March Winners! and Name that Quilt Give-Away

The month of March zoomed by so fast I didn't have time to announce the Winners of the "Post your BOM Photo on Flickr" for the Vintage Sampler.  And the blocks are real winners too.  If you want to be entered to win in the April Give-Away, please post a picture of your completed Vintage Sampler BOM block HERE.  or click on this link:  http://www.flickr.com/groups/vintagesampler

Winner #1:  Pablo_67 (Bobbi)

Winner #2: 06Leka

Please email me at reezehanson (at) hotmail.com with your contact information so I can get your prizes to you!!


If you would like to participate in a kitted version of this BOM using 1930's reproduction fabrics you are in luck!  Quilting Bits and Pieces in Eudora, KS is preparing to offer this BOM (the 9" blocks) as a KIT in 30's fabrics.  I saw one of the blocks made up yesterday and it was so cute!!!  Contact the shop if you would like to participate.  They ship BOM kits regularly so don't feel as though you have to live in the KC area to participate.  They ship everywhere. 


Quilting Bits & Pieces736 Main St., Box 9, Eudora KS 66025
Phone: 785-542-2080 or toll free 877-639-2080

If you would like to do a sampler quilt with 13 of the larger blocks, you are in luck too.  Quilting Bits and Pieces will also be offering a KIT for this Block of the Month.


It will be made in BATIKS.  I am working up the first two blocks now and it is going to be lovely!  If you want to enroll in this Block of the Month (I am still working on a name for it) be sure to contact the quilt shop right away.  I believe both of these BOM kits will start in May.

I am ususally pretty good at thinking up names but for some reason the "pink and purple star BOM" just doesn't seem to be good enough. 

NEW GIVE-AWAY
