Dawn over at Sweet as Cinnamon is having a giveaway if you tell about how your blog got it's name. Now I have to say my blog name underwent a change from Mamaspark's World to Mama Spark's World. Why you ask? Because some folks kept calling me mama's park! I AM NOT A PARK! (Those of you that have followed for a long time already know that).
My DD1 has a nickname, it is herself in her dragon form and her dragon form's name is Sparkle. You may remember the small quilt of the purple dragon I did awhile back. No? Well then, meet Sparkle.
So when I was trying to come up with a name, DD1 was being called Sparkle so she suggested Mama Spark, mama of Sparkle. That's how the My DD1 has a nickname, it is herself in her dragon form and her dragon form's name is Sparkle. You may remember the small quilt of the purple dragon I did awhile back. No? Well then, meet Sparkle.
On to other news,lest you think all I did was apple canning all weekend, I did not! Besides the usual, grocery shopping, Target stop, banking, laundry etc, etc, etc, I managed to make my first block in Moose On The Porch's FQ Star QAL.
I am using Flower Sugar for my fabrics. I am really liking this block.
I also came across a dish towel with a piece of striped fabric that needed to be sewn to it to finish the towel so I did that too.
I did manage to machine sew binding on the chenille blanket and one of the Christmas Tree quilts too! So not too shabby.
Last night I got a call from my son who was out riding our Harley. The bike broke, he needed a tow truck and someone to come and get him and follow him to the dealership and pick him up. So that shot all my plans right out the window. I got back home around 11:30 and toddled right off to bed! How was your night?? ~XOP~

What a fun story!! I had to "LOL" at the Mama's Park part! Love the little towel; very nice. My afternoon didn't quite go as planned, either. Ah well, best laid plans of mice and men, and all that, right?!? :)
What a great story! I always thought your name was because as mothers we are the spark for our children and you were hoping to do more than just give your kids your advise.
I believe that you have sparked my creativity at least once. :) Thank You
Those Flower Sugar fabrics are great. I love that block.

Love the banner, sparkle, Moose block....you are busy.
I love reading how everyone's blogs got named! Your star is wonderful. Even though I wouldn't have bought the fabrics, I like your star, which tells me I need to get out more. LOL
What a great blog name story! I always just figured you were a mom and Sparks was your last name.
