UPDATE!!!! 2 Giveaways From 2 Friends

Make that 3 giveaways!  I have an update to my giveaway.  

Hawthorne Threads has joined the giveaway.  Read on.


I met Janellea at a quilting presenters networking event. She is of the younger generation (haha) and approaches the quilting world in a non- traditional way, although you would say her quilts are traditional. You can see from the cover of her book that she creates scrap quilts from a stash. Most times her stash is an inheritance of sorts. When quilters die, they leave behind a huge collection of fabrics, threads, books and other crap, er supplies. Who wants all their stuff? Most times, it is not their kids. Janellea is often the recipient of this stash and puts it to good use.
So how is she non-traditional? You won't be able to find her book on the bookshelf in a store. It's something called "print on demand". You head to www.CreateSpace.com" and order her book. They print a copy and send it to you. This results in no excess inventory and conserves the authors budget!

Janellea was generous and gave me a couple of copies. I thought I would share one as a giveaway. To qualify to win a copy, you must have a US mailing address and leave a comment here about what is the predominant color of your scraps. If you don't have any scraps (Wow!), fess up. When you head to her Website and click on Giveaway, you'll see that she is offering a giveaway of Curvalicious and 2 patterns! Isn't friendship grand?

On another digital topic:
I was so surprised this week when I opened a package that I ordered from Hawthorne Threads. They sell fabric on line and recently have started designing their own. I fell in love with this zebra print.
I ordered 1 yard of it plus 1 yard of two other fabrics to make a Curvalicious quilt. I opened the package and this is what was in it.
It was one long piece. Hmmmmm. I scratched my head. I didn't order a kit. I measured the sections and each of them was equivalent to 1 yard of fabric. How would they know that I picked those 3 fabrics? Then it dawned on me. They are also printing on demand. How clever and modern is that? What a great way to control inventory.

 You can check out Hawthorne Threads at www.hawthornethreads.com. They have very current fabrics, both theirs and other manufacturers.

And don't forget to enter both  all the giveaways.
The UPDATE is that Hawthorne Threads has joined the giveaway.  Here's the deal.  Head to their site, check out theirfabric line, Zebra Hills, and in your comment below, include your favorite color of the zebra fabric.  The winner will not only win the book, they will also win a yard of the color that they have chosen!

So to win both the Scraptashtic book and one yard of Zebra Hills fabric:
1.  Leave a comment here about the predominant color in your scrap stash
2.  Visit the Hawthorne Threads website and in your comment here, let me know which is your favorite color of their adorable zebra fabric

  4. Most of my stash scraps are black and white. I think I started collecting them for a quilt for my son, but made it without using any of them ... whoops! I guess that is also the colors of zebras. Coincidence?

  5. My stash is full of many colors. I had a difficult time picking a favorite zebra color, but I think the seaglass wins. Thanks for this opportunity.

  8. Blue, I love blue so I have more of it. I need some grey. I agree I love the seaglass but who doesn't like Black and White. I think I still have Rainbow Zebra panels somewhere, great story for children.
