It's Giveaway Day (Week), as you probably know. If you somehow got here without being aware of Giveaway Day, click on either icon above to head to Sew, Mama, Sew! where hundreds of giveaways are linked up for a huge week of crafty, gifty, goodness. After you enter my giveaway, that is.
I'm giving away this fat(ter) eighth set (it's cut 18" x 10" rather than 20" x 9") in the colors of the QuiltCon logo. It's perfect if you want to enter the QuiltCon block challenge - a bit of scrappy variety for your block. If you aren't planning to enter the challenge, it's a gorgeous set of colors and you are still welcome to it:
All you have to do to enter is leave a comment. You could tell me that you've never heard of QuiltCon before, or that you're going, or link me to the awesome QuiltCon block that you made or saw, or you can just type in "asdf" or something if you are trying to enter giveaways as fast as possible - I totally understand that and really don't mind. OR you can tell me that you want to swap some scraps with me (see below).
Followers, old and new, get another entry. Just leave a second comment telling me that you are a follower. RSS feed and following by email both count, too.
Entries accepted until May 25, US shipping only. (Last time I offered international, I paid more than 3x the value of the fabric to send it to the winner in AFRICA).
Now
what was that about scrap swapping? I am in search of scraps for a
rainbow quilt that I have planned, and looking for anyone interested in
swapping with me. You give scraps (min size 2.5" square, 2.5" strips
appreciated) and I give you yardage in return. I'm looking for modern
fabrics in all the colors in the image below, but particularly the just
so slightly orange-y sunshine yellow and just so slightly maroon-y fire
engine red. This quilt is for a child - cute animals, flowers, bugs,
etc are fine on the fabric but definitely not required. You can see
some of the yardage that I have available to trade right here,
or if you're interested in unloading scraps but nothing catches your
eye, we can discuss what else you might like. Leave me a comment if you
are interested, and I'll get back to you. Your comment will also enter
you for the giveaway, so no need to leave a separate one just for that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you still here? That's awesome. Welcome to my blog! If you'd like to look around a little, I recommend the Quilts and Clothes pages, where you can see pictures of my completed projects. Clicking on a picture will take you to the blog post for that project, if there is one.
Happy Giveaway Day!
This is a great set of fabric. It'd be a great start for a new quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great bundle of color!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful bundle of fabric! Such pretty colors!
ReplyDeleteWith this bundle I might actually try to QuiltCon challenge. I may have some scraps for you. I'll have to dig around in the next day or two and get back to you.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of QuiltCon but so far have only seen the solid bundles. I really like seeing the colors in prints.
ReplyDeleteI can't help you with the swap cuz we collect the same colors..which means I'm lacking in the same ones you are.
Hope you get all you need.
What a fabulous set of fabrics! Sorry I can't swap with you. You might post them on a flickr group.
ReplyDeleteHiya Ruth! Would love to win the bundle of fabrics so I can enter the bamqg block challenge-- thanks for the opportunity to win!!
ReplyDeleteGenerous giveaway. I hope to attend QuiltCon. Booked my hotel room and everything, but a lot will depend upon registration costs. If they're too high, and everything is a la carte, I may have to cancel.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to enter!

Beautiful fabrics! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about QuiltCon, but think the idea of it is very exciting.
ReplyDeletei don't know much about quilt con but I'm enjoying seeing people's blocks!
ReplyDeleteGreat give-away. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Quilt Con.
ReplyDeleteI'm also sitting here, trying to finish my coffee before it gets cold, and I'm really not awake yet.
I have heard of quilt con, but don't really understand it. I do love the color selections, though!
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing references to quiltcon, but not really seen a whole lot about it other than some really great colors--maybe a future post?
ReplyDeleteI just made a scrappy quilt and I might have some yellow, orange, and green that matches yours. I will have to check though. I have 2.5 squares.
ReplyDeleteSo happy that the giveaway day led me to your blog, I'm loving it! (katenearpass at yahoo.com)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours love the bright Quilt Con Bundle
ReplyDeletethanks for the generous giveaway! I wish you luck on your rainbow scrap swap too, I have joined a few swaps to get more pieces to work with, myself but they sadly haven't arrived yet! ;)
ReplyDeleteI actually have seen bundles for the quiltcon block around the web, although I have never been! I love the colors in the little fabric bundle you are giving away!
ReplyDeleteI have all my fabric packed up so I am not sure that I have the exact scraps you are looking for, but I have quite a bit of yardage for a fabric that might be prefect for a border or binding. Contact me sometime next week if you are interested(I am moving over the next few days), I will send a picture and see if you want some. I have never swapped fabric before, but it sounds interesting
What a great set! It's perfect for QuiltCon. I'm hoping that I can get to Austin for the festivities. Would be great to get out of the Midwest in February :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway - great minds think alike: I'm giving away a bundle of quiltcon monochromatic prints too! Thanks for the chance to win!

Beautiful little fabric collection. I am so excited about QuiltCon!!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of QuiltCon and totally want to go! If money were no object...
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bundle! Things like QuiltCon and Quilt Market and all that are definitely not things I'd heard of until this year. I just started sewing a year and a half ago, and blogging about it a few months after that, so there's still so much to learn :) Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors! I'm a new sewist and haven't heard of QuiltCon but think I am about to learn a lot...
ReplyDeleteI'm new to quilting, though not sewing, so I've not heard of QuiltCon... thanks for the chance to win such pretty fabric!
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived closer so I could go to QuiltCon... I'll just have to live vicariously through all of y'all who blog and do get to go to these fabulous quilt conferences & meetings. Thanks for the chance to enter!
ReplyDeletethis would give me a jump i need to get a block in for quiltcon. thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of QuiltCon... but, I do sew more than quilt

I am a new follower, and I can't wait to see more about that rainbow quilt you have planned. I will look and see if I have any scraps that match, but I have not been sewing long, so they probably wouldn't help you much. Thank you so much for the great giveaway!

Quilt Con sounds interesting, but chances are I won't be able to go.
ReplyDeleteI could definitely use those Quilt Con fabrics--I need to make a block before our July MQG meeting! And, if you are still looking for a scrap trade I can definitely hook you up with good modern scraps in those colors.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in this bundle! And no, I'm not familiar with QuiltCon block challenge, but now I'm curious so will have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous bundle of color!
ReplyDeleteI love rainbow bundles!! I've been meaning to start a quilt but it seems so intimidating! :]

ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower in google reader.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard about QuiltCon but that fabric bundle is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm posting my comment way down here at the bottom 'cause at the end of your post, you said "Are you still here? Awesome." and that just cracked me up! I wasn't going to comment at all, but I liked the part where you said I could just type "asdf" if I wanted. So here goes: asdf

ReplyDeleteI am interested in the swapping! I have a lot of fabric and could cut some 2.5 inch strips for you. Let's get in touch! I've really been into scraps lately and bought a bunch of scrap packs on Etsy. There probably aren't many good ones left since I bought so much;)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I want to enter your giveaway;)

Squeee, quilt con fabrics! With that said, I plan on entering the quilting show, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able too. I need to see the prices of tickets before committing myself to making a quilt.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of QuiltCon, but when I'm done entering giveaways I'll have to do some research. Love those colors!
