Giveaway and post 200!!!!!

I'm fashionably *cough* late on my 100 follower giveaway, but here it is. Ironically on post 200!

 So, two big milestones. My original plan was to giveaway a fat quarters, but I'm going to do a giveaway with a slight twist. Some audience participation, as it were. I picked out 2 fat quarters from my LQS during a shop hop to give away to followers. I'm still giving those away.

These are the FQs in question:
Malka giveaway

 Here's where the twist comes in. I will also give you 1 yd in addition to these FQs, in the form of either a straight yard or 2 half yards, of a line of your choosing, as long as it's available at my LQS...luckily, my LQS is pretty awesome. So, you can request more of Malka or give me a line or a designer you love (just not Melody Miller or Kokka...because as much as I love y'all, I can't manage $25 a yard with postage...) ESPECIALLY since I'm making this open to International Folks and the postage on top of Kokka would kill me.

 So....this is for followers only. Give me a favorite designer or line (not out of print) that you are loving. I'll try to make it happen if you win!

 Comments will be open until Friday, around 9pm EST. I'll mail the package out this weekend if you're domestic, by Monday if you aren't. WOoooo!!!!!! Thank you, dear followers, who make blogging fun and some of whom I look forward to meeting at Sewing Summit!

 And, for other picture-y goodness, more bee blocks: 3x6, Hive #9, for QueenSonia2001 3x6m Hive #7, for franswimmer 3x6, Hive #7, for lookswhatladyfacemade 3x6, Hive #7, for kimizaki 3x6, Hive #7, for mommaof4yoopers 3x6, Hive #7, for ChandraWu 3x6, Hive #7, for coop233

I'm really liking Ellen Luckett Baker's Quilt Blocks right now. And I'm going to Sewing Summit too!

Oh yes - I just ordered some Quilt Blocks - and I think I might need more!
Congratulations on reaching post 200 too - and more blocks! How many Bees are you in!?

What pretty blocks! Thank you for offering such a generous giveaway. Right now I'm loving those chevrons that everyone but me seems to have a ton of, or really any kind of blender/basic. Here's to 200 more posts!

I'm in love with the flea market seeds, but have yet to actually find any in a brick and mortar store. Congrats on such fabulous milestones!

Gill said...

I like your churn dash blocks! they would look great in Malka's fabric too! I'm waiting for FMF to arrive in the UK!
Congratulations on 100 (actually 118!) followers!

Congrats on your followers. I love those two blueish greys you have in the 3rd picture. Also the 2nd from the bottom you have the center block and the center right block flipped around backwards. I know they are wonky blocks, but I am sure you wanted that "bar" to go between the corners not up and down the middle. ;D

Marjorie said...

Love those fabrics! I don't have a "favorite designer" since I've been buying batiks pretty exclusively for the past few years. So if I win, just have fun picking up something else that picks up the lime green!

Jodi Godfrey said...

Ooh! That's exciting! Congratulations on 100 followers! Here's to us both hitting 200 soon! :) I'm loving AMH, Valori, Amy B, the usual suspects. And that Malka is sooo cooool! xx

Al said...

Congrats on 200 posts!
You're a bee block machine! I can barely remember one block a month. I don't know how you do it!
I'm torn right now between being super in love with Quilt Blocks and anything by Laurie Wisbrun!

Kelsey said...

I'm always on the lookout to increase the number of Kona Solids in my stash. :D

Jacey said...

Look at all those wonky shoo-fly blocks! They are great! And how exciting to have a giveaway! Those are some lovely FQs you're sharing. I just bought a couple of Malka prints recently, and I adore them all! I'd love to have more of those, ormaybe some Half Moon Modern? Thanks for sharing, Ella!

Cal said...

Nice!
I really like Denyse Schmidt and have been eyeing her county fair line for a while now.

Sharon B said...

My fave right now is Karen Snyder’s Red, White and True Blue - I haven't found it at my LQS. But it is just SEW cute. Love the BEE Blocks too!

Sasha said...

Congratulations on 200! I can't wait for the next 200!
I'm loving Loulouthi at the moment, it's quite hard to get hold of here, but i love the big "totem" prints.

Cherie said...

Great blocks they always look so great!
Congratulations on 200 posts and the belated 100 followers!
I love the Aneela Hoey prints =D

Kristi said...

Congrats and thanks for the wonderful giveaway!! I am loving flea market fancy or some kona solids!

Katy Cameron said...

Fun blocks, and congrats on your milestones (although I'm not in the least domesticated ;o) ) I'm loving the Commute line, and the Birch Organics birds and bicycles or Monsterz at the moment :o)

hueisei said...

Congrats on 100+ follower and 200 post!
I liked Flea Market Fancy ^^

**nicke... said...

great blocks ella and congrats on 200!!! i have been enamored by birch fabrics... their bicycles are so so cute!

Sana Saroti said...

Hey Ella, congratulations!!! 100+ Woohoo!!!
Your giveaway sounds great. There is a ton of great designers, but I make it simple: if I'm lucky enough to win I would be happy about some Kona charcoal, coal or ash. I always buy colorful fabrics, but forget about basics to combine it with!

Kim said...

Congratulations on some big milestones! What a generous giveaway! I love many lines and designers. I love Moda's Vintage Modern and Ruby. I also am in LOVE with Denyse Schmidt's Flea Market Fancy...
