I have been doing a little around here trying to get motivation back. I finished my April block for the Round Robin Mystery Mini and got it sent off. The May block is also finished (the first person sent it early) but I thought I'd hold onto it for just a bit so the next person isn't overwhelmed.
I also have both kids going to birthday slumber parties tonight so I've been doing some last minute crafting. My daughter is going next door to the "girl" house (3 daughters) and I always make them stuff. Their mom and I joke that we are our kids' other moms so I always think I should do stuff for them. I found out that this particular daughter has a collection of pandas so I went to PiecebyNumber for their paper pieced panda here. Let's just say, when paper piecing one should not rush. I can't tell you how many mistakes went into this piece, but it's finally done.
I didn't have time to add the bamboo. I just whipped up a pillow for her. So what do you get when you have a girl that likes pink and pandas? Why a pink panda pillow, of course!
I thought it turned out pretty cute and I think she'll like it. Considering I finished it 2 hours before my daughter had to take it to the party, I was cutting it close.I also found out that I did not win the Accuquilt barn quilt contest but congrats to the winners. Their blocks are gorgeous!
I had also planned a giveaway for my 1 year blogiversary but we are now a month out from that so I am way overdo. I even have it in a box ready to go...I just needed to get it done so without further ado...
To celebrate my one year and one month blogiversary, I am giving away a self made charm pack of leftovers from my boy twin quilt and a TMQ binding tool.
The charm pack is made up of leftovers from my boy twin quilt so you are getting some Dr. Seuss fabrics, some Fairy Tale Friends by Moda and a few other prints. I bought two binding tools; one for me and one for you. I used mine on the boy twin quilt and I loved it. There's a great video by the Missouri Star Quilt Co. on youtube to show you how to use it.
*THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED.

Happy blogiversary! Love the little panda--too cute!
You did a great job on your panda block! That was the perfect background too, looks just like bamboo - I would have been concerned with it's directionality but it looks just like a stand of bamboo. Happy blogaversary, even if it is late!

Congratulations on your Blogaversary. The panda is really cute. Thanks for the giveaway
Your panda pillow came out great! And good job finishing it just in time -- when I come up against deadlines like that, I tend to spend like twenty minutes just freaking out about the deadline instead of getting to work. :D
I follow your blog in my reader. Congratulations on your blogiversary! :)
