In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to have a little pre-giveaway giveaway. If you have ever wanted to give hexagons a try, here is your chance. I'll provide the winner with 45 hexagons cut with my Go! Baby from my own stash. This is just enough to make my new favorite pillow I posted yesterday. The winner chooses the fabric: scrappy, Bliss, Riley Blake All Star, Denyse Schmidt Picnic, 12 Days of Christmas or whatever else I can dig up. There are two possible entries:
- Be a follower AND leave one comment telling us what your plans are for the weekend.
- Blog and/or tweet about this little giveaway and leave a second comment with the link(s). My twitter link is the_blue_chair.
I hope you all have a great weekend, and a wonderful holiday for those in the US or Canada.

And tomorrow, visit Ikea and a place that sells acres and acres of lilies. Hoping to take some pics while there. Then I'm coming home to see my husband for a day before he heads back to his job!

What a wonderful pre-giveaway giveaway!! Since I'm Canadian, we've already had our long weekend. I spent it lounging in the backyard with the kids building a fort out of the giant box my new patio furniture came in. And I managed to sneak in a little sewing and spray painting too. Perfection!! BTW... I'm a follower and have been for a while...
I'm a follower and this weekend I will probably be getting our house and yard back in order since I'm just back from a 10 day vacation. If the weather is great, there's lots of outdoor work to be done. If the weather is not great, there's lots of indoor things to be done. Either way, I'll be happy.
My plan was to get some sewing done but I ended up at the pool with family having a cookout. Oh well I can always sew a day it rains.
