"Flutter By Me" Kit Winners!

Gidget was mad at me because I used “True Random Number Generator” instead of her to pick the winner for the “Flutter By Me” kit...so here she is sticking her tongue out at me. Yep...this is my little brat!

The drawing was held between our two different blogs (www.quiltedquickies.blogspot.com or http://web.me.com/quiltedquickies/Site/Blog/Blog.html) and the “True Random Number Generator” chose #2.

So...the winner for placing an entry is...Joan that placed her entry at Thursday, April 22, 2010 - 03:55 AM.

The winner for a referral is...Vicky of LA Quilter.

Congrats ladies and I thank EVERYONE who participated! We will do another giveaway soon...so please stay tuned.

Well, it’s off to kit “Calendar Girl”...still waiting on trims. ETA for shipping “Calendar Girl” kits looks like the end of May for sure. Also, finishing up last minute details on our Quilted Quickies “Stash Basher’s” Quilt Retreat (click here to see last years retreat video). Our retreat dates are from May 13th -16th...we will have lots of pics and hopefully a video from our fun retreat soon.

Happy Quilting Everyone and thank again so much for stopping by. 

"Flutter By Me" Kit Giveaway

It’s time for another kit GIVEAWAY! Well, actually two! We are trying to build our visitors to our blog who leave comments. We have visitors but not many people leave comments...they must be shy ;-) This is how we will work this one...

If you leave a comment, you will be in the drawing for the giveaway. If you refer a friend to our blog, have your friend mention your first name and last name initial in their comment and that will put you in the drawing for the most referrals. So, there will be a winner for “leaving a comment” and then a winner for the “most referrals”.

“Flutter by Me” is the name of the design above. It has been one of our most popular kits. This design measures approximately 19” square. We are offering all of our wing color options for this giveaway, except the blue wing option you see pictured above but you will have all our other options if you win (orange, purple, pink, or green...all the rest stays the same). This cute design came to us via “American Quilt Retailer” magazine and was designed by Susan Fuquay.

If you don’t happen to win this one but would like to order our “Flutter by Me” kit via our web site...click here.

Thanks for playing and and helping us build our blog...we really appreciate it! Please be sure to leave your email address or email address link so we can contact you, if you are a winner. This drawing will be held between our two different blogs...you only need to sign one or the other (www.quiltedquickies.blogspot.com or http://web.me.com/quiltedquickies/Site/Blog/Blog.html)

All entries are must be in by May 4, 2010. Drawing winners will be announced on May 5, 2010 (Cinco de Mayo).

Good Luck!

Take a Peek

I have been blessed again to be featured in McCall’s Quick Quilts magazine, April/May 2010 issue. This is a “Layer Cake” friendly design or a great way use up pieces in your stash! 

I originally named this design, “Square Dance” but McCall’s renamed it “Mom’s Bouquet”. The beautiful fabrics I used are from Moda called “Eden” designed by Lila Tueller.

This is a super fast project and can be cut and sewn up in a day...REALLY! We have made up this quilt in several different fabric lines and it looks great with any fabric. Hopefully you have a subscription to McCall’s Quick Quilts but if not, this issue should be on newsstands now.

I want to thank my staff as well...Donna, thank you so much for being my “sewing angel” and always there to sew up the things I can never get to. And Janet, thank you for your beautiful machine quilting! These two ladies are the backbone of my business!!! Also a big thank you to Beth at McCall’s!

If you happen to make this quilt, please send us a photo of you and “Mom’s Bouquet” / “Square Dance” to quiltedquickies@me.com. I’d like to feature you on my blog and also Gidget will send you a quilting gift from my quilt shop. This offer is good through the end of July 2010.

Everyone's a Winner!

Good Morning...beautiful day here! Crisp 60 degrees. 

Gidget went out this morning and picked the winner of the “Gidget Gobbles” Giveaway! I placed the names on little pieces of paper and placed a “Gidget Gobble” on each of the pieces of paper and made Gidget sit until I said, “OK...GO!!” The first Gidget Gobble she picked would be the BIG winner!

However, since there were only (3) entries (between both of our blogs-blogspot and iweb), Gidget and I decided that EVERYONE WHO ENTERED WINS! The big winner is “Quilter Jan” but there are goodies for “Vicky of LA Quilter” and “Jill of Ramblings of a Fabric Obsessor” as well! So, “Gidget Gobbles” and other quilting goodies all around! I’ll be contacting you all soon for your addresses...so we can get your prizes out to you. Congrats!!!

Have a wonderful day all!!

Not Gidget but still a Cutie!!

"Gidget Gobbles" Giveaway!

We’ve been busy vending at a quilt show in Tucson and headed to another quilt show in Phoenix but wanted to stop by to say “Hi” in a quite moment. 

Janet, my shop manager, has come up with the cutest doggie gift! She’s totally an “IDEA” person. I love her...she keeps me on my toes. Janet loves to bake and makes the best goodies and shares them with everyone. Well, she always thinking of others and since Gidget is our shop mascot, Janet thought it would be nice to whip up a little something for the little Queen. I just thought this was so cute with Janet’s original drawing inspired by a photo of Gidget when in Texas. 

Janet came up with “Gidget Gobbles”. These treats look like little croutons but have a BIG flavor. All natural ingredients: wheat, corn, beef broth, and a pinch of salt. These treats have been Gidget tested and Gidget approved! Another box is being sent to my Mom’s doggies...Casey and Max!

Soooooo...Gidget wants to do a little doggie giveaway. If you are interested in receiving some “Gidget Gobbles” for your doggie, just leave a comment here on this blog entry for Gidget and the reason why your little baby would like to nibble on some of these delicious treats. Gidget will also include a gift for you, the owner, too...a little quilting something...so be sure to log your comment.

The drawing will be on Feb 1st! Good Luck to the doggie(s) and owner!
