Show Your True Colors!

We just can't get enough Tracey this week!

Head on over to TraceyJayQuilts for a Rural Jardin Layer Cake giveaway sponsored by yours truly!  You may also find a little promotion code for 10% off at Burgundy Buttons.

Then, check out the Moda Bakeshop today to see what Tracey has used this layer cake for.  What a delightful way to show your Patriotism, and just in time for Memorial Day!

Tracey is also auctioning one of these quilts to support Operation Family Fund.  Operation Family Fund is an organization whose mission (from their website) is to "assist the injured and families of the those who have been injured or killed as a part of the Global War on Terrorism, whether domestic or abroad, military or civilian, with financial grants for transitioning to their new circumstances and achieving financial self-sufficiency.  Check out their website here.

While you at Tracey's Blog, be sure and notice her pillow using the Mod Medallions pattern by GiGi's Thimble.  I love the colors she used!

Remember- while I would love to hear from you, you gotta head over TracyJayQuilts to list your comments that qualify you to enter the Rural Jardin Giveaway!  Good luck!

Tracey has Gone Crazy!!

Maybe Tracey has spend a little too much time cooped up in the sewing room!  Maybe Tracey has spent a little too much time working on those inspiring pillows.  Maybe Tracey has spent a little too much time fondling fabric! 

Whatever the reason, Tracey of TraceyJayQuilts has gone a little crazy and has made this delighful tutorial just for BB Readers.

Check it out!

And when you're done, head on over to her blog and show her a little Burgundy Love!

May Warmer of the Month

Scentsy's May Warmer of the Month is this adorable Nature's Haven Full sized warmer.  Welcome the sweetness of spring finches with Nature’s Haven. A creamy base with a low-sheen finish is embossed with newly budding branches, delicate leaves and gracefully poised birds that encircle the base. Awash with pastel tones of pale green, yellow and fawn, this hand-painted spring scene has the appearance of watercolors. Sitting atop the base, a cleverly designed dish shaped like a nest is visited by a single finch, ready to alight – or perhaps take flight. Perfect for family rooms, master bedrooms or baths, Nature’s Haven invites spring into your home in the most cheerful way.  Buy this warmer now for $3.00 off!
