Congratulations to Peggy Mead for winning last week’s Miniatures quilt contest. Peggy’s Let Freedom Ring! quilt is made with 1/4″ hexagons. I can’t even imagine how difficult this quilt was to make. Thanks to everyone that entered and took the time to vote. Friday was the highest traffic day ever on the Quilting Gallery site!

This week’s contest is Watercolour Quilts and is sponsored by Patchwork Gracie Quilting Fabric & Services (a new sponsor here!). They’ve donated a $50 gift certificate for the winner to use as they wish in their online shop.

Patchwork Gracie Quilting Fabric & Services

Patchwork Gracie Quilting Fabric & Services was started by four sisters and a daughter in 2008. With over 100 years combined quilting experience, we are keeping our family quilting tradition alive through Patchwork Gracie and bringing you our favorite quilt fabrics, batiks and quilt supplies.

Our family’s creativity for quilting started as far back as our great-great grandmother growing up in Ohio. We keep the passion alive through Patchwork Gracie and have expanded from Hawaii to Oregon to Tennessee.

Bette, our longarm quilting sister, now has her own quilt shop studio built by her wonderful husband of over 25 years in the heartland of America, Tennessee. Her smoke-free studio is equipped with the lasted quilting technology including her Gammill Statler Stitcher. She provides professional longarm quilting services at competitive prices and 100% customer service guarantee.

Tammie, the daughter, has recently opened a small physical location in Kapolei, Hawaii and plans on expanding the space to allow quilter’s from the Islands to gather and share various projects. Visit our web site for more information on this location.

Our online quilting fabric store carries an extensive inventory of fabrics for quilting, batiks and quilt supplies to cater to all your quilting needs. We stock a variety of name brand, quality quilting fabric and batiks at everyday low prices and continue to bring new inventory in each month. With the stunning collection of beautiful patterns, colors and designs available, the biggest challenge will be choosing!

Look for our fabric stash-builders, scrap bags and great quilting fabric markdowns.

We are currently offering FREE shipping for all online orders through 2010 (offer does not apply to longarm quilting services).

We are offering a $50 gift certificate to this week’s winner towards any of our fabrics, batiks or notions. Here’s one of your fat quarter bundles that this week’s winner might like:

It’s Share-It Tuesday! What have you been working on?

Not much stitching going on here this week, but I did manage to finish six applique posy needle cases. One I will mail to my swap partner later today and a couple others to friends.

What about you?? What have you been working on?

Congratulations to Marika Szabóné for winning last week’s Flowers quilt contest. Thanks to everyone that entered and took the time to vote. It was a great pleasure to see so many wonderful quilts.

This week’s contest is Miniatures and is sponsored by the Fat Quarter Shop. I am a huge fan of miniature quilts made using traditional patterns.

Fat Quarter Shop

Hello once again Quilting Gallery fans!

What do you think of when someone says miniature? Whatever it is a smaller version of anything is always cuter! That brings along this week’s contest theme, miniatures. The first thought that comes to my mind when I think of miniatures is our 1900s Reproduction Fabrics at Fat Quarter Shop, especially lines like Darlene Zimmerman’s Paper Dolls, Aunt Grace Circle of Friends, and Everything But The Kitchen Sink. So let’s see what kind of miniatures you come up with!

Last week we had a special for Everything but the Kitchen Sink! Watch out for our specials and sales like that by signing up for our newsletter to stay updated! Or, “Like” us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for other easy ways to see shop updates! We have started posting weekly Facebook and Twitter specials you won’t want to miss.

Our prize for the top winner this week is a $50 gift certificate at Fat Quarter Shop! Good luck to everyone!

To enter the weekly contest, read the rules and guidelines, then submit your quilt photo by Thursday evening (EDT). Voting will start on Friday and last until Sunday night.
