September Giveaway Time

Today's the last day of September and that means it's my last chance to have my monthly Giveaway.  Since I waited until the last day of the month, it's 3 different items for 3 different lucky winners.

3 Fat Quarters - purple & green

4 Sesame Street Fusible Iron On Christmas Appliques

One set of  20 Christmas 4" quilt squares.

To win all you have to do is be a follower or become a new follower and leave me a comment.  Easy, huh?  Of course it would put a big smile on my face if you told someone else about my monthly giveaways  too   :)

The deadline to enter is by midnight next Friday, October 7th, and the winner will be selected by my special random generator (calling one of my sisters) and announced on Saturday, October 8th.

(For you new folks and those of you who do NOT have a blog, please leave your email addy in your comment, so I can get in touch with you if you win.  Thanks.)

Have fun and good luck.

Thanks for visiting.

Hey...wanna win a FREE Giveaway??

Since I didn't do a FREE giveaway last month, there will be 3 separate prizes this month.  Why 3?  I don't know........guess I just like that number better.

1.  30 Lime Green Fabrics 5" Squares - (one of the many sets/colors for sale in my ETSY Shop) - These are die cut with my GO cutter.  What??  you didn't think I'd  mention my ETSY Shop??? or my AccuQuilt GO cutter??.....(you gotta be kiddin' me!) 

2.    4 Coordinated Fat Quarters, one with a sewing theme.  I've just got a small amount of this sewing theme fabric left in my stash, so thought I'd share.  I made a lot of different things with it for my sewing buddies as Christmas gifts several years ago and it's no longer available.

 

3.   Paper Backed Fusible Appliques cut with my GO cutter - Fall theme; leaves, acorns, pumpkins & one black cat.  (FYI - in case you don't win this set of appliques, they are available in my ETSY shop too.)

To get a chance to win one of these Giveaway Freebies all you have to do is become a new follower of my blog and leave a comment.   If you are already a follower, then GO tell someone come back here, leave your comment then tell me you did that.  You're on your honor here.....I'm not your mother, ya know? 

Want more than one chance??  GO  (I love my AccuQuilt GO cutter and love to capitalize the word when I use it in my blog!)  tell another person to follow my blog for a chance to win a freebie, then tell another person, another person, AND another person, etc.  Each time you tell someone, come back here and leave a separate comment.  (Posting this on facebook, twitter or on your blog will count too.....just leave a separate comment each time.)  

This giveaway will end at midnight on Tuesday (8/16/11) and the winners will be randomly chosen by number and announced here on Wednesday, August 17th.   Have fun with it and good luck.

Thanks for visiting.

GIVEAWAY & GO BABY from AccuQuilt Was Born Today!

Today's the last day of the AccuQuilt Bloggers Blog Hop,  so I will be sharing my hints/tips and GIVEAWAY below.   We hope you've enjoyed our Blog Hop and learned some new things you can do with the AccuQuilt Cutters.  Be sure to visit Beautiful Seams blog post too.  Thanks GO to Sew Cal Gal for creating this blog hop....it's been fun.




BUT, ................first.....tada  tada  (drum roll, please!)            It is my great pleasure to announce that  the new GO Baby.......from AccuQuilt was born this morning.    How exciting! and I'm so privileged to be able to share this wonderful news with you.  (Just click on GO Baby words to see the video)

GO! Baby and GO! side by side for size comparison!

Along with the birth of GO! Baby, 10 new dies were announced,  including a smaller tumbler die, dog, cat, more flowers,  more triangles & a 2 1/2" strip cutter for GO! Baby.  All of these new dies will fit both cutters. 

Congratulations to AccuQuilt! 

Now.....my post for our Blog Hop and my Giveaway.

All the standard size GO cutters come with a Value Die,  which has 3 different shapes; 2 1/2" square, 2" finished triangles, and 4 1/2" square, and a 10"x10" cutting mat.  I know every GO owner gets excited about the different appliques, the strip cutters & designer dies.......but this Value Die is wonderful too!  Let's take a look at it. 

This Value Die is the one I like to use to cut my small scraps into useful shapes.

You can fan fold your scraps & cut up to 6 layers at one time.  It's okay to let part of the scraps hang over the end of the die.

You can see by my cutting mat, I've used this die many, many times.

There's very little waste....and you've got scraps cut into useable shapes.



I've cut a lot of my white muslin scraps using the 2 1/2" triangles too, just didn't show them.  They stack & store very easily in a plastic tub.

And what can you do with them??  I know you'll think of lots of things to make with them.  I have a lot of fun making small Dolly Quilts to sell  in my ETSY store.  

For this Giveaway and the end of the AccuQuilt Bloggers Blog Hop, let's make it easy, peasy;  Just follow my blog, tell me;  leave me a comment on this post by midnight Sunday night - 10/3/10.    The winner will be randomly chosen and receive 100 of these squares;  plenty to make a small Dolly Quilt, placemat, or table topper.   Remember...to leave a way for me to contact you. 

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you've had fun on our Blog Hop.    Now GO take a look at AccuQuilt's  new family addition.

Disclosure:  I am not being compensated for these blog posts or the blog hop, nor am I being compensated for posting about AccuQuilt's arrival of their new GO! Baby.  I just love my GO cutter and enjoy sharing about it with you.

GO WINNER! Today's the Day!

With being on vacation in California at my son's, I wanted to announce the winner of my GO Giveaway in a special way.   Here we are on my first day here...just had to GO to the beach.  I got my shorts wet too!

Let's GO take a stroll and think about life........fills my soul.

Surf and sand.......nothing better for my kind of vacation.

Ok...ok...enough of me in the ocean.  You want to know who won the GO, don't you?

