If you've followed Stash Manicure, you are well aware that the BIG WantobeQuilter event is in full swing. I am so thrilled to be a part of it all. Madame Samm called me last month and invited me to post today. I almost jumped out of my chair with joy, when I got the call!
For those who have followed my blog, you might have seen this tutorial previously as the TSA approved bag. Yes, it is a quart size bag that the TSA allows for taking liquids thru security in the airports here in the US, but it's so versatile, that its uses are endless. Like you saw today, it's the perfect way to keep all those sewing supplies together, along with projects, patterns, and just about anything you need to organize.
I'm very excited about finding new quilters and bringing them into our folds. Those of us who have been around awhile, have found "tons" of support from each other thru blogging. I know I can speak for all of us, in saying "welcome", to all new quilters. I hope to teach and inspire each of you. I'm open to any and all questions you might have, and will freely share any of my knowledge (or lack of) :-) :-) :-) with everyone!
Welcome Welcome--- "Orange" you glad you found us? :-)
In honor of this auspicious occasion, I am giving away this set of bags, (hot off the cutting board). You don't have to be a Wantobe Quilter either. Everyone is eligible to win. Just become a follower and leave me a comment on this post. For those who are following already, just leave me a comment telling me so, and what you would like to see from me, in the future. I will be picking a winner on Saturday Aug 6th.
Best wishes and good luck to you all!! You know we are all winners, when we follow Stash Manicure!
