I am very excited to reach a little milestone here on the blog. A few weeks ago, I passed 500 followers. At the time, I was remodeling the bathrooms, sick, and preparing to go to QuiltCon, but it did not go unnoticed. Being able to share my creations and have some interaction about what is going on in our crafting lives, means a great deal to me. I want to make sure that you know how much I appreciate each and every one of you.
I want to have a giveaway to celebrate, but I've been struggling with WHAT to give away. I know free fabric is on every one's list, but I wanted what I gave away to be a bit more personal than that. So I have decided to give away a custom mini quilt.
What is a custom mini quilt, you ask? Well, the winner and I will email each other back and forth and discuss designs, style, colors, etc. He/she will be able to choose a design that I have made before, OR even a brand new one. Perhaps even one that I will personally design myself with the help of the winner.
***This giveaway is now closed. ***
So, what do you say?
***this giveaway is now closed****
This giveaway is open to international followers.
To enter leave a comment on this blog about what what type of mini you might like (I won't hold you to it if you win). I will randomly choose a winner on Friday, March 20th. Yes, I know that is a few weeks away, but I want to give everyone a chance and I know I am behind on my blog reading too.
Now for the best part....I also just past 500 likers on Facebook too! So I am running the same giveaway on my Facebook page HERE. So if you happen to follow in both places, you have 2 chances to win! Good luck!
Thanks for reading today,
Jen
Congratulations on the 500 followers! I love all your quilts so it's hard to pick exactly what I would like should I win but I think my favorites are the Doll Quilt Turned Wal Quilt, the Foxes and the Michael Miller Challenge Quilt. I'm sure you would come up with something wonderful. Thanks for the chance and onward to the next 500 followers. Rina
ReplyDeleteWell boo for getting sick but I hope you are all better (and QuiltCon too, lucky duck). Congrats on 500 followers!
ReplyDeleteIf I won, what kind of mini would I choose? My brain kind of froze up at the idea of someone making something for MEEEEEE! Can you tell I'm giddy with the possibility?
Congratullations!
ReplyDeleteA mini fancy fox quilt would be perfect!
Whoop! 500 followers! Congratulations! I've been following you since I found your Washington DC quilt, so beautiful! I might select a tree quilt, like in your collage on this post. Thank you for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on reaching 500 followers :) Love so many of your minis…especially the doll quilt turned wall hanging or sewing mat. Thanks for the sweet giveaway!

ReplyDeletekdavis1@centurytel.net
I really enjoy reading your blog - I am subscribed by email. This is a very generous give away. I'm thinking of a quilt that would suit my home in browns, greens, earthy reds. A Mondrian? A tree? Excuse me, I need to go play with fabric...
ReplyDeleteI just adore the tree with the falling leaves. Congratulations on your milestone! That's quite an achievement!
ReplyDeleteCongrats good job!! I love your little fox quilt:) My grandsons would get a kick out of it!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your milestone. If I won I would like a modern quilt like the black/grey l one in the middle of the bottom row but with a purple or chartreus bright block or one like the flying geese in the top row.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on such a wonderful milestone. A testament to your creativity shared with us all. If I was the lucky winner I would looove a Flying Geese Colour Wheel. Thanks for giving us this opportunity.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Hopefully you celebrated at Quiltcon by buying lots of fabric! I would love to receive a mini with a botanical theme, or with foxes, or foxes hiding in trees.
ReplyDeleteCongrats of 500 followers that is awesome!!!! I absolutely love this giveaway how fun!!!!!! Thanks again!!!! sonjasmith76@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI would love some type of color wheel. My room has gray walls and lots of bright pops of color. Thanks for the chance to win! Congrats on your accomplishment...500 followers...WOW.
ReplyDelete500 followers! Congratulations and how generous of you to design and stitch a mini quilt for one lucky reader! Weeeee! I would choose a mini quilt for my sewing room in shades of purple. It would have pops of pink with flowers and swirly movement. I know I'd adore anything you'd make!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I would LOVE to win a quilt of yours, and I am in awe of the circle flying geese, so I would probably pick something like that. :) sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 500! I think the fox quilt is awesome. Any one would be great.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on reaching 500! I really love color wheel quilts. ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You have so many amazing styles of quilts. I love your flying geese color wheel. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 500 followers - that is a big milestone :-) I love the foxes and the colour wheel!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Your work is awesome. A quilt representing life spiralling out of control
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I think I would pick something to go in my sewing room, I love the foxes ...ok I love them all. But for now I will say foxes.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I love your minis. I would love one that was a modern twist on a color wheel.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on both 500+ Marks!!! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI would be honored to have a Mini Quilt made by you!! Wow! How very Special!! I would probably choose something Sewing related, or just something Colorful & Fun! Thanks for chance to win! :)
Oh my goodness! It would be foxes for me!!
ReplyDeleteI would love a rainbow mini. One of the circular designs would be very cool. Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations 500 is a lot. Let's see 500 blocks would be a big quilt. A custom mini is a very nice gift for you to give. I love your tree because I love birds but it would need to be bright for me. I also like your circle of life. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI like the circular flying geese mini.
ReplyDeleteAs a (Very lucky) recipient of a Jen Mini (The circle of flying geese, top middle of the mosaic) I can assure you this is a an amazing giveaway!!!! Jen, if you pull my name please don't ever tell me that you did but draw again, it wouldn't be fair for me to have two xxxxxxx (but seriously, don't ever tell me it happened!!!!)
ReplyDeleteGrats on 500 followers! I was looking at the mini quilts and without any hesitation was going to say the foxes as they are absolutely adorable...but then I realized the colorwheel quilt has pockets for holding tools! Then I looked more closely at the one in the middle row far right..also very appealing! So hard to choose! But in the end, I think I will go with my first instincts. Foxes.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 500 followers! I've got 13 of them, but I do not post regularly enough to earn more... ;-) I love the circle of flying gees in the middle of the top row of your mosaic, but probably I'd let you do any design you would like to try. Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry your were sick! Congratulations on 500 follows and I am happy to be one!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is truly a giveaway gift from the heart!!! I'd love to win one of your minis but choosing will be tough! Maybe we could design one together I with the theme of the Lollipop block... What do you think?
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteI love the Foxes quilt. Too cute! :o)
I'm thinking a batik mini tree quilt with tropical-color leaves. -- soparkaveataoldotcom

Congrats on 500 followers. I love Mini's, and I love your flying geese in the circle above. Thanks for such a generous giveaway.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the followers!
ReplyDeleteI think if I were to win, I'd want something kind of calm and soothing, that could hang in my bedroom. I like things that are a little creepy and melancholy too, though I haven't quite figured out how to convert that to anything quilty :D (By way of example, I have this print on my wall.)
Bright! And floral/geometric!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!

Congrats on the followers and I love this giveaway! Of the one's you posted above, I like the appliqued tree mini best, foxes would be a close second. It's mainly colors which draw me to a mini and a more "traditional" design over abstract/modern.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your milestones! What a fabulous wonderful prize.

ReplyDeleteWow that is really sweet and generous! I like the fox quilt if you are willing to give it away, but if you want to make one specifically for me, you could make one with an elephant on it.
