23 May Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day
Welcome to everyone from Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day!
I’m giving away this pillow cover I made. I love the grey and off-white – so clean-looking, serene and summery! I used Kona Medium Grey and Snow and it fits a 16″ pillow form.
Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaways are open until May 25. I will be happy to ship internationally if that is where the winner lives 🙂 So, to enter, leave me a comment and tell me whether you are a beginning, intermediate or advanced quilter. I’ll select the winner randomly after midnight US EDT on May 25.
For those of you who aren’t the lucky winner – if you really like this pillow, there is a free pattern download in my sidebar 🙂
Good luck to everyone and thanks for visiting!

babalisme
Posted at 02:56h, 25 MayI'm a rookie! I am not used to quilting, and I'm really busy with my day work too so I'm taking very little step at a time, unfortunately you can't take quilting anywhere like you do with knitting. well, I could, but people would stare and the fabric would be scattered all over the streets.

Homo minutus
Posted at 19:22h, 24 MayI'm loving finding all these lovely sites today! Thanks so much. I'm pretty much a beginner quilter although quite good at sewing clothing so I'm hoping to transfer some skills 😉
Christie S.

I guess I'd call myself intermediate!
Liz
Posted at 17:05h, 24 MayI'm a very beginning quilter – as in I've wanted to do something for a long time, but haven't actually started yet! I'd like to start with something really simple – maybe just big bold blocks of color. This might be the summer!
Jennifer
Posted at 16:22h, 24 MayI guess I'd call myself intermediate… I've made four quilts.
redheadsandspreckles
Posted at 15:39h, 24 MayThe pillow is simple and elegant. I am a beginner quilter…as in, I've thought about quilting a lot, picked out fabric, conceived an idea about what type of quilt I'd like to make, and even cut some fabric. However, a quilt has yet to be made. Some day. Thanks for the giveaway.
rosewendy
Posted at 15:29h, 24 MayI'm a beginner quilter but sew quite a few other things. The pillow looks a simple pattern but I bet that is deceptive. All those straight lines would show up mistakes I bet.
mooncalf
Posted at 15:24h, 24 MayI'd love to be entered. I love your quilting – so striking and modern.
Sarah
Posted at 14:52h, 24 MayWow! Wish I could sew as good as you! I'm a beginning quilter

Sasha
Posted at 07:09h, 24 MayI'm definitely a beginner, i finished my first quilt (Sherbert pips fabric) this weekend. I've almost finished a rag quilt this week, but i don't think that counts and I'm working on some baby quilts with the scraps left over. I'm hoping to reach intermediate stage in a year or so (or maybe 20 quilts whichever is sooner!)

Aim
Posted at 01:15h, 24 MayI love sewing and I make a ton of bags and stuffed toys. But I haven't been brave enough to try a quilt, I have wanted to for a long time, I'm just scared to try a quilt. So I guess I am a pre- beginner.
