Quilting Giveaway!!!

Thank you to all who entered, but this giveaway is now closed. Check back in the future for more chances to win!

It's about time I showed you all how much I appreciate you with a little giveaway! Doesn't that sound like fun?!

I'm going to keep this one short, sweet and simple...

Up for grabs is the chance to win $100 in long arm quilting!!!

There's three easy ways to enter:

1. Leave a comment below telling me what you enjoy on the blog and what you'd like to see more of.

2. Leave a separate comment suggesting a name for my long-arm machine... It needs a title!

3. For a bonus entry tag me @rubybluequilts on Instagram with a picture of your quilt (or the quilt you'd like to make) to send me!

If you are the lucky winner, there isn't a time limit on when I need to receive the quilt (within reason). You could have it completed and waiting, or it could be an idea in your noggin you're still waiting to figure out!

Leave your comments to enter below and share the word with your friends, $100 in quilting can go a long way!

This giveaway will be open until Monday, March 16th, winner will be announced Tuesday the 17th! Good Luck!

Mini Madness Continues

A little bit ago I hosted a giveaway over on Instagram for reaching 400 followers. I offered up a choice of either $75 towards long arm quilting or a personalized mini quilt...

 Aurelie won and chose a mini quilt. I had so much fun piecing this and then the quilting was a blast! I love it so much that I may just have to make one for me!

 I drew up this pattern and paper pieced the feathers and adapted the rest as I went. There was a certain size and proportion I was trying to get and I'm so happy with how it turned out.

 I really like how the quilting stands out on the pieced back too!

 You can really see the quilting details in the feather at this angle.

Then just as I was getting ready to pack this mini up and send it on it's way, the sunset was shining through the window and it cast the most amazing light and shadows!!! This picture really doesn't do it justice, but it was so pretty I had to snap a few more pictures!

I know I know, many of you may be feeling neglected that I didn't offer the same giveaway here... Well, just hold your horses and come back next week for a giveaway! It's been long overdue here on the blog and you all deserve some quilty love too!

I have some other wonderful posts scheduled in the meantime while I hash out the details for the giveaway, stop back tomorrow for a new printable that I'm sure you're going to love. On Monday I will be featuring a new project from Seems Like Scrappy and then probably Tuesday I will post the giveaway... Sound good?

Aurelie, enjoy your mini and if you ever get tired of it, feel free to send it on back! I will miss it so!

Instagram Me

I did it. I gave in to the forces of peer pressure :) Not that it was that hard, but now you can find me over on Instagram! You can find me at rubybluequilts and I will be posting all sorts of random stuff over there too.

I found myself surrounded by really awesome people at one point in my booth and everyone was chatting about Instagram and they convinced me to give it a try. So far so good and I think it will be fun. So stop on by later on.

Also, I will be doing an after market post shortly, but I'm still trying to get back in the groove and settled in and trying to find a new coffee table :/ Oh, I guess I forgot to tell you about that. If you saw it on Facebook, you know what happened, otherwise I'll tell you about it here soon.

In the meantime however, if you haven't entered, you still have time - the talented and awesome Amy Ellis is hosting the Blogger's Quilt Festival! You can enter up to two finished quilts per person and enter into several categories for your chance to win a ton of prizes. If you don't have a quilt or two to enter, stay tuned for the voting to open up and you can help to choose the winners! It's really fun to see what everyone has been creating lately.

So to recap, Instagram me, hop over to Amy's blog, and stay tuned for market stuff! Sound good?
