And now, we are moving onto the giveaway portion of today–I know you all have been waiting. =)  I seriously want to enter this giveaway myself…it’s a good one!–And it’s all about my favorites.

Of course, the winner of the giveaway will receive a copy of Playful Petals:

Playful Petals Cover

Next up, how about some Moda Fabrics layer cakes?!—Moda fabrics has been and will remain my favorite fabric manufacturer.  15 years ago, I fell in love with a certain Moda fabric designer and spent hours scouring the internet for pieces from one of her lines of fabric.  This was back in the day of dial up internet which meant it was slow going..but, I just fell in love with Moda!

Moda Fabrics has sent me two layer cakes for my giveaway, one of Kate Spain’s new Horizon line of fabric & one of The Jung’s new Pedal Pushers line of fabric.

Layer Cakes

I do a lot of fabric shopping locally but I also love shopping for fabric online.  I reached out to one of my favorite online fabric shops…which I am sure you are all very familiar with..Fat Quarter Shop…and they donated a $50 gift certificate to their shop for my giveaway!
They have recently added some awesome things to their site…Have you all seen the Snapshots Quilt Along yet?–seriously amazing!:
SnapShots Quilt Kit

 Well, I figured why stop with one online shop?..So I reached out to another of my favorite online shops…Fabric Shack.  Fabric Shack has both a great online store and a brick and mortar store which happens to be about 25 minutes from my sister-in-law’s house in Cincinnati.  So, it is a must stop for me whenever we visit.  The thing I love the most about shopping online at Fabric Shack is that they will cut 1/8 yd. cuts of fabric.  For my scrap loving self, this is perfect!  In fact, I bought 1/8 yd. cuts of the complete Up Parasol line from Fabric Shack when I was making my Tiled Blooms quilt:

Tiled Blooms Quilt

Fabric Shack donated a $25 Gift Certificate to their online shop as part of today’s giveaway!

Well, since I don’t do all of my fabric shopping online, I contacted my favorite local quilt shop, Miller’s Dry Goods, to see if they would be interested in donating to my giveaway…and they said yes!–Now you might be thinking that you won’t be able to shop here..but, they also have a wonderful online shop to which they’ve donated a $30 Gift Certificate.

They carry all kinds of goodies..some of my favorites:  The 8 wt. Finca Perle Cotton I am always referencing for hand quilting, Aurifil thread(which everyone in blogland is always referencing), Moda fabrics, Cotton & Steel fabrics, a great selection of solids, and the list goes on.  Plus, you will not find a more accommodating staff!

Plus, they have the prettiest quilting retreat center, The Rural Thimble,  right beside their fabric shop.  Every time I shop there, I am envious of the ladies staying over in that facility–so pretty, newly opened, and just perfect for a group of 10 ladies to get together and sew to their heart’s content.

So, here’s the rundown of the giveaway prizes(a value of nearly $200):

  • Playful Petals Book
  • 2 Moda Layer Cakes
  • $50 Gift Certificate to Fat Quarter Shop
  • $25 Gift Certificate to Fabric Shack
  • $30 Gift Certificate to Miller’s Dry Goods

To Enter the Giveaway: Comments are now Closed

One lucky person will win all of these goodies!  You can enter the giveaway through next Friday, October 3.  Just leave a comment for me below in the comments section with your favorite project from Playful Petals.

Happy Friday!

  11. I love the Scattered Blossoms as I have a lot of scraps.

  12. Lynn says:

  20. Liz rehrauer says:

    An entire quilt of appliqué seems like a challenge for me, and I am always up for a challenge. I have a great machine so I don’t have to do it by hand. This is my winter 2014 quilt challenge. I loves seeing all the beautiful projects giving helping me with ideas. Your book is my next purchase, that is, of course, if I don’t win it. Thanks for the chance.

  21. Lee says:

    Oh have I ever been enjoying the blog hop. It has been fun to see all of the different versions of you patterns. Can’t say enough about all of the ladies projects. I guess my favorite project would be the Rainbow Petal pillow. Fast and so cute!

  65. Linda M says:

    How on earth to choose one favorite? I guess I love the pillows and mini made from the cover pattern. They look simple but beautiful. I’ve never done applique though so maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about with the simple. I’d be happy to just win the book!

  106. Pam says:

    Ohhh…..It’s hard to pick one project from this delightful book. I love the layered petals of Posey Patch and the elegance of Tiled Blooms. (And your fabric choices for that are gorgeous!).

