I finished all the little pieces and parts into bow ties from last post. It was such fun to play with all the pieces in different patterns! But the bow ties won out.
A funny thing happened in our neighborhood this morning. I was out walking, and saw an Estate Sale sign. Oh no, I thought...not another one of our elderly neighbors!! So I walked the block and walked into the house...and met a quilter! She was selling lots of her belongings, because she and her husband are moving to Taos, New Mexico! She has a long arm machine and is a scrappy quilter, just like me!! Darn, I sure wish I would have known about her earlier...someone my own age, and a quilter to boot!! She was selling this beautiful basket above. I love it, and it now lives at my house.
Now the most fun thing ever happened this week! I ordered this pattern, from Sue Garman...the OMIGOSH quilt. I have loved it forever, and it is just the right pattern for scraps...the ultimate pattern for scraps!! I ordered two of the pattern, so I could give one away. Guess what? Sue Garman herself e-mailed me and said thank you for ordering!! I wrote back and told her I was going to give away one of the patterns, and she sent another one also to give away!! So...I have two of this pattern to give away. It is such a fun one!! So just comment on this post and I will draw two names next week to win this pattern. Sue was just the nicest, most kind and down to earth lady via our chat. Please see her website
HERE...she sells the most beautiful patterns! And her blog HERE.

This is a great pattern. Sue really is very personable. She spoke at my guild and her work is amazing. I would love to own this pattern.
Very generous of you both. I would love to own this fun scrap pattern.
I have been thinking about buying this pattern, now I have a chance to win one. Thank for the giveaway.
Looks like a neat pattern! What a shame you didn't meet your neighbour sooner! I didn't know you had a long arm?
Sue has a gift of making intricate patterns seem effortless. I enjoy viewing her work and would love to have a chance to try this pattern. Thanks!
I would love to win this pattern. I've seen parts of it on another blog I follow.
I've always loved this quilt pattern and would love to win it! Thanks for the chance! :0)
I love this pattern!! I am a scrappy quilter, myself, and this pattern is perfect!! I always enjoy your blog, and find great inspiration from your scrappy quilts! Thanks!
It is so nice to meet fellow quilters! I love the bowl too, might some day make one myself. Thanks for the opportunity to win the pattern, it is so lovely!
So very generous of both of you. I love Sue's blog and patterns.
Oh Julie, I am drooling! I love that quilt and been following Sue's blogs for a long time. Oh please put my name in the draw. Thank you so much. You are too generous. It is really too bad about the quilty neighbor leaving your area. I too wish I knew someone quilty close by.
It is always nice to meet another quilter. Too bad she is moving. But her bowl is lovely. I love Sue Garman's quilts and the Omigosh quilt is one of my favourites. I am a scrappy quilter and I would love to win that pattern. Thanks for the opportunity. It is very generous of you both!
I would love to make that quilt. Can't wait to see yours. Thanks for the chance!
It looks like a great pattern and isn 't Sue Garman a sweetie to double the fun?
Mmm would love that pattern. I'm a crazy scrap quilter and have organized my scraps a la the Bonnie Hunter system.

I've been wanting to make this pattern! Thanks for all you do and the chance to win.
Julie I was actually on her website this morning looking at her " mama said quilt and ladies of the sea
Your little bow ties are adorable. At first I thought they were spools -- I guess the pattern just must be similar. Sue's quilt pattern is oh-so-fun. Thanks for offering the pattern.
I have made one Sue Garman quilt. I would love to do this one!
I'm sorry you didn't meet the lady down the street sooner. If would have been great to have someone so near that shares your passion. It's wonderful of both you and Sue to give away this great pattern. I love scrappy quilts and this looks like the perfect pattern.
i love that basket too! My elderly neighbor quilts, but she does not seem to want to share, when I knocked on her door once, she kind of got mad at me, as long as I'm not near her house she is very friendly though. LOL
How fun! That looks like a great pattern for scraps~ and I have a pile of them! :o I like your basket too. Too bad your neighbor is moving. I am off to see Sue's blog~ its new to me. :-) Have a happy weekend!
Wow - so generous! I would love to win the pattern. Thank you!!
I saw a version of Sue's quilt at the local quilt show in June. It was one I lingered over. I didn't take note of the pattern designer. Thanks for letting us know, and the chance to win one.
Oh my goodness, that pattern has a LOT of little pieces...right up my alley. Thanks for the great giveaway (and thanks Sue for making it even more special).
Love the pattern. I am trying my best to use up my scraps..but they seem to keep having babies! Where does all this fabric come from?!?
What a great pattern. Quilters really are the best!
I've been pinning OMG quilts on Pinterest. Thank you for the chance to win the pattern. I too am a scrappy quilter. I love those tiny bits of fun! Fingers crossed!!! Shahann at yahoo dot com.
What a lovely quilt pattern!
Oh, my gosh, that is quite the pattern for scraps. Just like me, you found a treasure at an estate sale. Some days are just full of surprises.
What a great pattern! And, thanks for turning me onto Sue Garman!
I see someone else sewing that pattern up - looks like a good one for small scraps. Loved to do many of her quilts. Take care and happy quilting. From northern Iowa. . . .
I love Sue Garman patterns. This pattern would work great for scraps.
Amazing quilt I wish you luck in making it. Don't put me in the give away as there is no way I could ever make a quilt with soooooo many pieces.
Hi Julie, don't put my name in I have this pattern and like you I love it I have seen this on many a quilt show and they are just lovely. The pattern I got the maker even had a few little pieced squares in it and has given me her scrap box as well! I know you will put your twist on it.
I too have been eyeballing that pattern. This so nice of you to do and Sue also. Ill keep my fingers crossed.
I have that pattern on my wish list, it would be most excellent to win one. Thanks for the chance.
I've toyed with the idea of making this quilt. Maybe if I won the pattern I would get motivated! Thanks for the chance, Julie!
I would love to win the pattern. I've been wanting it for a long time but haven't gotten around to ordering it. I really love your banner quilt.
I love Sue's quilts and this one is exquisite. It will be a fun one to make.
I love Sue' s patterns too! Thanks so much for the giveaway!

