Christmas Gifts for Quilters
<div align="center"><a href="http://lilysquilts.blogspot.com/2011/09/christmas-is-coming.html" title="Christmas Gifts for Quilters"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6176/6213980856_a52f333b9e_o.jpg" alt="Christmas Gifts for Quilters" style="border:none;" /></a></div>

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.



And this week, some suggestions for the quilter who has everything.  Even if the quilter in your life has these things, he or she will not complain at getting more of them.  Yes, I am talking about the king of the stash, the Kona solids!

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).

  17. I would say the love you forever is not that much of an exaggeration. I think someone would have to do a lot after gifting one of these boxes to get in the bad book again :)

    As to favourite colour, is there such a possibility? Maybe you meant a favourite colourWAY? Mine would be the deep red wine one. Or maybe the purples. With the blues following in behind, and the greens aren't bad.... Lol.
