Good suggestion, and thanks, Lynda. Congratulations on winning the Priory Square bundle. Enjoy!

We Have {Giveaway Day} Winners!

Well THAT was fun! Giveaway Day is now over, and it's time to announce some winners!

230 commenters responded to the question, "Where do you find the biggest inspiration online?" The usual suspects - blogs and Pinterest - being mentioned most often. The winner of my "Canvas"-inspired pincushion is #90. Linda said: "I'm trying to limit the number of blogs I'm following but I find I start reading one and then follow the links on whatever interests me. Sew Mam Sew is my favorite - there's always something interesting/informative going on there." How fun is that? I think we all can relate.  

From now until May 24, purchase the "Canvas" pattern on Etsy or Craftsy at 50% off. 

For the Etsy version, use coupon code CANVAS50. Both shops are under 'she can quilt'.

I have all sorts of links to peruse to search out your favorite sources of online inspiration! Thanks for sharing those - all 567 of you!

#71 wins some Pearl Bracelets and that is Wens/Wendy of Wendy World! Wens commented, "Ooh pearl bracelets, so awesome! I love Pile o fabrics youtube video tutorials! But I watch many! Need all the help I can get- ha! Cheers for the chance :)" 

Congrats to Linda and Wendy! And thanks to all of you for the fun!

Color and More

I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw that there were 28 new KONA colors coming in July! With names like water, sprout, flame, and oyster . . . well let's just say I'm anxious to see and use them. Look here for a listing on the Robert Kaufman website.

And speaking of color, someone posted a link to a list of color blogs recently. Sorry I don't remember where I saw it, but you're bound to find some good inspiration among these blogs, so just fyi.

Can't help but give a shout-out to my daughter Rachel who blogs at Snippets of Sweetness. She recently made a table runner she calls "Scattered Chevron", and it is so striking! She shared her inspiration, the back story, and more pics on her post here. Pretty cool, huh?

On the other hand, I got a chuckle (what's new?) at my son's comment on my recent Zakka project:

. . . a new comment on your post "Zakka Along Week 5 :: Patchwork Pencil Case": 

"So you gonna sew dad a pocket protector?" 

Uh, probably not.

Thankfully my friend Susan gave me a head's up about Giveaway Day, and now today I see the announcement posted on Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway Day is a huge biannual event for bloggers to give away handmade items or supplies. I participated in December and it was loads of fun. (Wasn't it, Marci?)

Why do it? (reprinted from the announcement page)

Participants benefit because a) they get new readers (many participants end up with hundreds of comments & visitors); b) they get potential shoppers/readers; c) they can experience the joy of giving something they’ve made to a virtual friend. Readers benefit because a) they get exposed to blogs with great ideas; b) they are directed to shops with wonderful items; c) they get the opportunity to win a cool handmade prize!

All good reasons, yes? Find all the details here.

Enough randomness for today. Hope you have a good one!

Giveaway Day!

Lucky us! It's Giveaway Day at Sew, Mama, Sew!

I'm really glad you joined me here at A Quilter's Table! This is my first time participating in Giveaway Day, and I confess, it is pretty exciting! I am a long-time quilter, but this year, joining the online quilting community has expanded my quilting horizons by leaps and bounds!

For Giveaway Day, I made a Christmas mini quilt that could be used as a table topper or wall hanging.

Using my mini-x tutorial {here}, it measures 16" square, and is quilted with some organic swirly line stitching.

The backing is a festive reindeer print, and the mini is finished off with a hand-stitched binding

(Note that no fabric has been prewashed in the making of this project.)

Giveaway Day is actually Giveaway Week, lasting from today, December 12, through Friday, December 16 at 5PM PST! To enter, leave a comment on this post, and include the answer to this question: "What is your most unusual holiday tradition?"

I will choose a random winner within 48 hours of the close of the giveaway, and am happy to ship internationally. Please make sure I have an email for you, either from your blog profile, or included in your comment. If not, I will choose a new winner.

After you comment here, do go join in the fun and visit more giveaway posts linked at Sew, Mama, Sew!

Very Cool!

Very cool indeed! When I saw this in my Quilting with A Quilter's Table group on flickr last night, my mouth dropped open! I guess I was shocked at the discovery of something in my group besides my original mini 'x'! Isn't it the cutest?!

1. Mini 'X' Quilt

It was made by P. of The Way I Sew It, and I'm as pleased as can be that she made such a beauty using my tutorial! {see here}

And thanks, Susan, for bringing to my attention that there is a big bloggy giveaway event beginning December 12, sponsored by Sew, Mama, Sew!  There are six different categories, with both handmade items and supplies, and it sounds pretty cool. See all the details here.

Lastly, I noticed a new swap starting on flickr, if anyone is interested, swapping Japanese x and + blocks, such as this one I made:

Anyway, just fyi - the group is here. 

Enough coolness for one post, eh?
