Something About Nothing

It's Giveaway Day over on Sew Mama Sew.   I love entering all the giveaways and seeing what is out there.  I also LOVE giving stuff away.  This year I am going to giveaway a copy of Quilt Scene magazine and a piece of my ice dyed fabric! Lots and lots of gorgeous quilts and great projects to make inside this magazine, including my article for the quilt "Unexpected Treasure" and a notebook cover called "Renegade Chevron." Sadly I don't have any jelly rolls to giveaway so you could make my quilt but I thought you might enjoy a fat quarter of my ice dyed fabric. Lots of beautiful colors mixed together ready for appliqué, piecing or it could be used as is. Now I'm sure you are wondering what to do to win these fabulous prizes! Just leave a comment for me telling me what your favorite holiday treat is. I know it's not quilt related but I really want to know! I LOVE TREATS. The giveaway will be left open until Midnight Pacific Stand...

I am in Houston having a fabulous time learning, buying cool stuff, and meeting new peoples.  This is my first time at the International Quilt Festival and can I tell you, they really know how to put on a show!  That said, I thought I'd share a little bit of Houston with y'all by giving away this special issue of Quilt Scene magazine: I have two patterns in the magazine: Unexpected Treasure and Renegade Chevron Notebook Cover. I'm sure you will enjoy making these and all the other lovely projects inside. If you would like to enter for a chance at receiving this little piece of the International Quilt Festiva l then leave a note in the comments telling me:  Who you would love to take a class from if you were at Quilt Festival? The drawing will remain open until midnight, (Pacific Time), Friday, November 9th.  I will draw a name and announce the winner on the blog on Saturday, Nov. 10th.  PLEASE MAKE SURE I WILL BE ABLE TO EMAIL YOU IF YOU ARE THE WINNE...

  I've been making produce bags for years.   I've blogged about them here and here and here . And I published the pattern in this magazine. Now I've decided to sell the bags in my Etsy store . Stop over and buy some.

I have been bursting for months to share a secret with you all. . . I have finally been published. I am doing the happy dance today! And because Interweave was nice enough to send me an extra copy of the magazine I am going to make someone else do the happy dance by giving it to one of my readers.  Please leave a comment on this post telling me about your favorite way to go green and you will be entered to win a copy of Quilt Scene.   The drawing will close at midnight (mst) on Friday, November 4, 2011,.
