Do you happen to remember this little beauty? It's the doll quilt I received in DQS11 from Kristina of Sew Domestic. Today, I am happy to introduce Kristina as a sponsor for During Quiet Time. She wrote up a little guest post:
"Sometimes you just get lucky.
The internet can be such a powerful thing! I was lucky enough to get Amy as my partner for DQS11 (Doll Quilt Swap.) When I received her list of requests and looked at her inspiration mosaic I was pretty pumped to get started on the project. I spent a lot of time on her blog investigating her likes. I realized we had a lot in common which made the process even more fun. I felt lucky.
I have been a reader of During Quiet Time ever since and am so excited to be a new sponsor here! Amy’s work is colorful, inspiring and just plain fun. I adore her original screenprinted fabric and clever designs, sewing and quilting alike. It’s just good stuff. She’s good stuff. She definitely inspires me.
I’d love to extend an invitation to you to visit my blog Sew Domestic. It started as a quilting blog, but has transformed into more of a lifestyle blog. I am a wife, mother and web manager at a quilt shop. I share a lot about my daughters, my love of organization + quilting + scrapbooking and some of the yummy stuff (in my opinion) I like to make for dinner! Bottom line, I love to make stuff. My ultimate goal is to find balance in it all so that my family is taken care of and my creative spirit is fulfilled + happy.
(Kristina's Little Leaves Quilt)
So grateful to have an amazing job that I love. My mother in law owns Quilted Treasures Quilt Shop in Rogers, Minnesota (near Minneapolis). I have been lucky enough to work beside her for the past seven years, whoa!! I forgot how long its actually been! Anyways, I started out cutting fabric and assembling quilt kits and have worked my way up to managing our website and helping plan events, classes and inventory. We are also now offering Long Arm Quilting Services which has been such an awesome life skill to learn! We specialize in Quilt Kits and Installment/Block of the Month Programs. Our Minky Tube Scarves have also been a huge hit! One of my other responsibilities is managing our etsy shop. I pull together specialty fabric bundles and list stuff that I think is cool. Fun huh? I sure hope you like what you see and stop back often!
Be sure to stay in touch…I’d love to hear from you!!"

ReplyDeleteThanks for a lovely giveaway. this charm is killing me :)
love this fabric!! i'm wading through my first embroidery pattern design for a valentine super-hero and hoping to have it done in time for valentine gifting ;)
ReplyDeleteNo plans for a handmade Valentine. I am trying to finish up some 2011 starts.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was! Unfortunately, I have so many things to finish, and a new resolution about finishing that will keep me from indulging. Thank you for the giveaway, and for introducing me to someone new!
ReplyDeleteWow, valentines is coming indeed, and pretty soon too. To be honest I had not thought of Valentine´s much, but I think the heart coaster tutorial I saw on sew mama sew would be a fun project for Valentines... Or maybe a small hanging quilt for the door. Now I am getting ideas! Thanks!

What a lovely post! I won't be making anything handmade for myself, but I am holding a kids sewing workshop with a Valentine's theme. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteWhat a dream! Working in fabric store - I'd probably spend all my wages there :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't even thought about Valentine's Day yet - I'm currently working on a tree skirt and an advent calendar that I didn't get a chance to make for last Christmas!
I've seen a really adorable little heart quilt some time ago. But honestly there're a soooo many projects on my to-do-list that I don't know if I can make it in time. But hey, there'll be another Valentine's day next year, right?
ReplyDeleteGreetings from germany, Hildy

With Christmas down the house seems a bit lonely so I need to make something to cheer it up ! Hmm I think patchwork letters on canvases to spell LOVE might be perfect !

