A Scrappy Little Freebie

I was visiting Renee Nanneman's online shop, Need'l Love, sometime last week and felt I needed to place an order for a few goodies--I love her fabrics, the Threads books, and the patterns she carries.  AND she has some good bargains too!  When my order arrived, I found she was kind enough to send along a free pattern, Rose Maison, and I thought I should pass it on to one of you.  I think this would be a very good candidate for a scrappy quilt, don't you?

If you're not too challenged by all those pinwheel points and would like a chance to win this pattern, just leave me a comment telling me you want to be entered into the drawing, and I'll draw a winner Thursday evening--come back on Friday to see if your name was picked!  Wouldn't this quilt look stunning with black as the background color and lighter/brighter scraps?  Kind of Amish-ish?

Speaking of black, let me show you what I found--and purchased--over at Need'l Love.  You know I'm a sucker for all things Halloween, right?  I'm looking forward to making this one before long.  Halloween is less than six months away--can you believe it?!

I also purchased a small bundle of black fat quarters--she has some great bundles.  If you hop over there--and you can do that by clicking on the shop name in the first sentence--check out the special offer near the top of the page to the right.  This week it's the Strawberry Threads book for only $10.  I have the book and there are some fun projects--you can see photos of them right there on the website.  So many projects, so little time!
