Time For A GIVEAWAY!
The best way to motivate yourself to clean your sewing room is to show a picture of the mess on your blog! I spent a whole day getting organized and going through all my fabric and taking stock of all the UFO's, etc. I still have to work on the closet, but I'm pleased with how much I got done. In celebration of organization I've decided to give away the entire bundle of fabric in the top picture. About 95 percent of it is Denyse Schmidt fabric from her various lines including some Flea Market Fancy. The pieces range from fat quarters to long strips to little pieces. What a fantastic quilt this would make. All you have to do to enter is be a follower of my blog and leave me a comment telling me what you're currently working on. My international friends are welcome also. I will leave the giveaway open until Thursday at midnight and announce the winner on Friday, Feb. 21. Have a great day!
Smiles,

For many years, wherever I would go, I'd visit the local quilt shop and "collect a yellow" and their business card! I now have a neat little singer sewing box full of cards documenting my travels (I dated the backs) and quite the stash of pale/med/deep yellows. I suspect I have 3-4 quilts worth... I just began the first and will make with yellows and browns a queen sunflower quilt using the raw edge rose bloom block that was popular a few years back.
ReplyDeleteI've been inspired by your blog for quite some time and would L.oV.e to win the drawing for such fabulous fabric.

Renee your generosity is almost overwhelming and it is definitely inspiring. I think I will do likewise in the next day or two. I would love to win - after all, if I give away some it will need replacing, don't you think. :) I am currently working on several things: a monkey fabric strip quilt for a friend, ruffles for an upcoming blog hop, a wool snowman table topper, an embroidered quilt Vintage Tin, and a red work tea towel. I know...way too many things but I love diversity. :) blessings, marlene

ReplyDeleteYour space looks so great! I am currently working on a couple quilts and some etsy projects. How do you make your fabric stacks so even? All my fabric is different sizes by the time I use them for different things. I cut smaller pieces into quilting squares and strips, but the leftovers are all different. Any tips for organizing? Oh, and count me in on the giveaway, I'll figure out how to organize it one way or another ;>)
ReplyDeleteI just adore your glass cabinets - they are so gorgeous, especially filled with all that lovely fabric.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
At the moment I am supporting my three year old with her wish to learn how to sew. So I am not really doing anything at the moment - just cutting out pattern pieces and helping to get the stitches straight. (and letting go of my inner control freak!!)
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to get on with some sewing for me soon - I want to make a quilt and keep working on my hexagons projects.
Working on charity quilts for our guild in Northern Michigan ... there is such a need for them at the neo-natal center at the local hospital, the VA facilities and some of the nursing homes. These fabrics would certainly be welcomed to our "charity stash". Your sewing room looks great ... makes me itch to take a day or so and get mine back into order. They get so "untamed" so very quickly!
ReplyDeleteYou will have fights in the streets over such beautiful material. I follow you by email and showed my husband pictures of your studio. Told him that's how I wanted my room to look. I think I shocked him, his eyes are still glazed over.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your blog and I am working on a number of projects (isn't that what we do as sewers)? your working space is just beautiful, you are very fortunate. Thank you for opening up this opportunity.

ReplyDeleteHi Renee, I've been following your blog for about a year and love it! I stumbled across it and immediately was drawn in because I am also a follower of Jesus and we spend part of every summer in South Haven, MI. I have stayed a follower because we also share a similar love of color, knitting and quilting. I joined the Downton Abbey mystery quilt-a-long with Love Bug Studios so that is what I'm working on. I'm using the Lady Mary colorway and loving it!

Hello Renee! I so enjoy your blog!! My first grandchild is due March 30th and I am so excited! I live in Arizona and I am flying to California on Friday to attend the baby shower. My DIL is registered at some fancy baby stores but I decided to get out my sewing machine and get to work. I have made some "Burpies" and a "Tummy Quilt" I took pictures and I must say I am very proud. I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win so I can continue to make more gifts full of love for my 1st grandchild!! Thank you!

Hello Ms. Renee
ReplyDeleteGreeting from snowy Mid-Michigan via BlogLovin'. I'm working on a scrappy Anvil quilt to give to my Father & Wife as a Peace Offering. We have a strained relationship that needs some fixing, so I'm making them a quilt. I would be so proud to be able to add your pieces into it to brighten it up like spots of sunshine. As I feel like a recently "saw the light" here.
Thank You for the chance to win your generous offer of a prize. Have a Blessed Day.
In Kind Regards,
Tricia
Hi - what a generous giveaway! I am currently working on a half-square triangle quilt for my daughter, made of batiks and white....
ReplyDeleteWendy wpmk91@aol.com
What a sweet room! Oh, the inspiration you must get in there. I have a very small Denyse Schmidt collection that I would love to add to. Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI love your fabric stash! I am a follower of your blog too. I just finished making a friendship braid quilt for my BFF's daughter for her 10th birthday last night. I'm not sure what my next project will be, I may go back to working on my EPP. Although, I have 3 jelly rolls that I want to make into one king sized jelly roll race quilt for my bed. Hmmm!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently working on an owl applique project I got at the Cincinnati Quilt show last year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous giveaway. I have a couple of pieces of DS Flea market, and yes indeed what a beautiful quilt it will make. I've just finished Goodnight Irene, and plan to start on my red and white quilt
ReplyDeleteI am a happy follower! :-) I love your sewing room... but what is on the table? It puzzles me. I'm working on a gift for a friend. Thanks for the fun!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower too, what an amazing give away, I have been working on aprons out of scrap bits of fabric. Although I should try and work on something larger, but a little hard with a wee baby, well done with organising your cupboard, looks amazing. Becca x
ReplyDeleteThat is a terrific give away. For the past four years I have been working on my cathedral windows. It's finished. But I have loads of 2 3/8 inch blocks left over. So I've cut those blocks to 1 1/2 inches and am making a chain quilt. Not sure what you really call it but I have a block of 9 by 9 one inch 30's squares. On the middle top and sides, there are blocks of bubble gum pink and a white block in the middle. The alternating block (nine inches square)has three one inch 30's blocks in each corner, surrounded by the pink blocks and then kona 'snow' fabric in the middle. It is more than a triple Irish chain, but that is the general look of it. Making it to fit a double bed. It is a very easy pattern but takes some time to match the seams of such small blocks. It's fun. Pat McDonald
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous giveaway. Love reading your blog. Everything you make is always so pretty. I also love the Bible Verse you post on Sundays-such a beautiful way to witness and tell others about our wonderful God! I currently have several projects started but my biggest one is a quilt I am making with reproductions fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on a dress & 2 quilts. I'm following under my debbie@wowilikethat.com Thanks for the chance to win.
