Here They Are!

Who says you can't have a picnic in November?

Not us Schnibblers!!!

I hope everyone enjoyed the Year of Schnibbles parade this month!

I have to thank all of you who participated again this month! You guys are so amazing and creative... and extremely inspirational!

We have our winners picked... randomly, both the old fashion way (that's me) and computer generated! (that's Sherri)

I have chosen, once again from Sherri's blog, A Quilting Life,

and Sherri has chosen from here.

Then there is Miss Carrie who has chosen a prize winner... one from each of our blogs!

We have wonderful donated prizes this month from our featured quilt shops including a new one to our group. Quilter's Paradise is hosting one of the prizes this month. They not only have a wonderful walk in store and on-line store but they just began distributing their patterns... everywhere, including the Fat Quarter Shop.

The Quilt Shoppe is back with us again this month along with Cottage Quilts and the delicious Quilt Taffy shop- oh, and of course, the Fat Quarter Shop!

the Quilt Shoppe is offering a Tuffet pattern along with your choice of charm pack.

Quilt Taffy has mini Tuffet kits made up for our winner to pick from.

Quilters' Paradise is giving a winner a wonderful gift certificate of $25.

Cottage Quilts also is giving one of our winners a $25 gift certificate, aka mini shopping spree!

and the Fat Quarter Shop has a $25 gift certificate ready for one of our winners! What could be easier than that... you get to pick what you would like! All sizes fit!

and saving the best for last...

Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. and designer extraordinaire is picking two winners, each will receive a Tuffet pattern, a Sweet Liberty pattern and layer cake!

Which reminds me... Carrie told me that Sweet Liberty will be going out in the mail next Monday. Lake Havasu Quilts (one of our featured shops) and the Fat Quarter Shop are two of the shops that will be having patterns shipped to them!

Okay enough of all my babbling...let's get to the winners.

Carrie's winners are:

Simone de Klerk Stitchery and Quilting and Jo from Jo's Country Junction.

Sinta's winners are:

Trisha at TLC Stitching will receive the Fat Quarter Shop gift certificate.

Sandy M of The Textile House. Sandy will receive the gift certificate from Cottage Quilts.

Sherri's winners are:

Kelly of Charming Chatter who will receive the prize from Quilt Taffy.

Heather Quilt or Stitch blog, who gets the gift from the Quilt Shoppe,

and Cindy from Hyacinth Quilt Designs, who will be receiving the gift certificate from Quilters Paradise.

Now, I have one more important announcement: I need to pick one more winner from last month's parade.

One of our winners declined, because she had her Winter White entered, so her gift certificate will go to.............

Thelma from the Cupcakes and Daisies blog.

Congratulations everybody and thank you for participating in A Year of Schnibbles!!!

A Second Lookie Lou at Cindy Lou Who

Julie at Jaybird Quilts is having a 100th post giveaway... and she did good!!!

She went to Market with a plan and a list... and now she is celebrating! She picked out great goodies for you to win... so all you have to do is "enter-to-win"... as they say!

I didn't realize that she was had been blogging about the same amount of time that I have.

I haven't reached my 100th post yet... but it's coming soon.

So tell you what,

go on over and give Julie some blogging love and enter to win her giveaway!

Then next week or so, when it's my time to celebrate we'll have our own giveaway right here. It's just a win, win all the way around!

and speaking of winning...

Cindy Lou Who and I wanted to acknowledge the November

Schnibbles winners one more time!

So I thought we could have another look at the quilts of

our (randomly picked) winners:

Lanette from Crafting in Tataville blog.

By Judith (n0 blog).

KJ Quilts... aka Quilt Quilter.


Megan's of Crooked Seams


From Carol at Carol's Craft Blog.


Happy Cottage Quilter!

Kviltsinta blog... of Stina's.

I just loved all the variations of this quilt. Everybody did an amazing job! I want to thank you all for participating in the parade and also for taking the time to visit the Parade of Schnibbles on both my blog here and over at A Quilting Life; Sherri did a great job organizing while I was here, there and everywhere...

A Year of Schnibbles Parade #2

This is our last (or latest) entry into the parade by Quilter Going Bananas... aka Katherine.

It's another one with great placement of colors! I really like the way this one flows!

Edited 11/2 Oh Lord help me! I am so sorry ladies... I have 3 more quilts here to add to the Parade of Schnibbles! I have been out of town and trying to do this all between 5 computers... and it obviously has gotten the best of me!

This Cindy Lou Who was done by Quilt or Dye. She did a wonderfully bright version... I am wondering if she used any of her fabulous dyed fabrics??? Can you see?

I needed to add Marianne's quilt to the Parade! I lost hers between computers and it is so adorable... that I had to put it up... front and center! Marianne's blog is D is for Dovey.

She calls her CLW Roo Who! See whole story on her blog.

This one is by Cynthia of hyachinthquiltdesigns! Done in the fabulous Sweetwater fabrics!

Hi Blogettes! Here we are again and Sherri at A Quilting Life and I are sharing the entries to the Parade of Schnibbles! So make sure that you visit both of us and see all the quilts! We had a great turnout of quilts again this month! You guys are good!

