Giant Chevron Quilt and a GIVEAWAY!
**Giveaway now closed**
I showed you this lovely stack of fabric a while ago and now it has become this...
A Giant Chevron Quilt using the fantastic new pattern by Jess at The Eleven Garden.
I used rainbow colours from my stash and a range of low volume prints.
I did straight line quilting with Aurifil 50wt 2610, a nice light grey. For the backing I used a lilac vintage sheet.
The binding is a great print from Modern Yardage, the fabric is so soft and easy to work with.
This quilt is a gift for a friend, a check off my FAL list and one of my Making Christmas goals!
I was testing the lap quilt pattern so this is what it looked like at that size but I added extra rows to make it into a giant bed size quilt (my friend and her husband are both really tall!)
Luckily Jess has done all the hard work and the pattern includes three sizes: baby, lap and twin size. It also has a blank colouring page so you can plan your layout, very helpful!
Jess is kindly letting me give away 2 copies of the pattern to 2 lucky winners!
You each have two chances to win (please leave a separate comment for each entry):
GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED

Good Luck!
enjoyment and a very lucky winner
It is busy back to school time, life is really stressful but thank goodness for pretty things to sew. I have been working on my star flowers and am loving how they look:
It has also been quite a long time since I have done any embroidery so I started working on this piece; it is written by Jodi, she kindly gave me permission to stitch her beautiful poem.
And now to the winner of my giveaway...
Huge congratulations Catrin! I'm sending you an email.
For the sake of being honest, I had to draw again because the first winner was a no reply blogger and you were warned to leave your email address! Gah. That is so annoying.
Thank you again to all the sponsors and to everyone that entered and left such lovely comments. I hope you enjoy discovering and supporting these great companies:
I'm off to enjoy more sewing :)
when I was two I was nearly new {thank you giveaway}
