It's a Blog Hop Party!

This was so much fun the last time I did it, I have been looking to do a Blog Hop again.  So this time, the universal quilter organizer, Michele asked if I wanted to play at her party, I jumped  {waited until the last day to get} on board. So, without further ado...

Since I gave away a bottle of my Magic Starch last time, I will be giving away a bottle of her sister Super Quilt Soap.  I also make this soap and I use it on all my fabric as well as my quilts.  It is available for purchase to my customers and hopefully will soon be up for grabs at a local quilt shop.  I use up-cycled glass bottles and it has a super yummy smell.

Here is a picture of my 'Vanna ' posing with the bottle and a quilt that now smells so very nice. ;)

Just leave a post for me with your favorite soap scent to be entered in the drawing (the soap only has one scent - I call it Lavender Rain). Also, like us on Facebook for a second chance to win. Included with your fancy schmancy bottle of homemade soap I will also include a $25 gift certificate toward longarm quilting service by yours truly.  It can be used on any quilt size or pattern and will be deducted before any other promotions (I also give first quilt and referral discounts).  Batting, thread and shipping are not included in the discount and there is a $50 minimum charge on all quilting orders. I will ship internationally if you win.

My very own 'Vanna' will be drawing the lucky name on Sunday, December 16th at (or around) 4:00 p.m. est. I can't wait to see what everyone has in the works...happy hopping!

It's Leap Day!

 

This is going to be short and sweet, I know you just want to get to entering for the giveaway anyway so here goes:

 

I make this starch, it is wonderful stuff! I can't claim to be the mastermind behind it because someone else gave the recipe to me. I have just embraced it with both hands and think it is sent straight from the fabric deities themselves!  So, here is a 9 oz bottle of concentrated starch.  You will need to add distilled water to it and put it in your favorite spray bottle.  I have been making it for a while and I'm pretty sure I will never use anything else.

 

 

 

In addition to the starch, I will also include a $25 gift certificate for quilting. Use it for any quilting design or size you want. Batting and thread and shipping is not included in the discount.  If you win, we can work out the details then.

 

So, leave a comment and I will pick a winner on Thursday monring.  Have fun hopping!

Civil War Repo Prints Anyone?

My good quilting buddy Elizabeth is having a great giveaway. As a bonus, it also involves my other good quilting buddy Wanda! Trust me when I tell you that anything sponsored by these two is bound to be wonderful! I will admit that most of the time, even though I love the history of quilt making and the wonderful stories that go along with them, I do not gush over reproduction type fabrics.  That was until I found a book called Unraveling the History of Quilts and Slavery. You see, I am a nerd! I will admit it but I still try to hide it as much as possible. One of my ideas of a good time involves a cup of tea, the binding of a newly made quilt and the History Channel. So when I saw the fabrics Lizzie was giving away, I instantly thought of that book, which I bought and though it excites me very much, it has been sitting on the shelf waiting patiently for me to get around to making something with it. I don't know why but the idea is kind of daunting to me. I don't know if I feel like there is such a deep meaning to these quilts and I won't do them justice or what. I am sure once I find the fabric that will work right with it, I will tackle it! The other great thing about this give away is she is also including a great looking (also history based) book with it. So, hop over to her blog Such a Sew and Sew and leave a comment, if you win, you will have a ready-made project to start.
