The first completed quilt I made in the spring of 2005 went to this little girl. It was a Dorthy Young mystery quilt. I had lots of fun making it and I know the little girl still uses it today.
The first completed top I made was for the Hotel Man. It has Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots in it. It's called All Stars. It resides on our bed as an extra covering on the coldest winter nights.
This quilt I made just for me. I'm not a huge fan of florals and pastels, but these fabrics spoke to me. It's my Wicked Girly quilt.
This is the back of Wicked Girly! Needless to say this quilt is not on the bed when the Hotel Man is home. It is strictly for me.
Now on to Giveaway #1 - Fantastic Fabric
The package starts with these two charm square packs and two patterns.
Then I will pull a few more pieces from my fabric closet.
And then, just for fun, a few other goodies.To enter leave a comment on this post. Tell me what you would make with the charm squares and other fabric goodies you would win. Also tell me how you follow me - with Bloglines, Google Reader, on your side bar, etc.
The drawing is open until March 31, 2010. I will draw the winner on April 1, 2010. You may enter each drawing, but I will only accept one entry per person per drawing.
PS - How do you like the new look? I followed Paula's lead and played with Blogger in Draft. I like the availability to play around. I'm also adding a page of recent blog posts for each topic of the Giveaway. I have plans to expand my blog and this is the start of it. I hope you like it and I hope you keep reading even though I may not write about quilting all the time.
Happy Sewing!

oohhh... I'm first!! I love those charm packs. I would make a couple more baby quilts like the one I posted tonight. I could then have a stash of them for when the babies come...
Love the new pink look to the blog..
I follow on google-reader.
Looks like you have a 'history' of great quilts. Love the new blog look. I think I'd give the Schnibbles pattern a try with the charm pack on the right, not sure about the Summer in the City.
This is a great idea!!! I love it! I would incorporate the fabric into a "Welcome Baby" package that I put together for all of the ladies I know when they have a new addition. The packages come with a quilt, either a handmade stuffed animal or homemade soft block toy, and a coordinating homemade diaper bag. The pinky-salmon is a great spring color for your page.
You have great ideas and inspire me alot. Thank You!
(I follow you on blogger)
I would try the Schnibbles pattern as I have been seeing them all over blogland!
I like the new look and I follow you on my sidebar :)
GREAT give-away! Love your quilts. Especially your girlie quilt!
I would make a quilt and let it be the first one that I quilt. Have made quilts but have only tied them. Would love to do a machine and hand quilted ones.
I follow you thru If You Do Stuff, Stuff gets Done!
I think I would make bags from the charm squares. I follow you both as a new follower but have had you on my google reader for a long time.
Nice Paula! I like the new look.
Nice prizes too! I'd love to win the charm packs...love Urban Chiks and Basic Grey! I would use them either in bags - you know I love making and using bags- or to make table runners or charity quilts. I can always find places to donate quilts!
I follow you on my blogger dashboard, so I guess that's in google reader.
Stay dry!

Love the layout. I follow you on Google reader. I think a new lap quilt would be the use for the giveaway.
good morning Sweet P - what a nice giveaway!
I've been wanting to make a new bag for me and a diaper bag for DD so that is I will use them, if I win.
I would make a new baby quilt. I love the spring colors in the charm pack. Also I have been wanting to do the spin city pattern. I found it interesting that you're able to keep track of your creative hours each month. I'm so sporadic I wouldn't be able to keep track. I use Google reader...love your blog. Great incentive for me!! Thanks!
What a wonderful giveaway! Those charm packs look lovely. And I LOVE Schnibbles, but don't have any patterns yet, so I would definitely make that with the packs. I use Bloglines as my feed reader. Thanks!!
Love the charm packs. I would probably make table runners or table toppers. I use Google Reader for my favorite blogs.
Ooohhh, fabric is always fun to get :cD I have been collecting charms for a while and would love to do a tumbler charm quilt one of these days, I am also do a charm version of a cathedral windows quilt where each window is unique, so charm packs would be lovely! I have you in my sidebar on my blog, and keep up with you as a follower as well.
Your blog looks great, and I look forward to visiting your blog and seeing whatever it is your blogging about...quilting or other stuff:cD

Well, I won a table runner book a while back, so that's what I would probably make with the charm packs. The patterns look oh-so cute also. I follow your blog using Bloglines.

I would make the quilt up for our new foster daughter who has had a hard life so far and is only 7

Happy Blogaversary! Doesn't time fly in blogland. Love the fabrics and those schnibbles patterns look like fun. Not sure what I would make, I would need time to look, touch and listen. Tablerunner maybe. I've been following on bloglines for...?
Great giveaway! Please count me in! I would make a table runner or bags. I follow on google.
Hmmm..what would I make. I have really been into making small quilts and wall hangings, so probably something along that line. I follow your blog through bloglines. Thanks for the great giveway and March 31 is my Dad's 88th birthday.
I'd add these to some I have and make a couple of new bags.
I'm so old school - I just added you to my favorites and visit every once in a while.
I love the Spin City Pattern so I would use the fabric for that pattern. The fabric would be lovely for a baby quilt
I follow with GFC and Google reader
Of course I would make mini quilts...my favorite thing to make!
And I would make up that Spin City jiffy quick! I've made a similar design a few times, but it's one of my all time favorite quilt blocks!
First, I love the red quilt. Gorgeous.
I'm not really sure what I'd make Right now I have a green & cream Irish Chain I'm working on, & it's been slow going. It's also just about time to clean out the "scraps" with another Crazy Quilt Blocks Quilt. Those charm packs look as if they'd make a very nice baby quilt for a little girl.

Happy Anniversary! I would make a quilted pillow top and some morsbags.
I follow you with GFC. I would make quilts with the charm squares... it's difficult to be more specific off the top of my head, but it would definitely be quilts.
