My Quilt is Featured in a Banner!

Yes, that is right!  Besides  being my blog banner above, this coin quilt that I made a couple of years ago for my niece’s new baby girl, Norah, is included with three others on Madame Samm’s blog, Sew We Quilt @ Stash Manicure.   (It’s just coincidence that this quilt has been my banner on my blog for the last month. I receive so many comments on it, I decided to place it there for awhile so others could enjoy it as well!)
I was so honored when Madame Samm asked me if it was alright if she used my quilt! And speaking of Madame Samm, have you visited her blog?  She features different quilters and their wonderful quilts each month, has some ‘out of this world’ giveaways, tutorials and everything quilting!  You would absolutely love it!  So please, click right over there and check it out! You can find a link on both sides of my page (sorry but wordpress didn’t want me to put any links in my article this time!)
Thanks so much for looking!
Update:  I think that the links should work now!!  Thank you!

Featured Etsy Shop – Patchwork Trails

At least once a week I will be featuring an Etsy shop here on my blog.  Being an Etsy seller myself, I know how hard it is to get traffic to stop by and see your shop.  I feel that we should all support each other, we are all in this together!  There are so many wonderful handmade items and shops out there, I am sure that you will find some wonderful new products for yourself or for gifts. All that you have to do to be featured here is become a fan on my The Stitchin’ Chicken Etsy shop on Facebook!

The first shop that I am featuring this week is Terri Wilhelm’s Etsy shop – Patchwork Trails.  Terri opened her shop in July 2009.

Her  shop specializes in quilted gear that she makes to use for a day on the trail!  But her special items are not just for the trail. They are for shopping, a picnic, or just relaxing in the yard!  Terri uses  the outdoors for her inspiration.  The things that she makes are bright, fun, and cheerful quilted items.

She has recently added several new items that will make you think that spring is already here (especially if you are back in the snow!!  brrrrr!)

She has pillows (this is so adorable!):

String Pillow

new makeup bags (such a wonderful variety of colors!):

Makeup Bags

shopping totes (get ready for those farmers markets!):

a techie bag/zipper bag:

She has many more items, you just have to see for yourself!  You can see from these pictures of her goodies, that she loves to use color!  Terri will also do custom orders.  So if you see something that you like, but would like a different color, just contact her through her Etsy shop, Patchwork Trails.

Terri also has a wonderful blog, Terri’s Notebook, where she shares some tutorials, recipes for some yummy food, and a lot of the projects that she is working on.

She’s such an inspiration, whether she is sewing something for an online swap, or showing you some new goodies that she is adding to her shop. I hope you stop by and visit Patchwork Trails soon!

Again, you can find Terri at these links:
