Sew Mama Sew May Giveaway Day

Welcome to Sew Mama Sew’s Giveaway Day for May 2015! (This contest has ended. Our winner is Tamie Herin.)

Today I am participating in Sew Mama Sew’s Giveaway Day for the second time. I have been a long  time follower and reader of Sew Mama Sew’s blog. It is a wonderful source of the lastest and greatest of sewing and crafting. I love seeing all the new tutorials and meeting new designers and reading their blogs.

For those of you who maybe new here today, I am Shelley, The Carpenter’s Daughter and I have been quilting on and off for over 20 years and started this blog back in July of last year. I make alot of my quilts as gifts for graduations, birthdays, anniversaries and weddings. I have been fortunate to be able to pattern test for some great quilt designers in the last year. I have learned a lot of new techniques and had a lot of fun along the way.

Here is a photo of one of my current work in progress:

Mod Gears quarrter of blocks

(Mod Gears by Don’t Call Me Betsy. It will be a baby quilt for friends who love Harley motorcycles. )

Up for grabs today, I am offering three fun charm packs of fabric and a set of 3 quilt patterns from Meadow Mist Designs. Cheryl Brickey with Meadow Mist Designs is donating a set of 3 of her patterns for my contest, (the winner’s choice from any on her website.)

Cotton and Steel Basics SMSGD

To enter this contest, please leave a comment telling what quilt pattern or design is or has been your favorite to create? (I am obsessed with all plus and cross quilt patterns and am currently working on a tremendous amount of half square triangles.)

For old and new followers of my blog, you can get another entry in the contest by leaving me a comment on how you follow my blog. There are links on the front page to email, Bloglovin or Facebook.

Please leave your email, if you are a non blogger so we have a way to get in contact with you.

This contest is open to both US and Overseas. The contest will be open through May 1oth. And the winner will be drawn by May 12th.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Sewing,

Shelley

    Thank you for such a generous giveaway! I seldom make the same thing twice, but I’ve really enjoyed making Lady Harvatine’s January blocks into pillows. It does produce some waste, unfortunately, but the results are worth it — and I really hate to waste fabric!

    I’m new to quilting so I’m just doing super easy beginner stuff still. I made a jelly roll race quilt top which was super easy and fun. I also made a quilt top using one layer cake. Next up I’ll be doing an easy quilt as you go QUILT. I’m nervous about it but I know it’s within my skill set.

    My favorite quilt pattern, so far, is the Applelicious quilt from “Quilty Fun.” It was so much fun to see those little apples come together!

    I’m really brand new to sewing, but have figured out (through hours and hours of Pinterest) that I’m not a pattern girl. My quilts will probably always be very boxy and geometric.

    My favorite pattern is always the one I’m working on at the moment. I don’t like to repeat myself, so I don’t want to go back and do one over again. I will say that I love HSTs, pinwheels, and star blocks of all kinds. And I would like to do more paper piecing.

    Favorite pattern… that is a hard one.I haven’t done any ‘plus’ quilts yet, the closest thing to it was the Basket Lattice quilt by Sheri Pape. Her website is terrible, but here is a picture I dug up on pinterest… I am not sure this one really counts as a favorite, but I did like it and am considering making it a second time.

    I think I never stuck to one single block for a whole quilt and liked the result … well ok one, but that’s not done yet (well the back and batting etc. needs still to be done) – scrappy 9-patches + economy blocks in solids … I really like how it turned out.

    I favor stars..Ohio Star and Lone Star mainly. So much you can do just by changing the colors. Look at one block and you see a star, look at the area they join together and a total different design appears…but still the stars!

    I actually don’t get to quilt often, but the favorites I’ve made are the one I made from hand-dyed fabrics for a fiber art class in college (most fun class ever) and finishing a couple of my grandmother’s hand-stitched quilts that she wasn’t able to complete before she passed.
