Today celebrates by 500th post so what better way to celebrate than to have a giveaway. But what should I give? Well I’ve thought and thought and I think I’ve come up with the perfect thing. So here’s how it’s going to work…………….
As you probably know I am on my way to Salt Lake City where I’ll be setting up a booth to promote my pattern business. But what you may not know is that one of the most exciting things to do at Quilt Market is to attend Sample Spree. It’s held the night before the show opens (in this case tomorrow, Thursday 5/12/11 at 8:00 pm). It is an absolute mad house but really, really fun. I’ve been to several and always come away with some real treasures like fat quarter bundles, jelly rolls, layer cakes, etc. Thank goodness I’m exhibiting at the show but not vending at sample spree so once again I get to shop. This time, if you win the giveaway, I will shop for you. Doesn’t that sound like fun? So leave me a comment letting me know what kind of fabric you love, 30’s, brights, geometrics, civil war, you get the idea.
Before I leave for Sample Spree tomorrow night, I will draw a winner and I will do my best to shop with you in mind. And what the heck, while I’m there I’ll probably do a little shopping for me too.
Here’s a few picture I borrowed from Robert Kaufman. These were taken at Sample Spree last October in Houston. Tomorrow night this will be Melinda and me.
and,
So come along for the ride. Leave me a comment to help me celebrate 500 posts.
Enjoy,

If I win (doubt I will since I'm first), surprise me! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll try for this....love brights now. Have fun!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow,what a great blog and website! Just found you through your YouTube video on how to make the rolled pillowcases. Since I've only been sewing a couple of months, your instructions really helped clear up my confusion about how to make those pillowcases! Thanks from a grateful newbie! :) Have fun at the quilt market--- sounds like a blast! Congrats on your 500th post too!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and website! You were a great help this past Christmas as I was making your wonderful pillow cases for my family.

ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to start a 30s quilt and would love to add to my small collection if I win.
Congratulations of your 500th blog post and having your block in Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks. Sample Spree sounds like a hoot. Pick something pretty. Florals and novelties are my favorites.

Congrats on 500 posts. Have a great time and fun.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your salt Lake City trip.
Fun...love reading about your market trip adventures...
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the "feeding" frenzy, having just returned from Paducah. ...but, quilters always are polite, while pulling that fabric away from you! My preference is Civil War --- though I've never met a fabric I didn't like --- just ask my husband!

Wish I was there to go shopping!! I would take anything that appealed to you.

Oh gosh I never win at these things, so just give me anything left over. I'm just reading your blog as usual.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 500 posts! I love civil war fabrics.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 500th post! And have a great time in Salt Lake City! I love brights, lime greens and oranges and bright blues and yellows. Thanks for shopping for me! ;0)
ReplyDeletecongrats on your 500 postings!! I would so love to go to a Market. I'm good for something new in the novelty area. Loved the bottle caps I saw on True Up.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 500th post. Good thing I'm not able to go to Market, I'd be like a kid in a candy store, but I'd love to win your contest! I love brights, and shirtings. Odd combination I know, but I have lots of Civil War repros and not a lot of shirtings, LOL.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful market! Hope its highly successful for you. I love Moda especially 3 Sisters and French General, but then I like most all fabric. I'm easy to please:) Take care!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 500 blog post and for having a block in the Quiltmaker's l00 blocks. I like florals. Have a great time!
