Thesaurus Fat Quarter Bundle and Riley Blake Bolt End Basics - Giveaway

Hey everybody, it's one of the best days of the year - Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway Day! For the next four days, use the links on the Sew, Mama, Sew! web site to discover sewing blogs and enter to win some serious swag.

I'm pleased to offer two different bundles of fabric goodness this time around. The first is a Thomas Knauer Thesaurus fat quarter (18" x 22") bundle by Andover.

The bundle includes 8 fat quarters, for a total of 2 yards of prints in lovely greens, blues, and browns.

My second giveaway bundle was inspired by a fit on spring cleaning that hit over the weekend. The fact is, my pile of bolt ends/remnants from my online shop is overflowing and something must be done.

This bundle includes a piece of Riley Blake Designs' small chevrons, small dots, and solid quilting cotton in both navy and gray. The size of each piece varies, but the winner will receive a total of 2 yards. These fabrics are great for patchwork quilts, applique, or simply stash building. Thank you in advance for helping me clear out some much needed space.

Please use Rafflecopter to enter. I know not everybody loves it, but it sure makes life easier for us giveaway bloggers. You've got up to six ways to enter the giveaway. The easiest is to leave a comment with the answer to this question:

It's Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway Day!

I've been thinking a lot about color lately as I've been working on various quilts and patterns. Color, I love you, but it's hard not to notice the big trend of 2013 - low volume, neutrals, earth tones, whatever you want to call them.

So here's my question for you. Which color palette do you prefer? Low volume? High volume? Something in between?

Now a little about the loot...

Get your neutrals on with a signed copy of Amy Ellis' Modern Neutrals book.

Next up, a range of Moda Candy (cute little precut bundles of 2 1/2" squares) from low volume to high volume.

A copy of my quilt pattern, Bella Roma, where I encourage you to go bold with color!

And finally, a Hera Marker from Clover. While this item has nothing to do with high or low volume, it may come in handy when finishing your high or low volume quilt project. Use it to mark your quilting lines without using a pen/chalk/pencil.

So here's the entire lot of it:

This giveaway is open to U.S. folks, only. Good luck!

***winners have been contacted and announced here***

Hi and thanks for stopping by. It's Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day - one of my favorite days of the year! What a great way to discover new blogs, see what other people are making, and maybe score a little swag :)

This time around I've decided to give away two bundles of sewing happiness.

The first is two fat quarters (18" x 22") Dutch Door Press fabric from Kokka of Japan. It's available in my shop, Mini Mushrooms, but here's your chance to get some for free. It's absolutely lovely 85% cotton 15% linen lightweight canvas. Great for accessories, home decor projects, even quilting.

Here are more photos so you can see just how fabulous this print is:

The second little bundle of goodies includes a Riley Blake Designs Stacker (5" squares) of Lila Tueller's Bohemian Festival line. The colors are gorgeous - bright pink, sky blue, lovely green. I'm also throwing in two spools of Presencia 50 wt cotton thread in bright yellow and peach. Made in Spain, this is my favorite cotton thread!

To enter, simply leave a comment below and answer this question:

What is your favorite thing to sew?

I'll select two winners at random on December 7 at 5 p.m. PST. I'm happy to ship internationally (hooray!). The first winner will be allowed to choose which prize they prefer. the second winner will get the remaining bundle.

Thanks for participating and thanks for checking out my blog. Best wishes and good luck!
