First Day of Contest and Latest Quilt

 I have been working on a sample quilt using my Halloweensy Spider pattern.(I was crunched for time and just hung it from my shelves in the sewing room - not a particularly attractive way to display a quilt, but at least you can see it!) The spider web in the center is beaded with tiny mirrored beads. The fabric has touches of the pink throughout, although you don't see much in the photo.

Detail of spider in center panel. I used one of the faces from the fabric.

I added a fly in the upper left hand corner. She is caught in a quilted spider web and like in the old movie, "The Fly", she is crying, "Help me! Help me!" (I just couldn't resist.) Her face is also taken from the fabric. 

So....that's the only quilting I've done lately although I have made pin cushions, bags for tutorials, and I've put together a new quilting room. 
Now I'm anxious to get in there and work on a new design!
P.S.- Remember:

Today is the first day of the Wantabe Quilter contest. Go to Stash Manicure and leave comments to be entered. If you are a "wantabe" quilter, you don't have much in the way of supplies and are not a seasoned quilter, you will comment on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week. Each of those days is a new prize and a new chance to win! When you leave your comment, be sure to say  "Linda of Buzzing and Bumbling sent me" and I will have a chance to win if you win. If you are an experienced quilter, you will do the same thing, except on Tuesday and Thursday of each week. Prizes will be all types of things from thread or fabric to sewing machines!If you haven't signed up with a blog sponsor, send me an email with your name, email address, and phone number (which will be kept private) and I will see that you are signed up!

A New Quilting Room!

 I haven't been near my computer lately because I'm in the middle of a new project - a new quilting room! (Actually, it's my old guest room, but I'm swapping out so that I have a little more space and I'm not so far from the kitchen!)

Here's a tiny sneak peak.  I'll post again in a few days to show you more of what's buzzing.

In the meantime, get prepared for a FUN 3 MONTHS of prizes in the Wantabe Quilter contest thats coming up next week! Be sure you send me your name, email, and phone number (so we can let you know when you win something wonderful!). (Send it in an email instead of posting it here! We don't want your phone number out there for just anyone, right? I promise I won't share it with anyone but Madame Samm, who also promises to not share.) You can only have one sponsor (I would like to sponsor you!) and you can't win without one! If you are already a quilter, you will comment on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Stash Manicure . If you are a Wantabe Quilter (haven't quilted and do not have supplies) you will comment on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. In your comments, mention that Linda from Buzzing and Bumbling sent you. That gives me a chance to win something if you win!  Pretty please with honey on top?

So send me your information and keep your fingers crossed! There are some great prizes being offered and someone has to win!