I thought I would share with you the definition of a Schnibble as found on Carrie's website.

Schnibble: noun A scrap of fabric; a leftover bit of cloth; a small piece. The word has a German origin and is found primarily in German settlements in the Midwest. From the Dictionary of American Regional English published by the Harvard University Press.

So now let me show you my newest example:

This is Picnic. And this will be our Schnibble for November!!!

... and wouldn't it be nice to have a little picnic before we say goodbye to Autumn altogether?

I love basket blocks and I'm glad that I met this challenge. I used the Panache group that I acquired at Cottage Quilts. The pattern gives you options on 5 different basket blocks... so you can make it more of a sampler, which is like the picture on the cover of the pattern.

I thought I would keep it simple for myself... and kept them all the same...

I wonder what you will do?

2 charm packs, 7/8yd of background and you're good to go!

I hope you have fun with this one... I just love it.

So now, let's get this parade started!

First up is an entry by Lanette from Tattaville, I have to mention

that I love the music on her blog... she made her special Cindy Lou Who classic style!


I love the red white and blue with the lighter blue thrown in.

This is Trisha's Cindy Lou Who and can be seen on her blog: TLC Stitches

Allyson's entry has a warm holiday look... her blog is Fat Cat Quilts where you can see her cat's approval going on!


This is beautiful and made by Sandy Feigner! I don't think she has a blog...

if I'm wrong please let me know :)

Here is one by Megan from Crooked Seams blog done in April Cornel fabrics. So sweet... I love the romantic look it gives.

KJ Quilts (aka the Quiet Quilter), did this one in wonderful fall fabrics!

Karen K .... made this C.L.W. I like the way

the stars stand out in the corners and in the middle!

Judi Smokey from the Netherlands decided that this one was done...

as far done as the cat would allow!

Pam Walker (no blog) sent in this little Cindy Lou Who

done in the lighter colors and with a nice twist to the border.

This one is adorable! She made little pumpkins in the stars!

It's by Jewel, of the Jewel's Arm Candy blog.

Annette's blog is called Sunshine Yellow and this quilt looks happy doesn't it?

Alicia has the blog: "Where Do I Go From Here". My answer is don't go anywhere...

for goodness sakes... you are in Maui. Can it get any better? I like this fabric group with this pattern. It looks so fun!

Judith did a beautiful job on her Cindy Lou Who.

My favorite Holiday fabric group from Minick and Simpson.
Above is Cindy Lou Who made by Lisa D. from Stashmaster ... love it!



This one has wonderful contrast... by Lisa Burns from the Candlelite Quilting blog.

Lynda G made this Cindy Lou Who... her blog is From My Farmhouse Window. She has a sweet story about this quilt and where she is going to hang it on her blog.

Sandie of Crazy 'Bout Quilts did her version ~wonderfully festive!!!

Heather of Quilt or Stitch did a patriotic version... very fun!

I know that this is Winter White... and it did not make it into the September Parade of Schnibbles but I thought that you would want to see it just the same... it's by Quilt or Dye.

Sandy of Loves to Quilt

Sweetest Cindy Lou Who yet! Do you see the hearts in the quilting?

Dona of Stitch By Stitch...did not only one Cindy Lou Who, but two of them!

the second one by Dona

Thelma, Cupcakes and Daisies did a larger version in red, white and blue and fussy cut the stars in the center of the stars! How smart is that! Love it!

Here is Cara's Cindy Lou Who, the border stripe is great! Check out her blog: Cara Quilts.

Rita designed a nice crisp looking CLW quilt. Sorry, no blog.

Those nine-patches around the center star pop out so nice!

Julie, Stitches of Love did another patriotic version... it looks so good in those colors!

Here is a Cindy Lou from Julie at Red Key Quilting, that red just pops out nicely!


From RSIS Landcrafts is this fun CLW by Robin.

An Encourager says that this quilt taught her patience... actually it was PATIENCE.

Her story about it on her blog made me laugh! I'll bet she wasn't alone!

Well, thanks for stopping in and viewing our Parade of Schnibbles!

Watch to see the prizes awarded from our generous Featured Quilt Shops. The links to those shops are on my sidebar if you're in the mood for a little bit more browsing around!

The prizes will be announced on Sherri's blog, A Quilting Life.

I am up in Chico for the weekend to watch my oldest son run a 10K.

So have fun... and I can't wait to see our winners!

*** I am coming up on my 100th post very soon, so keep watching- a giveaway will be coming!!!

A Morsel or Two

There have been some great giveaways out there in blogland lately.

This one caught my eye this morning... so I thought I would play along.

This is 1 of the 5 giveaways that Jackie at Canton Village Quiltworks is giving away.

She brought them back from Market just to share the fun!

This fabric group is too cute... so you might as well give it a try over there. Jackie has a really fun blog... so it's worth just going over there to look around!

You also might enjoy, La Vie En Rosie... Carrie's blog this morning.

I'm telling you, this girl never sleeps! Maybe Miss Rosie sleeps enough for the both of them.

This is one of the new Schnibble patterns that she has up on her blog.

You might have to go look and see the other one's she has just created!

You are going to love them!

Note to self: go get some of that Simple Abundance fabric! Now!
