But before we get to that, the winner of the Fat Quarterly year's subscription has just been picked by Mr Random and notified. Congratulations to you Sana Saroti. If you weren't the winner but did enter, the latest edition came out yesterday - all about colour - and you can buy it or your very own year's subscription here.
For a small gift, Kona's charm packs come in five colourways; classic, dark, dusty, pastel and bright and you can also buy single-colour charm packs of the some of the most useful colours.
An alternative small gift of the most useful of all quilter's tools, the Kona colour card. Though you can't see it in the photo, each swatch of colour is an actual piece of fabric so you can colour match to perfection.
Want to spend a bit more? How about Kona layer cakes or jelly rolls. These come in the same colourways as the charm packs and in single colours of the some of the most useful colours.
Looking for something slightly bigger again? What about the Kona FQ bundles. These come in beautiful colour groups.
And finally, the undisputed king of any stash, the Kona Bounty of Basics Boxes. One dark, one light. Need I say more? I have no words. If you bought these for a quilter friend / relative / neighbour, they would love you forever. Well maybe that's a slight exaggeration but they'd be happy as happy can be.
To be in with a chance of winning these two boxes (yes, you heard me right, one person is going to win both of these boxes), three chances in three comments.
1. Comment to tell me what your current favourite Kona colour is.
2. Comment to say you follow this blog.
3. Comment to say you spread the word (twitter, facebook, blog etc).
Good luck and a winner will be drawn this time next week (23 November).
Right out of the box I would say Kona Stone but I'm seeing some wonderful blues here as well :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a silly question - how can I just pick one? That is why I need these boxes - but right at this minute it could be Pomegranite....or...or....
ReplyDeleteWell do I get extra chances for following your blog AND your new career in FQ!?
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Kona colour would be cornflower. Not only is it a beautiful colour but it conjures up images of wild flower meadows.
ReplyDeleteCheeky post made ;o)
ReplyDeleteI follow!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure I have a favourite Kona colour but the one I use the most is ash. I always try to have some in my stash.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to pick a fave color but right now I would say kona ash because I use it a lot for my hexagon quilt as a background fabric :)
ReplyDelete...and follow you too ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to pick just one. I'll say my favorite color is lime.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog!
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog in google reader.
ReplyDeleteI tweeted about this great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteFavorite color would have to be Cerise!!
ReplyDeletei'm new to quilting so i'm not familiar with the ridiculously large amount of kona solids. but as i flipped through the pages, i found that i really love bone, pomegranite, and honeydew. but it all depends on my project...
ReplyDeleteI would give someone's right arm for a kona colour card. I used to say that I'd never spend that much money on a swatch card but since I've been using kona more and more (yep a convert to solids!) I find it hard to keep track of which colours I've used. In fact I was thinking only last night on receipt of a new colour I should stick a swatch of it in a book with a name! My absolute favourite go to colour is Medium Grey. I'm quite a fan of Chautreuse too.
ReplyDeleteI follow!
ReplyDeletei'm a subscriber
ReplyDeleteI like gray color, it makes things look pretty. does not mean that I get to use it though. I would love to win this, I am moving this weekend, and get a sewing room this time, have a very sad stash, and hardly any solids, so I promise to give it a good home :O}
