My Favorite Things...220...More Fun with Tammy & A Giveaway Too!

WELCOME TO DAY TWO OF OUR BROWNIE POINTS BLOG-ALONG-ATHON!

Tammy is selling the Fast Flowers Quilt Kit from her website, click here for the details.

You'll be able to get the FREE Fast Flowers Quilt Pattern by clicking here.

My Fast Flowers Tip Sheets will be available as a FREE download on the side bar by TOMORROW.

We're having a second day with Tammy, so that you make sure to see her blog A Tadd More, and her bright and friendly website as well.  I'm hoping she'll have some more pictures of her fabuloso store as well...check out her online store here.

Rumor has it Tammy's got some goodies to give away today, so check her out!

From the first time I saw her, Tammy has always loved bright jewelry, clothing & accessories, it's no wonder that she loves our Fun Flowers Fabric line.  She's done oodles of nifty bag patterns, and probably hundreds of quilt designs with her mom Velda at her side.

I wanted to share some fond memories from a trip that Tammy took with friends & family to visit me in New York City.

A few years ago Tammy, Velda, Tammy's daughter and a gaggle of friends all convened in New York.  With me as their gourmand guide, we walked for hours & hours in Manhattan's SOHO, Nolita, Greenwich Village & Gramercy Park.  We ate French pastries at a teeny bakery called Ceci Cela (try the Napoleans with Fresh Raspberries). We shopped till we almost dropped and ended up at Les Halles (Anthony Bourdain's old restaurant) at the end of the day for some yummy "Steak Frites". 

Here's Tammy & her Mom below...(see what I mean with the bright accessories?!!)

 

Recently Velda's been battling cancer, and I know you'll all want to wish her the best in health and a speedy recovery, so that she can ride shot gun with Tammy & her posse' on another trip again very soon. 

WE LOVE YOU VELDA!

For Every 10 people who leave a message of LOVE & SUPPORT FOR VELDA, I'll give away a free ribbon-tied fat quarter bundle from my personal stash. 

So let's get to it girls...Let's feel the love & send out our best wishes to VELDA! 

Please, only one get well wish for Velda per person.

When you leave Velda your wish doesn't matter, as we'll be drawing your names from a hat (collected from this blog post) at the end of this event.

I'm guessing this will be in the new year, so keep checking back for the names of the prize winners.

Lots more to show & tell & give away!

Y'all come back now...

Get well soon, Velda - I hope whatever treatment is in your future does the trick, and in times ahead you can look back and see cancer as only a blip on your pathway.

Velda: I have just prayed for you; for strength today, and that you won't feel worried, and that God will grant you many, many more years to hang out with your daughter and friends. Stay warm, stay inside, let other people go to germy places for you, hibernate--then you'll be perfectly ready to go play in the Spring!

I lost both my mother and aunt to cancer 15 years ago. My mother-in-law is a cancer survivor. I wish you the best of luck in your fight Velda. You'll be in my prayers.

Hey Holly and everyone! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all of your thoughts and prayers for my mom. I am going to call her and read every comment to her. You have made my day today! Made me cry, but hey, whats a few tears between friends right! God has been so faithful to see my mom and my family through this tough year. She is a little "down" right now because of the holidays but I know she will feel much love from all of your messages to her. Thanks again to all of you, and to you Holly, that was a memorable trip for her and we talk about it still! God Bless you and Merry Christmas everyone!
