Oh my goodness ya'll!!! Things have been absolutely crazy getting things ready for the start of school. In case you are a new visitor, my husband and I are both teachers in the great state of Texas. I am an elementary music teacher and my husband is a high school economics teacher and coach. Students first day back is on Monday, so this past week has been full of getting our classrooms ready and attending all of our in-service obligations, which means no time at my sewing machine.
And in all of the craziness, I almost missed out on the blog hop! But I did pull something together for you guys!
Let me give you a little bit of my background. I started sewing/quilting about a year and a half ago. When I first started, I had no idea what my "vibe" was. There is a quilt shop nearby that I found and it is all civil war/reproduction prints, so I signed up for their block of the month. I thought it might be a good way for me to get started, but it didn't work out for me. I am one of those people that needs to be able to read all of the directions before I ever start a project. And with this particular block of the month they sent directions for that month and the fabrics you needed. Basically, after nine months I had all of the fabric but I never started the quilt. And by the end of the nine months, I also had found the modern quilting community and had fallen in love.
Now don't get me wrong, traditional can be just as beautiful if not more beautiful than modern quilting, but my personal style leans more towards modern. And as it turns out, my "Project Wish List" is full and I don't ever see myself working on this quilt.
So here's the giveaway ....
I have all of the fabric and directions for the Civil War Celebration Quilt. It is a pattern by Thimble Creek Quilts.
The finished quilt should look something like this!
I will be sending you all of this! Each month is separated into a ziploc bag with the instructions for that month. The directions state that you can make four blocks out of one month's fabric. And there are nine months all together. Basically, what I am sending you is a civil war/reproduction quilt kit! Pretty awesome, right?!
