Garland Galore Giveaway

-
It's time for Sew Mama Sew's big giveaway again!
This year EVERYONE is a winner on my blog because I have two giveaways.
The first giveaway is a pdf pattern for EVERYBODY,
and the other is for ONE very lucky winner.
The first giveaway is my Garland Galore pattern.
Click on the link to be taken to Craftsy where you will be able to download the pdf pattern for all three garland patterns for FREE.  (You will need to sign up for Craftsy, which is free, if you are not already a member)

 The second half of the giveaway is a stack of 18 - 7" squares of beautiful fabrics and a package of binding so that you can create your own basic garland using my Garland Galore pattern. (Clarification:  Some of the fabrics are 7" x 14"  strips because I was too lazy to cut them)
So EVERYONE is a winner today just by clicking the links to get your free pattern, and then leave a comment telling me what your favorite spring flower is below and you will be entered to win the fabric.  The drawing will be open until May 16th at 5 p.m. PST and I will post the winners name on the 17th.  PLEASE make sure to leave your email address so I can get in touch with you when you win!

If it has to be a spring flower I would have to say Hyacinth cause one bloom can scent the whole house. Cindy bluemoonstencils@yahoo.com

Hard to pick one spring flower but it would be daffodils - they are beautiful and so many types now and you can get them early or late spring varieties so there are some out somewhere for the whole spring.

Gelli Plate Tutorial with Leaves

Here's the Gelli Plate Tutorial you asked for! My Gelli plate has been well used and well loved. 1. Place Gelli Plate on a flat, covered working surface, and place small dots of paint onto the plate.  My demo photos are with me using acrylics and paper but it works exactly the same with fabric paint and fabric.  I like using Jacquard Textile paint when I make fabric prints. 2. Use a brayer to spread the paint evenly across the plate. 3.  I used the leaves as a resist for the first print. 4. Place the paper/fabric on top of the printing plate and smooth it out nicely to get an even print. 5.  Carefully lift up the paper/fabric. Found a photo from when I printed the fabric - see same process. This is a first print. 5.  I know that MONOprinting means ONE print but seriously, when you remove the leaves from the plate there are these beautifully textured leaves left on the plate just dying to be printed.  I couldn't ignore them!  So this is wher

Quilt National

My husband and I took a red-eye flight to Columbus, Ohio, and then drove the one hour to Athens, Ohio, to attend the opening of the Quilt National quilt show where my piece, Wild Flowers was being shown. Made a stop at Tim Horton's, a Canadian chain for some delicious breakfast sandwiches and donut holes. We went to the Kennedy Art Museum, on the Ohio University campus. This is the side of the building. Photo of the front of the building from the cleveland.com website. The building was designed in the 1860s by Cleveland architect Levi Scofield, and was originally part of the Athen's Lunatic Asylum. It opened in 1996 as the Kennedy Museum of Art. There were some lovely prints, paintings and exhibits. It didn't take long to tour, which was good for my knees. I was glad to be able to see this Elizabeth Catlett print. I admire her work. I've seen some of her her other prints in person, and was anxious to also see this one. Friday evening, the Quilt National show opened, and
