My letter is E for EMBROIDERY
I knew I wanted to incorporate embroidery and a little appliqué with my letter. What else starts with the letter E? Eggs of course! My E features an embroidered momma bird on branches watching over her nest of eggs. I added a couple of borders to make it fit in a standard frame. The fabric is from the line Piecemakers which is available now at your local quilt shop!

Questions and Answers...
My letter is.... E
What are your initials? KLS
My favorite quilt block.......... probably the Bear Paw. I love blocks with points.
My favorite memory about school.... Christmas vacations!
My favorite book, movie or television show starting with your letter...... Movie - E.T.
I love quilting because............I love being creative and spending time with my quilting friends.
What if everyday was a holiday?...... Everyday is a holiday in my world!
Is there an object, tool or anything that you cannot work without? Erasers for sure. I even give them a special place on my desk
Do you have a quote or motto you live ( or work) by? Reach for the stars / It is what it is / and my favorite..... Wag more bark less (I've been looking for this bumper sticker forever)
Something I like...... wool pincushions, good movies, a good glass of red wine, a fire in the fireplace, a heated mattress pad in winter, old silver thimbles, huge trees, listening to the waves on the beach, all types of adhesives (tapes and glues - LOVE THEM).
Somewhere I have been...... The summer between 4th and 5th grades my family took a 2 month road trip across the U.S. From Oregon to Rhode Island, Maine to Florida to L.A. and somehow hitting most of the states along the way. I think my dad drove out of his way just to say we were in another state! We camped in our tent trailer at KOA campgrounds (Florida in July - not a good idea). Mom cooked on a camp stove every night. My sisters and I took turns sitting in the middle of the back seat. I remember we sang songs from musicals like Camelot and Oklahoma during the drives.
Now I have an aversion to long road trips, but I've been to France, Germany, Austria, and Belgium. A long flight is better than a long car ride in my book!
Somewhere I want to go...... Italy, Ireland, Scotland, England
Someone I know.......... Does this mean someone famous? hmmmm..... my sister Bonnie (Sullivan - All Through the Night) is kind of famous : ) If I mention Bonnie I need to mention my other sister too. She taught middle school for 30 years and now volunteers for the Red Cross - pretty cool lady.

I remember long summer road trips with 3 in the back seat. We trekked across Texas almost every summer. Rolled down windows were our air conditioner. How did we survive that??? Love your fabric line - and that you love adhesives. I'm partial to office supplies.
Thanks for the chance to win. Love your E. Blessings!
What a fun prize to win. I would be thrilled. I know what you mean about long car rides. My Dad was career Air Force, so we made many a long car ride. We just learned to get in the car, find your spot & tried not to pick on each other too much, unless we did it quietly.
Love the fabric and love the embroidery on your letter E!
Please respond to email:

Your parents must be saints to travel for two months with three little girls in the back seat. Oh boy, the memories.
You have a beautiful line of fabrics and a lovely quilt.

I too took a long road trip as a child- only one month though. And we had a drive camper instead of a tent. My memories of this trip were great. Thanks for sharing.
I love the embroidery in your block. Thanks so much for the chance at the great giveaway.
I want to learn how to embroidery and after looking for a class my mom said, "I know how to do that!" and then I remembered all the jackets and other items she sewed on when I was little. Getting a lesson very soon!
I have driven across the country from Washington State to Florida 5 times by myself in the last 4 years. I love driving alone - I get to go where I want on my schedule! Popping in to spend a day or two with family and friends...so much fun! I don't mind long plane rides either - South Korea, Australia and this past summer to England with 4 quilting buddies!!! And oh drat, both ways across the Atlantic we got bumped to business class :) Thank you for the great giveaway!!!
