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.

Both day and night are just magical but if I had to choose probably day. It would probably fit into my decor just a little better. Fingers crossed. 🎀

I love this shop, just got a parcel from them yesterday. I would make the night time version if I won cos it is night here in Aussieland when you are enjoying day.

As a mommy of five, night is the only time to get Christmas magic accomplished! I would LOVE to make the night version with traditional appliqué! I find it so relaxing and therapeutic!

Oh what a lovely challenge for next Christmas, I would love to have the nighttime version, it reminds me of the anticipation of Christmas Eve when the children were all young and eagerly awaiting Santas visit. It do hope I win as It would become a family heirloom. With thanks Krystyne and a happy Thanksgiving to you all. Love Ann x

While both versions are special, it seems that the magic of Christmas comes with the lights against the dark. So I would chose the night one.
