This week, it’s Sew, Mama, Sew’s give-away days. I realize I’m a bit late to the party which started on Monday, but hopefully better late than never, right?

If you’re new to the Quilting Gallery, Welcome! In honour of our 4th birthday, I’ve also organized a Quilter’s Blog Hop Party which started last Saturday. On my give-away post for that event, Happy Birthday, Quilting Gallery! you’ll find out more about my site and several lovely prizes including Aurifil threads. You can enter both give-aways!

For this party, here’s what I have to give-away. Two charm packs of the Sonnet Collection by April Cornell for Moda Fabrics. These are 5″ squares of beautiful fall-coloured woven fabrics. Plus two lovely packages of hand-painted buttons from Incomparable Buttons.

How to Enter, How to Win!

Leave a comment below. One entry per person. Duplicate entries will be deleted. Two winners will be chosen randomly December 18th.

Answer the following: What’s your weather like? Will you have a white Christmas? Here in Ottawa, our weather has been most unusual. We’ve had about an inch of snow a few weeks ago, other than that, nothing. Mind you, I’m not complaining as I’m a sunshine, hotter the better, type!

Be sure to visit the other blogs in the Sew, Mama, Sew’s give-away days!

P.S. The give-away is open to all site visitors.

Stay in touch!

Blog Hop Party

I hope you’ve been having fun at our Blog Hop Party!

It’s the Quilting Gallery’s 4th birthday and to celebrate we’re having a HUGE party, with give-aways from quilters around the world!!

Normally, for my anniversary post, I’ll spend some time reflecting on the past year and sharing what the next year will bring. However, I haven’t had time to get this written yet. Look for this post next week.

If you’re new to the Quilting Gallery, Welcome! Here you can meet thousands of quilters from around the world in the quilting bloggers directory. Browse the quilt shop locator, a unique map-based directory of quilting retailers and professionals. Find connections in our world-wide directory of quilt guilds and search for the latest in quilting books, patterns and notions in the quilter’s market.

You’ll also find hundreds of free quilting projects, inspiring guest bloggers and charity quilting projects.

I host a weekly themed quilt contest. Vote this weekend for your favourite Christmas Table Runners or submit a photo for next week’s Christmas contest.

We just finished up the Celebrate Christmas Quilt-Along featuring 36 fabulous designers. I host swaps too; our next one will be in January.

Give-Aways!!

I have prizes to give-away from a few wonderful sponsors. There will be 13 winners selected!

Aurifil Threads

If you’re new here, you might not know that I’m a HUGE Aurifil Threads fan. I use the 50wt cotton for all of my piecing and hand appliqué work. I’ll use 50wt or 40wt for quilting and have recently fallen in love with their 12wt for machine blanket stitch appliqué.

Alex from Aurifil has donated two thread collections for the give-away. Send Aurifil some love by Liking them on Facebook. They host super fun contests and give-aways there.

Collection 1: Wild Rose by Marti Michell contains 10 small spools of 50wt thread (220 yards each).

Collection 2: Freshly Baked by Kaye England contains 10 small spools of 50wt thread (220 yards each).

Saral Wax-Free Transfer Paper

Another product I adore is Saral’s Wax-Free Transfer Paper. I use it for marking quilting and appliqué placement lines. I did a product review earlier this year. The good folks at Saral have donated 5 sampler packs.

Montana Star Quilts

Quilting friend and author Linda Parker has donated a copy of her book Montana Star Quilts. It features over 90 brilliant full-page, color photos of Indian and author-made star quilts. It also includes complete step-by-step directions for eleven original star quilts with tips to design your own.

Quilter’s Cookbook

I’ll also be donating 5 sets of the two Quilter’s Cookbooks.

Santa alert: Just $4/each! Filled with fabulous recipes, heart-warming stories and gorgeous quilts, they’d make a great gift for you and your quilting friends. Purchase them here!
