Daisy Cottage Quilting

New blog

Some of you have asked if I'm still in business and the answer is yes.  I don't use this blog because it got too confusing hopping back and forth for everyone.  So I just use the www.daisycottagequilting.com  blog which is part of my website.  I'd love to use this blog because I love it better than 
Wordpress I gotta admit.  If it weren't too confusing to everyone I'd use both.  Let me know what you think if you stop by here.

Miss me over here?

I thought I'd update this blog.  I see several of you "following" me and thought why not do a blog post here too while I'm on a roll.  I've been busy quilting with my best friend that was visiting this past week.  WE got a lot done and I'll show that soon.  But here's some other things I've been doing. 

This is a Redwork BOM I'm working on. I've got three of the blocks done now but only took pics of these two.  

These are some of the mini's I've been making.  The middle one was in our Monthly Mini. If you want to sign up for this you still can.  This one is all gone but I'll be doing the next one real soon. I've already got the sample made.  The other three here are just kits on the website. 

This poster I got at Quilt Market from Pam Kitty's booth with her new line of fabric and hunka framed it for me.  I love it!!!!  So happy.  I can't wait until October for the fabric to come out.  I'm beyond excited for it.  

Love this quilt. I didn't quite get it finished for July 4th but it's almost done now.  I've just about got the binding done.  I can still make kits if anyone wants one.  It's a fun quit, I love all the scrappy fabrics in it. 

Okie Dokie,  that's it for now. Just wanted to stop in and say hey to you!! Didn't want you to think I forgot about this blog too. I just usually do my newsletters from the other blog.  I don't want to confuse everyone.  I do love Typepad but my website was set up with Wordpress which I do not like. So we'll see how that goes. I might be making some changes there too.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Blogs, blogs everywhere!!!

Ok, I'm here to explain why I have so darn many blogs.  I know it's confusing to many and I apologize for that. Here's the main reason I have two Daisy Cottage blogs.  I started out with the one on my website then it just decided one day it was not going to let me post photos anymore. Well..........if you know me you know that isn't gonna fly. So I started this one over here at Typepad.  Then one day out of the blue, poof!!!  The website blog starts working again. So now I'm over there again.  I'm sorry that I hop back and forth between the two and now I'll be posting over there at the website blog. So please go there and check it out. I'll try to do post more often.  I like doing them I really do, but it takes me a long time to do it.  I'm going to work on that, I promise. As for my own personal blog, well that's what it is. My personal blog, where I talk about anything and everything.  I'll still be doing that one too but for store info such as sales, new products, kits, and even give aways,  you'll find that on my website blog.  Whew!!!  I hope that makes sense.

Happy New Year

I want to wish everyone the best New Year in 2011.  It seems so odd to be in the year 2011. Weren't we just in the year 1978?   lol  Ok maybe not that far back but till.  Time does fly doesn't it?  

I've updated my DaisyCottage website. It seems to be working now so I'm blogging over there too.  Or am I just keeping everyone on their toes?  My web guy Ben is going to update my category thing so that it's not so confusing when you go the website.  

I'm busy making lots of little mini or small quilts. That's going to be my new thing this year.  I think we all have quite a few large quilts and the little ones are so quick and easy to make.  Not to mention less expensive. 

Here's the first two I've listed.  I love them.  And I loved my snow.  Until the rain came and washed it away that is.  :-(

Can you see them both hanging??  Cute aren't they?

More later. You can also check the blog out on my website.  I'm never sure if anyone reads either blogs??

Oh except Florence. She just emailed me and asked me to let everyone know we are ok. Today was a wicked day weather wise. There are so many homes leveled and cars flipped due to torndoes that tore through St.Louis.  It was scary for awhile.  The weather here is so warm today and yesterday which didn't help.  Thank goodness we are ok and so is our house.  Thank you for asking Florence you sweet thing.  

Happy New Year!!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Merry Christmas

I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!!  Remember the website orders will not ship after the 10th. You still have a few days left and then after that they will resume again on the 27th.  If you email me I won't be able to get back to you until the 27th either.  But don't worry I will get back to you.  :-)

Thank you so much for all of your business I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.  My customers are the very best!!!!!  

Happy Holidays!!!!

