Giveaway Day!

Today I am participating in Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!!!

I have a great giveaway for you, but first let me tell you a little bit about me.  I have been quilting for 10 years, and this year I had a quilt at the Houston International Quilt Festival!  It was so exciting to see it there, and I plan on entering more quilts in the future.  I have been a little bit quiet on the blog front lately because of a lot of traveling, but I plan on posting more frequently again.  Soon I will have posts on Christmas gifts, a quilt pattern (hopefully in January) and some new quilts I have been working on.


Here is what I am offering for Giveaway Day... two fat quarters of Cotton + Steel and a spool of coordinating Aurifil thread! 


This giveaway is open to everyone... to enter, leave a comment on my blog and tell me if you are sewing any Christmas gifts this year and what you are making.  To get a second entry, follow my blog and come back and comment again to tell me that you are following.  

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

The comments will close Friday at midnight CST and I will draw a winner on Saturday.  Good luck! 

UPDATED TO ADD: THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED
