Christmas Gifts for Quilters 5 (+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 fabulous solids FQ stack giveaway at the end of the post.

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>

Now, onto giving fabrics for Christmas presents for quilters.  I can never have enough fabric but it's hard for non-quilters to choose those fabrics for me (and probably hard for quilters too).  So what options do you have - well solids and blenders will always be useful to modern quilters as will funky new lines that perhaps they haven't yet managed to get their hands on.  So today we have a few suggestions for Christmas gifts from Alice at Backstitch, a UK fabric shop.

For a small present, how about a FQ stack of fabrics in a certain colourway as a great stash booster such as this Lemon Drop Bundle:


For a medium gift what about an FQ stack of this fabulous new line Echo from Lotta Jansdotter (say that name aloud, it sounds so nice).  I predict this will be one of those lines which will sell out worldwide quickly and we will all spend the next ten years paying exorbitant prices for little pieces of it on Etsy.  Here is the Vanilla Coke FQ bundle:


And finally a no holes barred gift, one of Alice's Hurricane bundles, the ultimate solids stash builder:


And Alice has very kindly agreed to give one of my readers a Hurricane tonal solids bundle.  Now I just need to point out here that Alice is happy to mail this bundle in the UK but for those of you outside the UK, you will need to pay the costs of postage to Alice by paypal before the bundle can be mailed so bear that in mind when considering whether or not to enter the giveaway.  For a chance to win:

1.   One comment letting Alice and me know which of the hurricane tonal bundles you would like to receive if you win.  Click here to choose which you prefer of mute, pastel, haybale, berry and neutral.
2.   One comment to say you follow this blog.
3.   One comment to say you have spread the word - twitter, facebook, blog etc.
