- You can spend the day communing with your stash in your studio
- You can spend the day, and the contents of your wallet at your local quilt shop
- You can spend the day in front of your machine and sew all day and all night....guilt free
- You can spend hours in front of the computer watching QNN, The Quilt Show, Quilters TV, catching up on Alex and Ricky and Eleanor
- You can spend the day on the couch, with your feet on the coffee table, box of bon bons at your side, leafing through the last years' worth of quilting magazines that always came at a time you were too busy to give them more than a quick glance
- You can spend the afternoon in a lounge chair, out in the yard, soaking up the sun while you hand sew binding and labels on the last few unfinished projects that have been piling up on your cutting table
Here's what you're playing for...
FABRIC!!!!!!
109 (give or take 1 or 2) 6" charm squares. There are at least 80 or more unique floral prints in this pack. More than enough to combine with some sashing to make a scrappy Spring throw, or a couple of tote bags.
One winner will take this lovely fabric home. And we'll also have a couple of trinkets from the AQS Lancaster Show to raffle off as consolation prizes.
I'm going to give you multiple chances to win this one:
- Post a comment telling me what you'll be doing on National Quilting Day on this post for one chance.
- Post a comment on Saturday's post telling me about your progress for another chance.
- Become a follower (or if you are a follower already, let me know) for 1 more chance.
- Post about my giveaway (link to my blog) on your blog, or Facebook wall for 1 more chance (1 chance for each place you post)
- Every person that you direct to the giveaway that says that you sent them gets you an extra chance. (Please ask them to use the name that you comment with, so there's no confusion when I'm doling out chances)
I'll spend half the day sewing with the quilting ladies in my home town. A great way to celebrate the day.

I didn't know it was National Quilting Day either. I'd like to get some sewing and quilting done, maybe some embroidery too. Need to put away some new fabrics I purchased and get organized. I sew much better when organized. Great way to spend the day!
ReplyDeleteI've been one of your followers since 2009. Enjoy your blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of your loyal stalkers.
ReplyDeleteI'm just having a little break from my FNSI stitching. Tomorrow I'll be having the whole day on my own and stitching my little socks off as DH is fitting a kitchen for his DS. I'm going to make some fabric postcards for a swap and then start on some projects I bought fabric for when I was in New Zealand last year.
ReplyDeleteI will be piecing on some sampler quilt blocks that I hope to use as a backing on another quilt top...kinda reversible, huh? LOL
ReplyDeleteIf I get tired I might haul out some of my stash and caress it!!

ReplyDeleteFor National Quilting Day, I plan to: (1) work on a challenge quilt, (2) find the parts to this month's UFO, and (3) work on the pressor foot issues my new [old] machine seems to have
ReplyDeleteI'm back again to report that I have been working on the lap quilt for my cousin's 50th birthday. Also have to tell you that my daughter is tiring of my comment that it's National Quilting Day... after I ask her to put the dog out, bring the dog in, bring me something to snack on... and so on! hehehe
ReplyDeleteYep, worked on a customer's quilt most of the day now getting ready to run kids to town..then back to work on a BOM, then out to pick kids up...burning the rubber!!

ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun blog you have and what a nice group of fabrics you are giving away. I have put you name on my blog list so I can come and visit again.
Today I want to work on a quilt for my father- I have been looking at magazines now for quite awhile to try to figure out how to use some nature panels- I have lots of choices which is always a double edged sword when it comes to decision making.
Thanks for the opportunity to win such nice charm squares.
Regards,
Anna

ReplyDeleteI'm working on my "Dino Games" quilt - appliqueing down the dinos.

ReplyDeleteLis at Online Quilting sent me over.
Oh, oh, I think I posted that on the wrong day... hope it still counts.
