ReplyDeleteLove the cupcake pincushion! So adorable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab cupcake! I may just have to track down that pattern--I have many other Sandi Henderson patterns and I dearly love them all. As far as quilts--I am pretty much drawn to apliqued ones--so, those are usually the ones that I end up doing--and my favorite one is always the one I am currently working on!
ReplyDeleteMmm, cupcakes. I just can't resist pretend food!
ReplyDeleteI would love this cupcake, it is one of the cutest things I have seen in a long while. I'm not much of a quilter but I do sew and am currenty making a corduroy skirt for my daughter. I have added you to my bloglines.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love this pattern. Thanks for the joining in the big day!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that. I just finished making a baby quilt for my new grandson who will be born probably on my b-day, June 16.

ReplyDeleteyehudim at aol dot com
Huge cupcake fan! My sister-in-law will wrestle me to the ground for it if I win, because cupcakes are her fave too!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quilty things are some snack-mats that I've been working on. They are cute and quilty, small and fast to finish, and bonus eco-friendly since they take the place of paper towels around our house for holding goldfish crackers, grapes, half-eaten slice of apples... ;) And super washable...
I have added you to my blog roll, I'm a follower now!!!
(I think that's 4 entries, lucky me!)

Beautiful cupcakes! Your blog is also great :) Thanks for the giveaway. I'm a novice quilter, but have started a snowball block quilt for my girls. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWould love one of these cuties. I never get stuff made for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the give away
Those cupcakes are adorable - I would love to win one! I think the only quilty project I've done was a (very basic) doll quilt for my sister back when we played with dolls. But I have sewn Amy Butler's birdie sling from fabric I bought at a quilting store, does that count?
ReplyDeleteOkay, so my dog just ate my pincushion...really, 6 month old puppy eats anything (thankfully not the pins). So I really need a new one, this one is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteRight now, I am gathering fabrics to try a log cabin quilt for a friend. I have only made a few quilts and this will be the first one with a more then just squares pattern.
Great giveaway! I just started quilting, so my favorite project would be the one I just finished using Anna Maria Horner fabric.
ReplyDeleteThat cupcake is super cute!!!! I love it!

ReplyDeleteOoh cute cupcakes! They look too yummy! I'll definitely be making doll quilts! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThese are the sweetest little pincushions I ever saw! I really enjoy creating Catedral Window Cushions or baby quilts because they are so delightfully different and unique.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pincushions! I'm a newbie quilter and my favourite project was my first quilt made for my in untero baby - she's now "out-utero" and I love to see her sitting on it! Thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteI love it! I need another pin cushion. Thanks for the great give-away.
ReplyDeleteI don't own a pin cushion! I know that is almost sacrilegious as a quilter, but I haven't made one yet. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quilty project is the mod quilt along on Ohfransson.com. She has many wonderful ideas, but that is my current favorite.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm, those cupcakes would drive my husband crazy!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I would love to win that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute pin cushion! I just wanted to say that I love your site. My sister Hilary loves cupcakes and this site totally reminds me of her - you even have the same middle name. I can't wait to tell her about this site - if it wasn't midnight I might just call her right now. SERIOUSLY I am way over excited, and over tierd.

ReplyDeletebiene_87@gmx.de
Adorable!! Thanks for the channce to win one of these cuties!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I would love that to replace my much used twenty year old pincushion!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the pincushion! I am still using my old rotten tomatoe! haha
ReplyDeleteFav quilting project?! Are you kidding? How can I choose? I am a quilting addict right now. It is hard for me not to be doing it right now, but these giveaways are so tempting! I just got into making zig zag quilts so I am working on two right now. One for my sis and one for our couch. They are semi scrappy.
Thanks for doing the giveaway!
Oh my gosh, those are so cute!!! I'm not a quilter, just a lover of them, so I don't have any quilty projects to report on. But, my favorite quilty things are little quilted baby blankets!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the pincushion!
ReplyDeleteYou can contact me via a comment on my blog or the email provided there.
What a lovlely pinchusion to win! Thanks
ReplyDeleteThey are very cute, and who can't use another pincushion!
ReplyDeleteThis would be the perfect present for my MIL! She has her bd on June 25 :)
ReplyDeleteThe cupcakes look delicious! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love cupcakes and I love pincushions! What a fabulous combination :) I don't quilt (yet, I'm chicken, I am going to be learning how in August), but my grandmother does and she made an AMAZING quilt for my daughter with big pieced applique animals and each animal has a 3-d piece for her to pull on or chew or whatever. I am so excited for her to move up to a big-girl bed so we can put it on her bed and decorate the room around it. Anything with cupcakes is definitely worth telling people about :) so I've added you to my blogroll (as Designing Happy).
ReplyDeleteMy favorite project was a quilted table runner that I made with my fiance and his mother. He helped me square everything up and I just got to sew away. It was a christmas themed table runner and it had polka dots in it. Christmas stuff is his favorite and polka dots are my favorite.
ReplyDeletefharr@umd.edu

ReplyDeleteMmm those cupcakes look good enough to eat! My favourite quilty project is the current quilt I'm trying to work on. It has all of my husband's old t-shirts in it. He refused to give them up unless I immortalized all of them for all time. Hopefully it'll turn out nice.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite quilty project was a snail trail in acid batiks for a baby quilt. so much fun and so colorful. Thank you for the chance to win your cupcake...with this around maybe i will STOP eating the real thing!
