Money Magnet

Have you ever given one of those gifts that the person opens and you just know that they are disappointed yet they are fighting to keep a smile on their face?

Possibly spent hours looking for that perfect gift. Or maybe you spent hundreds of hours making the gift that you thought was perfect.

It’s not that they are ungrateful.

After all, when you first handed the beautifully wrapped package to your son, his eyes lit up and he was anxious to rip the ribbon and paper off to see what was inside.

He knew you always spent time searching for that really fun and unusual gift. And he couldn’t wait to see what was in store today.

The top of the box flew off. Then the tissue paper. All of it landing clumsily on the floor.

Finally he saw the actual “thing,” and instantly you knew that all of the time you had spent choosing the gift was wasted!

The unhappiness was written all over his face – and yours, too.

Avoid all of that disappointment by giving a totally unique gift – an Original Money Quilt® or Money Magnet.

Each Original Money Quilt® is hand made, and there are several designs.

And, if you love the colors of Fall, you are in luck – our Fall design is on sale. Check it out:

Money Magnet - really!

 

Sesame Street Day

It’s been a long time since I checked in with Sesame Street on TV, and I imagine things have changed a little.

But probably not too much!

Because it’s Sesame Street Day, I took a look at the website and was amazed at the fantastic resources available for kids – games, videos, meet the muppets, and even a special area for kids to customize their online Sesame Street experience.

Wow!

One thing hasn’t changed, though, and that is the fun and casual atmosphere – kind of like living in blue jeans!

When quilting daughter, Stephanie, and engineer son, Bubba, were young, kids didn’t wear blue jeans.

Now, it’s easy to find blue jeans for small children – and why not?

So, when they wear out – why not turn them into a Blue Jeans Quilt?

This design also includes cotton or flannel, so you can include some special shirt fabrics in your quilt and make it a true memory quilt for a child – or their mom (or grandma, great-grandma ….you get the idea).

And this is really an easy quilt to make:
