Mini-quilt giveaway!

As promised, I will be giving away a (mini) quilt.

I'll let you pick a couple things... like, do you want it to be...

modern,

or

traditional?

A pillow?

or a doll quilt? or a little wall hanging?

What colors?

But, I'm using this project to practice doing my own quilting. (It's a must after this quilting *disaster*)

I'll use fabric from my stash, so the sky will not be the limit, but I'll email with the winner to try to come up with something that builds my skills, and pleases their fancy.

Here's how to enter:

1 - Leave a comment on this entry that answers the following questions:

juvenile or adult?

seasonal or timeless?

solids or patterns?

modern or traditional?

wonky or structured?

wall, doll, or pillow?

favorite color:

Make sure your name is on there, and I have a way to contact you (if I'm your facebook or BBC friend, that's sufficient... you might want to include a last initial)

2- For additional entries, leave a comment on any of the December blog entries (I think there are 7 all together).

I will post the winner on January 3.

My disclaimers:

- this will be a trial project, and will reflect that level of *expertise*

- Completion will be contingent upon my availability of thread, uninterrupted sewing time, and other possible factors (but I'll try to not keep you waiting too long)

- you can't win if I can't figure out how to notify you

Have fun!

(Bonus points may be given if you help me in my quest to lose the last 10 Steiger pounds before his first birthday on 4.10.10)

WIP Wednesday (but on Thursday)...

The Christmas tree is actually the biggest work in progress... it has lights on half of it. (Sort of) funny story... Jay decided to burn the lights with the tree last year. No, I wasn't really impressed, but hey, now we get new fancy LED lights from Costco. But we didn't buy enough. Tomorrow Jay plans to go get more lights, pick up his new glasses, see Avatar, and (perhaps) do some shopping for me.

No fear though... if he doesn't shop for me, I've already purchased plenty for myself. I think I have no less than 6 quilts streaming around in my brain.

Now for the ones I've been working on!

I finished the binding on my mom's (wreckuva) quilt. There are some advantages to presbyopia, as she doesn't really notice the minty thread. I have 2 more smallish ones to bind before Dec. 23.

Steiger's blocks are finished, and they just need sashing. I think I'm going to go with a chocolate brown. He's very excited about this, as you can see.

I joined a "block of the month" club a few months ago. I finally got to Block 7

and 6 this week. My goal is to have Blocks 1-5 done this week...uh, month.

In a week, a dear friend of mine will find out if she's having a little boy, or a little girl. That will probably be the quilt I start next. But who knows (I'm rooting for girl because I have some great fabric already). :)

Steiger and the dog have got a great working relationship going already. Yes, he is feeding her cheerios.
