It's May Giveaway Day
I am, I'm sure , one of hundreds participating in Sew Mama Sew's May Giveaway Day. I found so many great blogs last time and it's so fun to see what everyone's giving away. I'm starting to accumulate quite a large collection of quilts and since I have a small addiction to joining swaps, quilting bees and quilt a longs, I'm pretty sure it's only going to get larger. So I'm giving away one of my favorite quilts. It's my String X quilt made with some of my favorite scraps. I took the quilt down to the beach today with my niece to get pictures but the wind was not cooperating. Since I dragged the poor girl down there to hold the quilt, I couldn't NOT use the pictures.
Here's a close-up of the quilt.

OMG - you're giving away a favorite quilt! That's awesome ... I don't know if I could do it, so kudos to you! It's beautiful. I promise it would be well-loved in my home.
ReplyDeleteYou're GIVING AWAY a quilt? Oh my. And it's a beautiful one at that. It will be treasured, wherever it goes. I love the pics too. If only the beach came with the quilt! ;-)
ReplyDeletei too promise that if i win your quilt it will be much loved and well taken care of. I think giving away a quilt would be so difficult, but it makes sense to send it to a new home if you have so many and are planning on making more =)

ReplyDeletewhat a generous giveaway!! that's so amazing! Thank you for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteJoin my giveaway too.
So generous! I can't believe you'd give up such a beautiful creation! I so wish I was brave enough to cut into my fabric to make a quilt. I would definitely love and take care of it as I did with my great great grandmother's handmade quilt when I was younger (mom has it now). And my b-day is June 1st and this would be the bestest present!
ReplyDeletegalaxie_bleu@yahoo.com
Why would you give up something that beautiful? That is so generous and sweet of you!!!! If I would win it, I would never let it go and promise to cherish it.
ReplyDeleteI was working on my first (and last) quilt about 2 years ago. And though it was just a simple one it took me forever to get it done. Now, your quilt must have taken you lots and lots of time, energy and love to get it done. It must be very hard for you to give it up...
What a beautiful quilt! Amazing that you are willing to part with it. I would love to win such a beautiful piece...even if it DID have a little sand in it!!lol
ReplyDeleteGreat Giveaway-- love the quilt!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Count me in!
ReplyDeleteYour String X is just beautiful! I would feel honored to win - I promise if you pick my number I'll smoosh it regularly.
ReplyDeleteWow ~ This is absolutely gorgeous! I promise to take the best care of it, it is unbelievable - I can see why it is your favorite! Thank you so much for your generosity, this truly is a work of art ~ I hope to someday be that talented!
