Amy and I have since become better friends through our blogs and email. She's a sewer and creative person who also happens to be one of the NICEST people I've had the pleasure of knowing. I was really impressed when I saw this image on Design Mom last spring! I didn't know Amy was a photographer too - it only made sense though. (By the by, that's a great post on teaching your kids to sew.)
So I snatched one up from her Etsy shop. And put it in a frame and hung it on the wall in my cramped little sewing corner, er, um, I mean studio. I ♥ it so much!
To my surprise, Amy had included several sets of notecards.
featuring each of these images. I just love the old wooden spools.
A company that distributes to quilt stores just placed a large order for them! (That's a good sign!)
and she sent me enough to share.
Her cards and prints are printed on nice heavy paper and will certainly look great in your studio too! And for just this week, Amy has put everything on sale 20% off! Thanks, Amy! What an affordable way to have some original art!
I have two sets of notecards (4 cards each) up for grabs!

I think they're all my favourites but I would love to get the notecards and frame them in a group frame--I think it would look really smart--and then I could have all her images to look at!

Hi,
I just very happlily added you to my blogroll - Susan
I love the spools! The shop looks really great.
Thanks for the giveaway! I found you on the Old Red Barn Q-Along. I LOVE the old spools because they remind me of my mom. I still have many spools of her thread, and sew on her '57 Singer. I'd love to have artwork that matches the vintage of my machine! (Come to think of it, that's MY vintage too...)
I would love the spools # 4 so fun my sewing area is my girls play room too and I have it decorated in bright colors this would be perfect in there. I am a follower too.
And now I'm a follower too!
Linked back to here from our family blog! (Hope I win! And you have a great blog- you are one busy and creative woman!)
I love spool #1 and #4. I would love to put this in my sewing area. :) Love these lots!
I am a subscriber now. I love your blog... I have been poking around looking at everything:)

And because I get an error code everytime I try to post with an openID, I am Allyson in Alaska at fatcatquilts.typepad.com. Feel free to let me know what I have to do to make blogger like me enough to not error me. :(
And yes! Since I just found your blog today, I will now be a follower. I have heard of Justin's photography skills from cjane's blog. I love how small the blogging world can be.

Amy and Amy, great photos! Perfect site for nourishing that creative spirit! Sewtakeahike recommends that my birthday quilt, the Storyteller, would be good company for any of these prints, while I think the Spools #1 would be fun framed in brightly colored (this is Penny we're talking about) layered mats upon her sewing room wall! Thanks for sharing the joy!
I really like the spools of thread from the top look, although seeing all the color is great too. But that one with the tops of the spools would be my favorite. :)
I am a follower. :)
I blogged about your giveaway... http://birdolovemoo.blogspot.com/
I really like Spools #1 (spool tops)...very creative!
I'm a follower. ya
I think my mom would like the spool ends they are pretty cool. I love the vintage.
Oooo, that thread looks lovely framed and mounted! Found your blog through Robyn. (wishing I knew about it before the summer social retreat, maybe April did. She sent out about 100 invites!) Anyway, we shall add you to the Winter Social Retreat guest list ;-)
