The Splendid Sampler Giveaway! (((updated with winner)))

The Splendid Sampler has been going on for almost a full month!  It has been a blast making all of the beautiful blocks with such a variety of techniques.  I love looking forward to seeing what is coming up next with the Sew Along!  If you have not joined in, you are welcome hop in at any time!


I love hosting giveaways!  They are fun, exciting and JOYFUL!  When putting together this giveaway, I knew I had to include two things I had mentioned to make perfect piecing so much easier... Aurifil 50wt thread and The Clearly Perfect Angles mat by New Leaf Stitches.   I  then asked Pat Sloan if she would consider offering a charm pack of her NEW Moda line Hometown Girl and she sent TWO ( I LOVE PAT)!  This is not an "official" The Splendid Sampler Giveaway but it seemed to fit  ;o)



One winner will receive one Clearly Perfect Angles courtesy of Kari Carr from New Leaf Stitches     (thank you Kari), two FAB charm packs of Hometown Girl by Pat Sloan for Moda Fabrics and three large spools for Aurifil 50wt thread in three stunning colors!!!!

You do not have to be participating in The Splendid Sampler Sew along to enter!  You are not required to do all of the options to be entered.  Choose one or  all!  Your chances will increase with the more options you choose :o)  A random winner will be chosen by Rafflecopter and I will contact you by email on or about 16  March 2016.


Thank you everyone that participated in the FUN giveaway!  

CONGRATULATIONS to AFTON WARRICK for winning the FUN prize package!  Look for an email from me :o)
