Stash Note No 13 and a Giveaway

Here it comes as promised, my first ever giveaway!!!

This I am doing in honour of my one year quilt anniversary (not to be confused with blogaversery as that will only be later in the year). About a year ago around Easter time I started my first quilt.

I had taken a two week holiday and decided to spend it at home, going to the theatre, cinema, exhibitions, watching endless hours of recorded television and roaming around Soho. I think I love a staycation these days as much as going away. I've travelled a fair bit over the past 20 years but sometimes I am just content to stay at home. So I went to the Quilt exhibition at the V&A that was on at the time and I obviously loved it as it was fantastic. After that visit I went straight to my local quilt shop Tikki Ltd. and squeezed all the knowledge out from Tina the owner I could possibly do without being to rude, bought a whole bunch of Kaffe Fassett and Philip Jacobs fabrics and started sewing. Little did I know that a year later I was still sewing, got totally obsessed and had finished 12 quilts and various bags and garment pieces.

So in honour of that I am giving away a fat quarter set of the entire new Denyse Schmidt range 'Picnic and Fairground' that I purchased when I was in the US plus two coordinating solids I added myself.
Trust me it is a great range and full of bold colours that are just perfect for this time of the year.





These are the rules of engagement:

  • To qualify you need to leave me two comments in total
  • One comment to tell me where you are going in holiday next AND that you are now a follower or are following already
  • One comment to tell me that you promoted this giveaway on your blog/flickr/facebook/tweed/ local paper/church........you get my drift...I want exposure !
  • Everybody is welcome to participate, nationals, internationals and extraterrestrials (also watermelons !)
  • The Giveaway will be open for an entire week until Saturday the 14th of May 
  • The winner will be announced on the 15th of May 
I think that's it......enjoy !

    That V&A exhibition has a lot to answer for!

    I am a follower; and if you want a peaceful holiday avoid following me and the family to the Weymouth area this summer! I will be tempted to leave the kids at Monkey World!

    Will blog (in teeny tiny writing) tomorrow and come back for my second chance!

    Thank you x

    Wow Judith you have only been quilting such a short time - only a year now - you remind me a lot of me - my family say - what did you do before quilting and I haven't got a clue! Anyway, we're going to have three weeks in a villa with pool in Portugal - perfect when you have four kids - and I will take a number of hand sewing projects with me of course. I don't know whether I formally followed you or not so will click to follow after I've left this message. This is a totally fabulous giveaway BTW - make sure you also advertise it in Brit Quilt and feel free to post it in Lily's Quilts too. A lot of the big swaps also have giveaway threads, as do groups like Fresh Modern quilts. I also usually post my giveaways on a site called "Quilty Giveaways" - new giveaways posts open each Monday. Good Luck with this!

    What a seriously fabulous giveaway specially for those of us (me! me!) who cannot get their greedy little paws on this because we haven't got Jo-Ann's in the UK.
    I don't qualify as a watermelon (more of an Apple) or extraterrestrial but, hey...anything goes.

We're in the north and going to Limburg which is in the south. Holland being so very very small that you hit another country if you travel 2 hours east you're in germany or 3 hours south and you're in belgium. I have seen both those countries, but never seen Limburg which is in my own country. Oh and as said i am a follower!
