Quilting Gallery - 2012 Blog Hop

Have you been to the Quilting Gallery? I joined last year and have had so much fun! I did an Easter quilted basket swap, a Christmas quilt-a-long, and was a featured designer. If you have any interest at all in quilting, you have to check them out!

This month they are doing a blog hop and I am of course participating! The best part? Every blogger is having a give-away! That's right!! Last time I checked I think they were up to 150+ bloggers all with fabulous giveaways! Crazy goodness..

Since I first joined Quilting Gallery, my style has evolved and I'm so happy that I have now found my quilting voice. I'm now dedicated to art quilts in my profession, though I do create a number of  lap quilts for family and friends. In 2013 my blog will be focused on exploring silk paints, silk applique, and a multitude of collage art quilt themes. If you would like to see more of my work, jump on over to my gallery. I would love to stay connected with you, please feel free to sign up as a blog follower!

Now what is my giveaway that I've been mentioning? A random, lucky winner will receive a fat quarter pack of Lori Holt's Daisy Cottage for Riley Blake. I love this line and have used it with a number of projects for my girls.

What do you have to do? Just leave a comment on this post anytime by midnight (MST) Monday, December 17th.

I will post the winner's name on Tuesday the 18th and ship out the gift that week.

And yes this giveaway is open to International readers!

In your comment, please leave an email to contact you.

Best of luck and enjoy the rest of the blog hop!

Thank you to everyone that stopped by the blog and entered for Ebony's amazing book, "The Big Little Book of Fabric Die-Cutting Tips". 

And the winner is...

Alyce @ Blossom Heart Quilts said...

A die cutter is on my quilting wishlist!! I'd love to make an equilateral triangles or tumbler block quilt.

The Guide You Need To Get

Before I get into why you really need to buy this book, I wanted to give you  my personal history in relation to die cutting fabric and my friendship with Ebony.

Two years ago I really wanted a die cutting machine. I searched, I read, I analyzed. I worried about investing too much into a tool that I wouldn't use a lot and I also worried that if I bought too small a machine, that I would be upgrading within the year. The information I had to go on was supplied by the different manufactures and blog reviews. I finally purchased the AccuQuilt Studio; a couple months later I also purchased the Sizzix Big Shot.

It would seem that die cutting is intuitive, right? You place the fabric on your machine, roll it through and end up with perfectly cut shapes for quilting. However fabric is not like paper. You can have issues with the grain, with the bias, and with how you place it on the die. To be honest, die cutting can be fast and effective, but you need much more instruction than what comes with any of the machines.

After a few bouts of frustration and ruined fabric, I joined the AccuQuilt Yahoo group to learn more tips. At that time I met Ebony Love. Oh my goodness, what a wealth of knowledge! I learned so much from her experiences. Then I learned about her YouTube videos and was awe struck! Honestly, whenever I use a new die, I first go to Ebony to see if she has already created a video about it.

This past year I learned that Ebony was creating a book with all that amazing knowledge on die cutting. Her book, "The Big Little Book of Fabric Die Cutting Tips", is the book I wish I had a little over two years ago. It will help you determine which machine is best for you, how to use the machine and more. I'm eagerly awaiting my copy later this month and I'm planning on keeping it with my dies for quick access.

Why should you buy this book?
1.) It will help you determine which machine will rock your world.
2.) It will help you to understand how to use different dies in different machines.
3.) You will learn tips on how to correctly cut fabric without costly mishaps.
4.) Lots of amazing quilting tips and tricks.
5.) Tips on all the consumables used with die cutting machines.

I want you to have this book so much that I'm giving one away! The book is scheduled to ship in early November.

How to enter?
Leave a comment about the first project you would like to make with a die cutting machine.
You have until midnight (MST) on October 31st. Please be sure to leave your email so that I can contact you.

1 For Free & Another For a Fee - #1

As I mentioned in a previous post, I am moving my focus and

store away from photography props that are

becoming more mainstream.

I want to do things that fuel my creativity and yours.

But I've been doing this for so long that it is hard for me

to turn that part of my brain off. Soo..

I'm introducing a new series to my blog called,

"1 For Free & Another For a Fee"

I will show you a tutorial on how to make an item,

give one of them away on my Facebook page, and sell 1 in my Etsy store.

I will try to always keep them fresh and

not something you can find a gizzilion of online.

Today I'm going to show you how to make an amazing bird's nest.

Here is what you need:

* round planter liner (I used a 14" diameter)

* natural dry moss

* batting

* 1/2 yard brown fleece

*hot glue gun & lots of glue sticks

How long do you need:

1 hour

What to do:

1.) Hot glue dry moss all around outside of liner

2.) Fill liner about 1/2 way with batting.

You don't want it to the top.

We are still going to add a fleece cover

and you will want the baby to sink in it slightly.

3. Cut a very large circle of brown fleece.

You want it to be several sizes larger than the liner.

I didn't measure - just eyeball it.

Then you are going to add a line of hot glue

about 1/4" below the liner top and adhere the fleece.

Since you will have so much material,

pinch up some fabric in between your glue lines

like I did in the picture below.

4.) When you are done,

you can easily tuck in those extra pinches of fleece inside.

And that's it!

Check it out..

My baby is too big for it (she's 6 months today!!)

This is perfect for the brand new baby photo shoots.

It is super duper comfy and warm for baby,

while providing you some amazing texture for the pictures.

! It does shed - so bring your lint rollers !

I will be giving one away on my Facebook page.

Be sure to "like" it to find out the details.

And I have 1 in my shop.

I'm not making more,

so if you love it.. go grab it!

If you have questions, please let me know!

Instant Giveaway!

This week a little girl I love very much,

had a loss that has broke her heart.

I wanted very much to know that she was smiling again,

so I did what I do.

I make something.

She loves Twilight.

Like a lot.

A lot, a lot.

I hope she equally loves this Twilight blood red decal I made for her.

Do you love Twilight too?

Well..

be the first person to comment on this post and it's yours baby!

It is blood red and apx. 3" x12"

Good luck!
