Friends, I have so much awesomeness to tell you about. First, my Gypsy Wife quilt pattern and fabric arrived last week, and I've even made
my February blocks for the QAL. (Also, can I just say that
Modern Quilter is maybe my new favorite online fabric etsy store? I ordered Monday around lunch and had my fabric and pattern less than 48 hours later. How does that even happen?)
Then, as if *that* wasn't enough, February=blogiversary in the HPQ world, and that means awesomeness. (It also means a giveaway, but we'll chat about that in a minute.) It's kind of hard to believe that it's been two years since I started doing this, but then I remember the quilts I was making two years ago and the loads of quilting goodness that has happened in that space, and it feels like at least ten years. I'm so happy that in two years, I've met so many awesome people, made some super cool bloggy friends, and been able to participate in this truly amazing community. Thanks for sharing it with me, and thanks for being awesome readers!
To say thank you, I'd like to give each and every one of you a kajillion dollars, but since that's not in my budget, I'll have to settle for giving away a copy of the Gypsy Wife quilt pattern because I love love love that quilt and thought you might too. To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment, and it can be about whatever, really, but if you need a topic, tell me about your favorite crafty thing you've ever made. Ever. No pressure. For me, it's my baby niece's quilt. Or my raccoon dress. I go back and forth. Followers (old and new) get a second entry because you HPQ followers are amazing, lovely people and you deserve something for putting up with my shenanigans. I am a post office whiz, and international shipping rates aren't enough to put me off, so don't let your mailing address hold you back, got it?
If you are a no-reply blogger, or you aren't sure, make sure to include
an email address in your comment. If I don't have a way to contact you,
I'll have to pick someone else, and that would be really really sad!
Frowny face! :(
I'll close the drawing on my actual blogiversary (or a close approximation since I started on February 29th). The winner will be
chosen randomly. Finally, the spoils of this giveaway are provided by me because I
heart you all so much! Good luck!
THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED. Thanks for playing along!
I'm linking up today with
Sunday Stash, hosted by Mila + Cuatro.

ReplyDeleteA few years back I made a quilt for my daughter's bed that was all about dogs- her fave. Each block had a different dog fabric center, fussy cut, and then colors that complimented that fabric... Not sure it's my absolute fave- that's like picking between the kids themselves, but I do love it. madfabriholic at gmail dot com

ReplyDeleteMy favorite is a lap quilt I made for my Dad in honor of his 90th birthday. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric you're using. That GW quilt is going to be AMAZING! Also, HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThink my favourite quilt is the one I've just finished, low volume background with bright stars popping out! I also went for an extravagant backing fabric, which gives it an extra kick. Your gypsy quilt is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI follow on bloglovin. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat pattern has been on my radar for a while now. I'd love to win a copy! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteLets see......My sister asked me years ago, "could I make a baby quilt with a t.v. theme " ? It was for a first baby with both parents both working in the industy. Eight little screens quilted with either names of shows, vcr like info with date, time, title, being baby info, etc. Ninth screen was outline of hand holding remote. A great quilt to design. My sister was thrilled with final project. New parent couldn't have been more pleased.
ReplyDeleteI follow via Bloglovin'. My favorite crafty thing....I guess that would have to be my first sewing project. It was in my Home-Ec class MANY years ago. We had to make a pillow in the shape of an animal, and I had no clue how to sew. Needless to say, that is where my love of sewing comes from, so I credit that pillow with teaching me how to sew. :) -Brittany
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the upcoming blogiversary!!! Thanks so much for being such a fun and inspiring member of this wonderful online quilting community! You go girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is amazing! Happy Blogiversary! Fun Fun Fun!
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern!
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing everyone's Gypsy Wife quilt's come along, including yours. I haven't checked out the Modern Quilter's etsy store, I'll take a look. My favourite crafty thing ever made ... can't think, aaargh need more coffee. Thanks for linking up, and I hope the next two years of blogging and crafting help you grow even more than the first two years.
ReplyDeleteYeah! Happy [early] blogoversary - I just celebrated my two year, too! As for projects, hmm, it's hard to pick favorite. I especially love the various doll quilts I've done for my kids' dollies, but I think my favorite ever was a Kaffe Fassett pattern I did in batiks years ago as a wedding gift for my ex's sister. I never took any pictures of it, and we're not close enough friends anymore to ask her to spend time on a belated photo shoot, but I noticed it in the background of a picture she recently posted on FB and thought aha! it's held up quite well for my very first big quilt : ) And lesson learned - before you gift it, take a picture!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogoversary to you! This Gypsy Wife quilt pattern is kind of epic - I've read about people making it but had no clue what it is - I love it! My favourite project ever? I don't know, I love them all, but I have my Malibu Barbie Swoon on my bed right now and it makes me smile every time I see it so I'd have to say I like it a lot! Thank you for the chance at your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI would love this pattern, I find it unique and beautiful! Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteI am a bloglovin follower!
ReplyDeleteYay for 2 great years of blogging :-) I am loving your Gypsy Wife blocks - they look amazing with the AMH fabric. Would love to win this pattern - thanks for the chance :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!!! Thanks for the chance to win this great pattern! I think my favorite quilt so far would be one I made for my 2yr olds new twin bed. The fabrics are all Anna Maria Horner which is probably why it's my favorite! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI follow you via e-mail!! Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary!! I bought this pattern for a friend and would love to have it!! i don't usually sew with the trend but i am having a hard time not catching Gypsy Wife fever with the amazing blocks that are popping up!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt!! My favorite crafty thing I ever made....there is a lot but I will go back to when it all began at age 8 or 10 not sure. I had learned to sew on my grandmothers treadle machine and had discovered fabric paint. I made a pillow for my bed that resembled a post card using fabric paint. Complete with a heart where the stamp would go, I thought I was pretty clever, all in all it was really cute.
