let me quilt that for you


Unfortunately for most of us that's not something Ryan Gosling's going to be whispering in our ears anytime soon.

But I am.  I want to quilt for you.  For reals.

Here's the score.  Do you have a top just waiting to be finished, a design you've put off because you know you'll never quilt it?  I want to quilt it for you, so I've decided to do a giveaway.  I'll pick two projects (one smaller than 60" by 60", one larger) and custom quilt them on my longarm.  Together we'll come up with a quilting plan to best accent your quilt, and I'll quilt it for you within a month of receiving the top.

pins & bobbins

What do you have to do?  Write a post showing the top you'd like quilted, why you'd like it quilted, maybe some ideas of how.  Publish the post anytime this month, including my chelsea quilts giveaway button and linking back to my blog.  If you win, provide the quilt top, back, and batting (back and batting must be 4" bigger all around than the top) and pay for shipping in both directions.  I'm in Canada so keep in mind that shipping might be more expensive and slower than in the US.

July 1st I'll open a linky party where you can link up your posts for one week.  Then I'll let mr random pick 2 winners.  This should be fun!

  3. Holy cow! Awesome giveaway! I have two twin sized monsters I would love long-armed, but they are for my twins. So I don't think I can have one quilted LA and the other on my old machine. That poor boy would definitely know mommy made it. Maybe I can get this English Paper Pieced project done in a month (HA!).

  18. What an awesome giveaway. I wish I had a quilt top though. :( I'm a very slow sewer, so there's no chance I'll be able to jump on this one. So sad. :( Maybe you'll hold another . . . or maybe get Ryan to have a party???