How fun for you! Love Sue's blog. So very informative and always some great eye candy.:)
I have heard about this pattern but hadn't seen it till now. It would be perfect for those of us that do scrap quilts. Thank you to both yourself, and Sue for the draw!
you can never have enough patterns for scrap quilts, I'm sure my scraps breed when the lights are out and the door is closed
I would love to own this scrap pattern!
It's always the way, you meet potential friends just as they are leaving! At least you got a lovely basket. Your bow ties are very cute. Sue has the most wonderful patterns and such a great blog. Thanks to you both for the giveaway.
Thanks so much for the chance to win one of these patterns. I love your blog.

What a beautiful quilt! I love Sue's patterns and I hope I win this one! Thanks for a chance at the giveaway....your little bowties are so cute!
I was following a blog where the quilter was making this pattern. Love it. Thanks for the opportunity to get the pattern.
I love this pattern--thanks for the chance to win a copy!
I love this quilt, thanks for the chance to win it.
What a beautiful pattern for us scrap quilters. Thank you.
I really enjoy reading your blog.i love your use of scraps and beautiful quilts you have made from them. Sue Garmen has some wonderful patterns!
I absolutely love Sue's style and I wait anxiously each month for her blog posts. I have seen this quilt made by a couple different people and have always loved it. It is on my list to do. Maybe having the pattern would get me started on it. I would love a chance to win a copy. Thanks for sharing and thank you Sue as well.
OMG I love this quilt. Would love this pattern but postage to Australia is ridiculous. Would love to see progress pics of yours
I would be so excited to win this pattern. Would love to see yours too.
I am very familiar with Sue Garman's patterns. I have drooled over the applique designs many times.
Too bad that your neighbor is moving away right when you find out she is a quilter. Did she quilt for the public or just herself?
This pattern looks like a perfect leaders/enders quilt! I come from a 3-generation family of nurses (I'm not one) and enjoy reading your notes.
I love Sue's patterns, and have been eyeing this one for a long time. It is definitely right up my alley! Wouldn't it make a great leader-ender project! Fun that you found your quilter neighbor - too bad she's moving!
I love Sue, and you are right, she writes personally every time you order.
Thank you for the giveaway, love scrappy quilts and would love to put in my chance for the drawing.
Greetings,
Sylvia
I really like Sue's patterns. I have followed her on a The Quilt Show and thought about purchasing this pattern maybe one of these will land in my lap?
I so want to make this quilt. Sue is a remarkable quilter. Her blog is just remarkable every month. I have made another quilt of Sue's and I love it. Thank you so much for the chance to win.

Sue was at one of my quilt guilds this summer. I didn't buy that pattern, but, I'm working on it (no directions). I have lots of the tiny 9 patches done so far.
Now don't you just meet the nicest folks on the net? I love it.
Thanks for the chance to win this great pattern.
Happy Sewing

Great a chance for omigosh quilt . Not sure if it should be celebrated or feared.. Lets go..
I'd love to win one of the patterns. Love the quilt - it's on my bucket list. Always enjoy your blog. My two daughters are nurses, and I often email them a link to your blog when you share about some of the patients you care for. Your sweet posts are encouragement to them.
I've been seeing this pattern around blogland and am very intrigued. I have a huge scrap bin that needs to be reduced - this looks perfect. Thanks to you and Sue for the giveaway!
Quilters are the best! I'd like to not be put in the drawing.....long lists and all:)

Her designs are just gorgeous and the featured quilt is really O MY GOSH!!
