Christmas Gifts for Quilters 6 (+giveaway)

So, once again, here is a button you can grab for your blog.  The button links back to the original intro post for this series and, over time, that post will link to all the subsequent posts in the series so just leave the button lying around when friends and relatives are around and hope that they click through and get some great ideas of what to get you for Christmas.  And just in case none of your relatives are showing any interest in any of these great ideas, there's a giveaway at the end of the post.

Christmas Gifts for Quilters

The winner of the Hurricane FQ solid bundle from Alice at Backstitch is:


 And she has chosen the beautiful Sea bundle:


Now this week's suggested Christmas present for any quilter friend of yours will come as no surprise.  How about a year's subscription to the wonderful e-zine Fat Quarterly.  Do you know Fat Quarterly?  When I was in the infancy of my quilting last year, I started to notice sneaky little pictures coming up on Flickr of projects that were going into a new modern quilting e-zine.



The contributors were a gang of the cool kids on the block of modern quilting.  That team has changed over time and now consists of John, Katy, Tacha, Brioni and now ... drum roll ... me.


The e-zine comes out quarterly and there is usually an annual bonus issue for subscribers too.  It is packed full of projects, ideas, tutorials, information, challenges, interviews and is fun, informative and inspiring.  To my mind there is not another quilting magazine out there yet that comes close to how current, modern and inspirational this magazine is.  Issues can be bought from the Fat Quarterly website where you can also buy an annual subscription.  The e-zine is then delivered straight to your in-box to be read from your computer, laptop, iPad or, if you prefer to read it the old fashioned way (I know I do), you can of course print it out.


And so I am giving away today one annual subscription to Fat Quarterly and the winner will be drawn this time next week (16 November).  To be in with a chance of winning:

1.   Comment to say you follow this blog.
2.   Spread the word about the giveaway - facebook, blog, twitter etc.
3.   And an additional chance to enter for bloggers, Grab the button and put it on your blog:

    I have been considering subscribing but I'd stopped buying magazines as they were so repetitive and didn't do much for modern quilting fads - I may have to now reconsider

  84. I'm a follower. I've been intrigued with FQ but have never experienced anything less than a physical magazine and so have felt uncertain as to how happy I'd be with an electronic one. I'm not keen on printing out a whole magazine. I like reading in bed and since I don't have an iPad ... well ... let's say I'd love to win so I can see if the format works for me.