Thanks so much for offering this generous giveaway!

  107. Chris says:

    Congratulations on the book. I like the Starflower Quilt or the pillows. I love pillows everywhere.

  108. Linda Fleming says:

    All of the projects are beautiful!
    My favorite is the Scattered Blossoms Quilt.

  109. Felicia says:

    I just found your site from a link on Amanda Jean’s site. I really like your story about your book. I fall into that category about being intimated by applique. But your projects look so divine, that it makes me want to try my hand at applique. Congratulations on publishing your first book. The photography is beautiful.

  110. dispack says:

    I have so enjoyed all of the projects on all the blogs. I “think” Flower Garden is my fav. Love them all tho’, would love to win. Sure am itching to do some petals. Thanks a lot.

  111. Kristin R. says:

    All of the projects are wonderful! I especially love Sunshine and Clouds. I recently pieced an orange peel quilt, but I would like to try the applique method. I particularly like the two-fabric petals of Sunshine and Clouds.

  112. Linda says:

    I liked the daisy fields pillow. It has a lovely simple look to show off favourite fabrics.

  113. Theresa says:

    I enjoyed seeing all the projects on the blog hop, they are all soooo awesome!!!! If I had to choose one, I think Amanda Jean’s version is my favorite. Just couldn’t resist the red!!!
    Thank you so much for this wonderful giveaway!!!

  114. Julia Flint says:

    I absolutely love the daisy garden quilt! I love your idea of using Christmas fabrics!!! Can’t wait to get this book and try appliqué!

  115. All of the designs look great – I was quite taken by the Daisy Fields pillow. Congrats on your book, I am sure it will sell well!

  116. I love the Tiles Blooms quilt- so very effective in the colour-way you chose but is just made of simple shapes. Lovely!

  117. Clara says:

    I’m not able to choose any, I love all of them!!1 Maybe Tiled blooms…I really don’t know. I like all of them. Thank you for the chance!!!

  118. Nancy M says:

    I really do like them all. The first one I would like to try is Tiled Blooms.

  124. jmniffer says:

    I love the quilt on the cover of your book! While I would love to make it, I think I would need to start with a pillow. Now to choose which one…Daisy Fields probably. Thanks for the tour and for the chance at an awesome giveaway.

  125. Judy says:

    What a fabulous give away! I’ve enjoyed seeing the beautiful projects that have been created from your book. The Tiled Blooms pattern is certainly one of my favorites, though it is hard to choose a favorite!

    Definitely love them all but am partial to yours.. the tiled blooms quilt. so pretty

  127. Laura says:

    Since the first glimpse at your new book, I have wanted to make the cover quilt. I am not usually one to touch applique, but this quilt speaks to me and is on my to-do list for January. (I must finish Christmas gifts first this year, haha)

  128. Elizabeth Bell says:

    You had me from playful. All projects are stunning.

  129. Jen says:

  131. Cheryl says:

    I like them all, but I will choose the mini quilt illustrated on Diary of a Quilter. And that quilt on the front cover — I really like that one, too.

  132. Linda says:

    My goodness such great prizes. I think I’d feel guilty receiving all of them and would want to give away some on my blog. Maybe. 😉
    It is hard to choose a favorite, but Flower Garden is my favorite quilt, with the applique in the border and sashing – just gorgeous. My favorite pillow is Tossed Petals.

  133. Linda says:

    I love all of the pillows. I’m going to be busy picking out fabric for a pillow that will look good on my couch. Great giveaway by the way.

  134. Renee G says:

    I like the pillows like the one that they made on A Quilting Life.

  135. Lori says:

    They are all lovely, but my fav is Tiled Blooms. Thank you for the awesome giveaway. Enjoyed this series very much.

  136. Hayley says:

    Gosh it’s a bit hard to choose one, but if I had to it would be scattered petals. I also love the mini buds. Congrats on your book!

  231. Karen Thurn says:

    This blog hop has been fun to follow and I enjoy seeing how each quilter/sewer has taken each pattern and changed/tweaked it to make it her own. Even the choice of fabric makes for huge changes. I can’t wait to get (maybe win) a copy of the book. I can’t just pick one but if I have to I’d say Amy’s (Diary of a Quilter) mini quilt turned out really cute. kthurn@bektel.com
