This is the last week of the blog hop and as promised, we have some AWESOME giveaways to share!

First up, the fantastic people at Moda sent us a couple goodies to share!

2 charm packs of Chez Moi's new line Mimi

this line has a special place in my heart because 1. Chez Moi is my sister's favorite designer and 2. Jared calls my Mom "Mimi". I wish I didn't have to give these away but I will be stocking up on this line, it's so pretty, and that's how much I love my followers!

Then, they also sent a Fat 1/8th bundle of S'more Love by Eric & Julie Comstock.  This line is too cute and I love the colors!

 

 

Then, the awesome people at Dear Stella sent us this gorgeous Fat Quarter bundle of their new line Paloma.  The fabric has the cutest birds and their fabrics are so soft!! Again, I wish I could keep this for myself!

 

Ok, so for the giveaway, leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite project from our book! You can also leave a separate comment telling me you follow my blog, facebook, twitter, or instagram for extra chances! Then, hop on over to my Mom's blog for more chances to win!

 I will be choosing 2 winners and my mom will also choose 2 winners! 

 

Thanks again for a great Blog Hop and we will announce winners Monday August 12th!

Cathedral Windows Ornament Tutorial

Guest Blogger: Jill from Constantly Quilting

My mom wanted to join in on all of the Cathedral Windows fun and created a fun, quick project!  Hop on over to her blog and check out this cute ornament tutorial!  Thanks Mom for the cute idea!

As always, if you make one....or ten, because they're so fun, make sure you add it to my Flickr Group or Link up below so you will be entered in the giveaway for a chance to win a lot of awesome prizes!!

Cathedral Windows Sew-a-long PRIZES!

So now that ya'll know the basic steps to the Cathedral Windows method and practicing away to get ready for all the fun projects, I would like to announce the PRIZES up for grabs! 

First, SunFlower Quilts has donated numerous patterns from the shop!  Check out all of our patterns HERE.

Second, Fabricworm has graciously donated a fat quarter bundle of  the 100% organic fabric line it's called Mod Squad by Dan Stiles for Birch Fabrics. Details on their website HERE. It looks like a super fun fabric line!

And last but certainly not least, Fat Quarter Shop has generously donated 3-$25 gift certificates to their shop for you to buy whatever your heart desires!

Can you believe all of these prizes?!?!  I am so excited and wish that I could win myself!

Thank you so much to all of these shops for your generosity and donating fun prizes for my Cathedral Windows Sew-a-longers to have a chance to win!!

How do you win you ask, here are the details:

 You must upload a photo to my Flickr Group of any project you make from my Cathedral Windows tutorials.  Or you can link your blog post featuring the Cathedral Windows project at the bottom of that tutorials post on my blog.  It can be from any of the projects over the next week and a half and there is NO limit to how many you can upload!  So if you make 20 pillows, 10 pincushions and a pouch, then you have 33 chances to win these fabulous prizes!

You have until the end of the month (April 30th) to submit photos and the winners will be announced on May 1, 2012!

Confused on Flickr or Linking?  Here are the details:
At the top of my page there is a link for a tutorial on how to start your own Flickr under my tutorials page.  That will take you to a google document showing you step by step how to create a Flickr account and upload photos, it's super easy!  You will need to create a Flickr account in order to add photos to my Flickr Group!

If you don't want to create a Flickr account, which I highly recommend it because it's a whole new world for quilting inspiration, you can also link a blog post from your blog at the bottom of each of the Cathedral Windows tutorials.  It's easy, at the end of each tutorial post on my blog there is a button that says add your link, all you do is click on that and add your information.  You must have a blog and create a post about your Cathedral Windows projects in order to be able to link.  In your blog post, you must include either a Cathedral Windows Sew-a-long button or a link back to my blog in order to be eligible for prizes!

Good luck to everyone and I CANNOT wait to see what everyone creates!

Don't forget to grab a button for your blog!

Cathedral Windows Sew-a-long

Introducing the Cathedral Windows Sew-a-long!!

I'm sure you've noticed that I haven't posted the Cathedral Windows tutorial yet. Well, that's because I've decided to do it as a sew-a-long!  WOO HOO!  Who is with me? 

It's going to be a very informal, join whenever you want kind of sew-a-long.  I've been busy sewing the past few days and have a lot of fun cathedral windowy (is that a word?) projects to share with you!  We are for sure going to be making a pillow like the ones pictured and a pincushion with full tutorials! Please join my Flickr Group so that you can upload any photos along the way too! This is going to be so fun, I am beyond excited!

We will start next Monday, April 2, 2012.
Now grab a button and tell all of your friends!

There may even be a few prizes along the way! *wink wink* More on that to come later as well as supplies!
