book in fabric! Liz Swinney
well I will cheekily keep trying! I know just the person for those book blocks...
Caroline
Oh enter me for the bookcase blocks please! I love them! Those beads are awesome but I haven't ventured into much other than fabric yet lol.
Hello Kate,
You have been busy! I really like the landscape card. I have just read an issue of the Quilters Newsletter and there is a workshop on landscape postcards and yours remind me of the cards...they were done by Caroline Reardon...you and her seem to use a lot of the same techniques of using the machine to threadpaint.
Of course you can put me into either draw if I can be in both ;)...but the bookcase blocks are my first choice. You are very generous Kate.
Later
Peggy
Wow you have so many entries already, but you have to be in it to win it so they say. I'd love to be entered please Kate :)
I'm a quilter who loves to read, getting into beading. Does that qualify me for both giveaways? :)
No seriously - I love the bookend squares!
Susan
I would love to have a go at the bookcase too, looks like you've made some very popular blocks there. I hope whoever gets them will post the finished bookcase, I can see so many options for it. Fun fun fun.
