It's time to beat the Winter blues with some fun at Quilting Gallery. Michele is hosting another fun Blog Hop Party.
There are over 100 blogs participating offering lots of great prizes so go over to Quilting Gallery and check it out.
Welcome to everyone who is visiting here from Quilting Gallery. I hope you will stay for a minute and look around. I am a quilter and fabric dyer and I sell my fabrics through my Etsy Shop. I have lots of free tutorials on the site and you can see some of my work in my photo gallery. I also have a free monthly newsletter and you can sign up here.
Let's get on to the prize.
Today I am offering 6 fat quarters of hand dyed fabric and 2.5 yards of Mistyfuse Ultraviolet.
I know a lot of people are afraid to work with hand dyed fabrics. They are notorious for not being colorfast. I work very hard to make sure that my fabrics will not bleed in your project. You can read about my process here and use my fabrics with confidence.
If you are unfamiliar with Mistyfuse it's time you got to know it. Mistyfuse is my favorite fusible product. it is an ultra fine web that has no solvents or added adhesives to gum up your needle. Mistyfuse Ultraviolet is formulated with a UV retardant to protect your fabrics from the aging effects of long-tern UV exposure.
This prize package has a value of $37 and I am happy to ship internationally. To enter just leave a comment below telling me what your current project is...of course, you can mention multiple projects.
The winner will be drawn Saturday, March 16.
I am working on Bee blocks, a round robin, a baby quilt, and a Scrappy Trip Around the World quilt.

WHat scrumptious lookign fabrics. Question though, with Misty fuse UV if it's behind the cloth why is the UV protection relevant? I'm confused.
One of my current projects is an apron I'm calling 60 shades of grey for husbands Birthday next month. I hoep your husband is feeling better. Jane

Oh boy I hope I win your giveaway! I've been wanting to try MistyFuse for quite a while now :*) And I am always drooling over your hand-dyes when I visit your blog - such great colors!!!
Right now I am working on a play quilt for my youngest grandson, as well as a UFO called Starry Night - also interestingly made from hand dyes (but not yours unfortunately :( I started it in 2007 and I'm determined to finish it up in the next month or so!

Right now my current project is to find something I'm passionate about. I just finished a MAJOR project and have started up like 10 little projects that I just can't get into. I need to figure out what I want to get into now! So this weekend I'm going to play and try to find the next big one.

can you believe I can't get MistyFuse here in Canuckland! My current project(s) are all tops done but FMQ required. Taking Cindy Needham's Craftsy class on Design It Quilt It, which is excellent, and trying to get some quilting designed.

Besides finishing my bathroom (hey it's a project!) I am working on a tea towel medallion quilt for the 15 minutes to play challange.

Well, thank you for the generous give-away!
My current project is a very simple baby quilt with a 5 x 33 pink and white checkerboard with accents of green and maroon set in a deeper maroon background. Modern setting without the modern fabrics... just to push the envelope a little.

I've just completed the quilting on a crazy-quilt wholecloth with quilting designs as the blocks. Next I'll paint it with dilute gesso and then do a painting on top of that so the texture shows through. I'll post it on MQR when finished. Beautiful fabrics Vicki and I love Misti-fuse too.
Posted by: Jean S | March 08, 2013 at 01:37 PM
what beautiful fabrics - I would love to work with them.

I would love to try out some dyed fabric. Hmmm, projects? Almost finished with two Barrister Sow-a-Long tops, have two twin-sized turkey track quilts to machine quilt, and a pickle dish quilt I would love to finish this spring. After these are finished, I'm going to start some smaller projects. . .

The most immediate projects I have are a couple of smallish quilts that need to be quilted and bound for my guild's show in two weeks. I'm also trying to finish wedding quilts for friends celebrating their 25th anniversaries (several couple; tops were done ages since).

On my design wall I have blocks in progress for the French Roses pattern - I' m using watercolors in blues, lavenders, and yellows!
I've just completed the top for Tojours - a sweet treat pattern I bought at PIQF last October. Just need to piece the backing together for that one!

Thanks!

I'm working on organizing everything into a designated sewing space. We moved recently and i'm only just now getting a spot to put everything instead of having it scattered about the house.

I'm excited to enter your giveaway for the first time. I have been reading your blog for a while and love it! I am currently working on a paper pieced kaleidoscope quilt. The squares are 15" which I drew out and copied on a large format copier. Baby quilt and quilted pillow in the works too.

I'm working on a mug mat, by hand, because my sewing machine has decided to be contrary and is no longer working! :)
