The Quilt Calendar

MamaB got her calendar and loved it :) She suggested I put photos of each quilt from the calendar on my blog so I will photograph tomorrow outside (they look so much better photographed outside in natural light ( I'm becoming a BIG fan of natural light!) and will post them tomorrow. I think the quilt lovers WILL enjoy seeing the different quilts. You might want to make a trip to BAM (or wherever) and get you a copy of the calendar. I think it's a great deal.

And the WINNER IS . . .

Today was the deadline on the quilt calendar giveaway. It was a little strange what happened. I checked and double-checked and I had 6 people guessing and told everyone they could have as many as 3 guesses. Not everybody took 3 guesses. We had 13 quilts to guess from and three people guessed the same quilt so there were still two quilts left that had not been guessed. They were Frosty Friends and I Spy Squares. (Someone DID guess I Spy Hearts) My favorite was I Spy Squares because the notes inside the calendar describing this quilt (it's the month of September, by the way) say that you can't truly appreciate an "I Spy" quilt until you've seen a child play with one. A child discovers and rediscovers the hidden pictures. This version is supposed to be fast and fun to make, with scraps from over 100 different fabrics!
Anyway - since no one guessed it, my husband drew a name out of my cupped hand :) and the winner is: MamaB!!!!! Congratulations! I will get the calendar to you pronto! I think you will really enjoy it! Thanks everybody. This was more fun for me, I think, than for anyone.

Giveaway!

Do any of you buy yourself something when you're Christmas shopping? I seem to do that every year and this Quilts calendar is the item I bought myself this year. I needed a new calendar and when I was looking in BAM, I came across this one that has instructions and patterns for 13 quilts so I thought it was quite a bargain. Well, guess what? My oldest, Erin, also gave me this same calendar as one of my Christmas gifts from her! I see all these bloggers having "giveaways" so I thought that's what I would do with my extra calendar. This is how it works for all you quilt lovers out there. I will list the name of each of the 13 quilts and if you can guess which is my favorite, the calendar is yours! If there's a tie, I will just draw names. How about that? So here is the list of the 13 quilt instructions and patterns:
1. Frosty Friends Quilt
2. Solar Twist Quilt
3. Bloomin Hearts Quilt
4. A Path Less Traveled Quilt
5. Floral Fiesta Quilt
6. Butterfly Garden Quilt
7. I Spy Hearts Quilt
8. Scrappy Nine Patch Quilt
9. Sunflowers of Provence Quilt
10. I Spy Squares Quilt
11. Tahoe Retreat Quilt
12. Harlequin Carnival Quilt
13. Holiday House Wall Quilt

HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU!!
