Christmas Gifts for Quilters 1 (+ giveaway)

The giveaway is now closed.

So, to kick off Christmas Gifts for Quilters, here is a button you can grab for your blog.  The button will link 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 fabulous FQ bundle giveaway at the end of this post (and hopefully all the CG4Q posts).

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>

To kick us off, I had a chat with Peg and Becca from Sew Fresh Fabrics to see what three gifts they would suggest a friend or relative of a quilter might like to give, something small, something medium and something large.  And here's what they said.  For a small gift, how about a gift certificate.  This listing is for $25 but you can buy a certificate for any amount.



For a medium gift, how about a modern stash builder bundle of oval elements 14 fat quarters.  


For a large gift how about a bundle Peg and Becca have tailor made for this post.  It's another modern stash builder: 18 half yards of their favourite dots, checks and tonals. 


And Peg and Becca have decided to give you one of their modern stash builder bundles.  They are going to give to one lucky reader a 14 FQ bundle of metro living circles.  


To enter this giveaway, you have three chances.  The giveaway will close a week today (12 October) at which point the next CG4Q post will go up and a new giveaway announced.

1.   Let me know what you would like for Christmas.
2.   Comment to say you follow this blog.  
3.   Comment to say you've spread the word about the giveaway (blog, facebook, twitter, google+ etc).

    ReplyDelete
  32. I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe some more fabric for my stash or a gift card to Amazon to buy books for my Kindle.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I want a new sewing machine. My Kenmore is fine but I want to teach my daughter to sew and, if she's sewing, I can't. So I need another one! Thanks for a great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I blogged about it at http://minimandms.blogspot.com/2011/10/giveaways.html

  57. What I'd like for Christmas? I'd like for my dysfunctional family to get together for the holidays and nobody gets their feelings hurt, nobody storms out of the house crying, nobody makes a monumental announcement that totally dumfounds all of us, and nobody gets slapped. Yep - that would probably be my Christmas wish.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  59. I would really like some fabric bundles and a few notions that I need. I'd be happy with money, though, so I can spend it! :)

    ReplyDelete

  80. All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

    ReplyDelete
  81. We have a catalog here in the states from a shop called "Hancocks of Paducah". You probably know all about it 'cause you're sharp like that. Anyway all the new Kaffe fabrics were in the most recent mailing, and I told my family I'd like a yard of each for Christmas. My husband's response was "what are you going to make with it?" Which ws a subtle dig meaning "you have too much fabric already". But that's what I REALLY want. Oh yeah, and the time to make something with it ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  82. Always a follower of yours!!

    ReplyDelete
  83. I follow you on Google Reader and get lots of inspiration from your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Santa please bring me an iPad so that I can have it next to the sewing machine for internet inspiration and tutorials.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I need the Tardis for Christmas so I can go forwards and backwards in time - that way I will be able to buy the fabric I love but didn't get around to buying before it went; be able to warn myself not to make the mistakes I'm going to make - which will save even more time for making stuff!

    What a winner - oh and I might even buy a lottery ticket to help pay for it all!

    ReplyDelete
  86. I follow - of course I do!

    ReplyDelete
  87. I would really like a new sewing machine for Christmas. I know I'm not going to get it, though, so maybe a gift card would be nice.

  129. Does it count if I say I want a 25th hour in the day for Christmas? No? How about something more realistic: a set of decent speakers to plug into my computer in my studio.

    ReplyDelete
  130. I really don't know what I'd like for Christmas. It's always a chore (!) to come up with ideas. I wouldn't mind a flat screen tv for my living room, but the tv I have works fine so I have a hard time replacing something that works. In Ipad would be my second choice only because I like playing the bubble burst game and angry birds!!! Thanks

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  132. I haven't made a list but just off the top of my head I would say a new PNS camera. Mine has fallen in a lake and been dropped and repaired so a new one would be awesome!

  136. What a great idea! I am a happy follower.

    ReplyDelete
  137. For Christmas! Well, after world peace & feed the hungry, I need a class on paper piecing!
