Update – Congratulations to the giveaway winners: hueisei, Skooks, Mary and Shanna @ Fiber of All Sorts
It’s Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day. Lucky for you I’ve been cleaning out my studio and I’m giving away 4 sets of goodies. I’ll tell you a little about myself as I detail the giveaway options.
I designed the cover art for Quilts, Tacos & Tattoos, a novel by Alicia Diane Durand. I also created an art quilt pattern based on the cover art with instructions for piecing the quilt shop background and constructing the fused appliqué girl in a dimensional dress. Giveaway A includes a copy of the novel, the quilt pattern and spool photo holder.
My passion is making art quilts in all sizes with girls in fun dresses – especially ruffled dresses. Since I was having such fun making the art quilts that I created kits and patterns for others to enjoy the process too. I’ve presented the creative girl art quilts to my guild a few times; it’s always a fun class. Giveaway B has a spool photo holder and a creative girl art quilt kit with 8 small and 4 large faces printed on fabric and pre-fused to fusible webbing, dress pattern in 2 sizes, basic creative girl art quilt instructions, batting for 2 art quilt (1 small 5â€x8†and 1 large 8â€x12â€), fusible webbing, fabric in a variety of patterns/colors for dress making and backgrounds, fabric to match the faces for creating arms or legs, bag of fabric scraps, embellishments (buttons, ribbon, lace, vintage trim), and a strip of ruffled fabric.
I don’t just love fabric, I love pretty paper. When I need a break from quilting, I usually make paper collage or journals. Giveaway C includes a handcrafted journal and spool photo holder. The journal cover features machine-stitched scraps with a generous ties to keep your daily snippets and thoughts securely inside. Inside is an assortment of drawing, scrapbook, vintage, recycled and other type of paper in a variety of sizes with pockets and ephemera. Finished size (closed): approximately 6†x 9†with over 40 pages.
This summer I created 12 canvas backgrounds and told myself to play with what I had on hand. It was a fun way to spark my creativity and try a few new techniques. Once done, I gave away most of them. Giveaway D features an unclaimed canvas collage entitled Girl measuring 8†x 9.5†and a creative girl art quilt pattern. The canvas collage has a fabric sticker, doodle stitched and painted girl. The Creative Girl Art Quilt Pattern includes 8 small and 4 large faces printed on white fabric, fabric to match the faces for creating arms or legs, 4 different dress pattern in 2 sizes, pattern for legs, arms and shoes in small and large sizes, instructions for assembling art quilt, and a strip of ruffled fabric.

I’ve been a follower for awhile. I would adore any of these, I guess I would choose Giveaway D if I were first. Of course I would adore any of them! You are uber talented!
Giveaway C – I love pretty journals.
A, no…B…wait, A. Yes, definitely B! (your work is amazing, btw)
My favorite would be C but A comes in a close second and there there are B and D and they want a little love too so they tie for third. thanks for the great giveaway.
Set A for me please! Although I’d love to have any of them. 🙂
I like the giveaway packages in the order they are shown. Would love to win A, since I need a new book to read.:) Thank you!
i can’t decide between c and d! i’d be so happy with either/any=is that annoying?! i’ll choose c.

Oh, to chose… I would like to get into art quilting, so your give away is great! I’d like B please. I can’t imagine beginning art quilting with a face, but here goes!
Your items are all lovely (I own a few!). If I had to choose I think my first choice would be A, and my second choice would be C. Any would make me happy – thanks for the chance!
Wow, how can I possibly choose one??? I love your work so much . Probably I would pick A, but I would be super duper extra happy with any of them!
All your giveaways are wonderful. I would pick #1 as I think it would be fun to make a little quilt like the cover of the book (and read the book too).
I really like them all. I guess I’d have to say either A or C.
I would love to win anything but B caught my attention!
I am a fan, and read you in my email regularly – so giveaway letter B soumds perfect! I would be thrilled, however, with giveaway A if B is gone. Very exciting! Thanks for the chance!
Giveaway item B is lovely. Thank you for the giveaway!
Such a difficult decision! Either A or B. The reader in me wants A and the sewer wants B. If I had to choose……ah….B!
Thanks for your wonderful giveaway!
Gosh, what a hard decision! I’d love any of these prizes!! If I absolutely had to pick one, I’d pick B, as I went and had a look at your art quilts and they look so much fun to make.
