Love,

Let's have a giveaway!

This giveaway is closed now, but thank you for your interest...stay a while and look around here at the Lilypad, won't you?

I'm ever so excited that I've been asked to tell you about a wonderful new book -- it's available as a digital book, or as a "realio-trulio-print-book" --- whichever you prefer!

Are you ready? Let's see some of the fun things inside!

Yumm! I'm getting hungry! I love waffles --- what a great idea for a sandwich! Fun for kids and adults, too!

There are great photos with the instructions, so that kiddos can help with the meal prep!

There's a section full of crafts and activities . . .
In fact, there are over fifty pages of colorful and creative things to try in "Child's Play" by Jacquelynne Steves. You'll find:

2 quilt patterns (2 colorways each)
a tote bag pattern
3 stuffed animals with clothes
2 embroidered wall art projects
kids' activity sheets and crafts
recipes

What I think is so very cool, is the ability to view the tutorial videos! Yep, you just click on the link if you are reading the digital version, and you are whisked away to a tutorial on YouTube! For the print version, you can just enter the linkie into the URL bar of your browser, and you're off to the races, er, videos. 

The digital version of the book is only $12, and if you prefer to hold a real book in your hand, that is only $15.00.  International readers might prefer the digital book -- no shipping costs!

I just have to show you my favorite project in the whole book -- check out this adorable quilt:

There are so many great projects in Child's Play, and the colors are so bright and cheery -- the projects are designed and completed in the Happy Town fabrics that we have featured before here at the Lilypad.  This is such a fun book for spring --- so let's give one away!

Just one comment is needed . . . remember that yummy picture of the waffle sandwich up there? Well, tell me how you would construct your waffle sandwich; what meat or cheese or veggies would you use? We'll leave this open until Tuesday, and announce the winner after that!
The winner will receive a digital copy of the book from our dear friend Jacquelynne!
Good luck everyone!

Love,

 

Fat quarter bundles of Happy Town to give away!

This giveaway is now closed...thanks for your interest, and please enjoy looking around here at the Lilypad!

Let me clarify that title . . . We have TWO big bundles to give away!!

(Are you happy dancing yet?)

Padsworth says that I'd better warn you there are lots of pictures ahead. You might want to grab your cuppa:

And maybe a snack:

And settle in for some fun!

Most of you have seen the photos of the Lilypadquilting team working on our project for the Happy Town fabric line designed by our fav, Jacquelynne Steves of The Noble Wife fame. We be havin' fun, as they say! (grin)

Here (imagine a beautiful trumpet flourish here, and maybe some angelic voices, too) is our Phase I completed:

This is going to be one portion of our quilt for the Quilts for Kids effort!

Wanna see some closeups?

Aw, please, say you want to see 'em!  (It will make the team so happy.)

OK, here we go . . .

The Happy Town fabric is so cute.

Just look at some of these!

I chose the red dot for my dozer and my tow truck, and embellished them a little:

I'll be posting a tutorial for this project in the next few days, with line drawing patterns for the heavy equipment and for the letters!

The tow truck is hoisting the letter "H" in Happy Town, and the dozer is pushing the "n" into place!

A tow truck can't see what he is doing without headlights, can he?

And he wouldn't consider himself to be well-dressed without his hubcaps:

The balloons are a motif that I saw on the Happy Town panel that Jacquelynne created, and I repeated it for this section of the quilt:

Here are some close-ups of the letters:

I'll show you some more when the tutorial is posted, and I"ll give you some tips to help create your own Happy Town project!

Have you heard that there is a contest with a $500 prize to be won?

We're linking up today with the March Goal Setting Party over at SewBitterSweet Designs today! Hop over and check out what everyone is doing!

Love,

Let's have a giveaway! No, two giveaways!

(This giveaway is closed now.....thank you for your interest!)

Oh, how exciting!  I do love me a good giveaway, don't you? And I think you'll LOVE this one! Actually it's two giveaways in one!

Our extra-special sponsor, fabric designer Jacquelynne Steves, is providing TWO fat quarter bundles for you lucky Lilypadquilting peeps!

This fabric line has really captured my heart. I love the colors and the fruit and veggie motifs. Jacquelynne has featured a potholder tutorial on her blog using the fabrics, so you might want to hop over there and see. 

Each bundle will contain sixteen fat quarters from her "Fruitful Hands" collection --- the same yummy fabrics that I've been working with, on my secret project.  Feast your eyes on these:

Prints in stunning colors . . . 

More lovelies . . .

And one bundle will have the panel included --- just take a peek here:

So, there you have it. One bundle of sixteen fat quarters and the panel, for first prize, and another bundle of sixteen fat quarters for second prize! (I bet that you are excited now!)

Hmmmmm. What tidbit of information shall I extract from you, to be entered into the drawing . . . How about if you fill in the blank in this sentence: "I've tried and tried to make Grandma's (or Mom's) Christmas______________, but I can't. I swear she hasn't told me all of the ingredients in the recipe." (Grin)  Is there one specialty that you've not been able to duplicate? The exact flavor has eluded you? Haven't you wondered if they really told you everything that went into it? 
That will be your entry into the drawing!


You don't have to be a follower to enter, but we sure do love our followers, so if you are a Lilypadquilting follower, you can have a second entry!

We'll leave this giveaway open for a week -- then Mr. Random will pick a winner, and we'll announce it!

Good luck, everyone!  (Whispering) Oh, and I hope you will understand.....with the Christmas activities and such, I may not be able to respond to all of the comments, but I will read them and I love you all!

Love,

   

Giveaway Day December 2012!

Whoo hooo! Let the fun begin!  This giveaway is closed now, but thank you for your interest!

First, though, let's thank the wonderful folks over at SewMamaSew because they organize and host this event twice a year! It's an awesome opportunity to hop around and find fun new blogs to visit, and perhaps win some neat prizes, too!

Here at Lilypadquilting, we are offering up four charm packs of Jovial, by Basic Grey, for Moda. Yep, you read that right --- four charm packs!

Take a look!

Padsworth and DragonDrop thought it was great fun to play with the fabric, but I can assure you that no charm packs were injured in the writing of this post. (Grin)

They loved making a house, and playing King on the Mountain, too!

(These charm packs came from our special friend Michelle who ran the Quilt Kit Market. She is now focusing on developing patterns for sale.)

Want to win these? Oh, you know you do!! These packs just make you feel all jingle-bell-y all over!  And I can just SEE the smoke coming from your ears, as the gears turn and you dream of creating a quilt, a runner, some placemats, or other Christmas-y things!  You didn't know that I could see you, did you? That's one of my super-powers, don'tcha know?!   (Maniacal laughter fading away . . . )

Ahem.

Leave me a comment using the word "elf" or "elves" and you will be entered to win!!  Easy peasy!

Now, you don't have to be a follower to win, but we do love our followers, so if you are one of these special peeps, you can leave me a comment to tell me so, and that will be your second entry to win!!

This giveaway will be open until 5pm (PST) on December 7, and the winner will be announced on the next day!

Now, be sure to go over to SewMamaSew and see all of the other fabulous giveaways, and fun blogs to visit, too!

Last time we played this fun game, we had so many comments that we just couldn't keep up! Please forgive us if we don't reply to you --- we'll give it a shot, but we might not get around to everyone!
