Sew Mama Sew is sponsoring Giveaway Day, and we're taking part!
If you're familiar with this place, you know I've been busy working for the Pillow Talk Swap.
It inspired me, and I'm giving away a Dresden plate pillow cover!
Here's one I'm currently working on (you can ask for this one if you're the winner... It's made in Anna Maria Horner's Little Folks voile, on a linen-blend base)
Here's another one I recently completed, (for sale here), showing what can be done with a more limited palette.
For this giveaway... you get some say...Hooray!
(yes, I'm a poet and a quilter)
How to enter:
1) Leave a comment answering the following questions:
- Little folks Dresden or custom?
- Color(s)?
- Base color? (can be linen)
- A little piece of chit-chat:
2) If, (and only if), you like what you see here, become a follower. Let me know in a separate comment that you're following, and something here you liked (even if it's just my cute hubby son).
3) If you buy something from my new shop, I'll give you 10 entries...but you don't need to leave me an extra comment... trust me, I'll know.
Simple as that.
I will choose a winner randomly on May 20.
Good luck!
---------------------
Disclaimers:
- If you ask for a custom pillow, it will take a bit longer to get to you than the one pictured above which I already have nearly complete
- If the boy doesn't take good naps, it could take even a little bit longer than that... he just broke 2 new teeth through (making 10), so we *should* be good for a while
- I plan to use fabric from my stash, and don't have a lot of purple, so you might not want to pick purple
- You can't win if I can't get a hold of you!

I love the Little Folks Dresden pillow just as it is shown on the linen background. Your little guy is just too cute, love the pic of him in daddy's hat.

I just visited your blog for the first time and I love your work!
I'm follower #103.
Little Folks Dresden, definately! The work you have in progress would go perfectly in my home. A little piece of chit chat? It's FINALLY warming up in Michigan! THAT makes me want to break out the fabric and sew the days away. :)
I am following because I love the quilts and quilted projects you have made and displayed here. I especially love the dresden plate pillows you are making combined with the linen, and that cute raccoon quilt, too!
Little folks. I love Dresden plates.
Love this pillow so much - added you to my favorite sellers on etsy.
Custom - anything that matches with that darling bird printed fabric from your post on May 12th
Base color - linen
Chit chat - I love Cali so much and am jealous that you get to live there. Texas is hot.
I follow your blog - I can't wait to put into practice your tutorial on handquilting...this is a new sewing venture for me.

The dresden pillow you are working on is awesome. Thanks for the chance to win. The linen looks wonderful with this block.
I am now following your blog is great.
LOve the little folks colors!!!
- Little folks Dresden or custom? Custom
- Color(s)? Turquoise with touches of yellow and green
- Base color? (linen biege like your green pillow)
- A little piece of chit-chat: I've made one pillow and it had no design to it...the pillow swaps I've read about online are cool.
I would pick the greenish one you already have pictured. It would look GREAT in my living room!
The little folks fabric is so beautiful. If I could win I'd definately choose it. I hear it feels really soft, but i've only ever seen it online, so I would love to see it in real life. :-) I do like the linen backing. And the quilting on the first cushion is so well done. That's what I want to learn to do next. :-)
I love the red one you are working on now, but also love black if you want to do a custom one.
My newest podcast is "stuff you missed in history class". It's great for having something to talk about!
I love the one you've made but might want to do custom for my daughters new bedroom. Her colors are turquoise and pink with some yellow and green.

Your pillows are gorgeous!! I don't mind what colours, I will leave it all up to you, hopefully that will make it easier. Feel free to visit me, I make button jewellery. www.kelliechristie.blogspot.com
Little folks dresden is just fine, with a natural linen base, or any neutral for that matter other than white.
Color - blues or reds or yellows or all three :) or neutrals.
(I'm not picky).
Also I am hungry (chit chat).
I follow your blog now, as I am myself in the middle of some Dresden plates and have a small son with blonde hair and a superman shirt. :)
I like the Red Dresden your working on.. Base color linen...
HI Tracey,
I do love your header of you and the people and things that are so important to you. I also enjoyed reading your profile on the right side of your blog.
The first pattern I ever made was a dresden plate( without the pointy petals- only the round flower petals)- it was a long time ago because I was a teenager- I now am middle aged.
I love your pink Anna Maria Horner one because I do love pink- the other version is lovely too.
Your winner is going to be thrilled to win your pillow.
I feel like a winner already because I discovered your blog.
You can find me here:

Think I would go custom. On linen since linen is so in right now. I like blue/green combos that look like the sea...aqua and fern green best.
I just finished a dresden plate in pink/brown for my 2 wk old granddaughter...turned out better than I expected...love when that happens! freeindeed at myfairpoint dot net
I am a follower. I love your quilt blocks in "Adapting".
I love both of the pillows.

I love the one you´re working on, it would look great on my couch. Really like your blog. It´s my first time here, but I will come back soon.
I am now a follower. And I fell madly in love with Mollys quilt - how adorabe! You are so talented.
I love that custom pillow cover in green. I like the linen background. I just started quilting but could never make something so complicated as the Dresden Plate pattern! LOVE it!

your son is really cute...
i love that 'Hunky Dory Baby Quilt'..
I would love one in black and red, but it wouldn't really go in my house. So green and maroon it is. Thanks for asking. Maybe I'll make one in black and red for the next give away lol.
LOL. You are a fabulous poet!
I like the Little Folks just as you've pictured it on a neutral linen.
Aren't giveaways so fun? I've done this one a couple of time, but we are moving soon, and can hardly wait to participate again next year! Take your time, though, especially if your little darling is teething. ;)

I really like your work. Beautiful. I like the dresden. I love greens with a base color of tan or browns. Thanks for this opportunity.
I really like the little folks one! And linen in my opinion is great. I'm really impressed by your quilting... I'm so much of a beginner! Thanks for the giveaway!

I think I like it all. I like the dresden, but who can resist a custom?
Really beautiful blog.
saradfarris(at)hotmail(dot)com
I really like the look of the green one, but I think I'd like turquoise colors to match my bedroom. I like the background on the green one, too.
I really like the pillows. Have you done a tutorial somewhere?
Little folks dresden. I love the blue/greens in the little folks line. I love linen as a base! Great blog, glad I found it!
GORGEOUS!! You are very talented :)
I like earthtones and greens and yellows (so the one you have would work, LOL)
I sew a bit, but now quilting, and it has even been a bit since I have sewn, as my machine is dead :(
I am an artist in many other mediums.
Paper crafts is a biggie, and i am a card maker for OWH (Operation Write Home) for our enlisted in the middle east. you can check them out online or on FB or click the blinkies on my blog.
I do not envy you the teething...been there done that...My baby girl will be 23 on 7/6, my son just turned 24, and my oldest daughter will be 28 in Sept.
Thanks for this opportunity.
Be well,
Susan

Hi lovely :)
Little folks Dresden or custom?
Custom!!!
- Color(s)?
Green, for Ty's room!!
- Base color? (can be linen)
Linen
- A little piece of chit-chat:
I can't wait for Ty's quilt to come in, but take your time! I already know I'll be buying more from you! <3
That is so pretty. Thank you! I love the prints, but they don't go with anything I have, so it would need to be custom. My guest room could do with a new pillow, and the colors in there are black, white, silver, and dusty purple.
