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!
I'm also linked up to Royal Legacy Tuesday Treasure Giveaway Linkup!
Love,
(And they didn't even ask me......they just knew!)
How did they do it?
I go by this museum fairly frequently, and they now have a quilt block displayed at the front entrance. Recently they hosted a speaker about the Quilt Trails in various areas of the country, and I guess this is a good start for getting this going in our neck of the woods!
But somehow the quilting goddesses knew, and the block that the staff chose for their gorgeous sign was my absolute fav . . . Blackford's Beauty!
Take a peek:
Isn't it pretty? That's a real day-brightener, for sure!
Stop back in tomorrow for our Giveaway! It's the Sew Mama Sew event that you've been waiting for!
Love,
Confidentially, this project was supposed to be finished before Thanksgiving.
Uh-huh. Didn't happen. Well, we've all been there. We had our Thanksgiving meal with a (gasp!) store-bought runner on the table.
Sigh.
Using these fabrics . . .
. . . oh, by the way -- got any ideas what line this is?
I guess it'd be easier if I put the text print in the photo, too. (Wink)
Perfect for Thanksgiving, right? Well, I got about this far:
(Giggle!) Are you drooling yet? It's our old friend, Deb Strain, and the line is called "Give Thanks."
I'll show you tomorrow what I created, and hopefully it will be completely finished!
Love,
I'm hoping that all of you special Lilypadquilting peeps will enter the Christmas Quilt Show, over at Michele's place.
It's always holly-jolly fun to see all of the Christmas-themed minis, wall-hangings, quilts and more. This year is no exception! There are lots of inspiring projects to see, so hop on over to the Quilting Tutorials blog and take a peek!
And then look around for a photo of YOUR latest Christmas quilting project, and enter to win some of the fabulous prizes!
At the risk of putting my regular readers to sleep, I'm posting my
Christmas wall-hanging for an entry in the show. I had great fun making
this, and you can see how it went together by clicking right here.
Here is a close-up of my three-dimensional embellishments that adorn the border of the wall-hanging:
Now, if you want to see some projects that you haven't seen before, check out all the fun over at the show!
Love,
Remember this?
This is my Christmas wall-hanging, made from Jacquelynne Steves' "Oh, Holy Night" fabric line and panel!
Such cute critters!
And stars, and birds, and kids . . .
Would you like to win one of these panels? Plus a whole lot of other goodies? (Over $75 of goodies, in fact!)
Ok, I'll quit shouting, and tell you to click on this link!! Over at Jacquelynne's blog, The Noble Wife, is where you will find the giveaway.
Now, you will have to cooperate to get a chance to win --- she would like to hear some feedback from all of you special peeps who signed up to receive her newsletter, and to follow her blog.
She's planning some changes and wants to tailor her offerings to what all of you would like to see; so please hop on over there and check it out. Give her some feedback and you'll be entered to win!
Love,
