Quilt Market Loot - and a Giveaway!
One of the really cool things about quilt market was the fun things people were giving away. My favorite, of course, was the mini charm squares. I was fortunate enough to snag a couple and boy are they cute!
But there were some other fun things, too. Some folks gave away patterns. This one is cute.
I totally missed out on the mini charms of Ruby, but I was fortunate enough to get a pattern. See those receiving blankets made with Ruby flannel? That flannel just may be the softest flannel known to mankind.
The folks at Interweave gave me a calendar and a whole bunch of magazines.
And then of course there were the brochures. sarahjane's new fabric is gorgeous, but I especially loved the embroideries.
And Jillily's booth was so fun. They were giving away mini sorbet cones in some great summertime flavors. My favorite was raspberry. Yummy!
There was some other loot as well, but I haven't taken photos of it all. Suffice it to say that my luggage was heavier coming home than it was on the outbound trip.
And since the folks at QM were so generous, I thought I would share. If you caught this post, you know that I have a running love affair with French General (shhhhh... don't tell WH!) so you can tell that I really love this fabric. It's classic and fresh and olde worlde all at the same time. So I really hope you will like today's giveaway as much as I do. It includes a mini charm pack of French General's new line Panier des Fleurs, which comes with a project sheet for a sweet hexi pin cushion, and a copy of the 2010 Quilting Arts Gifts magazine. Even though the mag is last year's, there are some fun, simple gifts lurking within those pages. I had a browse through it and I think I'm going to try one or two of these ideas before it wings its way to someone else's home.
So what do you need to do to win? Just leave me a comment and let me know your favorite fabric from this spring's collections, or let me know what fabric you're most looking forward to for summer/fall. That's it. I'd love it if you'd FOLLOW my blog, but it's not required. ETA: Oh - and I forgot to mention, be sure I have a way to contact you if you win. Duh! And I think I forgot to mention that this giveaway ends THURSDAY, May 26 at midnight.
And if you're in the mood for a little web surfing, check out Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day post. Lots of folks in blogland are having giveaways today.
Good luck!

My fav has to be Little Apples!
ReplyDeleteOh you and me could be related, I love anything French General.. Maybe living in France is a bit of an influence, but I also love Fig Tree and really really like Butterscotch and Roses.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to Little Apples too.... great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm eagerly awaiting Terrain.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win your giveaway. I am searching for fabric with owls right now. There are so many to choose from and I can't wait to find the one that goes with a mystery quilt I will be working on starting in June.
ReplyDeleteOh, you know, I really can't decide. I love the Little Apples, I love the horse print from Heather Ross, I think I will love AMH's new line but want to see them in person! Wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYum, I love French General. I also love Fig Tree but I'm not sure what they've got coming out so I suppose my most anticipated is Ruby.
ReplyDeleteI like Sweet Pickins by Darlene Zimmerman. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've seen, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the Little Apples line...but they are all awesome! With no LQS around, I mostly window shop online! LOL

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway
I'm looking forward to Moda's Ruby range, but it's only being released in October so it looks like i'm in for a long wait!
ReplyDeleteI also have a bit of a love affair with French General. I actually have been "working" on a quilt for my sister-in-law out of their Maison De Garance line... but I really can't bear to part with it. I keep telling myself that I will finish and it will be in a good home, but as long as it is only the top I can take it out and look at it. CRAZY, right!? I am also looking forward to Sarah Jane's new line. The prints are just too cute!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to Ruby. The reds in that collection are so lovely.