We had to set the scene...Candles...crystal bowl with all the numbered entries.   Life is just a bowl of cherries, (fun & to be enjoyed).  On my mesh bag...   "Any day spent sewing is a good day".  There's my Christmas fabric circles cut with my GO for making yo-yo's and stored in my mesh "sewing day" bag. 

My son drawing out the winning entry.... and............

It's number 65!   Who is number 65?





The  suspense is building..........






Oh!  I'm being mean, teasing you like this.........fun for me! 





Drum roll please.............ta da....ta da....ta da....




Congratulations to: 



Maxwells who entered on 8/13/10 from Wilmington, DE and has a blog Thompson Family Quilts.  Please email me your name & address so I can contact AccuQuilt to send you a Free GO cutter and 3 free dies of your choice.

Thanks everyone, it's been fun!

Let's GO again for the FREE GO Giveaway!

How would you  like this free GO cutter by AccuQuilt delivered to your house by the Big Brown Truck??

Then you could GO and cut lots of quilt strips, squares, triangles like these! 

Thanks to the great generosity of AccuQuilt, I am able to offer a GO cutter to some lucky winner of my special blog giveaway.  I feel very honored to be able to do this.   AccuQuilt and this machine has completely changed my entire life as a quilter, and I'm very thrilled to be able to give this opportunity to someone else in the quilting world.  To enter GO back one post or click on the picture on my side bar at the right hand top of this page.

It is so exciting to see the number of people who have already entered and complied with the rules of the giveaway.   GOod for you!   AND..today, I feel there is a need to clarify the rules again.  There have been several people who are NOT following the rules and completing all 5 requirements to earn an entry for the Free GO cutter.   

Hey,  my friends, this is not rocket science and you don't need a special degree in contests, or quilting, or reading to do this.  It's  sew simple;  GO read, & FOLLOW THE RULES then leave your ONE comment.

If  you think you have already entered, I suggest you GO back & read your comment to make sure you have met all the rules.   In all fairness to those people who have followed and complied with the rules,   it has become necessary for me to disqualify the names of the people who have not/do not follow the rules.    I've tried to send personal emails to those people so they could GO back and edit/delete and do it correctly, but this has become way too time consuming for me to continue doing that.  Hey...boys & girls,  I want to do some cutting and quilting!    Cutting with my GO cutter is fun!  

5 easy things to answer in ONE comment .......and YOU could win a GO cutter!  Wow!
1.  follow my blog..and tell me.
2.  follow me on twitter...and tell me.
3.  become a friend of mine on facebook...and tell me.
4.  GO to AccuQuilt's facebook and become a fan or "like", and tell them "sewfunquilts sent me"...then tell me.
5.  GO to AccuQuilt's website, look at the GO.  Tell me which two features you like about the GO.

Ok..that's it.  Thanks everyone, GO have some fun today, GO read the rules, GO leave your ONE comment to get an entry to win a FREE GO cutter from AccuQuilt.  Good luck.

(I wonder how many time I said the word GO??.....tee hee.  See, GO cutter is fun!)

Are You Ready to GO??

Are you ready??   

Today's the day for the start of my GO cutter giveaway, thanks to AccuQuilt and their wonderful generosity.    

I want to thank the many of you who voted for me in Bejeweled Quilts Barb's GO Giveaway back in June when I won a GO Cutter from AccuQuilt.  Ever since then, my blog followers and other quilters I know have teased me about how much I capitalize the word GO in all my posts.  It is just so fun.......can't help it.  Now, it's my turn to pass that GO 'torch' to another lucky winner on August 31.

I'm going to keep it easy for everyone, with just a few rules:

You will be leaving only ONE COMMENT on  today's post and you will include a few easy components in this ONE COMMENT to qualify for an entry.   

This Giveaway ends on August 31, 2010 at  12 noon.  The winner will be announced later that day.   People who already own a GO or Studio Cutter from AccuQuilt are not eligible.

2.  GO  to Facebook, become one of my friends by sending me a request to become a friend,  then tell me in your ONE comment:  http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1233944773  My FB account is under my name..Judy Chain.   (If you don't have a Facebook page, now's the time to get one set up....it's easier than you think.) If you are already a fan of mine, then tell me in your comment.  (If you want to post about this GO Giveaway on your Facebook page, many thanks.)
3.  GO to Twitter, become one of my followers  and tell me in your ONE comment:  http://twitter.com/sewfunquilts  (If you don't have a twitter account, it is easy to create one...besides, it's fun!)  If you already follow me on Twitter, tell me in your ONE comment.  (If you want to tweet about this GO Giveaway on twitter, many thanks.)

5.   GO to AccuQuilt website  http://accuquilt.com  and check out the GO cutter; demos,  projects,  patterns, videos & dies.     Tell me which TWO features of the GO cutter you like the best for you., and WHY.  (Don't forget to tell me the why...ok?  I'd hate to have to disqualify you for not including that info in your ONE COMMENT.) 

So, to sum it up a bit for you.  You will be leaving only ONE COMMENT for ONE ENTRY here on this POST only, and your comment must include all 5 of the above requirements.  Those that do NOT adhere to the rules and include all 5 components will be disqualified.  (Sorry...that sounds so harsh.  But...hey, we gotta follow the rules in life, so follow the rules to win this Giveaway.)

Thank you sew much, AccuQuilt, for giving me this opportunity for a fun GO Giveaway.  They are also giving me my choice of 3 Free GO dies for doing this Giveaway and promoting this fabulous fabric cutting system....called the GO cutter.   I will be sharing some projects with my new dies in the future.  AccuQuilt is absolutely outstanding for hosting these promotions, their innovative marketing, friendly personal customer service ......and they are just plain fun!   

Good luck everyone and I hope you have fun!
