Winners!!
All the entries were so creative!! I am blown away with what you guys were able to come up with, but I could only choose one as my winner. The reason I chose the winner is because we are a joking family. We are always teasing each other and joking around. A few years ago my husband taught my son to call me ‘woman’. You have not lived a day until you hear your 4 year old say “Woman make me dinner!” LOL Of course this was all meant in fun from my husband, and I think it is hilarious. (Though we have had to have the talk about when it is appropriate to call me this, it’s a little embarassing when he says it in the middle of Wal-Mart!! Oh and that he should NEVER call any other woman this as some may not think it is funny at all.) So with that reason, the winning caption came from Dot:
Hmmm…now, where is the spot that will maximize destruction? WOMAN, KNOW WHO YOU’RE DEALING WITH!
I also used the random generator to come up with the second winner. All comments left counted for the drawing, minus any duplicate posts. There were 309 comments left and the winner of the random drawing is Billie K from Billies Bee Blog with a post of:
Who’s been sleeping on my blanky???
Billie

This week’s quilty inspiration comes from Victoria at The Silly BooDilly.
This block is called a Wonky Star. When Victoria posted a tutorial for this block on her blog (click on the picture), there was a collection of these blocks being sent to Australia to help make quilts for the Bushfire victims. I thought the block was really fun, and it fit my style really well. I used this block to make a breast cancer quilt for a friend. It was very simple to do, but I really like it because there are no points to line up. The charm of this block is in it’s wonkiness, so you don’t have to worry about being overly precise. I will probably use this block in another quilt someday, it would be a great scrap buster!
I have also signed up for the ‘Fall into Fall Giveaway’ and today is the day! This will be my first giveaway, so I want to make it a good one for you guys. Today I have decided to give away two prizes:
Each of these are a set of 10 fat quarters.
All of these fabrics are from my local quilt store, but I have discovered that they have spent too much time on my shelves. So rather than having them look all sad and forlorn, I want to send them to a home that will make them into something beautiful.
So how can you enter my giveaway? Well I have decided to do my giveaway ala ‘Pioneer Woman’. If you have never visited her blog, do it. She is so funny and her posts crack me up all the time. She hasn’t done this type of giveaway in a while, but I always thought it was so much fun.
All you have to do to enter is give me a caption for this picture that has my kitty, Ciao in it:
It can be long, short, silly or serious, just have fun! If you are not feeling a caption, you may just leave me a regular comment as well, though that’s not quite as much fun!
One winner will be drawn at random from all comments on this post only. The other winner will be my favorite caption as picked by me.
The giveaway will close on October 15th. The winners will be announced on October 17th. The contest is open to all quilters from the U.S. or internationally. Remember this is for fun!
Please feel free to poke around my blog while you are here. I recently posted about how I bind my quilts. And you can see some of my finished and unfinished quilts.
Be sure to visit the Fall into Fall Giveaway blog for lots more giveaways!
Happy Quilting!
Rachel

“Inspecting the seams.” What nice accurate works she does.
Hey, that pin over there isn’t straight. Where would you be without me watching your back…. now go and fix it , PLEASE
Wait, is this what I think it is? A mouse? She quilted a MOUSE on MY QUILT?!?
“This must be the cat version of walking on nails” LOL
I LOVE LOVE wonky stars!! I am going to poke through your blog to see how you put them together! because mine are just sitting in a pile!
I think the caption for the picture should be:
“you missed one over here”
Yuck! I guess she mut have said “quilt basting” not “quilt tasting!” Lovely fat quarters. Thanks for the chacne to win!!!
Which I can choose it!
Wonderful giveaway. Please enter me in the drawing!
Hmmm. I like the stripes, but it looks like they are divided into lanes for a race or something.
“How does she expect me to take ALL these pins out with just my teeth??”
That is what my cat tries to do. For some reason he loves to chew on my pins, crazy cat.
Love your wonky star, looks so crisp and perfect. 🙂
“Hey Rachel, you missed a spot over here…hand me a pin”!!
“I think she pinned my tail to this thing” I love kitties. I have 4 of my own. Thanks for the giveaway!
“Can I help”? Thanks for the chance for the generous giveaway!
“How many more pins does this quilt need”
Great give away.
“Sshhhh…did you hear that? I think a spider is trapped in the layers and trying to get out.”
I think the kitty is saying ” hope she doesn’t put any more pins in my quilt”
“umm, mom that pin is crooked, should i fix it?”
thought as long as i was here I would play along, but ummmm i’m here for a different reason………………….you left a “no reply” message on my blog, want to come back and try again?? Cyndi

I can’t believe she used this fabric….I told her I wanted Mice on my quilt!!!!!
“Hey, that pin’s still open!”
I can’t imagine why, but cats seem to be genetically engineered to be part of the quilting process!
“Was that a hand width or a paw width between pins?”
Cute picture!!!

