  1. Hey what a great cause. V and company is great. She is so awesome too. I feel bad for all that's going on in her husband and community. I hope things get better quickly.

    V always has always been a fav of mine. I love how on trend she is wiht quilting, fashion and photography.

    Thanks for the chance.

  2. Okay Lindsey (my soon to be 14 year old) and I love the Abby Tote and the Flirty Skirt. You are amazing, and I don't know when you have time for all this. I totally need to get back into sewing though. In fact, I even got my machine fixed last week. So I have no excuses anymore!

  3. I love the Abby Tote...so much so that I already purchased it. I also just purchased some fabric to go along with it!! So exciting.

    Vanessa is such a talented person. I hope things begin to look up for she and her family.

  5. the abbey tote and the favorite bag

    how thoughtful of you! my husband was without a job for over 3 months and just started back to work this last monday. i know how scary the days ahead can be for her but i also know that we have a God who can meet their needs just as He met ours!

    she is super talented! i've seen her featured on ucreate many times! i love the bunting quilt and i've been considering trying out the knit bracelets!

    thanks for the giveaway!

  6. That's very kind of you. I love all of Vanessa's creations. She is very talented. What I like is that she has simple and very stylish ideas. I love her quilts (though I never made any quilts) and her beautiful bags.

    I am with you on the Abby tote, but I am REALLY in love with the ruffled pillow! :)~ She has a very creative eye, and a very good friend in you!!! I look forward to following her!!! :)

  9. Abby tote is cute and I love both the pillows- now I just need to remember to grab your old sewing machine in case I ever want to sew! So many cute things so little time. Great job on the blog Hydee!
