QUILTY GRAB-BAG GIVEAWAY!
Soo…
When we wrap a Quilty shoot — like we did last Tuesday — there’s lots of cleanup to do. We have demo materials that need to be put someplace, supplies that need to be restocked, etc. There’s a lot of stuff that actually kind of doesn’t have a home anymore because…well, we’re done with it.
“We should give it away,” said Rebecca Fons, my kid sister and producer of Quilty.
“You are so right,” I said. “What should the giveaway be?”
“I think,” said Rebecca, “That it would be cool to see what people have been inspired to make because of something they saw on the show or in the magazine.”
“Brilliant!” I said. Then I ate some toast.
So that’s what we’re going to do! We have not one, not two, not three or four but FIVE boxes of Quilty goodies to give away! If you were inspired to start your own “Pink Waves” quilt because you saw it in Quilty magazine, post a picture of what you’ve done on Facebook. Were you inspired to make a “Pie N’ Crust” baby quilt because you learned about curved seams on Quilty the show? Show us! Post a picture! The first five people to post a pic of something they made or are in the process of making because of Quilty, will get one of these boxes. Cool, right??
These boxes are full of good stuff. Full of things like:
+ demo materials (also known as “step-outs” which are sample blocks, pieces and parts of blocks, cut pieces, etc. for showing how-to’s on the show — you could totally use them to start a whole new quilt.)
+ notions (scissors, marking tools, etc.)
+ patterns
+ extra fabric
+ miscellaneous STUFF (all sewing related, of course)
I personally separated the goods into five equal-as-I-could estimate boxes and they are ready to ship. Each box is different, not every box has all the stuff I mentioned above, but definitely some of it and, as I said, they’re all equal, value-wise. I can’t really put a price value on them because…well, I just don’t want think that hard, but they’re worth a few shekels, trust me.
Fun, right??
So do it! Rebecca will monitor the FB page and make sure the first five peeps to do this get their box. And keep watching the blog and the page because there may be more boxes on the way… We need to do a little more spring cleaning! And hey, if you miss the boxes this time, or if you’ve already shown us stuff you’ve been inspired to make, don’t be sore at all — you’re absolutely as special as anyone who gets a goodie bag this time around and we always, always love to see that you’re using Quilty in your life.
xo,
Mar
p.s. Check it out! The five boxes and one sneak peek…

Winning a gift box filled with all the thisngs that make a quilter Happy would really make my day!!!!
I would love to win something from you guys. I love your stuff.
This is awesome!! I posted a photo of my quilt top inspired by Quilty’s modern styles.
Hey Quilty! Love your show and hope for some give aways!
Great magazine. Love the tips and patterns.
I have a picture of my two grand daughters with their back packs…much inspiration came from your articles, blog and magazine to encourage me to make these for them last summer.
Thanks for the inspiration..how do I post the picture???
I amposting a picture now of the the project from your online class – pienceing curves in log cabin blocks.
If I’ve only thought about what I’m going to make and send a picture of my head, does that count?
I found quilty at my local grocery (albertsons) i love love love it and want to win a giveaway
I found Quilty at my local Walmart. I love it and would love to win a giveaway.
I started watching quilty online since we don’t do much TV here in Alaska- ill post a pic on Facebook- but I am having the greatest time making a scrap piece quilt that I saw Aon one of the episodes- so much fun just willy nilly sewing scraps together as I pull them out of the scrap bag and squaring them off- there is such beauty in the chaos!!!
Ha! Susan, I love it. For this giveaway, we’re looking for cold, hard evidence — but this put a smile on our face! Do ideas count as UFO’s?
Just started quilting @ 60. Picked up your magazine and was excited to see all the projects and tips inside. Can’t wait to try something at my skill level. Remember us novices, and keep up the good work!
Soooooo cool!! love Quilty and the giveaways.
I’ve done for pie and crust blocks so far for a wall hanging, but can’t figure out how to post a picture.
Mary! My quilting trouble is this….My mother in law promised to stitch me a quilt and asked me to choose fabrics, so I PurcHased four fabrics only to discover she really had planned to sew two bed sheets together! So I sheepishly put the fabric away. During the year of our 25th wedding anniversary I took out the fabric, took Class to learn the Bourgoynes surrounded quilt! I am nearly finished and weird or not I won’t let myself start another qult til this one is done! (this hasn’t stopped my stashing of fabric and patterns and quilt mags) if I were to receive a box it would give me incentive to finish my quilt because of course I wouldn’t open it til I was finished quilt top!
LOVED the first issue of Quilty
and would love to win (someday)!! Keep up the good work!
I posted my Prairie Point Pizzazz on FB I finally got the borders right after watching your episodes on borders. Thanks
I made a queen size string quilt after watching your show on them…love it but it is at long armers being quilted so no picture…but it is so addictive I want to make another one as a wedding present for my son so more scraps of fabric would be wonderful…sherrill
Stuff YOU and possibly YOUR MOTHER started,yeah,I WANT IT!!!!!
Just watched your Quilty show on stretches for quilters! Love it! I found this on the side of the blog page. Would love a chance to win a box of quilting goodies from our show!
:0)
I saw an episode you did regarding modern quilts. I am new to quilting and I really like the look of the modern quilts but really had no idea how I wanted to approach it. I am one of those that chews and chews on an idea before actually putting it into the works. After watching the episode, I am now pretty sure of the direction I want to go. Thanks! I may have been stuck a LOOOOOONG time if it had not been for watching that episode!
I’ve just discovered your magazine at my local bookstore & I can’t wait to get started. I look forward to your next giveaway so I’ve had time to make something.
I love the new magazine! I would love to make a QOV in the star/chain pattern as seen in your mag. Is there a pattern available? Thanks! I’m looking forward to future online segments & magazine issues.
I haven’t made anything off of quilty yet. That is my next project, is to find one of the patterns & make it off of Quilty. I try to do just one project at a time, so that I don’t get overwhelmed. I still learning to do a bunch.
Your tips make me feel like a professional quilter! Love to read all the tricks & tips. I wish I could live long enough to quilt all of the patterns I have collected!
nice
what a great idea!!
Hey I learn so much by watching your show… just love Quilty… keep up the wonderful work
I would love to receive one of your giveaways!! Your magazine is SUPER!! Look forward to many more issues!!
I just got an issue of Quilty Magazine and it is so cool! Very laid back and easy going are two thoughts that popped into my head when I browsed the magazine. Which I love! It helps me think creatively when I’m not wound so tight. So thanks!
I’m working on the Checkers.Enjoyed your magazine. But haven’t got far enough to have anything except stacks of block squares. Can’t wait for the next one.
Ideas are USO’s – Un-Started Objects. I’ve got plenty of those!
we could really use the give-away for the children,of woodchuck academy of Fayetteville,n.c. thanks in advance. we love your show!!!
Ohh, I wish my camera worked!
Am I too late? I’m a brand-new rookie – well, not to sewing, but to quilting. I’d love one of the give-aways to help get me started!
I just posted a picture on the Fonsandporter website Facebook of a tablerunner I made after seeing the curved piecing program. Also used the templates I had ordered from F&P. Such fun and not hard at all.
Hope this qualifies me for a mystery “box” giveaway. Just love surprises ! Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
I would love to win one of your boxes. I really like your notions!
Oh my gosh I totally love the term USO’s, it describes me to a T