Thanks for the chance to win!
Caption: “Hey mom! You missed a spot!”

Ciao is saying, “If I promise not to shed can I lay on your quilt?”
Hello Rachel. I think Ciao is saying, ‘Look mom, a shiny flea!’ LOL Wonderful giveaway. Very pretty fabrics. By the way Ciao is a a very pretty kitty. I made Christmas stockings last year for the grandkids with those wonky starts at the top. I loved them. They work up really quick. Have a great day. Winona

Ouch!!!! I pinned my paw to the quilt!!!

OK Blue means water, so where is MY Fish mum.
Wonderful prize love the expression on the cats when we lay out quilts. Some of mine zoom across the room just to ensure I mix my blocks.
Great giveaway! love the ktty picture.

Mom hurry up and pin. I have a mouse in this sandwich. mmmm mouse sandwich.
I love the wonky star! I need to learn how to make those.
“Okay, there’s 1,2,3,4,5,6 pins in that row, and there’s…..whoa, what was that over there! Oh sugar, I lost count – AGAIN!”
Too fun, thanks for the opportunity – Elizabeth
Hm… looks to be the perfect spot for a hairball deposit. Now to practice angles, trajectory, velocity…
Thanks for the chance!
8 rows down, 20 to go…this basting thing is for the dogs!
“Hey Mom! You missed a spot right there! Needs a pin!”
Thanks for a chance to win your lovely goodies!
I wonder what happens if I unhook these things…
I hate basting too!
to quote Ciao, “these pins bite me.”
I lost my contact lens …Mommmmmm!!!!
Caption: “Shoot! Which path do I take?”
“Meow, that pin hurt.”
My kitties love to help me when I quilt. So the caption might be.
Mine would think the pins are bugs or something to play with.
I think the caption would say. “aren’t you done yet? it’s time for a nap.”
Hope you have a great day.

“Wait, who sewed all my pretty ribbon toys together?”
Thanks for the giveaway!

Lovely giveaway

Thanks

She pinned my paw!
Who’s been sleeping on my blanky???
Billie
My girls say “Wonder if I can unpin these before she notices???”
we have one that looks JUST like this! She was one of 6 orange tabbys, and the only one without socks. Her name? “Barefoot”!
My cat is always on my quilts-and we never complain, do we?
Your kitty might be thinking “No sneaking up on me. This is my quilt!”
BTW, she is a darling.
Thanks for your very pretty giveaway, which I would love to win.
“You missed one here!” Thanks for adding some fun to the giveaway.
Owww! What got me?
Cute cat!
Tha fabrics in your giveaway look lovely!
Oh I love this one sweetie…
How fun this is. I have so enjoyed myself Blog Hopping with this Fall HOP.
I thank each of you for the wonderful opportunities to meet and find your
beautiful blog homes. Yours is so warm and fun.
Now I believe this kitty is saying:
Mom, When is dinner, how much longer until we are done?
Are we there yet? Hu Mom, Are we? You said we have how
many more to go?
Oh I could go on forever, I love captions. How beautiful your work is.
Thank you for sharing sweet friend.
I am Country Wings In Phoenix, your newest follower. I can’t wait
to see what you share next. Please stop by and say hi. I would be
so honored if signed up to follow my blog as well. I love meeting new
friends and sharing new ideas.
Have a beautiful Saturday sweetie. Country hugs, Sherry
One day Ciao kitty was happilly bedding down on his new kitty bed when suddenly he cried out, “Ack!!! Pin swarm! Run for your lives!!!!”
These things wont stop me. I will lay on it anyway. Now, where’s a good spot.
I know she said this was a subtle print, but I’m not seeing the fish.
“You do realize that pinning it all together like this makes it more difficult for me to scratch through to the quilt batting, don’t you?”
“Can I help, please? You never let me help!”
The Quilt Police is on the prowl………
Blue water that feels dry, shiny fish that stick out of the water… who’s she kidding? I’ll survive just fine if she leaves.
I LOVE Pioneer Woman and what a fun giveaway.
My caption would be this:
Gulp, Help!
What are these shiny things?
Its OK mom – I am here to help!
I think you missed one over here.
“Honey, where did you put the pins?”
“Uh, Rachel, how many times do I have to tell you? The pins MUST go in straight!”
Cute cat! Great fabric!
MGM
These pins are not going to make my quilt very comfortable to sleep on.
Caption: Ciao wants some chow.
Thank you for this lovely prize for your first giveaway.
Both my Mum and I quilt, so know one of us will find a home for the FQ in a new quilt (soon). Alternate email mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
Is this my new blanket?
I love to check out the Pioneer Woman’s site. So much fun things on there.
I see you over there trying to sneak off. Straighten up!
“Okay Mom, I know how this looks, but ya gotta believe me…I didn’t bend these pins! They were like that when I got here!!!
Hey Mom, You have more pins. How long have I got to hold this down.
Hello once again, it seems I am one of the no-reply bloggers. With this comment I am hoping to correct my mistake. My blog is My Homemade Life and my user name is sewsecret. My e-mail is sewsecret (at) gmail (dot) com. I hope it is not too late to correct my mistake. Thank you.
Come on….can’t you just space these pins far enough away that I can find a comfy spot????
MMM not sure I would have put that colour there!!! Thank you for the giveaway.
Thanks for the giveaway. The caption ‘ Nape Time’
I KNOW that mouse is under there somewhere!
“I know I just saw one move. So many so little time.” Love your blog and the fat quarters. Just added you to my list of favorite bloggers. Thanks
Bees, Bees. I thought you said there was going to be a quilting bee. All I see is pins. I want Bees; bees mean honey and I like honey. It makes my fur all….oh, oh….sticky. On the quilt. I’d etter run! (think she’d find me under the quilt?)
….I’d “etter run”?? Where’s the B….. Oh, told you there should have been a “B”.
“Mom! These things are pokey! You’re disturbing my happy napping place!”
Now just where did I stop quilting?
“here safety pin, here safety pin, come out come out where ever you are!”
or

