Giveaway Day!



Giveaway Day

It is finally here!  The big biannual event we all look forward to.  So many blogs to check out, giveaways to enter, and projects to be inspired by.  Yep, it is Giveaway Day hosted by Sew Mama Sew.








If this is your first visit here, welcome.  If you are already a reader, I have some news to share!  Many of you have expressed you enjoy seeing what I do with scraps. So for 2014, I will be sharing all sorts of tips for scrap storage, quilt inspiration, tutorials for scrap quilts and hopefully a Scrap-A-Long or two.  Whew...Now that it is in writing, I'm committed!  We will be starting slow but if the support is there, I'm ready to help you work through your scrap bins and make some beautiful projects.  


 Here are a few examples of some recent quilts to come out of my scrap bin.  But with so many of you following along, I will be pushing myself to step it up a notch and get even more creative.

But that's not why many of you are stopping by.  I know, just get to the giveaway!  I decided to share some frosty blues and purples with a lucky reader.  Lots of fun designers in this pick.  There are five fat quarters and a regular quarter cut (Kate Spain) in this fun fabric bundle. 



To enter, just leave me a comment letting me know your favorite season.  I love Spring, Fall, Winter, then lastly, Summer.  Even with the below zero temperatures we have been having, I will still take Winter over Summer any day.  Oh, and followers of my blog get a second entry.  Just leave an additional entry letting me know how you follow.  Please make sure you’re not a no-reply blogger (or leave an email address in your comment if you’re not sure). I may not be able to reply to all comments left during the giveaway as it gets a bit overwhelming!  But I certainly will try.
The giveaway is open until December 13th, 5pm PST. International guests are always welcome!  

***Sorry, this giveaway is now closed!  Best of luck to all that entered!*** 

The giveaway winner is Diana of Red Delicious Life.

 Good luck everyone!  And if you have those pesky scraps piling up, you are going to want to hit this Bloglovin' button to help inspire you to give them some attention in the coming year!

I love the beginning of each season. When we change decorations and pull out the seasonally appropriate foods it is so exciting. Then the end of each season drags until the fun starts over again.

Spring - it's such relief after the long dark nights. Suns down from before 4pm to after 8 am at this time of year here - a nice cold snowy winter makes it more bearable, but mostly we just get cold and grey!

Fall is my favorite season, followed by Spring, Winter then Summer.

By far the fall is the best season. The changing colors, cooler temps, fewer bugs and great hiking weather. Thanks for the giveaway!

Patti said...

I love Spring...the weather is getting warmer, the heavy winter clothes coming off, the new green leaves unfurling, driving with the windows down and singing to the radio at the top of your lungs (although I don't think I can get away with that any more at my age unless I drive with my grandson in the car!) Lovely fabrics, thanks for a chance to win them.

Lyn said...

When I lived up north it was definitely fall. Now that I live in central texas it's spring.

Jen | Acts of Craftiness said...

I love Winter the most! I'm in CA, so I don't experience miserable winters. I like the cool, crisp air, rain, and the occasional frosty/snowy layer we get on our deck about once a year. I love winter for the crackling fire, hot cocoa, cuddling on the couch with a comfy quilt, and the holidays! There is so much to love. :)

I love fall -- the colors and the temperature.

Winter used to be my absolute favorite as a kid but now that I am an adult winter is hard work - shoveling and scraping and sanding and keeping the house warm! Fall is probably my favorite now, then spring, winter, then summer.

Tamara Hampton said...

call me crazy but winter is my favorite. It was when I was born, and I love cuddling up under a quilt.

jama said...

Oh wow you have so many people following your blog. I think I like spring because I like to get all the gardening stuff out and clean everything up for the season. Winter is awesome because the glistening snow is so beautiful as long as you are at home in the bad weather! Not sure how to not be a no-reply reader so my email is jamadlington@gmail.com. I'm a newbie and want more ideas and fabric...like everyone else!

I love the idea of spring, but we get so much rain here on the coast (BC) that it isn't all that fun. I'd probably have to say fall, but that could be because we had such an awesome one this year. Thanks for this opportunity!

Anya said...

Love them all, but spring is my favorite! Thanks for the chance!

Lisa Cox said...

Give me summer any time. I love the heat and the sun and all the extra hours during the day.

My favourite season is fall, just adore the colours the trees produce then. :)

Thanks for the chance to win these pretty fabrics!

Anonymous said...

Hmmm, depends on what country I'm in. I currently live in Ireland where summer lasts for a week and winter is mostly rain, so I'd have to say spring and autumn. Winters and summers are better in the UK, and I love a proper snowy winter in Germany. My overall answer though is spring because I find it so liberating.

jeifner said...

I used to say winter as I love the cold and snow but its hard to bike in all that so I might pick summer now. If only it weren't hot then...

I love the idea of the scrappy quilt tips, techniques, and tutorials in 2014. I love Spring and Fall best, jacket weather actually. Like the sun shiny days of summer, but the heat gets to me. Winter is great as far as quilting, and doing yarn projects, since it is not too hot. However, I miss having the longer days of sun. I love reading your blog ....most of all.
Have a wonderful Christmas....btw, I still have 14 projects to complete for Christmas....all sewing and crochet or knit. Do you think I'll make it? Was not worried until recently, my shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist, and hand on my right side, dominant side is giving me fits. So much so, I've had to rest every couple of days.....ugh! I'm hoping I can persevere until I get the gifts completed.
