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

Heading to VA and class @salemstitches - we’re ‘Celebrating Spring’

 I still have no voice, so stitchers might be in for a treat…Mr. HOD as your teacher 😆 (class starts Friday, I’m sure it will be all good by then 🤞🏻

 Final class prep is today’s car project. I wrap double sided stitchery tape on rods for each student!! 

We stop tonight in Indiana - hey @lindystitches - what’s for dinner?! (wouldn’t you be surprised) 🤣

I get asked a lot ‘what is your favorite design’.

No easy answer here. I love when a design comes together with a powerful message, one that I wrote, with meaning and a flow that picked up momentum the second I opened the window on my computer screen. 

The Smallest Seed, from the very beginning, has served as a philanthropy design. It hangs in my home as a daily reminder.

Such a fun weekend with my stitching peeps. I as Such a fun weekend with my stitching peeps. 

I asked my friends if they would be ‘student testers’ for a class that I am teaching next week @salemstitches - They were troopers and passed with flying colors. 

I hope you have a group of friends like this. So much laughter, amazing food (wore my stretchy pants), storytelling and enabling (we are staying at a quilt shop!)

I’ll let you in on a little secret. Not everyt I’ll let you in on a little secret. 

Not everything I had designed made it to Nashville Market…it happens. You know its’s gonna be really cool but it just needs a little more time.

Life is running at the speed of crazy right now, it’s OK to say, you just need to wait for the right time little one
