Sponsor Highlight & Giveaway – Fat Quarter Shop

286 Comments / By / November 21, 2011

How much do you love the Fat Quarter Shop?

FatQuarterShop-165Fat Quarter Shop is one of the biggest online fabric stores and their service is unparalleled.  If you get your order placed by 3:00pm central time your order will ship the same day! That is really convenient if you are like me and always forget to order enough yardage and don’t realize it until you go to bind a project.  The entire team is incredibly helpful and they will go out of their way to answer questions and help you find what you are looking for.

I am the type of quilter who loves notions and quilting tools.  Did you know Fat Quarter Shop has a fabulous selection of quilting notions? They have rulers, thread, templates, and even software that you can purchase.

My most recent favorite find is the Easy Star and Geese Ruler which Fat Quarter Shop added to their inventory in September.  I like this ruler because it is versatile – I have used it to create multiple original flying geese blocks as well as an original quilt design – Flying Flocks.

Now you combine Fat Quarter Shop’s notions with their incredible selection of fabrics…and what can I say, I’m broke!  Here are a couple of my favorite recent releases that Fat Quarter Shop is carrying:

It is hard not to find something to love at Fat Quarter Shop.  Fat Quarter Shop recently sent me some fabric to play with and they are generously giving the same fabric to one of my readers…but that isn’t all! They are also giving away an Easy Star and Geese Ruler!

So one lucky winner will win…a Jelly Roll of Flora AND an Easy Star and Geese Ruler!

This Giveaway is NOW Closed

Do you want to win? Here’s is the nitty gritty (please be a follower of my blog – I want to know that these wonderful prizes are going to people who read my blog!):

1. Head over to Fat Quarter Shop and check out their notions section – tell me the one notion you would love to test drive.

2. Sign up for the Fat Quarter Shop Newsletter.

Bonus Entry: Spread the word – blog, tweet or facebook about this giveaway for an extra entry – please include a link in your comment.

That’s 3 possible entries! This giveaway will be open from November 14th through November 20th. I will announce the winner on November 21, 2011. One lucky winner will have one more thing to be grateful for at Thanksgiving!

I will be posting some inspirational projects later in the week that I have made using the Easy Star and Geese Ruler, as well as a project using Flora!

  15. Annmarie

    I’ve never seen “Bias Bars” before – I think they’d come in really handy – would love to “test drive” them!!

  16. Annmarie

    I am a follower of your blog & I already receive the FQ Shop newsletter. Thanks to you all for the chance to win a Flora JR – lovely choice!

  21. Lee Ann L.

    I am a follower of your blog! Choosing a notion is tough! Besides the Easy Star and Geese ruler, I want the Electric Quilt 7 software. But, I’m also waiting for a sale on that software! 🙂

  22. Paula

    I would love to try the Sewline Mechanical Pencil – Trio Sewline #7021.
    Thanks for the chance!

    I would love to try the Carol Doak’s Foundation Paper #10985. I’m trying to subscribe to the Fat Quarter Newsletter, but keep getting an error. I will persist!
    Thanks for the give-away!

  27. Deb

    I already get the FQS newsletter. I’d love to try the Heat Press Batting Together. I frequently piece together batting and it looks like this notion would simplify the process.

  28. Linda

    I already suscribe to the newsletter. The corner cutter tool would be a good notion to try. Thankyou for the chance to win.

  29. Mareenchen

    Aquas and reds? Please pick me! I’d probably want to test drive the perfect circles and the Wonder Clips. 🙂

  31. Lyanna L.

    I would love their flying geese ruler that is the notion of the month right now because I think it would be so great to make them without lots of waste! =)

    Thanks for the generous giveaway I ADORE the fat quarter shop =)

  35. Heidi

    I love going to the Fat Quarter Shop – especially to see what new lines are coming down the pike (I’ve been receiving their newsletter for a while now). I have been wanting to try one of the Clover Yo Yo makers! My fingers are crossed that I will find one in my stocking this year. 🙂

  40. Bente

    Hi Melissa,
    thanks for the chance to win ☺
    I could use the binding tool, I musst suggest, I already own most of the notions ;o)
    Liebe Grüße
    Bente

  43. Lisa Marie

    I checked out the notions at FQS and I think I need to try OmniGrid InvisiGrip to keep my rulers from slipping! I follow your blog. Thanks for offering a great giveaway.

