Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day, May 2014

by 900 Comments

Yeah!  It is Sew Mama Sew’s Giveaway Day’!  I LOVE Giveaway Day! (well..technically week).  It’s a great opportunity to take some time, check out bloggers, and of course – win some goodies in the process!
 
Before we get to the giveaway I want to tell you WHY you want to follow my blog and read it every time I post!
My Quilts
I tend to make quilts that don’t follow any typical guidelines.  I love to have fun with colors, prints, and mixing the unexpected.  I recently posted about my ‘African Impromptu Quilt’.
IMG_8270
And I’ll be sharing the whole story behind the latest quilt I finished ‘Novitiate Nebula’ later this week.  Trust me…this is just the start.  I hope to have my Fairy Tale/Aurifil Sampler quilt finished in the next month or so…I can’t wait to take the final pictures of that one!  I can pretty much guarantee that comments about my quilts will not be “It’s boring” or “I’ve seen that before.”

Project QUILTING
Project QUILTING – a fun quilting challenge that gets posted every other week.  I am currently between ‘seasons’ of Project QUILTING but I am posting a monthly ‘off season’ challenge to keep everyone motivated and inspired to make a quilt each month.  Also – it’s time to PQ4Me Luxury Quilt Retreat Weekendsign up for the PQ4Me Quilt Retreat weekend coming in 2015!  It’s going to be an amazing weekend that you’re not going to want to miss this!
IMG_6596
I’ll be making by television debut on PBS with ‘Nancy’s Corner’ – a portion of the show ‘Sewing with Nancy’ in September of 2014.  I had the pleasure of talking to her about Project QUILTING and why it’s been such an inspiration to so many!
 
To read more about what it is check out the ‘Project QUILTING’ page.
I never say no to a challenge – this one’s not related to Project QUILTING but you’re going to want to read about it – the Farm to Fabric Challenge.
Quilt Alongs –
52 BlocksTwo years ago I hosted my very first quilt along – Home Sweet Home followed by ‘My Favorite Block Quilt Along’.
This year I switched it up a bit and I’m  sharing a block tutorial every week for the entire year – yup, 52 blocks!  Of course – there’s a twist…you’ll have to stop HERE to see what it’s all about!  I’ve already shared 19 Block tutorials so far this year – everything from a whale to a fox to a group of baby chickens!
PS.  I’m still looking for guest block designers/bloggers…head over and see if it’s something you’d be interested in…

Hearts for SusieHearts for Susie – Hearts for Susie is a little campaign I’m running to help raise awareness for Women’s Heart Health.  You can read more on why I chose this as my mission HERE.

Family and Orchard –
photo by Karmen Linder Photography I have three beautiful baby girls, a handy hubby and an apple orchard.  You’ll get to hear more about our adventure’s throughout the year and for some reason it seems like we’re never lacking in adventure.

Alright… enough about me!  Let’s see what I’m GIVING AWAY this week!…

  11. We usually go on multiple bikes rides during the summer. Once my husband asked if I wanted to go for a ride to get ice cream. I love ice cream, of course I wanted to go. 40 miles later I got my ice cream, wait a minute….. 🙂 I got a large that day

  17. The most exiting part of our summer is to go to camp with 30 other families who has a child with liver illness, like my son has.

  20. my email address is linked to my profile so I hope that's OK? I don't tend to have adventures during the summer, I work full time and don't have any kids so it's just like any other time of year for me! We might get one mildly sunny day over here in England, in which case I might put some factor 50 on and get my flip flops out!

  31. are flag football bowls anadventre ..well for me they are … strawberry picking on those "pick them yourself" fields is probably more child friendly

  37. We usually stick close to home and find fun things to do around here but with hubby deploying for the third time since Anne was born this year we are doing a making memories trip to Disneyland.

  48. Last summer I had the "adventure" of selling a house and moving into another house. I will not be repeating that this year. This summer I have graduated from college and am embarking on a new non-profit gig and starting my freelance business. I guess you could say that my favorite summer adventures are creating my new life and choosing new personal challenges.

