Giveaway Day!


Welcome to my Giveaway Day post!  I'm here a day early so that you can help me celebrate my birthday too!  And I have a veritable raft of prizes to give away to three lucky winners.  

First, I have a 9 fat quarter bundle plus a panel of Monarch Flutterby by Mary Engelbreit for Andover Fabrics.


Aren't these perfect for spring?

Second, I have a $10 gift card from Fabric Depot.


AND

a one-year subscription to Quilter's Newsletter magazine...which just happens to be one of my favorite quilting magazines.


Finally, a third lucky winner will win a one-year subscription to Quiltmaker magazine...which just happens to be another of my favorite quilting magazines.


The magazines can be interchangeable if you already subscribe to one or the other.  Second winner chosen gets first pick.

So I'm going to make this real easy for you.  All you need to do is leave a comment.  You can say anything you want to, or you can answer this question:  What is your favorite fruit?  Followers (new or salty) can gain a second chance to win by leaving an extra comment telling me how you follow.  

Winners will be chosen at random.  I will ship the fabric internationally, and so the opportunity to win is open to all citizens of Planet Earth.  However, magazine subscriptions are limited to winners within the United States of America.  

After you leave your comment(s), head back over to Sew Mama Sew for more giveaways.  I'm here a day early, so you won't find them until May 6th.  This giveaway will remain open until May 10 at 5:00 p.m. (PDT).  Winners announced right after closing.  Good luck!
