Count Down to Christmas with Quiltmaker! ((Give-Away!))

The other day I was asked by my friend Diane Harris at Quiltmaker Magazine if they could do a little write up and shout out on their blog, Quilty Pleasures, and include me in it.

Sure!  Great!  Let’s do it!

And then yesterday I get another email from Diane asking if she could pull picutres and stuff from my blog to use, because what she was writing for today wasn’t just going to INCLUDE me – but be ABOUT me ---oh wow!  AND --- they are having a Give-Away!

So head on over to Quiltmaker and find out what’s going over there by clicking HERE!

They are giving away TWO COPIES of String Fling!

And to deepen the deal, I’m doing a little Give-Away here myself --

quiltmaker 050


Leave me a comment below and I’ll draw one lucky winner for Quiltmaker Magazine’s Jan/Feb 2013 issue, a Summer Breeze charm pack by Moda, and one of my new Sewing Machine Seam Guides!

This is the issue that includes my "Ceiling Fan" blocks in my Addicted to Scraps column!

Winner will be drawn Sunday, and announced on Sunday afternoon’s Quilt-Cam which will start at 2pm Eastern.

Speaking of Quilt-Cam ---I’m feeling pretty chipper and back to normal today, so how about we gather to sew at 9pm Eastern tonight?

And while I’m at it…HOLY MOLY!  You have to see all the progress people have shared in our Link-Up from Monday – and the links keep coming in!  Click HERE to view them.  I’m so proud of all of you!  We are at 197 participants as I post this.  Remember--- Monday's link up closes at 11:59pm Eastern TONIGHT because Part 5 of Easy Street goes live TOMORROW!

And speaking of proud….I’ve always been proud of my son Jason, but never MORE PROUD of him --- last night he let us know that he passed all his finals and is graduating with his associates degree in application programming.  Way to go, Son!  We love you so much!

I have so much to be thankful for…..my heart can’t contain it all!

Happy Thursday, Everyone!

    So glad you're feeling better now. Thanks for the giveaway and another glimpse at those ceiling fan blocks. Several of my friends' babies absolutely love watching their fans spin. This would make a cute scrappy baby quilt with fond memories of the child's facination and delight. :)

  37. I just wanted to say thank you for coming to the Ann Arbor quilt guild in November. I fancy myself more of an art quilter but after hearing you speak at the guild meeting I have discovered, through you, a way to organize and use up all of the fabric scraps I have as well as the hunks of "what was I thinking" fabrics that are sitting there making me feel guilty (well sort of) about changing course in my quilting endeavors. Until that meeting I was never a fan of scrap quilts but the way you use a unifying color or fabric makes them so much more beautiful. Your scrap system is awesome and I purchased your book Leaders and Enders as a guide, to use up all the scraps that I plan on incorporating into the system in 2013. It's great to think that while I'm doing something else, I can also be constructing lovely scrap quilts for charity.
    Thanks again!

  54. You are living my dream, and I am so happy you are taking us along with you. Just have to share, I have a dear mentor and friend who had her 89th birthday Nov. 21. She is an avid quilter, but REFUSED to use pieces smaller than 2 1/2 inches. I had finished lesson 2 of Easy Street, & was visiting her. I had taken along the flying geese to clip the "dog ears". She said , "you have made me curious, I think I want to do this project." LOL. I had to come home, print the lessons and return them to her. She is a happy camper. Thanks for all you do for us.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Hi Bonnie,

    I'm so glad you are feeling better and every thing is "clear". I have cut up my Easy Street and starting (rather late), but I just love the colors and learning from you. This would be my first "Bonnie" book as I've been out of work for most of the last 2 years and will just be starting a new job on 1/2. I follow your blog faithfully and HAVE to hear what you've been up to or my day is not complete. Thank you so much for your generous and sharing heart.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Four of my friends are making Easy Street. We are having so much fun comparing notes and encouraging each other.
    I would love to win the giveaway. The ceiling fan block looks like a good leader ender project after I finish the spools.

  60. Thanks so much Bonnie. I am really enjoying the Mystery quilt. Last year I only did a quarter of the blocks and made a lap quilt, but this year I am doing full size. Glad to hear all is well. I would love to win this prize. kind regards Sam samsandradownes@gmail.com

  79. Glad you are feeling much better, not a nice procedure but it must be done. I just had a tooth extracted. I got a toothache over the weekend which just got worse and worse. Hopefully I will feel better soon. The dentist said to take it easy so I am going to go work on Step 3 and 4 of Easy Street - the housework can wait until tomorrow. Also huge congratulations to Jason - they make us so proud don't they. Thanks for all you do, Ann

Thank you for quilt cam because I live so far away from the nearest quilt shop that I don't ever get to take classes of any kind. I am a self taught quilter through quilt books from the library. I'm always open to new techniques and ideas. Thank you for all your time and hard work. You are greatly appreciated! Happy Holidays and thank you.

    I'll be back home tomorrow evening (we are in Denmark right now, home is in the Netherlands), so I can finally sew on clue 4 of Easy Street. I did have time to cut all the pieces before we left, so bring on the sewing machine! And then continue on clue 5. I'm only making half of the blocks in my own choice of colors, but I like everything so far.
    Would love to win the magazine, I keep my fingers crossed.
