Superior Threads – Sponsor Highlight & Giveaway

207 Comments / Giveaway, Hand Quilting, superior threads / By

Hi Everyone! I’m back. Next week I will tell you all about why I have been MIA, but in the meantime I have some really fabulous things going on here that I want to share with you! Today I have Superior Threads here and I wanted to tell you about some of my favorite products that they carry that are just plain FUN!

I love this product and I have 2 dress patterns and a package at home waiting for me to sew up a dress for Anne.  Texture Magic allows you to add dimension to whatever project you are working on, and the best part is that it is permanent. You can wash your finished project and the texture will remain!

Can you guess what that is?!? Yup! It’s glow-in-the-dark thread! Superior Threads product NiteLite Extra Glow Polyester Thread to be exact. I happen to have a spool of the pink thread and I do see a fun embroidered pillow in Anne’s future with it!

Hello Summer! How about a fun embroidered shirt or a picnic quilt that has been quilted with color changing thread. Inside you see white thread and when you step out side into the sun you see a fun colored design! I also have a spool of this thread! I think Anne and I need a picnic blanket for trips to the park this summer and color changing thread would be the perfect finishing touch!

Now did you see that the title for this post also said “giveaway”.  Well Superior Threads told me that I could pick out three of my favorite threads, and I picked three that I have reviewed and they will be giving away a spool of each to THREE different winners.

I decided to pick three threads that I have reviewed: King Tut, So Fine and Treasure Hand Quilting Thread (oh wait, I guess I haven’t reviewed that one yet – come back tomorrow for that one!).

How do you enter:

1. Head over to Superior Threads and tell me your favorite product/thread line or the one you most want to try. (1 Entry)
2. Go like Sew BitterSweet Designs on Facebook or follow me on Twitter (1 Entry)
3. Spread the word: blog, facebook, or tweet about this giveaway, come back and leave me the link (1 Entry)

Three ways to enter!  This giveaway will be open until 9pm Pacific time on Wednesday, May 23rd. I will announce the winner on Thursday the 24th.  Good luck and make sure you stop by tomorrow to see what I made my mom for mother’s day and my review on Treasure Hand Quilting Thread!

Sponsor Highlight: Fat Quarter Shop & Giveaway

297 Comments / Fat Quarter Shop, Giveaway / By

Fat Quarter Shop – known throughout our blogging community as having one of the widest selections of fabric, notions, patterns and pretty much anything the modern sewist needs.  One of the things that I love is that they have a HUGE selection of Specialty Cuts: Fat Quarter Bundles, Fat Eighth Bundles, Charm Packs, Jelly Rolls, and Layer Cakes.

I love pre-cuts and specialty cuts  – they are great for quick and easy baby quilts, especially the Charm Packs, Jelly Rolls and Layer Cakes. I also love that you can pick up a small amount of an entire line. The best part about pre-cuts is that there are patterns written specifically for them! Buy a layer cake, get a layer cake pattern and you have a quick and easy quilt.

Check out this great pattern from Jenna at Sew Happy Geek:

Pick this pattern up with a Layer Cake

Say Walk in the Woods, and you have a quick and easy quilt you can whip up.

Now I love Fat Quarter Bundles because you get a fairly good sized cut of fabric for each print in a line. Check out these Fat Quarter Bundles of Flock by Thomas Knauer

I like the idea of being able to have an entire line available to me to mix and match at will in a project.  Fat Quarter Shop sent me a EZ Dresden Ruler and five 1/4 yard cuts of flock at the beginning of the month and here is a sneak peak of what I came up with.

Would you like to win some Flock? Fat Quarter Shop is generously giving away 2 Fat Quarter Bundles, one of each colorway!

How can you enter? (you must be a follower to enter)

  1. Head over to Fat Quarter Shop and tell me your favorite “Specialty Cut”(ie. designer and line) – leave me a link
  2. Follow me on Facebook or on Twitter, come back and tell me.
  3. Spread the word – blog, facebook, or tweet about this giveaway, come back and tell me.

Two awesome prizes and 3 chances to win. This giveaway will be open through 9pm Pacific Time on May 1st and I will announce the winners on May 2nd.  Come back tomorrow for a review on the Dresden Plate Ruler and a mini tute on the quilt I made!

 

Quliting Away

10 Comments / Giveaway, quilting / By

The last 2 weeks I haven’t been doing too much piecing. Mostly lots and lots of quilting. This is a sneak peak at my secret project. This is going to be turned in to my second pattern. I am really excited about it and I can’t wait to share it with you.

I have also finally gotten to quilting the Twirling Around Quilt.

Here I am working away with my headlamp in place. You may remember this as my secret weapon for when I paper piece.  It is also my secret weapon for quilting, sometimes piecing (depending on the available light), and all handwork. Every quilter and sewist needs to have hiking headlamp. I LOVE mine!

Don’t forget to go enter the generous giveaway from Contemporary Cloth and if you like to sew dresses, go check out the giveaway I am sponsoring at Hopeful Threads!

Have a wonderful day!

175 Comments / Giveaway, Stitches N' Giggles / By

I would like to take a few moments to welcome my newest sponsor Stitches N’ Giggles. I first met Lori when I was trying to find backing for my Twirling Around quilt. I needed just the right print from Twirl by Me & My Sisters for the backing and Lori carries the ENTIRE line! Her customer service is fabulous, she stuck with me through my indecision (I think we exchanged 6 or 7 emails with my changing my mind on yardage!) until I finally figured it out exactly how much I needed.

Lori has been sewing and quilting for years and in 2009 she opened Stitches N’ Giggles. She specializes in Michael Millers and Moda fabric lines, offering them at incredibly reasonable prices.

She has several great lines in stock right now.

I love the fabrics that Lori carries and she doesn’t just carry fabric, she has a great selection of patterns, notions, and King Tut thread by Superior Threads!

Today Lori has a special prize for one of my fabulous readers! She is offering a $25.00 Gift Certificate!

You may be asking how can I get my hands on that?!? First and fore most you must be a follower of my blog – there are lots of ways to do that, just check out my sidebar (this is not an entry).

1. Go like Stitches N’ Giggles on Facebook – come back and tell me that you did – if you want to thank Lori for the fabulous giveaway that would be nice too! (one entry)

2. Go like my Facebook Page or follow me on Twitter. (one entry)

3. Alert the media (blog, tweet, or facebook) – let’s get the word out about this great giveaway from a great shop! (one entry)

This giveaway will be open until April 6th at 9 pm and I will announce the winner on April 7th. Good luck everyone!!!
