The giveaway is now ended.
When you live on a small island, very kind people assume you can't always get what the rest of the quilty world gets. That is true in most respects but not when it comes to magazines.
I have no idea why but the little village store along the coast has a real Aladdin's Cave of quilting magazines. This means I now have a surplus of:
This is the magazine that has the absolutely gorgeous Marcelle Medallion pattern and appears to be sweeping quilty Flickr at the moment:
I must admit, I am sorely tempted as there are so many gorgeous variations; I particularly like this one, this one and this one. Oh, and I love the colours chosen for this one. Each one looks so different and so gorgeous.
Anyway, to get to the point.
I have THREE spare copies of the magazine to give away.
If you would like to be in with a chance please leave a comment: where in the world would you like to visit next and why?
If you're a follower, please leave an extra comment with the word SCRAPS and I'll include some scraps with the magazine as well.
I'll leave this open until Thursday 15 March at 7pm Little Island Time, after which Random Generator thingy will pick three winners.
Good luck.
I live on an island, too, though very far from yours, out in the middle of the Pacific! I've been fortunate to have traveled in both directions quite a bit, but I've never been to either London or Paris. so those are. My priority right now!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to travel to the coast as I live inland and miss the ocean.
ReplyDeleteSCRAPS make me happy, at least until they really overtake my space, which may be happening soon!
ReplyDeleteI love SCRAPS. They're so much fun to play with--especially when there someone elses. Thanks so much for the chance!
ReplyDeletei want to go to seattle! that's where my brother and his wife live, and i'm planning to move there this summer!

ReplyDeleteI would love to visit Japan someday!
ReplyDeleteI love SCRAPS! In fact, I am starting to think that I should only make scrap quilts from now on :)

ReplyDeleteScraps!!!! Oh my favorite thing in the whole quilting world - little bits of wonder! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteWe have just returned from South Africa where we were visiting our Daughter, Son-in-law and two grandchildren, so if I were able I would love to visit the Far East. Great give away, thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteScraps, well I love scraps so they would be gratefully received. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteI live in a virtual island - in the far north. There is only one "city" (30,000 people doth a city make) within a day's drive. Far different than your island though. I would love to go to Australia to visit my sister. One of these days...
ReplyDeleteSCRAPS - oh yes!
ReplyDeletei would like to go to Moscow as my son and girlfriend live there
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I'd love to take a trip to the Smoky Mountains in the eastern U.S. I visited there many years ago, but would like to go again, to see how those mountians compare to the ones I live in ... and I'd sure like to take a copy of the magazine to read on the way :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Jeanne
scraps please :))
ReplyDeleteOh, tough choice! It's not very adventurous but I'm going to pick either West Sussex or Shetland, so I can meet quilty friends! I could tour the UK (and associated islands) visiting everyone! Or, better idea, London in July, then I can meet dozens in one fell swoop!
ReplyDeleteScraps, please! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to see the Antarctic, but doubt I'll make it. I cannot imagine how beautiful it must be in person, after all the documentaries I've seen of the landscape and wildlife. Thanks for this opportunity...I had no idea that pattern had been published previously in a magazine. I'm itching to make it! SCRAPS
ReplyDeleteI would love to get back to New York City for a visit, to see old friends, meet blog-friends in person, and to see how much has changed in the 14 years since I moved from there to Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I'm saying "yes" to more scraps, but yes please. Your scraps will be very welcome to come play with my scraps!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any specific destination in mind, but anywhere will do...as long as it's WARM! I have had enough winter!
ReplyDeleteSCRAPS! I love SCRAPS!
ReplyDeleteMore than anywhere else in the world I would love to visit Iceland. After going to the cinema a few years ago to see the Sigur Ros movie 'Heima' (which I would recommend to anyone) I became completely obsessed. My dream is to hire a car and drive to all the most beautiful, remote parts of the country.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are truly gorgeous quilts. I can see why you're tempted! I would love to visit the Oregon coast--it's been way too long.
ReplyDeleteOh yes to the scraps.:)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many places abroad I would love to visit. But seeing as how I will likely never see any of them, I'll pick the one that is the most likely...the Bahamas. We're moving to Florida this month and we've been invited to take a boat ride to the Bahamas in July. I can't wait to go!
ReplyDeletewhere DO you live?? I want to come see YOU then :-) I like #3 the best I think.
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit the Netherlands, where my grandparents immigrated from. Tasting all the European foods fresh from the market vendors would be a wonderful experience!
ReplyDeleteourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
SCRAPS are to die for. You can do so much with them. Mini quilts, string quilts, it's endless!
ReplyDeleteThere are many places I would love to visit and I want always to see Australia , a friend live there and go again to France.
ReplyDeleteSCRAPS,please.Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I've always wanted to visit Greece, in particular Santorini and Mykonos. It looks so beautiful there with white washed adobe homes on the hill and the clear blue ocean waters.
ReplyDeleteI want to visit the racetrack at Death Valley (where the rocks move themselves and leave trails) because we've *finally* got a reliable vehicle with enough ground clearance again!
ReplyDeleteI want to go to New York City, it is next on my list of holidays, however I am off to various other Canadian destinations first and it will likely not be till fall that the trip can be planned. It was my Christmas present, I have all the travel books and all. Lovely give away, I too am tempted by that quilt.
ReplyDeleteI would love your scraps, of course I follow your blog.
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit Japan and visit quilters and quilt shops there. I lived in Japan 2 years after college, but that was before I learned to quilt.
ReplyDeleteScraps....
ReplyDeleteIn my dreams I would love to go to Tibet to see the Potala Palace.
ReplyDeleteAfter spring had already started early this week (or so I thought), we are having more snow today. So I would really, really like to go somewhere warm and sunny, adjacent to the sea, where the whole family could swim and relax.
ReplyDeleteI would be very grateful to win some SCRAPS!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to go to Italy! I imagine it would be so romantic to float around the city through the canals.

ReplyDeleteLondon, for my sister in laws wedding. Or Japan. I'm easy! We just need to win lotto first.

ReplyDeleteHow fun! I'd love to visit Scotland because of my ancestors.
ReplyDeleteCan one have too many scraps? No!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd follow you anywhere for some of your scraps ; )
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to win that magazine! The medallion quilt is stunning. Even though I live near a huge city I've not found that mag! I would live to visit any island about now. I'm so sick of winter and being land locked!
ReplyDeleteI'm an island dweller too! I'm actually hoping to get to the uk next year for FQR :o)
ReplyDeleteScraps!

ReplyDeleteAn easier question might be where don't I want to go! It isn't very original, but I studied French for years in school and I'd love to go to Paris.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I would love a copy, as I missed out on this one! Would love to go and see my friend in LA, but it's a 14 hour flight, so would need a bit longer than a week...one day.

ReplyDeleteI have managed to talk to her on Skype and she is confident she is getting the correct treatment so I just have to be patient and wait for news of her recovery :) in the meantime some scraps and a magazine might take my mind off of it.
