My Birthday Giveaway






















Ok.  I must confess, this isn't my birthday.  But it is a birthday present that I received, and while I love it, I realize I'm not going to be able to quilt it for a very long time.  Simply too many UFOs and other projects in the que.  Thus, I want to give this to someone that will appreciate it and be able to make a beautiful quilt, long before I could.  So, this is what I'm giving away:



















Includes a lovely collection of coordinated fabrics.




















Large panel includes many cute quotes that could be used for mini blocks in your quilt (or keep as full size panel).




















AND, this panel has been signed by Mary Engelbreit!  Yes, this giveaway is a collection of beautiful Mary Engelbreit fabrics.

Technically, all you need to do is leave a comment to enter this giveaway.  Any comment will do. 

IF, you really, really, really want to win, here are some optional ways you can get extra points, but be sure to leave a comment for each:

1) If you are a follower of  this blog.

2) If you are a follower of SewCalGal on Facebook.

3) Post an article on your blog about this giveaway.  Just be sure to include a link to your post (not just your blog) when you leave a comment.

4) IF you have previously posted an article on your blog about my upcoming Pets On Quilt Show, you are eligible to get an extra entry.  Just leave a link to your post, when you leave a comment.  And thank you.  You'll also receive an extra entry in any giveaway in August!  Sorry...for those getting this extra entry, it needs to be a "post" (not just a badge on display) and it needs to be a post dated prior to today.

5) IF you are a member of the Charming Girls Club, leave a link to a post you've written with insights on this club.  I'm new to this club, and while I've been reading many blogs from members, I suspect I have not read every post.

6)  IF you are a member of Bloggers with AccuQuilts, and have a badge displayed on your blog, leave a link to your blog when you leave a comment for this entry.  And, thank you!

OK, if you feel like you really want to earn an extra point, here is my last option.

7) Tell me about the little girl that you'd like to win this fabric and make it into a quilt for....or if you want to make it for the little girl in you, that is fine too!

Note:  Anyone that has a no reply setting, Anonymous posts that do not leave email, anyone that I can not contact if they win, will be disqualified.  Sorry.    If you are uncertain, read http://tinyurl.com/352uudf and at the bottom half of this page you'll find insights that I hope will help.

Deadline:  All entries need to be made by July 31st to count.  Winner will be announced shortly afterwards.  I'm traveling, so it may be a few days later ......


I hope you have a wonderful July!



THERE APPEARS TO BE KNOWN PROBLEMS with comments appearing.  I do receive an email for every comment and will use this as backup.  So, please do not worry if your comment does not appear.  But I am hoping Blogger will resolve this known problem ASAP.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  {as of 4:20pm PST, 7/16}

pamdux said...

I really believe that it would be a contest between my 3 grand-daughters and their other grandmother for who would be the ultimate owner of a quilt like this, oh and a daughter would also get into the act. But, maybe I would just make something for myself for a change. pamspinks.blogspot.com

I would love to make some ruffles from that lovely fabric. Can't you just see those colors dancing at the hemline?

My little girls are my granddaughters who love twirly ruffly skirts almost as much as they love glittery glue and popsicles.

Sandy said...

This is simply adorable! I would love to win it! Thanks for the opportunity!

Sandy said...

I would love to make this for my sweet niece Emily. Sadly, Aunt Sandy has been deliquent in her quilting duties since my Em is now 11 with no quilt from me. I think that she would totally love a quilt made from these fabrics!

I would make this for my grand daughter, she is the youngest and last one of our 21 grandchildren and I like to make sure she knows how special she is.

mama moose said...

What a wonderful blog!! I love the fabrics for this quilt. I really could not say if I would quilt it for the little girl in me or for my granddaughter. She is 2 1/2 years old. She carries her quilt from Nana everywhere she goes. She will need a new one soon! Can't wait to read more of your blog.

Eileen said...

signed up on your fb place--then saw the thing for the go giveaway--i've got one but would love to win one for my dear daughter.

Eileen said...

it's a hard thing to figure just one little girl i'd love those fabrics for...have four (one brand new) girlie girls (granddaughters) so would probably try to divide them between the two households in some way. just so cute and would go perfectly with my adorable girls!!!!!!!

Trish said...

What a fantastic give-away! I would love to win !!

I'm a follower already. And just a word to Pam above: I also have fibromyalgia: It does get better! And for years, I have found that quilting has helped to a great deal--I understand everything that she wrote. Things often take time; friendships are wonderful for healing, as Pam has discovered.

Kathleen C said...

I'm also a fan on facebook; and thanks for the tutorials on your blog. K.

Kathleen C said...

I know exactly who I would make this quilt for: my great niece. Her mother has always liked Mary Engelbreit, and I've been wanting to make them a quilt to share. Thanks for this opportunity.

I have the perfect "girly girl" niece who would think she had "died and gone to heaven" if I made her this quilt! Thanks for the gorgeous giveaway!

Stacey said...

Hi There, I am already a follower. That stack of stuff would be perfect for me!! I just put your give-away on my sidebar too. I miss the Mary Engelbreit magazine. I am so glad that I saved many of my magazines through the years. They always provide me with lots of inspiration. In fact, I am making a scrappy quilt with some of her fabrics right now and I could use a bit more variety to finish it up.

Happy Quilting.
Stacey

We just found out our first grandchild was conceived eleven weeks ago. By my calculations I have as good a chance as not that it's a girl. I could get a good start on her first quilt if I win.

thanks!