  49. This summer we have 2 family adventures planned – a drive up the western coast to the boarder (bottom to top of the USA) and then back down more central, visiting some parks – we love family road trips! and a week at the beach camping.

  66. Aww my 13 year old daughter and I would love to win! We are teaching ourselves to sew and quilt and would LOVE to have these items. We are working on a quilt top now using the Moda Honeysweet Fabric but would love to have this to add as stash. Thanks so much!

  67. I am blessed that my daughter and her husband and their 2 beautiful children allow me to tag along on their summer vacations. In return for my travel, I keep the kids for a full day and let the parents go off alone. It works out great for everyone!

  78. I enjoy going camping. I like to stay up late and look up towards the stars. The food tastes so much better when cooking outside. It's a great way to relax and enjoy the one you're with. Thank you for the opportunity to win your generous giveaway and being a part of this Sew Mamma Sew fun.

  87. my email is on my profile and my blog 😉

    As for summer adventures, I really love to take the kids and discover all the beaches on both sides of state and find the natural beautiful ones that are not touristy and crowded and just enjoy natural beautiful Florida!

    Reply

  88. So far it hasn't been too exciting – 6 years of pregnancies and having babies… but we usually try to go to the lake for a couple of weeks, hoping to get the kids into waterskiing and tubing and hiking as they grow!

  98. Exciting adventures? If it involves caves or the sea or hilltops or forests then we'll be there 🙂

  100. These days my adventures consist of traveling to visit my grandchildren, but only in the winter. Summer here in Minnesota can't be missed. This year I'm looking forward to my youngest daughter, my granddaughter, and three furry grands spending a few months with me, which will probably be an adventure.

    Reply

  103. I love to go to Garner State Park to meet up with family (it is kind of a reunion) and go swimming. I also love to go to a brother's lake house for the same reasons. We try to make a trip to the beach every summer because I am a beach girl. 🙂

    Thank you for a chance to win!

  110. With two little ones every day is an adventure! This summer I'm looking forward to impromptu trips to the beach (less than an hour away), an adults-only trip to Vegas, and a family trip to Eagle Crest in Central Oregon for a WEEK!

  129. I love to go visit my granddaughters in South Texas, and make our annual jaunt to Fredericksburg, TX for Main Street Shopping. It's an annual ritual for my husband and I.

  144. Summer is for camping, camping and more camping. We love to head to the Rocky Mountains in Canada and northern Montana. This is bear country and not for the faint of heart. We love to go hiking, reaching the top of those mountain peaks is so exhilarating, there is nothing that compares! BRING ON SUMMER!

    Reply

  173. Now that the kids are grown and take care of themselves, we're able to go away for weekend road trips on our own schedule – not on theirs – it's wonderful, lol. When we hear about a festival or show (or truck pull!) we can hop in the car and go 🙂 Needless to say, I have a few "upcoming events" sites bookmarked to check regularly 😉

    Reply

  188. I like to hike mountains. It's almost time for our first hike of the season, so I have to pick out peaks soon. Thanks for the chance to win. I'm loving those colors!

    Reply

  199. In the summer I like to visit my son & his family in WA. It may not sound exciting to you, but my grandson is 2 this summer and is like a barrel of monkeys!!!

  224. We don't often get to go far, but the next trip we want to take is to visit my family in South Africa and have fun showing my husband and kids around all the beautiful sights and interesting places I remember and want to share with them. Not to mention all the people I want them to meet!

    Reply

  227. I am planning a big road trip from Winnipeg where I am now to Alberta (where I grew up) with 2 small children. Am I crazy? Probably. But it's going to be a summer adventure for sure! 😀

    Reply

  228. Wow my summer adventures. I have a very adventurous side. I have gone skydiving from 14,000 feet, I have fed stingrays in the Caymans (huh??), I have taken sunset snorkels with all sorts of marine like (what was I thinking), I have white water rafted in Costa Rica (just beautiful). I have braved the heavy traffic in Branson MO to enjoy its wonders. I took a trip through Napa & Sonoma valleys to wine country. I have enjoyed the Bijous and food of New Orleans.

