Melissa Averinos has designed her debut fabric line, Sugar Snap, for FreeSpirit and is going to hook me up with some of it to make a quilt to give away here. How stinkin' cool is that?????!!!!!??
And then you'll remember Russ, my long-arm quilter extraordinaire from The Back Porch Quilters (did I tell you he'll be featured in McCall's magazine in Spring 2009). Well, he thought the last giveaway was so much fun than he is going to make a quilt for the next one too. He even got an industry friend of his (Tula Pink!!) to sign a piece of her new fabric for Moda called Nest.
And the third quilt? Well, that has yet to be determined. More than likely it will be a scrappy quilt made from my stash of fabrics.
I'm thinking one of the three quilts will be awarded to the best YouTube video entry. Oh, the mere thought of that makes my heart sing and my cheeks turn up in a goofy grin.
I wonder what other mischief I can dream up . . .

ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog — I love the quilt you gave away last time! I never win anything. Do you sell your quilts for the unlucky?
ReplyDeleteOh man!! Your quilts are always sooo lovely! I need to get my hands on that fabric...is it still on your line outside in an easily steal-able place????
ReplyDeleteI'm a newbie to the blog world - and especially to commenting. However, I can't keep quiet about your playlist...I'm in love with all the songs! Each one is better than the last one - some are old favorites of mine and others are new favs. Thanks for giving me the perfect background music while I loose track of time in the archives!
ReplyDeleteTheresa
My heavens...this is all very very exciting!! And the Tula Pink fabric? Swoon!!
ReplyDeleteJust save yourself all the headache this time and choose me as the winner, okay?
ReplyDeleteGood.
The material is all so beautiful!! I'm so jealous of whoever the winner will be...I won't be entering due to my complete and utter lack of technical skills...lol
ReplyDeleteI can already see that your scrappy quilt is going to be utterly beautiful! So jealous of you being able to put materials together - it is something I really struggle with.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait. I love your work and hope I win. My kiddo's love the music on your blog when ever i come to visit they come running form all rooms and start their dancing. It is quit funny. Maybe that will be my youtube video, that is if I can figure out how to do a youtube video.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm up for another giveaway! Glad you are too, Dana! ;-) Can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to these giveaways!
