Giveaway at Sew We Quilt!
I'm sure some of you have heard about the fantastic giveaway going on every day at Sew We Quilt. Madame Samm has graciously hosted a giveaway every day of the week for THREE WHOLE MONTHS for both Want To Be Quilters (on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) and Quilters (on Tuesday and Thursday).
Today I am guest blogging over at Sew We Quilt showing how to make this...
A lampshade covered with fabric! No sewing this time, but we all love to accessorize.
The folks at Robert Kaufman have donated 1/2 yard cuts of Veranda for the giveaway so make sure you hop on over today and enter! There are 2 bundles of 6 yard totals to win! And Madame Samm has thrown a Colonial basket full of different goodies AND Famore Applique scissors too! I know... Just become a follower and leave a comment here and also at Madame Samm's fabulous blog and you will be set to enter. (If you beat me to it and left a comment on the previous post that is okay - I'm internet-challenged this week and apologize for my lateness.) And don't forget to check in at Sew We Quilt each day for the next 3 months for more giveaways!
Note: If you have trouble seeing my follower button on my sidebar try refreshing the screen a couple of times.
Thanks Madame Samm!

I think you did a great tutorial. I'm a new follower and I'll be back. Selina
Popping over from SM. This is a great idea as a new quilt deserves new decor to go with it.
Hi Amanda,
Waving at you from Missouri. You know I love your Veranda but did you know that I love both versions of the Swiss Chocolate. I have been your devoted follower since I first heard of Veranda, way back then (it seems so long ago). I am still planning on the dress and finally have my scanner fixed so I can send you the pattern I am using. Til we speak again
Ciao Jeanne
Ok so I now need to tell you how much I want ot win the basket of goodies. This much, can you see my arms they are stretched to the max. selina

Hey! You are right here in my state. Loved your post on Stash Manicure and love your fabric. I am trying my best to become a follower but having a little trouble.

Hi Amanda, love the tut!!!
Woohoo for you, Amanda! Great tutorial on Madame Samm's blog.
I'm a follower already, and have spent the last day thinking about starting my own Topiary Tiles quilt.
Thanks for all you do.
wordygirl at earthlink dot net
Great tutorial! I must also add that I love the look of Topiary Tiles!

Swiss chocolate - yummo!
This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing this tutorial. Do you think it would work to cover a patterned lamp shade or would the pattern show when the light is on? I'm not a quilter yet, but I really want to be! :) This type of project is perfect for me.

Sweet tute never thought of that for a refresh on a old lamp shade. Thank you and Madam Samm for introducing me to your blog, it is great. I am now a follower. I always love a chance to win beautiful fabric. Thanks
Thank you for the tutorial Amanda, it was really well done and the shade looks beautiful. Congratulations on your fabric line, from what I've seen online it looks stunning.
I tried to leave a comment here this morning when I posted under your tutorial, but it took me to an old post. I hope I didn't disqualify myself. I've been following you for a while now and have tried to win your Veranda fabric at several blogs.
Many thanks.
Hi Amanda, Thank-you for a easy-to-follow tutorial, it's something I've always stood back from, but you have made it seem not so terrifying! Love the chance to win some of your beautiful fabric, so thank-you for that too!
Oh I have never thought to cover my own lampshades. Love that idea. Especially because I am redoing my daughters room too. Thanks for the idea and tutorial.
Great tute and I'm in love with that bedroom.
Neat tutorial! I'm already a follower.
Love your lamp shade tute! What a great idea! Guess I'll be searching out old lampshades at Goodwill stores now. Thanks for the pattern. And thanks for the chance to win the fabric giveaway because of you. I'm a quilter and on team Marlene Bush.
I've become a follower Amanda. I see you've had your work in "American Patchwork and Quilting" magazine. Congratulations. For a brief time, I was an editor for that magazine.
Love what you've done with your daughters room, beautiful. Thanks so much for the tutorial.
Love the outcome of this project! This is definitely one I will use! I'd love to win this awesome giveaway too!
Love the tutorial, thanks for the opportunity to win. I think I could do something lovely if I won this. Or keep it a couple years until I'm better and then do something.
Love your blog! and I'm a new follower too.
Great tutorial Amanda! Would love to decorate lampshade for my granddaughters' new bedrooms. Your Veranda fabric would be perfect for them because they each have a favorite color...and you've got 'em covered in your fabric line!

Thanks for the lampshade tutorial...I've been trying to figure out what to do with two elderly, sad-looking shades :).
Now if I can just remember to check in at Sew We Quilt on Tues and Thurs!
Thanks for the tutorial. I always wanted to know how to do this b/c so many of my shades have rips & stains. So this is greatly appreciated.
I am a follower. I will need to visit Madame Samm blog, too.
A faithful follower, and fellow charlottean..your tutorial was great, makes it look almost easy. Love, love you new Veranda fabrics.
