Giveaway Day!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! THANKS FOR VISITING!
Congrats to Sarah of narcoleptic in a cupboard!


Welcome to A Quilter's Table!  I'm pleased to have you stop by. It's Giveaway Day on Sew, Mama, Sew! but odds are you know that. So we'll get right to the order of business!

The giveaway I'm offering is a stack of fat-eighths of Summerville (24 fabrics), a fun, colorful line by lucie summers for moda.
To enter, just leave a comment on this post telling me what new technique you'd like to add to your quilting repertoire. The giveaway will close at 5PM PST on Friday, and I'll randomly choose a winner soon after. Any comments that inadvertently get left after 5PM but before I close off the contest will not be included. And I'm happy to ship international, so everyone's welcome. *Please include an email address in your comment if it is not accessible through your profile.*
Thanks again for joining in the fun! If you aren't a regular follower, I hope you visit again soon and join me on my journey of quilting and sharing around the table.

Linking up with Sew, Mama, Sew!

  1. I've been wanting to branch out with my FMQing. I'm an old hand at stippling, and I've done pebble quilting and some free motion triangles, but I'd really love to do some swirls and flowers and more intricate things.
    And I'm loving the little bit of Summersville that I have :)