    In a short sentence (smile) I like to see and do for my summer adventures.

  247. I spend a week every summer at a summer camp that has no electricity and no running water. If that isn't an adventure, I don't know what is. Love the bright fabrics!

    Reply

  250. What beautiful fabric! My family of 4 kids, love to go to the river or creek and play in the water during the Summer. It gets hot here, in the low 100s, so it's nice and refreshing when we can go cool off. Thanks for a great giveaway.

    Reply

  257. I always like to take long walks outside with my dog when it's summer and the weather is great, she loves to swim as well, so when it's hot we go to a nearby pond. We have a beautiful countryside here 🙂

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  261. Summer adventures tend to be avoiding bees. BEES! OMG! SO.MANY.BEES! So most of our adventures are indoors so we don't end up in the emergency room. Thanks! notwendy gmail

  276. This summer will be a quiet one, spent mainly at home in the garden. But we will go out on day adventures, my son wants to go to the cheese factory again (Cheddar caves!), maybe we'll even go to the Jurassic coast, fossil hunting.

  277. We don't usually do much that's exciting in the summer but this year we are doing something very exciting. We are going to Alaska for two weeks! I can't wait!
    Thanks for the chance!

  283. We like to try something new during the summer ! We take a different route to somewhere, follow the signs for a historical landmark or indulge our whim to stop at a random pie stand.

    Reply

  288. I like being with our 5 year old grandson. We generally get him for 3-4 weeks each summer and we take him to do fun things and then I make him memory books to cherish the rest of his life. He looks forward to the memory books arriving in the mail and then he tells his mom all about each photo and what we did. Spending time with him is PRICELESS of course.

  296. In summer we love to visit new cities and see every corner and tasting their food ,beaches,ride bicycle ,craft and fair.

  299. I like to find new places to visit, mostly local or day trip distance. Historical landmarks, battlefields and museums are always fun. But more important than where or what is who I get to do it with!

  302. I am committing to being a Hands Free mom this summer and I think that is going to be an adventure enough. Of course, we are making a trip to San Antonio to be tourists this year so maybe that will be an adventurre too.

  308. My daughter and I do an old fashion road trip, we take side roads and stop at anyplace that looks interesting and that usually means odd or weird, it's so much fun and the memories are wonderful.

  318. Summer we usually stay home mostly due to 100+ temps:( Spring And Fall Are Our Antique And QUILT Shop drives. So much fun!

    Reply

  327. We like to do house swaps in nearby cities. We live in a lovely rural area so this usually works out great for everyone.

    Reply

  331. Road trips! I love the excitement of a good road trip. Especially if your lucky enough not to have any kind of schedule. Stop when you want, go where you want……freedom!

    Reply

  332. I was really going to say, that just getting out of bed in the morning is an adventure, but had second thoughts about that one, so I guess, planting my veggie garden, along with making up hanging baskets and potting plants, going to flea markets, estate sales, garage sales and craft shows, is about as good as it gets at our age! Thanks for the giveaway.

In the summer time I am open to wherever my grandchildren want to go next – sometimes it is to the beach to beachcomb and Tess loves to explore rock pools – for ages. They always have interesting new places they want to go.We live among the Gulf Islands of British Columbia and my husband and I like to go to a different one or two each year to discover quilt shows, or cheese farms, or wineries.

Not only is the water a lot more cooler and shadier areas – but there is only us and the occasional cow that comes down for a drink. Our own little piece of paradise.

  846. We love camping. It's been a few years due to pregnancies/babies, and I doubt we'll get to it this year (I was planning it, but it's not gonna work out like I wanted it to). But we love it. And the kids get gloriously dirty, which is hilarious.