“My furry helper”
Thanks for the give away.
jparker@fsu.edu
Navigating a minefield of pins is worth it to get to a cozy napping spot!
I have been trying for 47 minutes to get this pin in……I am about ready to pull my hair out….
I have a cat just like yours. Love cats!!! Thank you for the chance to win those beautiful fabrics.
“Ok mom, I understand why you made me a new bed but why are you adding all the shiny things?”
Ummmm….no bologna….no cheese.
Quilt sandwich? I think not….
“chasing safety pins”
sntbosch@msn.com
Inspector Kitty Cat at your service. Just making sure you have those pins in correctly. Don’t want you to get hurt.
I’m trying to find a good place to sleep!!
How soon will Mom have this quilt ready for me to nap in?
Inspector Ciao on the job making sure it’s done right!
I’ve got Cat Scratch Fever!!! thanks for the chance to win, I enjoyed perusing the blog.
I love Pioneer Woman, but I have never been able to come up with a caption. Alas, I have the same problem here. But is sure is fun to read what others have come up with!
“Help! I got my paw caught in the pin when I closed it.”
“Oh No, Not Again!” I got my paw caught in the pin when I closed it.
Ouch those pins are sharp. Thanks for the giveaway!
“Now where am I supposed to sleep, these pins are in my way – if we just move these…”
No quilt is complete without a little cat hair!
“Ciao, unfinished quilt!!!”
Thanks for the chance – what a fun way to do your give-away!!!
What a cute idea for your giveaway!!
“Didn’t she just cut all of this stuff up? Why would she want to sew it back together? Silly human!”
‘Why does she always mess up my favorite napping place? Can’t she just leave it in a nice pile, without flattening it out and adding all those sharp shiny things to it?’
Thanks for the chance to win!
ktyoung1(at)gmail(dot)com
What are these anyway? They’re certainly not very tasty!
Cat gives quilt inspection before giving approval to complete his new cat bed.
Will the pins keep the DOG away?
Cute fabric for give away.
I love this kind of give away and when I saw that picture the first thing that came into my mind was … ( first I must eaplain this …I don’t know how they call the footpath in english, is it also zebra path? as we called it in Dutch, a striped path where you can cross over the road to the other side)
Well when I saw this picture …
“Can I ?, can I? … no wait … can I now? … oh those damn pins on the path … please remove them because I want to walk over the zebra path to the other side of the road … please hurry … can I ?
That was what Ciao was thinking LOL
BTW the fabric for your give away is just beautiful
“46…47…48…49…50. Yep, you have enough pins in this row.”
Thanks for the giveaway!
Carin
Ciao says “Um – how much longer do you need me to hold this part?”
Thanks for the chance to win your nice giveaway?
This pin, here, two to the left, needs to be fixed. It’s out of line.
Great fabric!
“I know there’s a spot around here that I didn’t get cat hair on!”
i know i hid my toy under here, now she pinned it to this material. i need help!!!!!
“Ssh, I’m counting the pins!!”
Gorgeous fabrics! Thanks for the opportunity to win them.
as soon as am done basting am heading out to play.
“I think she missed a pin right here.” Love the picture. My cat does the same thing, and it makes me laugh, usually:)
I take it this is mine!
Thanks for such a fun giveaway.
“But I thought the song said Follow the YELLOW brick road?!?!?”
My caption for your great pic is ‘wait a minute I thought I was doing the basting’
I get the point! Now move those things so I can sleep.
This looks like a nice spot for a nap.
I read almost all of the comments, there were really funny ones in there, you must have been laughing like crazy for the last days!
And while I am here, I might try myself. How about: “Now these flies are really hard to chew and they taste kind of funny. Next time we are taking mine.”
My cat always chases and eats any spiders, flies or bugs that come across her way so I imagine that she would also chase my pins. Another good reason to never let her enter my work room, I would never find my pins again!
Hoppy, skippy, jumpy, ! Why is this quilt so lumpy?
“ewww….stickers!!!!”
The kitty is sure thinking something. Cute. Cute.
Thanks for this giveaway.
Now where did that open pin go?
Ciao says…”. Whoops, wrong blue strip here!”
Thanks for the chance to win.
Caption: Look at those crooked seams!
The pins are marching one by one Hurrah, Hurrah!
Fun Giveaway.
Caption ” Pinning this quilt would be much easier and go a lot faster if a certain someone with opposable thumbs would help me out instead of taking pictures and laughing at me.”
Thanks for the chance to win your wonderful giveaway!
“I SAW THAT! DID YOU SEE THAT?! I DID!” GREAT give away, thank you!
“Helper” (I know that kind of ‘help’ very well)
“Wait now, what are those crazy things”??
Did you see that? I just saw that car move. Get it!
“There is too much blue in this quilt – a little bit of tabby colour is what it needs”!
Lovely giveaway fabrics – thanks for the chance to win some.
“Is that Mouse under here??”
Ouch! Look at that pile of open safety pins, Rachel! BTW, those are great fabrics!
“Suddenly Ciao realized that using the special cluster pinning technique caused her to run out of pins very quickly.”
I think I did an excellent job, especially since that human had to help.
My cat is all about getting into whatever I’m doing, and ironically he looks a lot like Ciao without a tail….
Caption, you ask? Certainly:
“…and the best way to teach her a lesson? … yes, I believe that was it.”
Get outta here, this is my spot!!
Ha! She can’t add any more pins with me sitting here.
Such a sticky sit-u-ation!
Thanks for the giveaway…so sweet!
“Why are you pinning this? I asked it to be sewed, not pinned!”
“Oops! You missed a spot!”
Thanks for a great giveaway!
Caption – “hmmm… this Frogger looked much easier on the computer”
Such fun FQs 🙂 Thanks for this chance 🙂

