Welcome to the Spring Theme Blog Hop

While Spring may not yet have arrived for you, it just seemed like this was a good time for a Spring Theme blog hop.  I hope you will hop to it and find joy, inspiration and fun by visiting each blog in the hop.  We hope to get you inspired about Spring, and share with you some of our spring theme projects that we've made with AccuQuilt products.  You may find some tips, tutorials, and giveaways in this hop too!


I love the ease, speed and accuracy of how AccuQuilt helped me to make this spring theme quilt top.  Although, I must confess I had hoped to have had time to do some threadplay on it and finish quilting it before this blog hop.  Will you accept the fact I've been busy (Golden Quilter Awards?)?   Please pretend this is a finished project, but I still love it just the same.

Prize #1  Is a "kit" to make this wallhanging quilt top (backing, borders, binding, and pre-cut applique in a variety of fabrics that will allow you to create this project and probably embellish other projects too).  To clarify, I'm including more applique cutouts so that you can have the flexibility of colors and dies, to create your own unique spring theme wallhanging.

Prize #2 is a gift certificate for $25 good for purchase for items from AccuQuilt.  I must confess this is a re-gift as I previously won this gift certificate. While there are oodles of items that I'd like to redeem it for, I wanted to hear the excitement of someone else winning it and hopefully seeing what they create with what they get from AccuQuilt with this gift certificate!  To clarify, you could use this $25 gift certificate towards buying any Accuquilt product they have online, or buying something that is less than $25 and you essentially get it for free.  It is a $25 gift certificate that allows you to get what ever your heart desires. 

If you are interested in winning this kit, simply leave a comment on this post.  While it only takes one entry to win, if you want extra entries please leave an extra comment on this post for any/all of the following:

1) visit all the blogs in this blog hop, leave a comment on their blog, on their respective day of the hop, and follow them.

2) If you are a member of the Team of Bloggers that love AccuQuilt products, have an old or new badge on your blog, and are listed as a team member on the right hand column of this blog, leave a comment for an extra entry.

3)  If you are a Quilter that loves modern tools, are listed on the page for this group, and have a badge on your blog, leave a comment for an extra entry.

4) Sign up for my email list, where I try to not send out emails more than once per month, for any email category you may sign up for (e.g. General, AccuQuilt, etc.).  It has been a good way for bloggers with AccuQuilt products to hear about upcoming events this community is working on.  And our next event has a patriotic theme.  Unfortunately some of these bloggers are not on this mailing list, so have not heard about some amazing opportunities, advance notice to participate in various events, or other insights.  Thus, I decided to test the waters with this extra entry. But it truly isn't my objective to grow my mailing list, as much as be able to reach those Bloggers with AccuQuilt products that have a badge on their blog.  To clarify, you need not have an AccuQuilt to sign up for the mailing lists' "general" category.

Update:  You need not own an AccuQuilt product to enter this giveaway.  And if you have a preference in winning prize #1 or #2 please clarify when leaving a comment.


Deadline to enter this giveaway:  April 17th midnight PST.  {note: any participant in the blog hop this week that has a giveaway will set their own deadline}.
