Welcome to the third giveaway as I continue to celebrate my 10th anniversary as a quilter during the month of May. I would like to announce the winner of last week’s giveaway:
Range: From 1 to 103 — Unsorted
|
prefer improv blocks or paper piecing. Why fuss around with tiny little
points when there’s a way to get them perfect. And it’s already cloudy
again and looking like its going to rain 🙂
Congratulations! You have won an eVersion of the book of your choice from Martingale! You are sure to find a book with great shortcuts for your blocks. Go to their site, pick your book (make sure it has an eVersion), and email me. They will get in touch with you with directions to download it.
Now back to the business of revisiting quilts I have made in the past. I was visiting my son in California this weekend and spent the whole time playing with my grandson Nicholas. We played on the quilt above, called “Catch me if you can”. which I designed with the Riley Blake Designs “On-the-Go” line (tutorial posted here). The fabrics have cars, trains, planes… It was fun seeing it being used every day…
… which is really why I make quilts: to be used frequently, or to hang on walls as art pieces, but always as a source of comfort to me and to others. Speaking of comfort, this week’s giveaway is all about it:
As before, to enter the giveaway leave a comment (leave another one to tell me you follow my blog
for an extra chance to win), and if you are a no-reply blogger, make
sure to leave your email address (you can write it like this so you
won’t get spam emails: mary(at)everywhere(dot)com). Just tell me: What do you like or look for in quilting magazines? The giveaway ends
this Friday, May 22, at 5pm, and the winner will be announced on Monday,
May 25.
Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!

When I first page through a quilting magazine I'm looking for color! I love quilts with bright colors. Then I go back & look at everything more closely to see what I think I'd like to make.
I follow Pieced Brain through Bloglovin. working hard on my city Girl blocks & thinking about how I'm going to put them al together.
I look for clear instructions and a picture of the quilt full on. Pictures of quilts draped over chairs and things are beautiful, but I like to see what the total quilt will look like. Thanks!

I follow your blog by email. Your quilt for your grandson is wonderful. I guess I look for simplicity and fun designs. I like it when the magazine has good instructions or where they can be found. And of course color is very important.

Happy Blog Anniversary Denise!
I do follow your blog by email!
In magazines I look for quilts that can be used with my stash – I don't like magazines that have quilts that need a specific line of fabric. Happy Blog-iversary!
I am a long time email follower
Happy Anniversary and more to come.I look for projects that haven´t curves .I look projects with clear steps and with diagrams.
I get inspiration from the projects that I see in magazines… And usually I buy them only for one or two projects that I will make!
I love seeing pictures of finished quilts…the whole quilt so I know what it looks like with all the blocks together. Thanks
I follow by email.
I frequently use flannels for backing but I have seen some fantastic quilts lately pieced with flannel on the top. Gotta try this!

I love browsing through the magazines and finding that special project I just have to make for someone special in my family.. now my grand daughter have taken to looking at my magazines and putting post it notes on the quilts they like the best, HINT HINT NANA they also list the color they like on the note… and there are plenty of notes…
I like magazines with a lot of variety. I'm a very experienced quilter so I don't want all easy projects but sometimes that "quick and easy" is just what I'm looking for! [email protected]
Oh, I follow by email! [email protected]
I love to use flannels too, especially for the backs. it makes the quilts so cozy!
I am a follower via bloglovin and e-mail.
I look for magazines with projects that I feel I would make. I like a variety in the size of the project because I don't always want to be making a bed quilt. I also like to find things that are new to me like a technique or a product.
I'm a follower. Thanks for the giveaways 😉
Sometimes simple quilts are the best quilts! I often use flannel on the backs of quilts but live in AZ so I don't make flannel quilts!
I follow you via email
I need to be inspired by some projects in the magazine and do want to learn something new. I am an experienced sewer so easy is not always the spark for me. I love love color so any pics that are colorful will get me to that magazine.

I look for magazines that have a pattern that I think I might like to make. That might include embroidery or quilts that are good for guys (I have 3 sons!). I prefer that they not depend for their effectiveness on a particular line of fabric since I probably won't find it when I want to make the quilt several years down the line.

I look for patterns, good tutorials and inspiration from a quilting magazine!

Truthfully I don't buy too many quilting magazines any more. The one I do buy is Primitive Quilts and Projects. So I guess I'm looking for that primitive style with wool. And a magazine that includes a little rug making and needle punching.
I follow with email 🙂
I like large lovely pictures and plenty of blocks to play with.

I look for easier projects in magazines. It seems like the instructions are so rushed in magazines so sometimes it is just hard to follow if the project is complicated.
Love working with flannel- so cozy! Sarah: crjandsbj(at)netzero(dot)com
