The Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day

(Now closed)

Giveaways are like buses, you wait ages for one and then they all come along at once.

This time, I am joining in the fun with the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day because a) I've never done it before and b) I have another couple of jelly rolls that I know I'm never going to get around to using so I'd like someone else to put them to  good use.



First one is this:


It's Beach House by Moda and would like to make your house its new home.

Second one is this:

 

Natures Choice by April Cornell, also by Moda.


To enter, please leave a comment telling me what you like most about the quilting process (Well I'm presuming you're a quilter as there are jelly rolls involved in this giveaway). For me, it is right at the beginning, picking all the different fabrics to go together and the more colourful the better.

If you already follow and you'd like me to include some scraps from my over-flowing scrap bins, please leave a second comment saying 'scraps' so I'll know if you are interested or not.

The giveaway stays open until 16 December after which I'll use Mr Random Generator to pick TWO separate winners. Happy to ship wherever you may live.

Good luck.

Oh and click here for a linky list will be up for lots and lots of other goodies being given away.

If I still have your attention and you are new here I still have another giveaway going on here .

Finally, one space left open here as one of the respondents has gone awol already! First one to say 'yes' is in.

    I'm definitely a fan of the 2nd or 3rd step, the piecing.. i hate initially starting a project and like it more when its coming together -- binding too, because its the final touches! thanks, these jelly rolls are beautiful!

    Well that's a hard question . I would have to say the piecing and seeing it all come together. Thanks for an awesome prize : )

    my favourite step is the last step. Handsewing the binding down. I love that you get to snuggle under your almost finished quilt and you can really see how close you are to being finished :)

    My most favorite part is picking it all out and doing all the designing. Then, my second favorite thing is to do free-motion quilting on my machine. So much fun!

    I love the picking-the-design part but I really really love the putting it all together part best. Seeing it go up on the design wall (which is really the bed in the guest room) and start to have a recognizable form is so fun!

    My favourite part about quilting is finishing the final stitches of binding and giving the quilt to its new owners (or snuggling under it myself, if I'm keeping it). I really enjoy giving quilts to friends and family who understand the process that goes into making one.
    Thank you so much for this generous giveaway!

    LOVE those fabrics! My favorite part is going to the fabric store, and touching all the wonderful cottons- then looking at them again when I'm home and trying to decide what beautiful pattern I will sew them into!

    I like the feeling of completion just after I finish quilting it all together (until five seconds later when I remember “crud monkeys, I still have to do the binding!”).

    But I have to say that I like all of it *except* for basting the sandwich together.

    I'm not sure what my favourite part is as I love it all (well, except maybe ironing metres of fabric for the back and the tacking...and the hoovering that I have to do before I do the layering and tacking...maybe I could do without those steps!) but I do love playing with possible designs and fabric combinations and pondering different ideas in my head. I've really enjoyed reading what other people enjoy!

  59. quiltercaroline12 December 2011 at 18:20

    I think my favourite step is the planning - playing around with all the possibilities, not keen on cutting but also enjoy the piecing as I see my design coming to life. I have a bit of a love hate relationship with the actual quilting - I think I am too much of a perfectionist and machine quilting tends to stress me out, although when it is all done it is worth the effort as I give it to someone or snuggle up myself under it. Thanks for the giveaway. C

    I agree that the fabric selection process is my most favorite part of a quilting project. I use EQ software to "audition" fabrics for the designs that I have created, and then I take liberties in changing things as I go along if that seems appropriate.

    I really like to cut, I always cut to much, and when things are coming together. I love to sew the big blocks together. I like the quilting, hate the basting, and don't mind the binding. So too much info. Sorry. Thanks for the giveaway, those are beautiful fabrics.

    The cutting is my favorite part because I know I have a quilt ready to be made when I have time to sit and sew.Some days I'll cut-out a few different quilts/items and put in bags with pattern so that I always have a hand-piecing and sewingmachine item ready to be worked on.

    I think I agree with you, it has to be picking the fabrics and the planning. After that I start to cut and sew and that's when I start to mess it all up! At that first stage, it's still pristine!
