Fabric, Blocks, and A Giveaway! Oh My!

Hello lovlies!

So this past month has been one of insanity in my life.  One complete with life changes, annoyances, long working hours, trips out of town, meeting unbelievable people, and many other things.  So needless to say - I have been a bit busy.  Thus the small absence.

But now things thankfully seem to be back to our regularly scheduled broadcasting and I have time to sew (and buy fabric online) again!

First off - can you believe that I totally missed the release of Tula's Prince Charming in online shops?!  I couldn't!  Bad Tula Troop! Bad!  So I quickly rectified this by ordering a FQ set of the entire line.  Now I just need to get my hands on the lovely lovely voiles.

Tula Pink Prince Charming

Also I got my act together and finished my May bee blocks and even got started on a June set! First up is Elizabeth's blocks in my String Me Along bee. She asked for 15" square in a square blocks.  Love making these!

String Me Along - May 2011

Next up are some crazy blocks for do Good. Stitches May.  These blocks were hard for me even with the tutorial.  I tried so hard to just go with whatever scrap I pulled out next, but I don't think they have enough angles (too many squares) and the sizes of the scraps are a bit all over the place.  Oh well.  Hopefully they can be used and appreciated once the whole quilt is done!

Finally, I worked on the June blocks for do. Good Stitches which were these awesome slanted diamond blocks!  These were so fun and easy to make, the tutorial was super simple, and I cannot wait to see the finished quilt!!

Now onto what you all have been waiting for!

A GIVEAWAY!  

While I was totally absent from the internet this past month I surpassed 10,000 page views, plus the Bella Solids Parade was conducted and concluded!  For the parade I made another of my Cacophony of Color mini quilts with 31 different Bella Solids courtesy of Fat Quarter Shop, which means I have TONS of left overs!!

So the giveaway is for a HUGE STACK of Moda Bella Solids (scrap to over 1/4 pieces) as well as a ziplock bag full of small scraps!

Giveaway!!

To enter is easy!  Plus you have 3 chances!

1. Leave a comment - it can be anything from a simple howdy to a story about how quilting has caused you to be known in all your LQS to the point that the employees have a picture of you behind the counter so that they know when they see you they are about to have to earn their paychecks by cutting 42 pieces of fabric.

2. Leave an additional comment if you are a follower - new or old - doesn't matter!

3. Leave an additional comment if you participated in any way in the Bella Solids Parade!

Easy right?!  I will leave comments open for a week and will draw a winner next Sunday evening (6.12.11)!

GOOD LUCK!

    I poke my nose in my LQS every time I go shopping, but I rarely have the budget to buy everything I drool over :) I am planning to do a "mod mood" quilt this year as part of a quilting bee, and I need a lot of different solids! It is a pretty amazing improvisational quilt design, and I am so glad to have the help of my quilting friends to help me finish it. Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

    Lovely giveaway! Okay, got a story for you. My now 18 yo dd and 16 yo ds were both almost born in my then LQS. They used to laugh at me, all big and still sewing my behind off. Sewing is a passion and nothing stops it! Well, I did take time off to give birth - but after that...right back to the machine! When my now 22 yo dd was born, I "wore" her while I made two wedding gowns and the bridesmaids and little flower girls dresses... Hey, I needed to be home the first 6 months of her life and my job didn't have a paid maternity leave... Sewing IS my PASSION!

    I was at my LQS a couple weeks ago with my non-quilting friend. When I walked in they all greeted me by name and my friend commented that it was like being with a rockstar.
    On a sad note, I was also there when they had to apprehend a shoplifter.

    I am so well known in my LQS that when my second daughter was born I was demanded that I let them know. My husband sent the lovely ladies an email and I found out later that an unoffical announcement was made and hung in the LQS office. It was very thoughtful. Now the owner just sold the shop and I don't know the new owner I am a bit worried.

    Well I don't have a local quilt shop, but my local Joann's know me because I keep coming in buying only 1 or 2 DS Quilt prints at a time, so I can use my coupons! One of the ladies told me she went online to read about Denyse Schmidt and this fabric to "see what all the fuss was about", ha. Anyway, I completed my collection today, so I'm sure they'll miss me until I need batting :)

    Here's a good LQS story for you... ok well I typically buy fabric online and at Joann's so not entirely LQS... but for the past several months my almost 3 yr old has been playing "fabric store." She'll grab her purse and her baby is in it's stroller, and she'll walk out of the room explaining "mommy I'm going to the fabric store. Buying some pretty fabric!" lol. She's a trip. She loves chatting it up with our fav. Joann's worker. :) They know her by name.

    I didn't think I was well known in my LQS, it is in Montgomery, AL. I'm kinda new to the area, I was in Birmingham, AL to see a reading by my favorite author, David Sedaris, do a reading when a lady tapped me on the shoulder. She was from my LQS. I admit I didn't recognize her. She described me, with my red head, curly head, and screaming infant in tow and said she was from the fabric store, and I did recognize her. I've looked for her each time I've gone in there since- but haven't seen her again yet. It was just one of those small world stories. Thanks for the chance. (I came here from FLICKR)

    I learned how to sew and quilt during my last pregnancy and have been hooked ever since. Whenever I would go into the LQS, the ladies would say, "Haven't had that baby yet, huh?" to which I would reply, "No, but I am not allowed back here to spend money until I do!" It started to become a joke because, sure enough, I would pop back in there a couple days later needing something or other.

I'm sure they think I'm some kind of vagrant with nowhere else to go. But it's on my way home from work and open til 8pm!! It's their own fault!

    I'm working on my 1st quilt. It's actually been pretty difficult because it's made from men's pants and shirts. the fabric is just way to stretchy so not everything is as perfect as I would like it. But I had fun and and I'm happy with it. Hopefully I'll get to your level of beautiful quitling one day.
    Lovely blocks!

    This is a wonderful giveaway! I just finished my Patchwork Squared Modern Solids quilt top, and both my son and my daughter's boyfriend love it! Since that was the very first time I used solids (yes, can you believe it?) I don't have any left to make another quilt, but it appears I'll need two of them. SO, this would be an awesome fabric selection for that next "solids" quilt.

    I signed up for the Bella Solids flickr group and lurked. I actually didn't have time to run around and take photos and upload them all. But I did get some awesome ideas for using color combinations!

    There actually is a quilt shop here that knows me. Normally, they write down the bolt numbers and amounts and take that to the register. I usually buy so much that they always just take all the bolts over to the counter to scan instead. LOL!

    My LQS knows I come in totally clueless about what fabrics I want. Yet I have an idea in my head that needs feeding...with fabrics. So they have to work their butts off when I come in, and I imagine they hide in the back room dreading who is going to have to wait on me. But hey! That's what they're there for - right? And I can't help it that I'm an idjit when it comes to what looks good. I just know what I like and don't like, and I have to depend on their expertise regarding whether I'm using the fabrics in the patterns to their best advantage. One day I'll get it, but as for now, I still have a lot to learn.
