Welcome to the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!
This is my fifth time participating in the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day. I love Sew Mama Sew (I just curated the Handmade Holidays list of Gifts for Cooks) and I enjoy spending a few many, many hours entering giveaways and finding new wonderful blogs each SMS Giveaway Day.
So who would like some delicious Kona solids? Up for grabs is a 12-Piece Blueberry Thicket Fat Quarter Bundle of Kona cotton solids by Robert Kaufman. I am such a fan of Kona cottons, they have such a great feel and so many colors.
For those who are new here, here is a little about myself (for those that are returning, thank you!).
My name is Cheryl and I am a chemical engineer/patent agent by day and a quilter at night. I have a wonderfully supportive husband who allowed me to turn the guest bedroom into my quilting room, an 8 year old son and 5 year old daughter. I love designing quilt patterns and doing quilty math which allows me to combine my quilting skills with my engineering and technical writing backgrounds.
I would love to tell you about three fun things going on or starting soon on my blog:
1. The Midnight Mystery Quilt: This is a lap sized mystery quilt-a-long which started in June and will continue until March 2016. All of the months' instructions, as well as details about the popular Facebook group can be found in the Mystery Quilt tab above. The instructions will never be removed so you can start the quilt whenever you would like!
3. Pattern Writing Blog Series: Starting in mid-January I will be presenting a blog series on how to write quilt patterns, teaching how to take a quilt design from a sketch book to a fully developed quilt pattern. To make the series less abstract and more practical, I will be demonstrating each step and concept using an actual quilt pattern example. A wonderful group of pattern designers will be joining me for round table discussions through the series. You can find out more information at the Pattern Writing Series tab above.
I hope that you will be able to take some time to look through any of the blog happens described above, my recent finishes, and my newly updated tutorials page.
Now on to enter the giveaway!!

ReplyDeleteI like charm packs because you can get an entire line for very little money, but since I think with fabric more is better, I'd go with the fat quarter packs!
ReplyDeleteI don't buy many pre-cuts, I prefer yardage. But that's probably why I have so many scraps...

ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous, gorgeous blues! I used to favor charm packs...and still like them....but I've started buying layer cakes...it's like getting 4 charm packs at once if I want to cut them into quarters...or use them as the 10inch squares. They are just so versatile.
ReplyDeleteI follow you via email....and love the blogposts. I've especially enjoyed the Midnight Mystery---it's been my favorite project in 2015 and I can hardly wait to see what you might have in store for us in 2016. Thank you so much for the chance to win.

Layer cakes are my precut of choice, not that I don't spread the love with jelly rolls and charm packs. I also have an estimated four to five hundred FQs. I' just sayin'. I have a thing for fabric!

I love FQs bundles as all the fabrics coordinate perfectly!! I love these blues and it just happens to be my favourite colour too!! Crossing my fingers!
ReplyDeleteI love charm packs because they are affordable! Thank you so much for this incredible giveaway! My favorite color is blue!
ReplyDeleteI love all of them, but I like a jelly roll most because I love to strip piece!
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog!
ReplyDeleteI follow you via IG and Bloglovin!!
ReplyDeleteIf I could afford them, I'd say FQ bundles like this gorgeous one are my favorite precuts. However, fat 1/8s or 1/16 are a better alternative, along with layer cakes. Layer cakes are big enough to be useful and to give you a good sense of the fabrics, but still affordable. I usually end up buying yardage on sale to finish out things.
ReplyDeleteI follow you my favorite way -- by e-mail. I can't always keep up with the blog reading, but e-mails get read sooner or later.
ReplyDeleteJelly rolls are so cute but I find layer cakes more versatile.

FQs are really fun to have on hand, but I can never resist buying the mini charms!
ReplyDeleteIf money is an issue then charm packs, but I wish I could buy FQs all of the time
ReplyDeleteNew follower on IG @acrafty_maker I look forward to your quilt designing series.
ReplyDeleteOh it would definitely be fat quarters. Such a great size. Normally enough to do what I bought it for and a bit extra with scraps. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI follow just about everywhere but I think I most often check in using bloglovin
ReplyDeleteI love charm packs because I get to have all the prints of the fabric line at such a low cost.
ReplyDeleteI don't work with precuts much - I like to buy 1/2 yards and this usually works for most of my projects - I will buy 5 yards when I can get it on sale and it would work for good backs
ReplyDeleteI am a faithful follower of yours via bloglovin and am currently making two of your mystry quilts - who knew that big block wolud be cut up?????
ReplyDeleteI love Jelly Rolls. They are so versatile! My email is lehendrickson(at)gmail(dot)com.

ReplyDeleteFor my favorite pre-cut, it is a toss up between the jellyroll and the charm pack. It is so easy to do HST patterns with the charms, but it is SO convenient to use the jelly rolls and not have to cut all those strips!

I use FQ bundles most.
ReplyDeleteI surely do use fat quarters, but prefer 1/2 yard bundles ... when I can afford them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome giveaway Cheryl! FAt quarters are the pre cut I use most, actually, they're the only pre cuts I've used! I've seen some really cool things done with jelly rolls that I'd like to try one day.
ReplyDeleteI follow you on Bloglovin and IG.
ReplyDeleteThe bigger the better!! Although it is nice to buy a smaller cut to use for a specific project.
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fabric precut is a fat quarter!
Great idea for a Best of 2015 Linky party! I'll have to do some digging on my own blog to see what I can find. ;)
ReplyDeleteFat quarter bundles are definitely the most versatile, which I love. But for some reason it's charm packs that I seem to stock up on...
The precuts I like depend on the "season" of quilting I am in and the projects I want to do
