A new home


This quilt is going to a new home, where is that? Well I don't know yet but it could be at your place.

You can read about my header quilt here and here. I'd like to thank all my  visitors by giving you the chance to win this crib quilt, especially those of you who take the time to pop in and  leave me lovely comments. I have enjoyed my blogging journey since last December, passed my 100 posts and have a birthday coming up before the end of the year. This is my way of celebrating.

So all you have to do is leave me a comment. I won't reply this time because I'd like to get some sewing time in. I will read them all though. Isn't that easy?

You need to make sure you have an email address so I can get hold of you. Check your account and click on profile and see if you have your email link there otherwise email me privately. The address is in my profile.

Good luck and I'll announce a winner next Friday morning Australian time.
Thank you for the journey, the encouragement and the inspiration.
Janet

SewCalGal said...

This quilt is absolutely so beautiful. Are you insane? This might be like giving away your first child. But if you really want to give it away, count me in. I'd love it. And it would look wonderful in my home.

But, as I've also given away many Hawaiian quilts, I can understand that sometimes it is more fun to give away. I'm sure whomever wins your giveaway will treasure this beautiful quilt. I know I would.

Sometimes though it takes people to my sewing blog if they click on me so I don't know what's up with that. I love the quilt and visiting your blog. Cindy

How can you give this work of art away??????? I would love to give it a new forever home! I admire your work and hope to get somewhere as good as you. I've only recently started my hand appliqué journey. I'm working on AMG on the third block now and am taking an online needleturn class. How do you get so good at your colors? I'm still struggling with that area.

Dear Janet,
I really questioned myself whether to enter this giveaway or not...because it's been so long since my last comment...*feeling very guilty*...but please know that I love reading your blog, I'm always amazed & inspired about what you're coming up with and admire your skills...!! Congrats on 100+ posts ~ may there come many more!
Now to the giveaway: Ohmygosh! are you serious??? It is a dream! It's gorgeous! Beautiful! Awesome! Are you sure to be able to part with it??
I can't help myself...but in this case I have absolutely no self-effacement: Please, please pick me ;o) ~ I have an antique chest that desperately need a beautifully quilted appliqué quilt like yours to lie on top...or several walls that would be honoured to be graced with its presence...and knowing that I'm ages away from being an accomplished quilter the poor thing (the chest ;O) ) will have to wait a looong time if that quilt should be made by me ;o).

Congrats again,
Julia
P.S.: if you like you could visit my blog, I have a little giveaway going on, too ;o)

What a gorgeous, gorgeous quilt!

Cathie said...

You do such beautiful work in applique - not something many people spend the time and effort on anymore. I really enjoy looking at your lovely photos. It would be a special privilege to win your gorgeous quilt, and I hope I am the one!

Mary said...

Janet, the quilt is beautiful! It's hard to believe you'd part with it. Whoever gets it will be really fortunate.

Very beautiful quilt! And I love the one in the next post.. the colors are so cheerful and happy!

This is so fabulous. I would so love to win, but mostly i want to tell you how beautiful your work is. I have been appliqueing for several years and I still feel like a novice. You curves are so great and your colors perfect. I reconized some Kaffe Fasset fabrics in your latest quilt that I am using to make a jacket. So we will match!!

I do frequent your blog although I have never left a comment before. Your quilts are beyond my skill level and I am so inspired by them. I love the one that you are giving away because that is the style I was first drawn to and the colors that I typically decorate in. That said, I am awed by your imagination and your use of colors and patterns for your newest appliques. Wonderful stuff!

No WAY! Absolutley NO WAY! I can't believe you are giving this away! I would stand on my head, stand on my hands, ride a unicycle and juggle. (I might draw the line at eating worms). Oh to win this beauty. Put my name in the draw for sure!

Dawn said...

How incredibly generous of you! Your give away quilt is just so beautiful - as is everything you show on your blog. I look forward to seeing "Mary" finished :-)
Kind regards - Dawn

Kristen said...

I can't remember how I found your site, but you are very inspiring! My hubby walked into the room as I was scrolling past this quilt and HE even commented that this quilt was pretty. It takes a lot for him to make a comment.

"Thank you for the journey, the encouragement and the inspiration" that's what you wrote, but these are also my words for you. Yozu are one of my daily checked blogs, I'm always waiting with impatience for the next post.
Your creations and talent are just amazing.
I've been to the European quilt festival this weekend and bought the "red, green and beyond" book, so you shouldn't be surprised to know that I would love to get this masterpiece.
Thanks for what you give us and I hope you will continue your journey as long as possible.

THAT IS A GORGEOUS QUILT!!!!! I love the bright, crisp colours and how they just pop off the white background. Thanks for the giveaway and congrats on the special milestones...I think that quilt would look fantastic here in Canada!

Ann Champion said...

I just love your blog! I always enjoy seeing what you're up to. ;)

I'm doing the Princess Feather now too, and have a stack of red and green repros waiting for a project.

I can't believe you are going to let your little quilt go? Please throw my name in the mix. I'd sure love to win it!

Wow Janet, this quilt is so exquisite. I would love to be put in the draw. I cannot imagine winning this...but would love to! Thank you, Elaine...quilt coveter!

One for a wish.. said...

I'm crossing my fingers as i type (tricky stuff!). It's beautiful...

Jeanette said...

I am going to put my name in, but I'm not holding my breath as I never, ever win these things. But oh what I wouldn't give to have this quilt in my home!

If you give this quilt away, you are never, ever allowed to change your header, I mean ever!

Since I found your blog last week, I have been known to pull it up on my screen where I can see this quilt and just stare at is as I work on things in the same room.

Looking at it makes helping my 5th grade boys with their math that much more bearable.

I hope I hope I hope I win, I really really really do because I love this quilt so very much!

This has to be the most amazing give-away I've ever seen. You applique work is just amazing and I adore this little crib quilt.

mwhitme said...

I adore this quilt!! Since I never win anything can you at least tell me the name of the pattern and if it is available? That way I can put it on my to do list.

First I want to thank you for stopping by my blog today and leaving me a comment. I adore your blog! I am amazed at all the bright and happy colors of your recent quilts, they are awesome! As you can tell my my blog my colors are darker and more subdued but I would love to quilt outside the box and go for the brights. I will have to stop by for more inspiration.

barbara jean said...

What a stunning appliqued quilt. Your generosity is going to be greatly appreciated by the winner. This is my first visit to your blog and I have put you in my Favorites and will be returning on a regular basis.

Lots of inspiration on your site. Isn't applique fun. I know it took quite a while to do that so whoever receives this is very lucky

Sharon P said...

I'm hoping the stars are aligned
Fingers crossed that you will be kind
For that quilt is sublime
The stitching so fine
Oh how I wish it was mine!

Love it Janet, and seeing it in person was wonderful, you are such a talented quilter,

Kathi said...

It's Friday morning in Texas. Does that count?
My favorite thing about your blog is that you select projects that I would if I had the time to do twice what I do already.
The princess feather is amazing!
