I am very excited and it was very unexpected due to all the wonderful submissions. I won second place in voting with This n That Fabrics what a great end to 2012. I won a years subscription to The Quilt Show and a $25 dollar certificate for This n That Fabrics I already redeemed my subscription and already spent my certificate. This n That Fabrics currently has fabrics on sale for 2.79 a yard which is a great deal for me! so I picked some choicy reproductions.
Thank you to all that voted for me and also to This n That Fabrics.
I would like to pay it forward in redeeming my membership with The Quilt Show I have a gift certificate for a friend for 6months membership. I will do a giveaway with this certificate. I would like you to post any comment you like about quilting, that is it no other tricks needed. If you have a tip, or a favorite pattern, or a favorite technique or what you are currently working on post it I would love to know and I am sure others would. The only thing is I will need to email you if you are a winner so contact information is important.
The draw will be Sat Jan 12, 2013 this way those that follow but are currently busy with Christmas celebrations and then catching up in blogland will have a chance. I think that is fair.
I want to thank those that follow me I hope you have a great year for 2013.
I guess you would like to see the quilt that won 2nd place (believe me I am very proud) it was a New Years Eve mystery quilt from a Yahoo group.
Check out ThisnThat`s Blog and you will see it there. I am sure you all know the first place winner which is so justified cause it is my favorite too, and my favorite designers suggestive pattern she used. Carrie P. she has a fabulous blog to follow with lots of gorgeous eye candy especially if you are an applique fan like I am.
I thought since I am in a Winter White exchange I would post my Winter Wonderland quilt. It is all hand quilted machine pieced I made this about 10 years ago hard to believe time has gone by that fast!! I hope you can see the quilting when you click on it. I just tried it and you really can`t but it is tilting evergreens in the big spaces and then lines every 1in in the triangles and all the way around the boarders.
Good luck on the draw looking forward to your comments.
Your quilt is beautiful......a win well deserved!

Congratulations, Debra! It's always nice to have a win. Please leave my name out of your draw, though, I am already a TQS member. The membership has been well worth it!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt too! I like the neutral colors!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt! Congratulations - well deserved.

Congrats! definitely don't add my name to the giveaway. That is a great idea to pass the quilt show gift along. I might do the same because a friend just gave me a 6 month membership for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win! The quilt is beautiful. I love the fabric! I have never quilted anything before, but I have always wanted to learn. Maybe I could learn a thing or two?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your win! Nice way to end the year.
ReplyDeleteI have a tip! I mounted a curtain rod (or 2) high on the wall in my quilt room. I use bungie cords of different lengths to hang my quilts and sometimes WIPs. Easy to change.
Happy New Year. Barb shades@shaw.ca
Congratulations! What a beautiful quilt! I'll be joining you in the Winter White exchange!
ReplyDeleteHey Deb - Congrats on the win!
ReplyDeleteTell me about your Winter Wonderland quilt - it looks perfect to feature a 'can't cut it' fabric. I'll go digging around, but if you'd be willing to share the pattern name... ♥
(Don't enter me in the draw)
Congrats! What a wonderful achievement. Well deserved.
ReplyDeleteMy tip is for when making a bargello quilt. I taped bull clips (the big ones )from the top, to a metal cloths hanger. Putting tape on the flat surface, I marked each clip front and back - 1,2 and 3,4 and 5,6 etc. for all the strips of fabric needed. I hung the strips on their correct clip, two to a clip, back to back.Then I hung it in my sewing room. I was able to keep the strips straight and knew at a glance which one I needed.I could open the clip, remove a strip and reclip. Hope that makes sense.
Congrats on your win! Very exciting! Your quilt is lovely.
ReplyDeleteAlrighty!!! That's a wonderful win for a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning your quilt is beautiful.

Very deserving of that win! I think my tip will be for how to remember when to clean your machine. I only wind 5 bobbins at a time. When the 5th bobbin is done that and there are no more full ones to grab, that is the indicator that the machine needs to be cleaned. I also change my needle after 10 bobbins. After I clean my machine and wind 5 more bobbins I will put the needles beside the bobbins to let me know it is time to change it.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt and so deserving of the win! My tip is to remember when to clean your machine. I only will wind 5 bobbins. When the final bobbin is empty and there are no more to grab, that reminds me to clean my machine.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy trying my hand at all different types of techniques... more intrique
ReplyDeleteYou are so busy with so many different projects. It's a treat to come over and visit. Congrats on your win.
