Bloggy Fun!


You may be aware of the Wantobe Quilter Campaign over at Stash Manicure...  where both newbie quilters and experienced quilters can win fab goodies... which includes brand new sewing machines!   It's not to late to jump on board... there are FIVE... count 'em ...FIVE give-aways per week until October 29th!


Suz, one of my Wantobe Quilters, won a sewing basket stuff full of all kinds of goodies...

 

...and I, her faithful sponsor, also won some goodies, which have just arrived in the mail!   I love the day-glo red-orange mailing envelope... it certainly lit up my dark mailbox, let me tell you!



Inside were 24 Citron/Gray FQs from Michael Miller... and a scrappy notepad and a lovely quilty card!  Also enclosed was a very nice card from Madame Samm with birthday wishes!   All these goodies would have brightened my day even if they had arrived in a plain brown envelope!



~ ~ ~ ~ ~

If you would like to participate in the Wantobe Quilter's Campaign, all you have to do is go to Stash Manicure...
...and YES, I would love to sponsor more Wantobe Quilters!



~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
 
In order to celebrate going over the 20K page view mark, I would like to share a little bloggy fun.   
 
 
I have six sets of 4 Citron/Gray FQs by Michael Miller.  If you like a set of your very own, leave a comment about what you might do with a set if you win.

On Sunday, August 28th, I will draw numbers for five of the six FQ sets... I would like to keep one for myself, don't you know!

"No-reply Bloggers" - Please provide a way for me to contact you.  If not, I'll draw another number.

    So nice of you to share with your readers! I love this fabric line - I was drooling over it just yesterday. I would make a HST pillow I believe - it would be lovely in these colors.

    Thank you for sharing your bundle of fabrics with your readers.
    I'm interested in working with solids, so I'd choose to add 2 values of grey and some yellow to the FQs. I might want to add another contrasting color-yellowy green?-to the mixture.Then I'd put my thinking cap on and search for just the right pattern. Thanks.

  30. quiltzyxAugust 26, 2011 at 1:47 PM

    To be honest, I'm not sure yet what I would make with these...perhaps a table topper & a runner for my aunt. I'll have to wait & listen to what they want to be, when they get to my house!

    Thanks for sharing with us!!

    I have a "thingie" about table runners...blush...so that is what I would do with these lovely fat quarters! (It is not for nothing that we have a set of plain white dishes that match every color in the Universe!)

    Hi!
    I am a new follower! I learn to knit with You Tube. Thankfully I have a sister who is an avid quilter so she has shown me everything I know about quilting.I love these fabrics. I think I would have to make a few funky Mug Matts if I won one. Thanks for the chance.

    These fabrics may be seen as hexies in my double flower grandmothers flower garden quilt (queen size - quite a sizable project) -- or another quilt. Great fabric colors. Congratulations on your good fortune.

    I'd probably do something for the kitchen like potholders - something that I use often so I can feast my eyes on that beautiful fabric regularly.

    When I was in high school (a long time ago!) yellow & grey were my favorite colors - I made lots of yellow/grey clothes. Just seeing those M Miller fat quarters brings back lot of memories! I think I see a yellow & grey quilt in my future!

    I think these fats would look great in either an apron or a tote bag.

    Lovely color combination. I have a few grey solids and I could whip this into a "fat quarter surprise" quilt in a jiffy.