Sharon

Floral Flower Sugar

Floral Flower Sugar is in the house!!  I can't get enough of that Lecien fabric. It is so happy and pretty.  Very feminine isn't it??  These are just a few that I've added to the website.  

I still have one fat quarter bundle of the whole line left on the website.  

You still have time to be in the drawing for the big goody bag I brought back from Quilt Market. Just place an order and your entered. Midnight tonight is the end though. I'll draw a name tomorrow.

This is the bag full and ready to go!!! 

Please remember that after Dec. 10th no orders will go out until after Jan 2nd.  So please get your orders in before that if you need it for Christmas.  

Thanks for all the wonderful orders I've received this month.  I am just shocked and happy at the same time.  Everyone kept telling me, just wait you'll see and they were right.   I can't wait to show you the new block of the months I will have for next year.  I'm working hard on them so they'll be ready to share after the new year starts. My little brain is full of ideas for the new year, hubby keeps telling me to write it down.  He knows me too well. I'll forget everything if I don't.  A couple of my customers are good at keeping me on track too. You know who you are........Randee,  Bridgid......:-)  

I am enjoying my website so much. It's so different from owning a store front yet your just as busy.  I could spend all day long in my office organizing, packing up orders,  ordering new things,  etc.  I just miss the customer interaction I had with the store front.  Thank goodness for Facebook, Email,  texting, it keeps me connected.  If you haven't please join my Facebook fan page for Daisy Cottage Quilting.  Join my newsletter on the website www.daisycottagequilting.com  and if you want me to text you too.............ok never mind.  lolol  But I will if you want. Right Bridgid,  Fran,  ????  I'm getting pretty quick at that texting you know.  Just not while driving.  NO NO NO. 

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We sure did. My sister and her family were at our house on Saturday along with my boys.  Boo was in town and Wilster joined us too.  It's always great when we all get together and most of you know how long I waited to move back to Missouri from California.  I could not be happier where I am now.  

Happy Holidays to all of you.

Hugs

Sharon 

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving to ya!

Did you buy your turkey?? Is it thawing in the fridge???  We bought a big old bird the other day. Hubby and I went to the $300 dollar store. Also known as Costco. We should not go there together. We feed off of each other and then we buy more than we need. But I gotta say it's fun fun fun.  Until you get home and try to find space for it all to go in the cabinets.  lol

My little sister and her family are coming over on Saturday. They will be at my brother in laws for Thanksgiving which just happens to be hubby and my anniversary this year.  So we have decided since no one can join us we are going to the casino and do a little slot machine playing.  Why not I say????   No stress, no company, no nothing.  Maybe we'll win a boat load of cash.  Ok we probably won't but we'll have fun.  I hope whatever your doing you have a great and happy Thanksgiving.  

Now for the new....... Giddy has arrived. I bought a few bundles, charms, and jelly rolls. Also I got in some more RED. You know me and RED we got together like peanut butter and jelly.  lolol  

This is some happy fabric. You know I like happy don't ya?

And then there's red with dots. What could be better?? NOTHING I tell you.  We have JUMBO dots....

and tiny dots.

We also have it with the white background and red dots. Jumbo and tiny.  

I've been thinking about doing a mini quilt of the month.  I'm working on a couple samples right now.  If you'd be interested let me know.  I think we'll start this in January.  It will be inexpensive and will include the backing, binding and batting. the three B's.  

More new patterns have been added so take a look at the JUST ADDED category.  Dont forget when you go to my website you have to click the word STORE up at the top to get to the categories.  

These are just a few of my good friends newest patterns.  Aren't they tooooooo cute?  

Thanks for all the great orders I've received this month. I'll be doing the drawing for the big giveaway at the end of the month. You still have time to place an order and be in the drawing. It's for all the goodies I got at Quilt Market and I got some good freebies. I'll be adding a few things of my own to the box. It's going to be a good box to receive.  

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your families.

Hugs

Taking Care of Business.............

I'm trying to TCB.  Take care of business so while I just sent out my newsletter, I thought I'd update my blog too.  I've been adding things to my website like a wild woman.  The poor UPS guy.  Christmas is coming and I need to remember him.  I bet he thinks,  who the heck moved into this house and what is she doing?? Maybe next year I'll make him a quilt. Do you think he'd appreciate it?? You never know. Maybe he'd like cookies instead. 