  45. Lisa L.

    I would actually love to try the Invisigrip. Since I use my cutting mat on carpet, if I do not have the perfect amount of pressure my ruler tends to slip when I am cutting using my rotary cutter. This would be perfect! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂

  56. Kathy

    The notion I would like to test drive from the Fat Quarter Shop is the Printed Treasures Sew-On Inkjet Printable Fabric
    Dritz #PT 100. I’d love to print the logo for the quiltalongs that I do and put them on the back of my quilt. Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway!

  65. Carla G

    I would love to try the Lil’ Twister Pinwheel Ruler Country Schoolhouse #LTW5. I’ve seen so many gorgeous quilts made with this ruler and would love to try one! Thanks for a chance to win this awesome giveaway! And yes I’m a follower! 🙂

  83. Rita Goshorn

  87. Stray Stitches

  107. duff

    i ‘d love to test drive the lazy angle ruler. I’ve watched a video and it seems innocuous enough but I don’t know…
    hey! i linked over form hoodies and flipflops, but I recognized you from Lyanna’s blog–awesome stocking tutorial! I have to post about the stocking I made–it was cute too!

  113. Brandy M.

  116. Karen O

    I would like to try one of the specialty rulers. The one by Darlene Zimmerman – Companion Angle, looks very helpful. Thank you Fat Quarter Shop!

  118. elizabethdx

    Thanks for the giveaway! I can’t decide between the fast2sew tools ultimate seam guide, which sticks to the bed of the sewing machine, Aurifil thread, or the Invisigrip. Doesn’t everyone love notions?

  119. Toni Anne

    Hi Melissa, I’m a follower. If I could test drive anything in The Fat Quarter Shop, I’d try Alex Anderson’s “4 in 1 Essential Tool”. Anything with a few uses sounds great to me. ;->

  120. Toni Anne

    Hi Melissa, I already receive The Fat Quarter, newsletter. I also read the Jolly Jabber blog. Thank you both for the wonderful giveaway! ;->

  122. DeDe

    I’d really like to try Carol Doaks Foundation paper just to see if it really is better than plain old computer paper.

  127. Jacque

    I think it would be wonderful to have that tool that helps you make binding! Seems like it would make it much easier. 🙂 I’m a follower!

  133. Dawn

    I have a quilt pattern that call for the 4 1/2″ Easy Angle and Easy Quilting Companion Angle of which I have neither. So either one of those would be my choice for a new toy.

  187. Jannette

    I looked at all of the different things in the notions section, and I’d love to see how the Pinmoor Quilt Anchors work – pinning a quilt is my least favourite quilting “job”.

  189. Mimi

    What wouldn’t I like to test drive??? Seriously though, I would love to get my hands on a Lil Twister Pinwheel Ruler (with instruction book!!) Thanks for the chance – this is another fabulous giveaway!

    I already follow your blog!

  211. Jocelyn

    I own most of the notions available, but I would really love to try the Protect and Grip Thimble. I only do a little bit of hand sewing, but this would be a great asset to hand quilting. Thanks for a very generous giveaway.

  213. Deb

    I would love the ergo Rotary cutter. With the amount of time I spend with a rotary cutter in my hand, this has got to make it easier!

  215. Holly U

    Well it sounds lame but…I need better pins! I’ve had mine for ages, and keep finding dull and bent ones. I finally started throwing those out, so slowly but surely I need new, better pins for my work.

  217. Anna Veit

    I just found your website – and just got the first newsletter – sounds dull – but I need a new rotary cutter – plus tons of new fabric! Love the new Echo line by Lotla Jansdotter!

    I’m liking the tool of the month – the Corner Cutter … I’d love to try that next time I make flying geese! Thanks for the chance!

  225. GG
