Christmas in October?

171 Comments / By / October 12, 2011

I love Christmas time…that much was probably made evident when I started making a Christmas Sampler Quilt all the way back in July!  There is just something magical about the season.

SassyPacks

When I started my sampler quilt – I post a picture of my completed blocks to a group I belong to on Facebook and Vicki from SassyPacks immediately responded and told me how much she loved it.  We have since become friends and she has been a great supporter of my blog AND she is one of my sponsors!

As a special treat to help someone who wants to make their own special Christmas Sewing/Quilting project – Vicki and Jennifer have oh so generously decided to giveaway a layer cake of O’ Tinsel Tree by Robert Kaufman Fabrics!

This is a contemporary funky line and some of the fabrics can be viewed on the Robert Kaufman site – not all are shown because it is not readily available anymore. 

Here’s how to enter (you must be a follower of my blog!)

  1. Head over to the SassyPacks and tell me what your favorite SassyPack kit
  2. Head over to the SassyBlog, follow Vicki & Jennifer – say Hi and tell me that you did so!

For a bonus entry – blog, tweet or facebook about this giveaway – come back here and let me know that you did.

And don’t forget…SassyPacks is also offering free shipping on all US orders over $20 for my followers – use the BitterSweet code upon checking out!  For my international readers – they have something special just for you too! Email them at contact@sassypacks.com!!  These special deals are for the entire month of October!

This giveaway will be open until Midnight October 20, 2011 – I will announce the winner on October 20th (my wedding anniversary!).

Good luck!

    Oh my gosh ~ what DON’T I like in thier shop!? They’ve got such a great group of SassyPacks. I really love the Cutie Pie Girl Quilt (and with a Granddaughter coming Feb 2012 I need a baby girl quilt) But then I also love the Baby Gift Set Pink as well.

    And because I have a Grandson who was born about 5-6 weeks ago now that I have NOT made a quilt for yet their boy quilts and gift sets for boys caught my eye as well.

    I wento to the Sassy Blog and have posted, but not before being sidetracked by that awesome, easy quilt tutorial they’ve just done. Super cute and using only those two blocks too. I LOVE how simple that looks and think even I could do that without too many bad words flying around my sewing room. lol

    I like Grandma Mary’s Five Patch! Saw this on FQS and think it would look good in Terrain – or Sassy Packs’ Color Splash – or maybe in a selection of their batiks. Thanks for the giveaway.

    They have so many cute kits but I think my favorite (and very appropriate atm) is the Spellbound Halloween Pack. Super cute and looks like it would be great fun. =)

    I have their Christmas Mug Rug set, though with all of my birthday projects have not worked on them yet. I love their Island Sunrise kit! Thanks for the great giveaway! 🙂

    My favorite Sassy Pack is definitely Island Sunrise — looks pretty hard, but OH, the colors!

  56. Michelle Olsen

    I like the Shapes & Shades girl quilt SassyPack. The colors are bright and happy and I love batiks.

    I stopped by Sassy Blog to say hello, and loved the scrappy two patch quilt tutorial. I now follow the blog, and I forgot to say earlier, but I’m your follower as well. Thanks!

    What a great site. I’ve always wanted to make a quilt like Island Surprise. That is my Sassy Pack pick. (say that three times. hehe)

    Thank you and Sassy Packs for the giveaway and a chance to win. I love Christmas fabric and just a few gifts left to make.

    Love your christmas quilt sampler. I especially like the Baby Gift Set [pink] Expecting a little girl in early November and this would be the perfect gift. Thanks for sharing and the opportunity. I am a new follower and have posted a comment.

    I do love their America the Beautiful kit. Just so you know, O’Tinsel Tree is my absolute favorite Christmas line!

  113. Beth T.

    Gosh–lots of cute options. I think tonight my favorite is the Urban Cabin lap quilt. Tomorrow it might be different; I’m fickle like that. 🙂

    Thanks for the giveaway.

    I am now a follower of their posts and I said ‘hi’ – funny, I was the 3rd Vicki to say hi which is fairly unusual. Love your tutorials Melissa! Thanks a lot.

    I love the Island Sunrise kit, I just don’t know if my skills are quite up to that yet. I’d sure love to think maybe someday they will be though.

    Island Sunrise looks awesome – as well as awesomely difficult. What a wonderful use of color and design.

    I said hi to Vicky and Jennifer. I also became a follower of theirs, thanks for introducing me to another wonderful blog. ;->

    Pant pant pant, I came straight over after reading that today is the last day to enter….pant pant…..off to Sassy Pants and back again….pant pant! I love the Baby Gift Set in Pink…..in reality blue or orange is nice too, but I’m a sucker for paisley prints for little baby girls!

    I email subscribe to your blog…..hence all the panting….that’s where I read about the deadline!

    Hugs

    I was going to say my favorite is the Island Sunrise quilt, but then I looked again and I absolutely LOVE the “Urban Cabin Twin” kit! I love it for it’s modern look and simplicity, as well as the fact that it looks like something I could put together quickly. (the other one would take ages!).

    Go Urban Cabin!! 🙂

    I can’t decide between the doodle goose and the Pink Baby Gift set….the geese! No! The baby! Wait! Ummm….the geese? Sigh.

    I stopped by Sassyblog, followed on GoogleReader (I don’t need to actually sew, right? Doesn’t reading about it count?) and dropped them a ‘Hello!’ comment while I was at it 🙂