Waitong to win!,,
I saw your giveaway box. Is it possible to put in a request for our church’s Comfort Quilters Group or a shop in town that does Quilt For Kids sewing days. If I were extremely greedy, I would ask for one for myself and possibly share it with my sister and brother in law (he is also a quilter). I am only a beginner.
Hey, Linda! The giveaway is all done, but keep checking the blog — we’ll definitely do more. I suspect it will be a “first come, first served” kind of thing because answering specific requests might be seen as unfair to others. But we think it’s awesome you’re beginning to quilt and awesome that you have such a generous spirit. Thank you!!
I am not good on the computer such as facebook I can do minor things. I am truly interested in receiving a box I watch and record all your programs and also receive your magazine. I have cancer and quilting is my interest. I quilt lap quilts and sell and give to young cancer patients. I know you dont answer specific request but if you can do give aways throug e mail I can do that . You are great and very informative. keep showing and I will keep watching
Hi , could you tell us who won the contest ? I haven’t seen the pictures or names anywhere.
thanks,
I enjoy all of your programs. Your tips have been an inspiration many times over. Keep up the good work, now that I’m retired, I hope to be able to do more quilting and, Mary, you are as cute as a button.
Well, your show has really inspired me to try to quilt. After the scappy quilt you did I really think that I can do it. I’ve never tried to sew a quilt before, so wish me luck!
I enjoy seeing the programs on my PBS station. I’m a starter of much and finisher of some. Thanks for the chance.
This is a pink heart quilt inspired by your pink curvy quilt. I always need grab bag things to work with. Especially tools. Lookin kin forward to getting a box to make small quilts with.

I love Quilty. It’s very informative and fresh.
I would love to have one of your boxes as a starter for teaching my 11 year old granddaughter how to quilt. We all need to teach them young so that our creations will live on.
Hi,
What a blessing it would be to win a free box. I love your show and blogs..I love to learn new things, even as an old gal…thanks
I also would like to be considered to win one of your boxes that you have put together. I’m starting my supplies for quilting very slow and would like to have some rulers,cutting board, I still using scissor. Oh please help me!!! Love your show!!
Hey, everyone! The giveaway has been closed for a little while, now, so no more winners on this one. We’ll be doing it again and again, so keep watching this space! Well, not this one. Just the blog. You know what I mean. Thanks, all!

A surprise box; this would be sooo much fun!
I have been watching quilts shows and took Joanne’s quilting 101 last night. I am so excited, I want to quilt, quilt, quilt. I have you and Fons and Porter on my DVR. Winning something about quilts is great for any of us out here in quilt land.
