First HMQG Blog Giveaway!

We are now having our first ever HMQG blog giveaway!  And I can happily tell you it won't be the last!  I have at least 5 more ready to go so stay tuned!! Do gifts from Heather Ross, Anna Maria, Denyse Schmidt, Jacquie Gering & Mary Fons all make you excited???  This is going to be so much fun I can't stand it!

So the first giveaway is really simple. Just make a comment on this page stating your favorite collection from any fabric designer and you will be entered to win a $20 Gift Certificate from ChristaQuilts.  One comment = a chance to win free fabric!  Yipeee!  Christa has also offered all of our guild members and friends a discount code where we can have 5% off all of our orders for life.  Pretty cool - and she always has free shipping!  Use the code B13HMQG and sit back to enjoy the savings forever!

   

Enter by March 6th to win.  I will use a random number generator to pick the winner and you do not need to be a guild member to win.  Good luck!

Charming Chevrons

One of the lovely ladies I met at QuiltCon was ChristaQuilts  a fellow member of my Block of the Month Skill Builder by Pile of Fabric.  Christa has posted photos from the Award Winning Quilts on her blog and I thought you might want to see them.  She did a great job with her photos and documenting so just click the links below to see them and enjoy!  Also note that Christa had an entry in the show herself - This lovely Charming Chevrons.

One of my fav winners...Texas!  It would be great if everyone added a comment saying what their fan favorite is from the winners circle.  For Fan Favorite of the show I voted for Beth's Lucky quilt but I think from the WC I go with Texas!  (Texas loves you anyway!)

Is it Over??? I have the QuiltCon Blues!

QuiltCon was so amazing, it is hard to believe it is over.   But really, it will live in our hearts forever! It was so nice to be surrounded by so much beauty, skill, kindness and fun.  And that was just because I was rooming with Becca!!!  I have asked the group of us that went to all blog-in and give their reports of what they learned, were inspired by, and purchased!  Please check back over the next few weeks while we relive the madness that was QuiltCon. 

I am so glad I got there to participate in the inaugural event. Everyone I spoke with had a feeling we were doing something awesome and were lucky to be there.  I guess I should feel that way about my life but it takes something like a modern quilting conference to spark my gratitude! 

In case anyone hasn't logged on to the mothership site in a while, they have updated their look and added some new content on the Modern Quilt Guild.  Especially of interest is the list of show winners on their blog.
