At the Beach – Contest Time!

June 4, 2014 By Cathy Habermann Leave a Comment

It’s time for a New Release…and a contest!

At-The-Beach_Contest-Time_Blog-Image_1

I know it’s summer & it’s beach time…but I really think this one could stay up all year round. In fact, my husband asked me to stitch this one up again (this one travels in trunk shows!) so we could hang it in a bathroom we have re-done in beach style. What better time than in February when it’s 5 below to really close your eyes & pretend you’re at the beach!!

Lots of bright shades in this one, little fishes in the seaweed, and a friendly whale. So much fun!

Contest time!

Do you notice the little quilt block ornament in the picture? I occasionally put these designs into a chart. Designed with the chart’s colors – I’m trying to build a collection of these to adorn a tree.

Leave a message here on my blog with the Chart Title of one OTHER chart (not this one!) that has a little quilt ornament in it & I will randomly select several winners to receive this chart! (need help – go to my website at www.handsondesign.biz) Another hint: there are 3 other charts with one…any one will do!

Contest closes Sunday at midnight (6/8/14) & I will select Monday morning & post the winners.

Enjoy the Stitch (at the beach),

Cathy
