This giveaway has now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered. You can see the winner here.
... a calendar. (It's the first day of December today, so does that make it an advent calendar?)
Anyway, thanks to the wonderful people at Martingale (well, I have to say that don't I? Guess who's publishing my book?) I have got this fantastic calendar to give away to one of you.
Every month there is a picture of a great quilt, like this,
or this,
or this,
but the really cool part is that you also get instructions to make each quilt. So now you could be organised, you have something wonderful to look at each month and you have loads of new projects to work on. There are applique projects, there are piecing projects, and for those of you who can't make up your mind which method you prefer, there are even projects with both piecing and applique in! As well as the instructions for each quilt, there is a useful section on general techniques such as making bias strips, preparing pieces for applique, etc.
The other thing I think is really good about this calendar is that the quilts are photographed so beautifully that you can even see how they have been quilted.
So, what do you have to do to win this? Simply leave me a comment on this post. Yep, that's all. You do not have to be a follower (although new followers are always welcome), but if you are, leave me a second comment telling me that you are and you will have a second entry. If you are a no-reply person, please leave me an email address so I can contact you if you are the winner. You are welcome to enter wherever you live in this world or in any other universe! This giveaway will be open until Tuesday 7 December at midnight (GMT) and the winner will be announced the following day. That way I will have time to post it to the winner so you receive it in time for Christmas.
They say the first to comment never wins....I hope I'll be the first to comment who win!!! Lol...

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely calendar. As I have been using an outdoor calendar for my 'green dot' gardening days, if I had this one I could have 'different colour dot days'! for when I do some quilting - how about that as an incentive to get me to the sewing machine?
