It's my Birthday! Time for a GIVEAWAY!

It's that time of year again ~ I'm turning another year older!  Only this year, I'm taking the whole week off and spending time eating out, getting pampered, and even taking off with my hubby and no kids for a few nights!  


So what better way to celebrate on my blog than with a giveaway?!  And with the help of my wonderful sponsor, the Fat Quarter Shop, here's what's up for grabs:

Not one, but TWO fat quarter bundles of Patricia Bravo's Bespoken fabric line.
 One winner will get the Lush colorway:


and the other winner will get the Fresh colorway:



So how do you enter?
  • I love to quilt and sew, (I sometimes think it's the glue that holds this stay-at-home-mama together).  Tell me what you want to see more of in 2012 - quilts?  childrens clothing?  accessories?  bags/purses? something else?
  • If you are a follower (new or old), you can leave a second comment.
  • If you blog about this giveaway, you can leave a third comment with the link.
Winner will be picked by random.org on January 16th.  Open internationally.  Good luck!

Quilts. Quilts. And more quilts. I'm continually amazed at the interesting quilt ideas people come up and then share with the world via their blogs. Thank goodness for quilt bloggers!

Cass said... #

Happy birthday!!! Enjoy your time away with hubby.

I love seeing anything but especially like bags and totes. :)

Lori said... #

I began to follow quilting blogs Originally just searching for ideas for new quilts. As I follow I have been amazed at the talented and creative women whose lives I have been fortunate to glimpse. The surprise is how I have enjoyed all the parts of the blogs that are not quilts! I enjoy being taken outside of my own little box, both with non-quilting sewing ideas and the bits of everyday lives that fill these creative minds. Blog what calls you!

SassyCathy said... #

Well - my brain has already grown from all I have been seeing. I learn so much from surfing the internet and quilt blog hopping.
I'd really like to learn more about how you design a pattern for fabric. What steps are in the process. What software do you use? Photo software? How do you choose a color palette? All of the steps in actually creating a design for quilting fabric. That would be very interesting.
AND - more quilts :)

I'd like to see more small useful projects. Some I can do quickly then use, or give as gifts.

Lisa said... #

I think seeing some small projects seems more doable for some of us. All the quilts are lovely but unattainable for some. Really its about priorities right? Personally I love a good mix of simple quilts and a few projects thrown in. Happy Birthday to you! You must be, what, 25?
