Header Revamped and the Giveaway Winners!

Thanks for everyone's comments on the changes I've made here on ye olde blog! There were quite a few comments from people saying that they didn't like the quilt in the new header I put up yesterday, and while I did feel a little sad that people didn't like the quilt (it's my favourite that I've designed), my original intention was to not have the quilt in there and to just have the wall extend out. Unfortunately my graphics skills were just not up to par for splicing in some more wall (the corner of the wall is where the original photo ends), and had thought the quilt would look nice and would give me a chance to display one of my favourites. Here's the header that was up yesterday:

The lovely Norma of Petit Design Co. stepped up though and offered to help me out with that little problem. I sent her the unedited image of the chair and quilts and Norma spliced and diced to create more wall for me to work with. Thanks Norma - you rock! So what do y'all think of the new header (look up, look waayyy up, and I'll call Rusty - hehe, you might need to be Canadian to get that one)? Better?

So I bet everyone wants to know who won the Happy Sew Lucky giveaway right? Well, let me remind you what the prizes were.


The winner of the babushka kit is: Jeni of In Color Order

And the winner of the Sweet Angel kit is: Sonia of Third Street Handcrafters

Okay ladies, send me an email and I'll mail off your winnings! Thanks again to Berene of Happy Sew Lucky for donating these awesome little kits! I'll be back soon with some new books I've received and a little craftiness; I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

  2. I think your quilt is lovely. I would be sad too if I designed it, you are very talented.

  3. I think everyone loves your quilt, but likes the negative space in the header . . . I think it would be awesome to move your title over too to capitalize on the negative space, but that is only what I would do (I'm married to a designer, it's not my fault!), but what is important is what YOU like and what you're happy with!

    All of that said, I think it looks lovely and fresh!

  6. Now I feel bad! The quilt is beautiful - it's just that with both of them there, my eye didn't know where to rest! I love it this way, but it would also be good with just the quilt - maybe you could switch them up!

  10. I agree with Jessica--I think the people just meant they didn't like it in the header but thought just the chair with the stacked quilts would be best. The quilt is lovely!!

  11. I just started reading your blog about a week ago and I like the changed header. It's fun to see someone young who is into sewing and blogging about it! :)

  12. I love your new header! I liked the one with your quilt too, but the picture of the stack of quilts on the chair is just perfect!

  13. Love the new header either way--I just like change. The Friendly Giant would have that wee quilt on the rocking chair in the corner. What a great memory you conjured up with that reference; Jerome, Rusty who else??? Thanks Kaye I'm just smilin' now

  14. Hello! I just discovered you looking around at all the sweet mug rugs in the swap. I've copied the instructions to your strip coaster and would like to know - where did you find the wonderful fox and tree mug???

    Thanks for the inspiration!
