250th quilt celebration!

This past summer I finished my 250th quilt and today I am happy to be hosting a HUGE giveaway to celebrate this milestone. This summer also marked my 14th year as a quilter and it has been quite a ride! I'm very thankful for my journey. I can't wait to see what happens next!
People always ask, "what do you DO with all of your quilts?" That is a VERY good question. We use them in our home, of course! We use lots of quilts on our beds. (Obviously.) I have a well stocked quilt cupboard, which stores the ones that aren't currently in use. The quilts stacked on top of the cupboard are my "work" quilts (ones that I take to trunk shows or have patterns for).
I have started rolling them up and putting them into baskets.
I have filled my quilt ladder as well. Spreading them throughout the house makes it seem like less of a problem. Hahaha!
They also make great wall art. For some reason I used to be opposed to hanging quilts on the wall. I have no idea why, but I got over it. (To hang them, I use heavy duty stick pins and shove the pin right into the sheet rock. Thankfully my husband doesn't mind!) I recently hung this one in my sewing room and I LOVE how well it fits in that spot. It makes me happy to see it every day.

In addition to that, I give some quilts away to friends, family and to charity as well, but I need to do more of that. Let's just say....no one in my house has reason to complain about being cold. EVER. :)

Ok, now on to the giveaway! I have rounded up a fabulous selection of prizes from some companies and friends that have supported me along the way. I'm passing these prizes on to you!

A Beach House thread set compliments of Connecting Threads.
One 50 pack of Clover wonder clips in PINK! compliments of Connecting Threads.
A fat quarter bundle of Lion's Share Fabric by Cotton and Steel compliments of Connecting Threads.
A fat quarter bundle of Leo Lounge by Cotton and Steel compliments of Connecting Threads.
A fat quarter bundle of Calico compliments of Dear Stella.
A "Sewing Makes Me Happy" coffee mug compliments of Modern Textiles. (Heavily creamed coffee not included!)
 A splash rotary cutter (my favorite!) compliments of Olfa.
Wonderful hand made soap compliments of my friend Tara.
 A BUNCH of mini charm packs, compliments of Moda.
21 (!!!) charm packs, compliments of Moda.
And...a fat quarter bundle of the 32 NEW Kona colors, compliments of Robert Kaufman.
 
Those are some pretty great prizes, aren't they?? MANY thanks to Connecting Threads, Dear Stella, Modern Textiles, Olfa, Tara, Moda and Robert Kaufman for donating these fabulous prizes!!!

Here are the specifics. Please read everything carefully!
 
Because of the high price of overseas shipping, the prizes shown above will be limited to residents of  US, with the exception of the prizes from Connecting Threads, which are limited to residents of the US and Canada. I apologize for the limitations. However, I wanted to do something so everyone could win.
 
This may be a little bit crazy, but I'm going to do it anyway. :)
 
Everyone who leaves me a comment on this post will receive a free PDF pattern of your choice from here or here. In your comment, leave your pattern choice, your email address and also the country in which you live. To those of you who are in the US and Canada, your comment will also enter you into the drawing for the prizes above. I hope that all makes sense!! I need a writer to help me out with my disclaimer. :)
 
I will send the PDF patterns out via email. (It may take me up to two weeks depending on volume, but we will see how it goes!)
 
I will pick winners of the prizes shown above sometime later this week.

Thank you for celebrating 250 quilts with me! Here's to the next 250!!!

Happy Monday to you! :)

edited to add: thanks for all your fabulous comments! the giveaway is now closed. winners will be announced soon.

Oops forgot my choice..birch trees for sure.

What a great mile stone for you. I think I am past 125 quilts myself, but for so many years there were few finishes in a year. You inspire me always. I love your work. I would love your trees pattern. I have loved it since you first showed it here. Keep on stitching. Oh, and my husband tells me I am making a padded cell for myself, one wall at a time with all my hanging quilts.

Mary said...

You are an amazingly prolific quilter! I have been following you for a relatively short time but I only started to follow anyone in the quilt world less than 6ish months ago as most of my time is spent in my business world of balloons. Your quilts are really inspiring to me as I love anything that takes what would normally be deemed throw aways (scraps) and then makes something beautiful out of it!

I love your "trees" quilt and would be thrilled to receive that pattern! My email is fun@balloonparadise.com and I reside in Denver, Colorado. Thanks again!

Congrats on a wonderful milestone! You inspire me to keep on sewing, and make a few smaller quilts, not all quilts have to be queen size!

Also congratulations on the printed patterns, it's an exciting new step for you.

I'd love a PDF of your Trees quilt. Thank you for your generosity.

Wow 250 quilts, amazing! Congratulations!
I live in Australia but as you cannot ship here I would love the prize to go to my dear friend in Indiana (if I won). Love the Dear Stella bundle and the Kona Solids. Wish we had this sort of range in Australia!
My email address is hjstapo@gmail.com and I love the Birch Trees pattern. I think I also have one of your books! All the best with the next 250 quilts.

Silvia Muller said...

What a nice thing to happen to a woman that I've been reading with great enjoyment for quite a while! Your work has been inspiring, and not just on the quilt making front. The pattern giveaway is very kind, I think I saw the Bright Birch Trees pattern in a store I visited in San Antonio and I've been hoarding scraps of bright solids ever since.

Many thanks and all good wishes for another 250!

This is so exciting! Your 250th quilt!! What an accomplishment. Especially since all the quilts I've seen of yours are pretty beautiful. That's a lot of creative juices being used there. :)

I'd enjoy your bag pattern, but don't feel that you have to send it anytime this century, as I see you have over 1,600 comments! haha.

I almost bought those pink clips after I saw you post about them. Maybe I'll win them since I haven't gotten around to ordering any yet.

Congrats again, Amanda Jean!
