It is the Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway Day and I’ll be giving away some fat quarters of Bella and all four of my patterns that debuted at Fall Market: Palace Doors, Sunflower Row, Harlequin, and Fizz.

To enter, just leave a comment telling me which Holiday Bouquet print shown below is your favorite #1-5.  (I just realized the ornament print isn’t in this picture but I’ll show you all that later!)  You don’t have to be a follower but I’d love it if you would consider becoming one if you aren’t already.  Please be sure you leave me a way to contact you should you win!  Deadline is May 10th at 5 pm and this giveaway is open internationally.

And be sure to check out the Sew, Mama, Sew! blog for other great giveaways.

Happy sewing!

Today my Modern Blossoms collection is debuting on Bernina’s We All Sew blog!

Modern Blossoms was inspired by my Bella line for Blend Fabrics, but these pictures show it embroidered on Bonjour, Mon Ami, which ships this month, and I think that they work really well together.  The designs were digitized by OESD and are being marketed exclusively by Brewer Sewing. I’ll have 5 new patterns debuting at Market and all will have the option to incorporate a feature print or embroidery – should be fun!

Hope you like Modern Blossoms!

P.S.  The winner of the Michael Miller red and aqua bundle that I used for Crossroads in Modern Holiday was Rita in Alaska.  Congratulations Rita!

Today it is time to share my block on the Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Volume 7 Blog Tour!  (Check out their blog too because there are more giveaways there, in addition to the one below.)

Here is a sneak peek of  my block, “Lollipop, Lollipop!”  I pieced it in Bella right after receiving yardage this past fall from Blend Fabrics.

But now I think it might be fun to sew up a block in Holiday Bouquet…

Or maybe Bonjour, Mon Ami?

Quiltmaker’s 100 blocks Volume 7 will be on newsstands on May 7th, and Quiltmaker is allowing me to giveaway an issue!  I’m also going to throw in a beautiful fat quarter bundle of Michael Miller Red and Aqua fabrics. I used these fabrics in a quilt in Modern Holiday called Crossroads that recently put in an appearance at Quilt Con with C&T Publishing.  I’ve been cutting up and assembling bundles for giveaways at my two Schoolhouses at market and I have an extra!

(If you are at Market I’ll be doing an 11:35 Schoolhouse on Thursday with C&T Publishing to talk about Modern Holiday and another at 3:10 for Brewer Sewing to talk about Modern Quilting.  Please come visit!)

To enter leave a comment telling me which of the above versions of  “Lollipop, Lollipop” you like best.  One entry per person please and make sure to leave me a way to contact you should you win.  The deadline will be this Sunday the 5th at midnight.  Note: This giveaway is now closed.

Happy sewing!
