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!

Happy birthday Barbara. So that's why you had a nap yesterday and didn't get to sew. A good move as birthdays take lots of energy. Wellcome to the final year of this particular age decade. I'm 5 months older than you and so far it has been a good year and a good age to be.
For favorite fruit, I'm in the banana crowd. I'm also in the crowd that thinks the butterfly is great in the fabric design.

Happy Birthday Barbara! :)
I hope your day is extra-special too.
I don't know that I have a single favorite fruit - there isn't much I don't like, but maybe berries of any kind is at the top, but then there's those tropical types, and in the summer melons, and the ever staples of apples & pears.
I follow you via my blog, you are linked right there on my side-bar and see when you've posted. Thanks for the opportunities. BTW, Fabric Depot is one of my favorite stores when I come up, especially on their discount day :)
Happy Birthday, enjoy your special day. I would probably have to pick peaches but I do like several kinds of fruit. I just sewed binding onto a lap quilt I'm making for our remodeled breezeway and I'm about ready to sit and stitch the back side of the binding. Thanks and you have some lovely gifts.
Happy Birthday! I love fresh pineapple.
I follow you by emails. Looking forward to keeping my fingers crossed. Oops if I do that I won't be able to stitch the binding. LOL
