SewMamaSew Giveaway Day!

***Don’t forget to head over and enter my Fat Quarter Shop giveaway as part of the Blog Hop Party from Quilting Gallery!***

If this is your first time to my blog, WELCOME! My name is Melissa and I am a mommy, army wife, quilter and I blog about it all.  Please take a moment to check out my tutorials page – I spent most of the last 4 months working on 18 blocks for a sampler quilt and all the tutorials are posted.  I am mostly a quilter, although I do occasionally do sewing projects as well. When I’m not sewing for family and friends I do a lot of sewing for charity, I like to give back whenever I can! Today I have some special prizes in store for you!

I have three sewing patterns that will go to three separate winners and one fabric prize for the big winner:

For the beginning sewist – I have an apron pattern that is made with fat quarters – so bust out your fat quarter stash (I know you have one of those – I sure as heck do!) and get sewing!

Are you starting to get comfortable with paper piecing? Do you have a favorite little girl in your life whose room needs some sprucing up? How about a paper pieced heart wall hanging?!? With some modern fabrics and colors this could be so stinking cute!

Have you been wanting to learn the Quilt As You Go technique? It has been all over the web, and I even have a tutorial coming your way on this very blog in the new year, but if you want to get a head start, how about a very simple pattern?  Again, change out the fabrics and this could be the sweetest baby quilt every!

And for my grand prize winner…I have a 1 lb bag of high quality quilting scraps. Including some Flora, Ruby and all of the Delighted that I have left after making my Delightfully Simple Reversible Purse (and I had a lot of extra fabric!!!) – the sky is the limit with this fun bag of fabric!

How can you enter?!? 2 Possible Entries:

First Entry: Tell me the first project you plan on making in the new year – for example: I plan on making my niece a quilt.

Second Entry: Be a follower, old or new, and tell me which method you use to follow – check my sidebar – there are lots of ways to do it!

That’s it, super simple!

Good luck – this giveaway will run through Friday, December 16th and I will email the winner on the 18th (I will be traveling on the 17th). I will be using the wordpress plugin And the Winner Is… to select the winner.

Oh yeah! I forgot to mention – this is open internationally!

Merry Christmas!

NOTE: Don’t forget, I am one of the bloggers who is going to lose Google Friend Connect in March 2012, please take a moment and follow me via Bloglovin’, Facebook, RSS or networked blogs.  You are important to me and I want to be able to stay in contact with you!  Check my side bar for all the best ways to stay in touch after GFC goes bye bye!

    I plan to finish the 3 quilts that I have started it is my New Years resolution. I JUST started Jeweled Wedding Rings, I have two Hexagon quilts one in the quilting process and one in the piecing process.. we shall see. I think I will machine quilt the one hexagon quilt for sure. I started hand quilting the other, but I am debating moving it to the machine.. my hands just can’t take it.

This is going to be a Christmas not t0 be forgotten. Any of your prizes, the darling apron, the stinking cute paper-pieced heart wall hanging, The Quick Brick quilt pattern and last, the 1 lb of high quality scraps. I, myself, like the idea that you are using only high quality scraps. That’s nice to know because I would only use that kind for my personal quilt for me for next year. Go ahead and make some one a very happy quilter. I really hope you get to relax and enjoy Christmas when this is all over for you. Thank you for your generosity. You make this fun.

    I really like the tutorial you have for applique on the cheap!! Great idea. I’ll be back to look at more later.

    The first thing I plan to make in the new year is a fabric postcard for a New Year’s Swap that will be due the first week of January. I’m also currently working on 40 fabric postcards for birthdays next year and if I don’t finish by the end of December then for sure I’ll finish them the first week of January.

    Thanks for the great giveaway!

    I have a quilt that I need to complete in the new year….the top is almost done but has had to wait due to Christmas sewing. Maybe your fabric will find its way into the quilt.

    I’d like to start on my handmade gifts for 2012 in January so I’m not finishing everything up last minute like I will be this year. The only problem is I have no idea what I want to make for next year’s gifts. If I haven’t come up with anything yet by January I’ll likely finish up the sofa cushion covers that have been in my pile for 2 years.
