Deck-Ade The Halls Giveaway!!!

Did you happen to see that the Fat Quarter Shop was turning 10?  Well, in honor of their tenth anniversary they are having a quilt a long of: 10 blocks in 10 different fabrics.

The finished quilt looks super cute!  It is filled with gingerbread men, trees, presents, and some other fabulous blocks.  It is a nice throw sized quilt at 62" x 71".  You can find the details, fabric requirements and the quilt here.  I have always wanted to make a Christmas Quilt, so I am totally going to be joining in the fun.  The Fat Quarter Shop is using the NEW Aspen Frost fabric line.
 

 

 

Which I love!   I love Basic Grey fabric.  They have made such great designs.  I made this little table runner (there is a tutorial) using Blitzen by Basic Grey.
 

 

 

 

And Aspen Frost fabric line looks just as adorable.

But wait I think I am forgetting something!  Oh yeah, it says Giveaway in the title, right?

Bloggers Quilt Festival 2013

So, this is the first year I have entered into The Bloggers Quilt Festival over at

 If you are new here,  Hello!! and welcome to my little corner of the world.   My name is Amy and I have been quilting for a little over a year.  Last year, I was just starting to quilt and really was completely overwhelmed by the talent I found at last years Quilt Festival.  If you are sitting on the sidelines, like I did last year, don't.  I have met some of the nicest, most encouraging people through my blog and by taking part in great blog hops, parties and now a Quilt Festival.

 That being said, this year, I decided to enter my first quilt of 2013 in the Quilter Photography category.  I have several loves, but some of my favorites (not including family) are windmills, the outdoors and quilts.  So here is my entry....

Quilt Stats:

Pattern:  Beaquilter Quilt a long

Dimensions: 60" square

Fabrics: a huge assortment of stash fabric with a little bit of Noteworthy and Kona throw in .

Machine pieced and quilted by me on my Janome.

Category:  Quilter Photography

Pictures taken in my backyard and the open space near our home.
