The Quilt Give-a-way!!

That is right!! I am going to create a quilt to give-a-way to one lucky blog reader!! Here is the fabrics that I will be using in my quilt:




It is so gorgeous, one of my favorite fabric collections that I have right now. I am loving and appreciating all of you who are following my blog and leaving me feedback and comments and emails. You have no idea how much all of you mean to me. I am hoping that pouring my heart into this quilt will be a good way for me to show you how much you mean to me :)

In return though, I want something :) HA!! I would like to make a quilt for myself that has a little part of all of you too! Something that I can look at and be inspired by it every time. Jaime, one of my most favorite people in the world, just did something like this and I was able to participate in it for her.

**What I would like is for you to send me an 8" x8" square of any fabric (your choice). I would really really love it if you would embroider something on it too, including your name :) Those are my only specifications. You have no idea (again) how much this would mean to me. A Blogger BFF quilt !! So, if you want to do this (which I would loooooove all 125 of you followers out there to join in) please email me at janel (dot) maclean (at) gmail (dot) com, and I will send you my mailing address. Then, leave me a comment in this post if you are in!!! I am soooo excited and I am really hoping for a huge response.
(Even if you don't think that you can embroider something, I encourage you to just send a piece of fabric for the square and I can embroider your name on it. I want everyone to be part of it!!)
** You will get entered in again if you mention this give-a-way on your blog (leave another comment after you do)
** You will get another entry if you are a "follower" of my blog so leave that in your comment too!
*** Finally, tweet about this give-a-way and you will have another chance.

That is FOUR enteries that you can have in this AWESOME give-a-way. You will have 1 week to email me if you are interested and to leave your comments.

  1. oh my goodness--you are such a giver!

    i'm going to send you a square (i have your address already--that huuuugggeee box is still sitting in my kitchen :)). BUT, i don't want to be entered into the drawing. The fabrics are absolutely gorgeous and i'm sure you'll do an amazing job. but you've already given me soooo much and i want someone else to experience what being a part of the blogger world can bring :).

    blog lovin'!
