Friday Giveaway

Last Fridays winner of the batik fat quarters is Carol, who by the way, is also a knitter.  Sorry if you didn't win, maybe you will have better luck this week!  Before we get to the giveaway, I want to share with you a quilt I was working on this week.


This is a sweet sampler that a friend of mine pieced, and asked me to quilt.  You all know by know how in love I am with Angela Walters quilt style, so just in case you haven't seen enough, here are a few more quilting close ups.






The last block is three dimensional.  Just too adorable.  I wanted to make it look like the blocks and cornerstones were floating on a sea of white.  It is going to be really hard to give this one back to it's owner.

And of course, I can't forget to show you this weeks hexagon.


I just could not resist this dinosaur batik for the centre.  Check out Carla's blog for the same hexagon made with the most adorable bird fabric!

Now for the giveaway.  This week I have eight fat quarters of Moda fabric.  It is an older line by three sisters called Faded Memories.  To enter for the draw next friday, leave me a comment telling me who your favourite fabric designer is.

    I don't have a favorite fabric designer yet. But my wife sure does. She has had me make her quilts out of Twirl and out of Amelia both are me and my sister designs.

    The quilt is lovely, and your quilting just makes it!

    My favourite designer changes quite regularly, but today, I'd have to say Bonnie and Camille.

    I'd be hard pressed to pick just one, but I love nearly everything I've seen by Pat Bravo, Tula Pink and Anna Maria Horner. But I could go on, and on, and on, too. :)