ReplyDeleteI hadn't planned to, but then half the stuff I make is on a whim so you never know!:-D
ReplyDeleteI would like to make a skirt for each of my girls and I saw a cute tutorial on a blog for a ruffled heart shirt, that I was thinking was so stinkin cute!
ReplyDeleteI am making cupcakes and valentines for the students I live with :)
ReplyDeletelove love love that 'Walk in the Woods'-so darn cute. I could definitely share some handmade love with that! I do plan on making handmade goodies to share for Valentines Day-just not sure what yet. We have a few birthdays to get through first:) Awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm still thinking on what to do! But I'm sure I'll come up with something... thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I am working on a tablemat for Valentine's day! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing handmade I'll be making for Valentines is a new baby! LOL I'm due 2/18 but somehow I have a feeling I'll be in the hospital for Valentines day. :)
ReplyDeleteA lot of food, I think :) Some sweets and some meal for a lot of friends :)
ReplyDeleteI may/may not make a couple of throw pillows for my eldest daughter for valentines day this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the give away and for introducing Kristina.
I've got a wreath that I'll post tomorrow... Sweet giveaway!
ReplyDeleteDoes baking count? My husband is a big cheesecake fan. If I'm lucky I might touch my sewing machine by then!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway! I'm not sewing anything special for Valentines Day but I will be baking!!
ReplyDeleteAnything crafty for Valentines...maybe, if I get my act together after finishing the baby quilt this week that I still have to ship :) But I am sure I will be making some yummy desserts.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I'm drooling over this line :) As far as a handmade Valentines, I always make a card for hubby, and maybe a table runner would be a fun addition this year :)
ReplyDeleteMy son and I always make valentine cards for the kids in his class. I look forward to it every year.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! I am going to try to finish a table runner with some valentines colors by the 14th.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any V-day projects planned, but I really want to make something! It would also mean I'd just "have" to buy some pink-ish fabric. Darn.
ReplyDeleteI actually have a quilt to finish quilting and binding for my hubs. About time and good thing there is a deadline. That just works better for me. TGIF. My sew day is Friday!!!! Yeah that is today.
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm not making anything for Valentines Day this year, I am in the mode of making things for others. Presently, I'm crocheting a blanket to donate to a foster care organization and was thinking some pouches for older girls that are foster kids would be good too.
ReplyDeleteI'm making an applique valentine for my sweetie, complete with a sewn fabric envelope. Thanks for the giveaway chance!
ReplyDeleteLast night as I was laying in bed I thought of a darling pillow idea that I'd love to sew for valentines. Big XOXO! I have followed Kristas blog for awhile now & love it! How generous of her to offer the darling charm packs!!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of making valentine pj bottoms :-) For some reason I'm in the mood to draft patterns for pj bottoms on my own. Gotta go with what strikes ya I guess! LOL!
ReplyDeleteNope. Not gonna make anything for Valentine's Day. I am trying to finish up a baby blanket before then, because I am having a scheduled c-section on Feb 15th! So Valentine's day this year is all about baby boy #2's arrival! What a gift this would make for momma!
ReplyDeletei will be, but not sewing related- i am going to make a nice dinner and fancy dessert for my husband and son!
ReplyDeleteHmm. No plans as of yet! I do think the heart bag tutorial posted on V and Co is really cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to finally make the embroidery I've been planning with an 'internal joke' this year..lets see if it turns into reality!
ReplyDeleteI'm not planning to make anything specifically for Valentine's day - most of my sewing right now is to get ready for my first craft fair in March. Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI am definitely going to be cooking a lovely meal for my man but not sure I'm going to have the time to make him anything! Thanks for the giveaway, lovely fabrics!

Nothing planned for Valentine's Day (but if I look at Pinterest one more time, that may change). I am about to start on a wedding quilt for my niece, so that is a "lovey" kind of project!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!
I don't have any sewing planned for Valentine's Day, but I love reading about all the projects out here in blog land. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteNo special projects for Valentines day. Love this fabric and love Quilting Treasures! Thanks for sponsoring the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI made two small quilts and a pillow this year for Valentines Day .
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I only have one project in mind for Valentine's Day. I saw it somewhere in blogland a long time ago and it's just stuck in my head. It's fabric envelopes that you tie to the back of chairs. I might make some so we can all send each other notes. The kids would adore it :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous doll quilts. We dont really do much for Valentines in the UK apart from send cards and maybe go for dinner, so no valentines style crafting for me. Love the giveaway though
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy "meeting" new shops. The Etsy store can definitely get me in some trouble! I am trying to make a table runner for Valentine's Day. Thanks for a chance at the giveaway. :)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to viewing this new blog! So far, nothing for Valentine's Day...but maybe I need a cute little mug rug to celebrate! That day is my granddaughters birthday so we always have someone to love and celebrate on that day!
ReplyDeleteI'll be lucky if I even get some cookies made for Valentines Day.
ReplyDeleteI'm not planning on making anything for love day but I am putting together a little goodie bag for my son <3
ReplyDeleteI want to make cute fabric valentines post cards with my daughter to send to the grandparents.

ReplyDeleteI'm making a couple of heart themed rug mugs to use for the day.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't even thought about it yet, but... perhaps I will! I do have a wall hanging with hearts on that needs to be quilted. Maybe, just maybe I'll be inspired to finish it before February 14.
ReplyDeleteI am making a "love" pillow for the couch. Some cupcakes for my daughter...it is the day all about treats1
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to, maybe some pillowcases???
ReplyDeleteI make skirts for my girls each year, I am going to stick with that plan.
