shabby fabrics giveaway

Today I need to show you something ... something really pretty.  I don't know if you know this, but Shabby Fabrics is one of my all time favourite online quilt store.  I became a customer when they were only on eBay!  That was a long time ago.  Since then, they have grown to be a trusted place for quilters to shop. 

At our cores, Shabby Fabrics and Pretty by Hand have the same passionate love of all things pink, feminine, romantic, cabbage rosy and sweet posy.  You can't imagine how proud I was that Shabby Fabrics was the first retailer to carry my patterns and was also the first business to sponsor my blog. 

So when they asked if I'd like to do a giveaway this week, of course I said YES!  Have you seen their latest Christmas quilt design?  It is offered as a Block of the Month project with the option of tradition or laser cut applique.

And they were very clever to figure out how to make the same design look quite different (day & night, literally!) with just a switch of one fabric.

Genius. 

I've made many quilts like this where each block is like a mini quilt all by itself - such a fun and rewarding process.  And then when you put them all together to make a big quilt, they become a show-stopping piece of artwork for your home.

This giveaway includes 2 items: the pattern set for this quilt AND the Embellishing kit.  The 101 piece Embellishing kit is pictured below.  Look at all the closeup photos and you'll see buttons, pearls, rhinestones, ribbons, jingle bells, snowflakes and charms ... everything you need to detail this quilt to perfection.

So if you would like a chance to win the pattern set and embellishing kit for this quilt, simply leave me a comment telling which version you prefer - Day or Night.  If you sign up for their newsletter here you can enter twice.  Or if you already subscribe, you can also enter twice.

This giveaway closes on Saturday 30st and I'll announce the winner on Sunday.  Good luck to you!  UPDATE:  Giveaway now closed.

Oh, and one more thing, Shabby Fabrics is having a Black Friday Sale this week ... details and coupons will be in their Friday newsletter.

I like the night version.

Oh, this is a bad sign, I am one of the first commenters. What a lovely set of quilts Shabby Fabrics has put together. It would be one you could make twice, once in day and once in night and you are right, they feel very different. I would start with the night one mostly because I am still a little girl at heart and Christmas eve is when the magic happens at our house! Thanks for the give away and have a great rest of your week!

[Debbie]

Thank you & Shabby Fabrics for this give-away! I like the night version best!

[A Little Blue Dragonfly]

Love these! I like the daytime version best! Thanks for the giveaway! :)

[Mary L.]

I like the night version - I like the contrast it provides.

[SamanthaK]

Beautiful!!! I really like the night version--isn't it amazing the difference just switching out one fabric can do on any project? I love the embellishments. Thank you so much for sharing!

[SamanthaK]

I have signed up for Shabby Fabrics newsletter---I've seen some beautiful things on their website I've already added to my wish list :) Thanks for sharing!

[calicokat]

I too am a huge fan of Shabby Fabrics! I think I would prefer the daytime version of this quilt. Both are gorgeous, and it is amazing that only one fabric is changed to make it different! ~kat

Such a hard choice, they are both beautiful. I will choose the day version though.

[Paula]

I just signed up for their newsletter. :-)

[Karen in Breezy Point]

It's had to choose, but I think the daytime version is my favorite. What a beautiful quilt! Thanks for the chance to win.

[Christine B.]

I think they are both beautiful but I think I prefer the greater contrast that the night version gives. Thank you for the competition! :)

[Karen in Breezy Point]

I've signed up for the newsletter!

[Kathy J]

I LOVE the night version! Beautiful!

[Kathy J]

The night version, definitely. Beautiful!

[Jan S]

I think I like the night version best, although the day version is also lovely.

[Gail]

Oooh, how clever! Love both versions, the contrast in the night version and the brighter quality of the daytime version. I'd probably opt for the lighter version as it is SO dark in the north of England in the winter months that any brightness is appealing.

Thanks both for the giveaway! xx

[Melissa]

Night :-). Thank you for the chance!

[DebrafromMD]

I like the day version best.

[pat]

The day version, although both are gorgeous. Like you said each block is wonderful by itself.

[LaRue Thomas]

version

[Carol S.]

I love quilts like this--I'm not much of a quilter, but I love the embellishment part. I think I'd do the night version. I especially love the wreath block.

Thanks for offering the giveaway!

[Julie]

What a lovely quilt, those embellishments take it over the top! I especially love the day version.

[SuzK]

I am not at all surprised you and Shabby Fabrics have teamed up. I've been getting their newsletter forever and love their fabrics - I particularly like that they put color sets together 'cause sometimes it's all one wants! I've used their patterns before (their Fourth of July table runner is brilliant!) and they are very well done. In addition, they have a great multi-part applique tutorial on YouTube. This is an adorable pattern, and you are correct, different parts of it lend themselves to mini wall hangings. My preference is the "night" version and I adore the little bird with the ribbon in her mouth and the pearl necklace! How adorable! Thank you and SF for this wonderful opportunity!

[kim]

Oh how I love Shabby Fabrics....I have received their newsletter for quite some time!!!

I usually go for the whites and lights but the Night version looks so warm and cozy,,,would love to cuddle up in the Night version if I would be the lucky winner. Thanks so much for such a wonderful giveaway.

[Maria]

The quilt is adorable - I would prefer the night version :)

[Teresa S]

I like both versions, but night would be my choice :)
