Fall Into Fall Giveaway

Are you all ready to play?? Here we go. See that Scarecrow on my side bar? That's your gateway to TONS of giveaways going up all over blogland today!! Click on it and it will take you to the master list of giveaways, including giveaways from the Fat Quarter Shop, EQ and even my friend Cori's shop, Crazy Quilt Girl. So without further ado I will post my humble giveaway. I thought long and hard about what to offer. I considered the things I like and in the end PTM came up with a brilliant idea so here goes.
You should all know how much I LOVE Halloween right? So my giveaway is a Halloween Schlep bag (made by PTM). But wait there's more, see that green and white paper inside the bag? That is the pattern Fair and Square from none other than Amanda Jean of Crazy mom quilts and wait for it...wait for it...you will get an autographed copy of her pattern!!!!! How amazing is that? But wait there's more. In the second photo you will see some Halloween fabrics on the large piece of black fabric. I cut out enough 6.5" squares to make the quilt along with 2.5 yards of black Kona Cotton for the sashing and the binding (this I did not cut). All you need to add is a back and you will have a quilt!!

I am so excited to be able to offer this as a giveaway. Thank you PTM and Amanda Jean!

Now for the business information. To enter, just leave me a comment telling me your favorite part of Halloween. It would be great if you would become a follower and I will give you another entry if you do that just leave a second comment. For a third chance to enter, go to PTM's blog and become a follower of hers, come back and leave me a comment telling me you did so. I am going to limit this to just USA for shipping. Things are a little tight at the Spark's house at the moment so sorry about that everyone not living in the US, I really do still love you all. Please be certain I have a valid email address for you so I can contact you if you are the winner. If I can't find you I will have to draw again.

The drawing will close at midnight (EST) on Oct 15th and I will draw the winner and post on Oct 16th. I will be going out of town on the 17th for a week but will do the shipping when I return.

Now go forth, enter all these wonderful giveaways and good luck on this one!!

Oh and can I just tell you that if you have the latest edition of the McCall's Quilting magazine...I'm in it!! On the design star page. Just wanted you all to know.

Farm Quilter said...

I loved making my girls' Halloween costumes. Of course, when they would come home, I would have to check their candy and put all the chocolate in the freezer (well hidden, of course!) for later consumption...by ME!!

Thank you for participating in the blog hop and giveaway.

my favorite part of halloween is freaking out all the little kids! I know - I'm evil - self aware on this. LOL

deborah said...

On Halloween, we have 700 to 800 trick-or-treaters, and put on a big display in our yard, so much fun to see the children's faces! Also, we visit a big Victorian House nearby that displays 4000 carved and lighted pumpkins!

Kelli said...

My favorite part of Halloween is two-fold. One, I LOVE making costumes for my kiddos and working through the creative process of choosing a costume and designing it together. Second, Halloween is my husband's birthday, so we love to celebrate with him before trick or treating!
Thanks for the great giveaway. Who doesn't love Amanda Jean and Halloween?

I love the little kids that come to the door to trick-o-treat. I like to lower the candy bowl to have them pick out what they want. Fun to see who picks what, who thinks vs just picks and who wants to grab it all. They are all so cute.

Jean said...

That is a great gift. Our favorite part is going to our daughter and son-in-laws house and watchig our grandkids trick or treat. All the neighbors are out if the weather is good and they have a beer keg and wine on the back of a golf cart and go around and offer drinks to the neighbor grownups and great candy for the kids. A great neighborhood Halloween party. Of course some people come from other neighborhoods and get in on the party too. Never enough drinks to make anyone feel bad the next day but just something to warmup the grownups who aren't as active as the little ones.

StitchinByTheLake said...

My favorite part is the children of course, and in particular my grandchildren in their costumes. :) blessings, marlene

My favorite part of Halloween these days is all the cool decorations. I try to make a new Halloween project every year. This year I'm working on a small quilt that I will use as a tablecloth.

neece quiltqueen1@bluemarble.net My favorite part of Halloween is the costumes. I love to see all the creativity. One year I made a bunch of costumes for friends and myself. The best was the Grim Reaper. Everybody loved it! I'm sure not as much as I love your generous giveaway. Thanks

Laura said...

For the last three years, my favorite part of Halloween has been taking the boys around the neighborhood - and watching their faces as they saw the other kids in costume and had people gave them candy! This will likely be the first year that they actually "get" what Halloween is. I'm a definite haunted house fan, but that's a couple years off now.

Joy said...

My favorite part of Halloween is watching the kidos pick out their costums. My granddaughter is going as a flamingo for the second year in a row.

~Lavender Dreamer~ said...

My favorite thing? My grandsons coming over to collect some candy in their sweet little costumes and posing for photos, of course! Thanks! Love that precious bag! ♥

I love dressing up in costume. I have had some really crazy ones over the years. Since it is my favorite holiday as well, I have lots of great decorations and great gags for visitors to my house. Our kids, grandkids, and greats always look forward to a few scary things! Love your gifts.

Our favorite part of Halloween as kids was rigging the doorbell, so the dog didn't have a heart attack by the end of the night. It became a contest on what we could insert in there to make a crazy sound. Nerdy I know!

favorite part of Halloween, teaching the grandkids how to carve a pumpkin.

I am entering for my daughter Mel, her computer is down and she called and asked if once again I would enter her in contests, I couldn’t say no as she helps my wife and her mother with their charity quilting projects. I try to support them any way that I can.
