It’s here: the most epic sewing-blog giveaway day in the entire blogosphere. This is my first year participating, and I’m excited to have a great bundle to give away today! Welcome to readers new and old, and to those of you visiting for the first time, I encourage you to have a look around. Here I share my creative and design process, project progress, completed creations, tutorials, color inspiration, and more, chock full of colorful photographs. If you like what you see, you can follow my blog via email or bloglovin (look –>) or follow me on Instagram or Twitter, or can check out my paper piecing patterns on Craftsy.
Now, let’s cut to the chase! Here’s what you could win today:

- XOXO in Toy Boat by Rashida Coleman Hale, Cotton + Steel Basics

- Plot Circles in Carrot from Doe by Carolyn Friedlander (Robert Kaufman Fabrics), and
- Spot On Pearl Metallic Small Dot in Copen (Robert Kaufman Fabrics)
Choice of Two (2) Quilt Patterns from
Yvonne of Quilting Jetgirl was generous enough to offer winner’s choice of any two (2) of her quilt patterns! You can check out her available patterns in her Craftsy shop HERE. I know which two I would choose–have you seen Tesselated Leaves or Triangle Transparency!?, but which two would you choose? Here is a peek at just a few of her patterns:

P.S. I always try to respond to comments, but may not be able to on the giveaway posts due to the high number of comments. Please know I appreciate your visit and hope you follow or come back again!
Night Quilter 
My job requires that every single little thing I do is reviewed by numerous people and I then have to justify and explain every decision I made and why. This leaves me feeling like I have to do something that no one can pick at, no one can alter or revise. It is my ability to pour my energy into something that belongs to me, even if I am making a gift. Not sure if that makes sense but in my head it does. Thanks! coudre at dmdrafting dot com

For me it’s more of an uge to create something – anything – rather than something specific inspiring me. I guess the key factor though is always having the time to do it in.

I like working with my hands and for me a lot of my creative is sparked by color choices. The way a blue light hits an actor on stage or the way the leaves in the fall look golden against a fall blue sky, etc.

My inspiration is quite random. It might be something I see while waiting to take a cello home after a child’s lesson at school, a pattern in the pavement, someone’s quilt, the back of someone sitting in church or simply because I’m feeling a particular way!
