The treasury ‘Ahhh’ created by theApple made it to the Front Page of Etsy last night around 9:30. It was so exciting! I actually got to see it up there for an hour! Not only was my Teal Tree Top Tote Bag up, but so was my Aunt Barb’s True Miniature Rag Quilt! What a great way to end the day!

News from Kim's Crafty Apple
The end of my week has been full of some fairly fabulous news (other than the newly caught cold and sore throat...but I'll get over that!). Just wanted to share some of it with you!
First, Scott, from the Poynette Press/DeForest Times came out on Thursday and did an interview with me and took pictures for a story on etsy.com for the paper. I'm very excited to see how that comes out! Publicity, publicity, publicity.

Then, I found out that my Patchwork Corduroy Quilt WON the etsyBABY story time challenge!
And to top it off - my Spring Flowers - Pastels Quilt was chosen by one of the editors of the FaveCraftsBlog to be featured in one of their blog articles!
I also just found out today that my Patchwork Corduroy Quilt was featured on this blog: http://veneziebags.blogspot.com/2009/04/saturday-spotlight_17.html
My other big news this week is that I have decided to split my KimsCraftyApple Store into two stores. I am in the processs of moving all of my Jewelry to a new store called theApple. I hope you keep an eye on it for the next few weeks as it continues to grow and improve. Also remember I am happy to do custom orders on jewelry, hand-dyes or quilts. If you like my style but aren't seeing exactly what you have in mind...convo me and I'll see what I can do!
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

AND NOW here are the entries for this month's challenge! Not quite as many as the Spring Fling Challenge but some amazing work was done!
I will start out the 'show' of the entries with my own..."Patchwork
Corduroy Quilt."
This quilt was inspired by the book 'Corduroy' by Don Freeman for the EtsyBABY Story Time Team Challenge.A patchwork blue, green and brown base make up the main part of the quilt. Light blue faux bois fabric borders this patchwork. 'Corduroy' is made from brown suede and some upcycled cordoroy's. Black buttons make up his eyes and two green buttons are for his overalls (one is 'lost' in the quilt). It is perfect for a little boy or girl...they will love the different textures! The buttons are securely sewn on using extra strong thread (quilting thread). I quilted a random pattern throughout the quilt and appliqued the bear on. My signature fancy stitch border is also quilted on.
TadpoleCreations enter her "The Little Mermaid Lap Tee or Onesie".
Daisy Creek created this: A Bad Case of the Stripes Fun, Twirly Dress and Book Set for the team challenge:
LuLusWoobies was inspired by Dr. Suess' Fox in Sox!
AlamodeFabric made a Giving Tree Wall Art for her challenge entry.
Love Forever Wall Hanging and Photo Frame is LYIS's entry into the challenge.
New Girls Boutique CIRCUS Merry-Go-Round Pants Set Peasant Petal Tie Top and Ruffle Pants was made by RozzisSweetPeas
