Twelve Years: Happy Anniversary To Wedding Dress Blue

***NOTE: This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to the winners: Wendy, Deborah and Vicky***

Twelve years ago today the first post appeared on Wedding Dress Blue. I had no idea we would come this far and last so long. Amazing!

Thank you to all who have traveled any part of this journey with me.

So, let’s celebrate with a GIVEAWAY.

THREE lucky winners can choose between a pincushion, a quilty name tag, or a set of potholders. We can discuss colors, etc and I will make them just for you. YAY!

Leave a comment here and winners will be selected on Saturday, May 23.

Thank you gain, and good luck!

GIVEAWAY: Calling All Friends Of Flannel

***This Giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who entered and congratulations to our winner: Sandy Clarke***

Sometimes we have to look at our fabric and ask, “When will I use this?” If I don’t know the answer, then it is time for it go to someone else.

What I have here is A LOT of beautiful flannels. They fill a size LARGE Priority Mail box, pressed down hard. And they can be yours. There are three quilt kits/fabric bundles, several fat quarters and five pieces more than a half-yard.

Just leave a comment here letting me know you would like them. The giveaway closes end of the day on Saturday, January 8. If you are able to cover the postage (US $21.90) that would be appreciated.

Good luck!

String Quilt Supplies WINNER!

I wish I had more strings to share. The response was surprising.

But, there is only one winner (selected by Random Number Generator) and it is KT…the box will be heading her way on Monday.

GIVEAWAY: String Quilt Supplies

***THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICPATED***

I have a large tub (probably will fit in a size Large Priority Mail Box) of strings. Most are between 1″ and 2″ wide.

Would you like them? I’ll box them up and send them your way. US Postage included.

I have made a number of string quilts and really enjoy them. But, I have more than enough and would like to share.

The giveaway runs through Thursday, October 7. Winner notified and announced here on Friday, October 8.

Winner, Winner!

And the winner of the Safe Haven Pattern and Thimbleberries Fabric Giveaway is…..

Sherry Bobak, who wrote: Safe Haven is such a beautiful quilt. I used to have a couple of Thimbleberries books but I’m not sure where they went. I’ve always wanted to make a village type quilt with different houses, a church and barn. I tried searching for that pattern but it seems to be hard to find. Yours is very beautiful and I love the colors. Thank you for the chance to win the pattern.

Well, Sherry, your search is over. Now you just have to wait by the mailbox.

Thank you to all who entered and for your sweet comments. If we all lived close enough we could have a party, and make Safe Haven quilts together. Maybe someday…

Safe Haven Alternative Finish Celebration: GIVEAWAY!

**THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED**

Now that the Safe Haven top is complete, and I have fabric set aside for binding, I am ready to find a new home for the rest.

Leave a comment by the end of the day on Saturday, July 17, 2021 to enter for a chance to win a COMPLETE PATTERN SET and ALL THE FABRIC YOU SEE HERE. It isn’t enough the make the quilt, I’m sure, but it is a good start. You could easily add other Thimbleberries or Repro fabrics to complete the project.

I will notify and mail the prize off to the lucky winner early next week.

Enjoy!

UFO Giveaway Announcement

Last week WeddingDressBlue sponsored a 6-part giveaway of UFO projects.  So much fun!

So far have heard back from three of the winners.  It is possible, given some problems I have noticed with my e-mail lately, that the announcements to the other winners have gone to Spam Folders or something similar.  Anyway, if you are one of the other winners, or know how to get a hold of the other winners, please let me know.  If I do not hear back, I will select new winners this week and get the prizes in the mail.

UFO Giveaway #1: Dollhouse Quilt Kit.  I HAVE NOT heard yet from Collettia.

UFO Giveaway #2:  Home is Where the Heart is Quilt Kit.  I HAVE NOT heard yet from Luann Leaders.

New-FO Giveaway #3:  Patterns.  CONGRATULATIONS to Cindy.  Yours is on the way.

UFO Giveaway #4: Scraps, Blocks and Yardage.  CONGRATULATIONS to Terri.  Yours is on the way.

UFO Giveaway #5: Hoys Tree Farm Quilt Kit.  I HAVE NOT heard yet from Barbara Gaddy.

UFO Giveaway #6. Cardinal in the Pines Quilt Kit.  CONGRATULATIONS to Stitcher!

In the process of all this, I learned that MY email is sending a large number of comments to Spam since sometime about mid-November.  If you haven’t heard from me, that might be why.  I hope I have it straightened out and will be able to sit down and reply to your kind wishes next week once classes are out and I have some breathing space.  Happy Holidays!

UFO Giveaway #5: Hoys Tree Farm

**THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.  THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED.***

Recently I inherited part of a quilters stash.  Much of it was received with joy.  However, not all of it is things that I will use in the near future.  These UFO’s deserve a home where they will be loved and used.  Like YOURS!

Giveaway #5 is a Hoys Tree Farm quilt kit.  Finished size 84×96.  Appears to be a complete kit including fabric and pattern, as far as I can tell.  Many of the tree applique pieces are cut with fusible web attached and ready to go.  The fabric also appears to mostly be cut.  It is organized and labeled.  Hopefully it will still be that way when it gets to you.

If this is something you would love, please leave a comment below.  I will draw a winner Saturday, December 6.

If you can afford to help with postage, that would be great.  This should fit in a medium priority mail box, which costs $14.35.  I will get it in the mail as soon as possible after the end of the giveaway.
