I was going to title this post, "First Giveaway of the Year," but then I realized that I had a giveaway on Monday, January 3 to promote my new pattern, A Wedding Quilt for Joseph and Annie. Well, no matter, because fate has stepped in to make giveaway #1 a segue to giveaway #2.
The purpose of today's giveaway is to introduce you to a new and wonderful sponsor, Marmalade Fabrics. This terrific online store carries many of the cottons you and I have come to love for contemporary quilting and crafting. Even better though, Tammy at Marmalde Fabrics also stocks some harder to come by, but amazingly beautiful fabrics like these organic cottons form Daisy Janie.
Here's where the segue part comes in. By way of introduction to you all, my lovely readers, Tammy is giving away a fabric/pattern treat. The pattern she's giving away is a copy of A Wedding Quilt for Joseph and Annie and 3 of the Kona cotton colors used in my sample version of the pattern. That's the pattern plus 3/4 yard pieces of Kona cotton in Mango and Coral as well as a 1/2 yard piece in Tomato.
And many of the other colors seen in the sample (sewing circle link, how about that?) are available at Marmalade Fabrics, including Orange, Ash, and Coal.
As they say in the lottery commercials, you can't win if you don't play, so leave a comment and see if today(or tomorrow) is your lucky day. I'll take comments through Sunday at 8:00pm CST and announce the winner on Monday.
Good luck!
This looks wonderful. I love Kona solids.
ReplyDeleteSolids are so amazing and important - and I just these ones! I also love the quilt!!
ReplyDeleteI am leaning more and more towards solids in contemporary quilts - just so clean and neat looking as opposed to the business of florals
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway
I love solids and they are hard to find.
ReplyDeleteI would love the get my hands on fabric and pattern. Always good to find new stockist of the all important solids.
ReplyDeleteI joined the My Sewing Room site yesterday on your recommendation, so see how influential you are?
ReplyDeleteLove to have some PUSH on moving over to solids!
I agree, solids are so difficult to find especially in this country where quilting is not so popular.
ReplyDeleteI'm not usually someone who likes to replicate patterns exactly but I'm in love with the colors you used for this pattern - may have to make the exact one! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI just organized all of my fabric - a new year's resolution - and I am really lacking in the oranges, so this would be a great boost! Happy New Year and thanks for hosting the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteOh gosh I absolutely LOVE Marmalade Fabric's site. Tammy is doing a fabulous job getting it going. And Kona solids rock!
ReplyDeleteI may have resolved not to buy any new fabric this year, but I don't remember resolving not to hope to win fabric! ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors! I've only recently come around to the value of having solids in my stash. Although I've sworn off buying fabrics this year, I've left the door slightly open to purchase solids for sashing and quilt backs.
ReplyDeleteI love the colours you used! I hope it's OK to copy??????

I love the grey solids in this quilt. It looks stunning again the brighter colors. Fabulous design!
ReplyDeleteI never seem to buy solids... When I have cash to spend on fabric, I usually over compensate and buy notng but prints! Maybe winning this giveaway would break my cycle :)
ReplyDeleteI am trying to use more solids in my work....for some reason I always lean towards the prints!
ReplyDeleteKona Coral is perhaps my favorite Kona color.
ReplyDeleteAnd interesting that you share the Albers as inspiration, as I have made two quilts that are mostly-copies of Albers art, one of a Anni textile and one of a Josef glass work.
