| I'm so happy to welcome "Grow Your Blog" party goers and wish to thank Vicki at 2 Bags Full for hosting this great event. I'm starting off with my give-aways this year. I have TWO prize packages. The first one is pictured above: it includes a fun vintage valentine print tote that I just found at an antique mall, two hand appliqued kitchen towels and two hot pad that I have made for you and five of my "flossies" which are little dress shaped embroidery floss holders. Due to the valentine theme of this prize, I will hold the drawing on Feb. 7th. |
 | |
| This is the second prize package. It includes a rare, vintage Pyrex bowl in a peachy pink, two hand embroidered kitchen towels, a package containing some ribbons and trims and a little notebook for your handbag. The drawing for this prize will be on Feb. 15th. All you have to do to enter is leave me a comment. You will be entered in the drawings for both prizes. It's that easy. |
 |
| I will tell you a bit about my blog. I started it 3 years ago and it is a place for me to share ideas, projects and a lot more. It is primarily a quilting blog. This is a quilt I finished earlier this year. |
 |
| This is a quilt I did a few years ago, displayed in a little vintage shop that I am involved with. |
 |
| I enjoy making aprons (it's one way to use some of the fabric I've stockpiled). This is a set I made this summer for a Mom and her little boy and girl. I enjoy designing them and embellishing them with hand applique. |
 |
| I do quite a bit of handwork...it gives me something to do in front of the TV in between quilts. |
 |
| You will also find on this blog that I share pics of my adventures in shopping and traveling in and around the northwest (this was at a local lilac festival). |
 |
| This gorgeous garden cottage in actually in the backyard of a friend. I love sharing special places I find. |
 |
| You may wonder how my blog got it's name. Well, I do love ribbon and glitter and gift wrapping, but I love so much more and would like to share it with you. I hope you have enjoyed your visit and will want to come again. I love visiting other blogs and look forward to meeting you. -Derrith |

How lovely to meet you! That summerhouse is so wonderful - I would love to have my own craft cabin...but as we don't even have a garden, I think that's impossible! Your quilts are lovely!

Derrith, I've so enjoyed my visit this morning at you blog! :)
Hi Derrith
Good to meet you - what fabulous quilts you've made - I especially like the first one!
I'm visiting from England!
Hi Derrith, it's so nice to meet you :) Your blog is a wonderful place and I know I'll be spending some time here just perusing and getting to know you. I quilt as well as cross stitch, make jewellery and generally have a few irons in the fire at once.
Derrith,
It is so nice to meet you. You have a beautiful blog and I know it will be a lovely place of inspiration. I started quilting about two years ago and I love it. I, too, like a dabble in a bit of everything. I look forward to seeing what you create throughout the new year.

I miss the quilt group, but get to see what everyone is up to through your pictures and posts. You must know that you are so talented- keep up the good work!
Hi Derrith. Your blog looks lovely. What a great range of photos you've included. I hadn't thought of making aprons from scraps but it makes sense.
Hello Derrith
Lovely to see you here!
You have a lovely blog and I will be coming back for inspiration often!
I was sure I was already a follower of your blog - I will join again via Friend Connect. I'm having a few problems with it tonight so I'll come back in the morning to double check - must be all the GYB people following each other!!
I would love you to come over and enter my Giveaway - a vintage fabric and lace collage.
Have fun and enjoy the party!
Hugs and blessings
Shane
It's me again - Yea it worked!
What a lovely giveaway - I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I am slow to the party but that is okay. Your blog is very lovely and your quilts are so beautiful. I see you are a fellow washingtonian. I live in Spokane. I am now a happy follower.
So glad for the Grow Your Blog event to find wonderful blogs like yours! I have the greatest admiration for your hand work. Absolutely beautiful. That takes great talent and patience to do quilting or needlework. I am your newest follower and hope to come back soon to see what you are up to. Thank you for offering the wonderful give a way. I would love to win!
