Garden Spot - in Quiltmaker! (plus 2 giveaways)

Note:  This giveaway is now closed.  Carrie P. is the winner.  Congratulations, Carrie!

Today I'll be talking over on Quiltmaker's blog, Quilty Pleasures, about a quilt I designed for their July/August 2014 issue using my Topiary line for Blend Fabrics called "Garden Spot".



It is really fun to make and a great way to try a couple of different appliqué techniques!

To celebrate, we are doing a joint giveaway on my blog and theirs of a fat quarter bundle of Topiary, plus two of my recent patterns from that line - Love Birds and Forever.




To enter, leave a comment here telling me something you are looking forward to doing this summer.  For a second chance to win, be sure to visit Quilty Pleasures.  Deadline to enter in both places is end of day Saturday, June 14th.

Happy quilting!
Amanda

I'm looking forward to going to a summer wedding for a cousin. I haven't been to one in a while, so it will be nice to see family I haven't seen in years. Thanks for the giveaway, your fabric and patterns are beautiful, I'm crossing my fingers!

Every summer my sister & I rent a cottage together for a week. It's the perfect opportunity to catch up with each other and to let our kids get to be good friends (in addition to cousins). I look forward to everything about the summer - the heat, the sun, the waves, the beach, the lazy days… everything!

Your colors are simply beautiful. Your new Tipiary line for Blend Fabrics is just the perfect companion for Garden Spot. I do have my copy of Quiltmakers and would love to win your giveaway. You are being so dang generous with your giveaways that each one of us wants to win.

Garden Spot - in Quiltmaker! (plus 2 giveaways)

28
Note:  This giveaway is now closed.  Carrie P. is the winner.  Congratulations, Carrie!

Today I'll be talking over on Quiltmaker's blog, Quilty Pleasures, about a quilt I designed for their July/August 2014 issue using my Topiary line for Blend Fabrics called "Garden Spot".



It is really fun to make and a great way to try a couple of different appliqué techniques!

To celebrate, we are doing a joint giveaway on my blog and theirs of a fat quarter bundle of Topiary, plus two of my recent patterns from that line - Love Birds and Forever.




To enter, leave a comment here telling me something you are looking forward to doing this summer.  For a second chance to win, be sure to visit Quilty Pleasures.  Deadline to enter in both places is end of day Saturday, June 14th.

Happy quilting!
Amanda
