The Splendid Sampler Giveaway! (((updated with winner)))

The Splendid Sampler has been going on for almost a full month!  It has been a blast making all of the beautiful blocks with such a variety of techniques.  I love looking forward to seeing what is coming up next with the Sew Along!  If you have not joined in, you are welcome hop in at any time!


I love hosting giveaways!  They are fun, exciting and JOYFUL!  When putting together this giveaway, I knew I had to include two things I had mentioned to make perfect piecing so much easier... Aurifil 50wt thread and The Clearly Perfect Angles mat by New Leaf Stitches.   I  then asked Pat Sloan if she would consider offering a charm pack of her NEW Moda line Hometown Girl and she sent TWO ( I LOVE PAT)!  This is not an "official" The Splendid Sampler Giveaway but it seemed to fit  ;o)



One winner will receive one Clearly Perfect Angles courtesy of Kari Carr from New Leaf Stitches     (thank you Kari), two FAB charm packs of Hometown Girl by Pat Sloan for Moda Fabrics and three large spools for Aurifil 50wt thread in three stunning colors!!!!

You do not have to be participating in The Splendid Sampler Sew along to enter!  You are not required to do all of the options to be entered.  Choose one or  all!  Your chances will increase with the more options you choose :o)  A random winner will be chosen by Rafflecopter and I will contact you by email on or about 16  March 2016.


Thank you everyone that participated in the FUN giveaway!  

CONGRATULATIONS to AFTON WARRICK for winning the FUN prize package!  Look for an email from me :o)

Paper Piecing!!! That's my favorite ~ everything comes out just like you want it to with paper piecing! Unless, of course you use fabric you don't like, then it's not so great. That has happened to me.

Laura said...

I love the zen of 1/4" seams and watching the blocks come together piece by piece. Also enjoy EPP. I have mixed feelings about applique as my eyes are not great for hand and I don't like the stiffness of fusible. However, I do incorporate applique as needed.

I am really enjoying the Splendid Sampler journey so far. Learning a lot of new techniques.

Kathy Nester said...

Applique is my favorite, I live the feel of fabric in my hand!

It is difficult for me to choose! I enjoy all of them! I do more piecing, but I love EPP and am still learning/improving my applique. I started out as a handstitcher, so I enjoy all of the handwork, but do end up doing more piecing by machine. Honestly, I love it all! Seems there is something to do no matter what my mood is on a given day! LOL

I have only been quilting just over a year and i like the challenges and the creativity this one has given me to make it my own colors and ideas... each person is making this challenge differently so no quilt will be the same and each quilt will be such a beautiful endeavor when it is all finished...

That is also my fave part of sewing...the piecing, whether it is for a quilt, a pouch or bag, or any quilted project. I sit at my Featherweight and think...this must be heaven! I am learning sew much from participating in the Splendid Sampler...small pieces though...someday I wish to be a grown-up piecer, just like YOU! judieharron@yahoo.com