I went to your binding tutorial and it was great. I like how you make your sewing line to attach the binding strips together.

What a nice give away! And Ciao is so adorable. I love cats – I have two of my own. I think maybe Ciao was thinking:
“Let me see, where was I?…eleventy-one, eleventy-two, eleventy-three…wait a minute, I’m a Cat, I don’t DO pins!”
Thanks for the chance to play along and good luck to everyone! Happy Fall and hugs to Ciao!
XOXO,

Lovely fabrics in your giveaway!
“Step on a pin will break your stride” -a very poor attempt to use an old childhood saying-“step on a crack will break your mother’s back” Cute kitty.
“Hello I’m Cia…..ouch, that hurt, I wish she’d close those pins up!”
“She got the stripes part right, but the colour is all wrong! They are supposed to be ginger!”
Hope you like my silly efforts. Thanks for the great giveaway.
This would be a great place for a nap if it weren’t for these cotton-pickin’ pins! How’s a cat supposed to get any rest????
Thanks for the giveaway!

do these stripes make me look fat?
Why must my owner always keep me on needles and pins?
why must you use all these pins, I have such a hard time falling asleep with them poking me in the back.
I am entering for my daughter Mel, her computer is down and she called and asked if once again I would enter her in contests, I couldn’t say no as she helps my wife and her mother with their charity quilting projects. I try to support them any way that I can.
thank you for putting our name in your drawing. Florida area

If only I had opposable thumbs, I could help her with this tedious task.
In my best announcer voice, – – “Ciao, you must place the remaining safety pins in their proper position. No lifelines and you must complete this level. Remember you have A MINUTE TO WIN IT! Ciao, your time starts now!”