Does anyone out there enjoy Australian patterns like I do? I have always loved them. So now I'm carrying quite an assortment of them.  I just added a lot more last night to my site. They have their own category called.....what else???  Australian Patterns.  lolol  Jeez I'm clever.  

I brought back with me from Quilt Market the cutest little seam rippers with these characters on the top.  Adorable! I only have a few on the site and that's all I'll be able to get for now.  So take a look in the Notions section for those.  

The newest Angel block of the month sign ups will be for the rest of this week and then I'll be closing that.  I need to get busy kitting up those so I can mail them out by the first of the year.  I've got four blocks made so far and they are very cute!!!  Australian too.   What's not to like? I think most of you have probably already saw it.  So I won't bore you again with a picture.  It's on the website under Block of the Month. 

One thing I think is confusing is when I send out my newsletter and you click on the red logo it take you to my old blog. That is also my website. If you look above and see the word STORE click on that and it will take you to all the categories. The categories that are there on the first homepage are not right. My webguy Ben is going to fix that for me soon.  I hope this clears up some of the confusion. I also thank those of you that let me know when things are not right, or not in the right category and on and on. If you don't let me know I can't fix it.So thank you to those of you that have been a big help.  Laura just helped me to figure out I had the Angel BOM in the wrong spot. Thanks Laura.  

I have a few new quilts that were made to show you. They will all have ktis available. I just need to get myself in gear and make them.  I'm trying over here I really am.  

I love this quilt. It's made out of the Lollipop line.  It will be a table topper on my kitchen table.   

I kept trying to get a good picture of it.    My buddy Frannie Fran did a great job on this.  Thanks Fran.  

This one isn't mine. It's a friends quilt that I quilted.  Don't you love it????  

This is the newest kit from Moda. Using Sandy Gervais line of fabric Lollipop.  Sorry the bad photo doesn't really show the pattern.  But the kit is on the website.  $40.00.   Backing is included in the kit.

Here's the new Toaster Cover that hubby made. I just love mine!!!  He can make it in several color choices.  Didn't he do a good job on that???   You know the drill.  It's on the website.  WOOD GOODS. is the category.

Wanna see my new bags I've been making?? If your on Facebook you are now fast asleep because you've seen everything already. If not, here ya go. I used last years fabric because I had one panel left and thought it would be good for this pattern.  The pattern is Flower Sugar and the little one is Abby's Treasure Bag. My all time favorite zipper bag pattern.  I made six of these yesterday. Oh yes I sure did.  I'm getting ready for ....... well you know.  The "C" word.  

This fabric of course is the Holiday Happy fabric.  I have this on clearance on the website.  But it did make a cute bag didn't it??  Wouldn't you want this for Christmas???  Huh?? Would ya??? 

And last but not least. I did bring home some new bundles of fabric and I have them on the website.

Flower Sugar's newest line.  I have two of these bundles.

American Jane's newest line of fabric.  

Ok I think that's enough. You are probably all on overload.  

Thanks for all the nice orders I've gotten. You guys are great.  It's my first year and I am so happy, it's only been months so far but you guys are the greatest!!!  If you ever look for something and you can't find it I can order. Please just let me know. 

Hugs

Sharon

 

Look it's me again

Are you surprised?? I'm back so soon.  I need to catch up with several things to show you.  And the only way to do it is blog twice in one week. Maybe even three.  You never know.  

I've been adding lots to the website the past few days.  Seems like the doorbell keeps ringing with loads of boxes for me.  It's like Christmas around here. Here's a peak at some stuff I added today.  There's lots more so go check out the JUST ADDED section.

Just got the new kit from Moda today for Oopsie Daisy/Sandy Gervais. It includes the fabric for the front, back, binding and has the buttons in the kit too.  It's under "kits" on the website.  

I took two pictures because neither one came out very clear.  But it does come in that cute bag.  

One was with a flash and one without.  lolol   Oh well you get the idea.  

Don't forget to look at our new block of the month that is starting in January and the Annie one is available again if your interested. This will be the last time I offer Annie. 

Back to my stitching.  More tomorrow maybe if the doorbell rings.  :-)

Night Night!!
