Back to School Giveaway!

This giveaway is now closed - Thanks for playing! 

Quilting Gallery is hosting another fabulous giveaway so get your hopping shoes on!



If you can hop in heels, you get extra points. As for me, I don't even own a pair of heels except for the heels on my boots. If I had to hop in heels...well, it would not be pretty. I can't even walk in them.

So I hope you've all cleared your calendar and precooked in order to make extra time because these giveaway parties always gather a big crowd. Lots of goodies to be had and new blogs to discover. The list of participating blogs can be found here.

I never know what to give away during these parties, but I want to give away something good...something I would want and I want some of these:


So I am giving away 1 package (50 clips) of these little red binding clips

And for a second giveaway I have 7 - 1/2 yd cuts of Amy Butler's Daisy Chain:

I bought these thinking I would use them in my Gypsy quilt, but I ended up not using them because the pretty design would get lost in the little pieces I needed to cut.

The first number I draw will have their choice between the two and the second number I draw will get the one the first winner does not choose. I will gladly ship internationally. So please be sure and let me know which is your preference in your comment.

I love replying to comments, but due to the number, I may not be able to do that, but thank you for taking the time to chime in!

No hoops to jump through. Save your energy for blog hopping. Just let me know what you are currently reading. I am a voracious reader and always love discovering new authors and titles.

This giveaway will close on September 3 at midnight EST and I will announce the winners on the morning of the 4th.

Thank you for taking the time to chime in on my giveaway, good luck and a big thanks to Quilting Gallery! If you hop over there using the link, there will be a list on Sunday with all the participants.

  1. I'm currently reading a history of sewing machines (a free book from the Smithsonian for Kindle, or available in HTML), because we all know how I really, really, love making quilts on vintage machines!

    Beautiful fabrics--and I've never tried the clips.

  13. Thanks, Karin, for the great giveaways and for pointing me in the direction of the Blog Hop Party Giveaway. Had I found this a little sooner, I would have jumped in and found something to giveaway, too. Maybe next time.

    In the meantime, I hope to get lucky and win. Whenever I am given a choice, I always choose fabric. Love the colors in the Amy Butler line. Those little clips look very handy, too.

    I am currently re-reading the Marie Bostwick "Cobbled Court Quilters" series ... http://mariebostwick.com/

    I always read a good book more than once ... :) Pat

This is the 1 book/1 community for my city this year - the university freshmen are supposed to read it, and citizens of our community read it, too. The author will be speaking ar various university and local venues at the beginning of next week.

    ReplyDelete
  37. OK, so if I win your give-away and you win mine, we're just trading notions, right? I don't have any of those clips. But I'd really prefer to have the fabric.

  134. I would pick those clips. Right now I am reading one of Karen harper's books, Down to the Bone. It is from a series of books of mysteries in the Ohio Amish area. I have read many of her books and enjoyed them all.

  135. I'd like the clips. I've been trying to find them here. I've been trying to read two old romances that I'm going to sell on Wednesday. I don't know if I'll get them read.

  136. Both giveaways have wonderful, generous prizes! I think the Amy Butler just barely edged out the clips - I would be happy with either. I just finished a mystery, Thyme of Death, by Susan Wittig Albert. It was very entertaining!

  146. Wow, I am definitely lacking in the reading department, I have so many of my quilting books and a natural and vitamin supplement book for raw food diets for dogs since I am currently training our new 8 wk old St Bernard. I have been coveting those clips for a long time and would love to get my hands on them!! Thanks so much for the opportunity and your generosity!

  149. Recently finished 2 books - Killing Lincoln for nonfiction and True Sisters by Sandy Dallas for fiction. Both were not easy reads, as both covered difficult times. But both covered topics of great importance I think. True Sisters is set in the hand cart Mormon Trail experience. Oh my!

    I love those fabric pieces. Such wonderful subtle colors.
