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.

Leave me a comment before 5 p.m. PST on Friday, December 7th telling me which giveaway package you’d prefer to win. I’ll randomly select winners later that day.
I do usually respond to comments, but with the volume received for giveaway day, I apologize in advance that I am not superwoman enough to do so.
Thank you for stopping by; hope to see you here again. Now go find other giveaways to win!
i can’t decide between c and d! i’d be so happy with either/any=is that annoying?! i’ll choose c.
thanks! i’m a follower and i love your stuff!
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. But really, any of them would be utterly lovely to win, so thanks for the opportunity to go in for such a lovely giveaway!
It is hard, but I think Giveaway B. I would love to have the kit to get started on making one of your gorgeous girls!
