It’s time to vote and enter the give-away for this week’s Quilters’ Show & Tell event. This week’s theme is Flower Garden quilts.

We have one guest judge this week, Sandi from A Legacy of Stitches. Sandi has 100 bonus points that she’ll assign to four (or less) of her favourite quilts.

Give-Away from Vicki Welsh Hand Dyed Fabrics

Here in Virginia, Spring has been slow to arrive this year but it was finally warm enough to plant the vegetable garden 2 weeks ago and my first iris blooms appeared this week. The timing of the Flower Garden theme couldn’t have been better timed. In fact my current hand dyed fabric palette is inspired by the colors of Spring.

There’s a Stash Pack

The Thrive gradient

And the Abundance gradient

All of these fabrics are currently on sale in my shop. In addition, Quilting Gallery readers can receive free shipping on US domestic orders over $40 with the coupon code FLOWERS. International customers can put the code in the comments section to receive $5 off orders over $40. You’ll find lots of fabric to choose from in the shop.

You can keep up with everything happening in my shop by subscribing to my free newsletter. As an added bonus, 5 newsletter subscribers win free hand dyed fabric each month.

The winners from the Quilters’ Show & Tell submissions and the give-away below will each receive their choice of a Stash Pack from my shop. The quilter that wins will also receive a 2.5 yard package of Mistyfuse fusible web.

Each Wednesday, I share a Quilters’ Coupon with you from one of our favourite online retailers.

New Classes from Craftsy

I have two new classes from Craftsy to share with you this week.

The first one is from Joe Cunningham, a quilter I’ve admired for years. His class is Pattern-Free Quiltmaking. Combine spontaneous design with traditional techniques for bold quilts that are all your own.

The second class is from Nancy Smith called Strip Your Stash. This sounds like lots of fun to use up the never-ending scraps. Learn how to sew strips using leftover fabric and make a number of fun projects with it.

If you’re a retailer and would like to offer a weekly coupon, please send me an email to discuss.
