Blog Hop Party with Give-Aways and Freebies

If you are anticipating a Fun Friday Giveaway today, think outside the typical sewing box.  If this is your first time visiting SewCalGal, welcome.  And, if you have been here before, you probably know that I host sponsored giveaways almost every Friday. 

Today, SewCalGal is participating in the Quilter's Blog Hop Party with Give-Aways, hosted by
 Michele Foster (Quilting Gallery) .  There are over 150 bloggers participating in this party, each hosting a unique giveaway.

Blog Hop Party with Give-Aways

The complete list of participating bloggers will be available at the Quilting Gallery.  I hope you'll click on over  to get the list and visit all of the participating blogs.

As all parties need Freebies, before I share insights on my giveaway, I want to let you know about an amazing freebie opportunity.  McCalls Quilting & McCalls QuickQuilts has created an e:book called "Modern Quilt Patterns" that has three patterns.  The patterns come with easy to follow instructions with great visuals and all the projects are super cute too!   If you haven't yet downloaded your free copy of this ebook, simply click on this image and follow the steps to download your free copy.

Giveaway Time?

First, I want to thank Hoffman California Fabrics and Martingale for sponsoring this giveaway.

SewCalGal has six prizes to giveaway and is willing to ship these prizes to winners any where around the world.    Here are the prizes:


Hoffman Sushi Bundle with beautiful Hoffman Batiks and Hand Dyed fabrics for one lucky winner.

book review March-001

WINNER:  Mommarock

A Batch of QuiltSoup, by Barbara J. Jones, published by Martingale, for one lucky winner.

book review March-006

WINNER: Mare   ***passed***
                 Debra from MD

Successful Scrap Quilts from Simple Rectangles, by Judy Turner and Margaret Rolfe, published by Martingale, for one lucky winner.

Fuss-Free Machine Applique', by Lori Buhler, published by Martingale, for one lucky winner.

book review March-003


WINNER:  And Sew On

The Civil War Sewing Circle, by Kathleen Tracy, published by Martingale, for one lucky winner.

book review March-005

WINNER:  Elizabeth

Fast, Fusible, Flower Quilts, by Nancy Mahoney, published by Martingale, for one lucky winner.

book review March-002


WINNER:  Margaret


To win one of the above prizes you simply need to leave a comment on this post (and be sure I have a way to contact you - no reply bloggers not eligible.  So sad to randomly draw a winner, from those that leave a comment, to find that their settings do not allow them to be contacted.  But, I've posted about this many times and other bloggers have too, so click thru the links if you have never won a giveaway and validate your settings.

And, for those that like extra entries, to increase your odds of winning a prize, you can use this rafflecopter form.  I'll randomly pick the winners and update this post next Friday, to announce the six lucky winners.
a Rafflecopter giveaway


I'm also wanting to announce the winners from a prior giveaway, which I forgot to announce is:

619nKy+gXXL

The two lucky winners will each receive a copy of this book.  Congratulations to:
Pat 
Lori


I also want to increase awareness I try to host a sponsored giveaway every Friday (aka Fun Friday Giveaways).  And, with the help of many, I host a page on my blog labeled  "Giveaways" where you can learn about current giveaways & contests.

And, this coming weekend I'm hosting a fun celebration to recognize INTERNATIONAL Quilting Day.  Everyone is invited to join me on this weekend and we'll have a virtual quilting party on Saturday.  All participants will be eligible to win prizes sponsored by Hoffman California Fabrics and Martingale too!

Don't forget to go visit all of the blogs participating in this Blog Hop Party.  Ooodles of fun giveaways.
