Thank you and a giveaway at the end

Thank you everyone for repinning me! I am very grateful that you helped me!
Unfortunately, I didn't make it under the first ten people to fill up their repins, so no fabric for me. I must say that I found it a bit unfortunate about how everything was handled. I do understand that giving away that many bundles is too much for a business but as a shop owner myself I usually limit the things I give away (or I keep an eye on the giveaway to make sure it doesn't bankrupt me).  But I really don't want to restart the discussion here, a lot of people made their point over at the blog post announcing giveaway winners.


Now, onto happier things. This quilt was made with the help of my friends from Bee Germany and uses Dolce from Tanya Wheelan and two solids. It doesn't have any batting, just a back and a front and I simply quilted around the stars. Now I can use it as a table cloth and not just as a summer quilt.


And now onto the giveaway! In order to say thanks to you, I am giving away a small stack of Dolce by Tanja Wheelan. There are a few FQs and some Fat Eights in there as well as some scraps.
I weight it and it makes for 2 yards of fabric. 
 
Just leave a comment over the next three days and I will select a winner on Sunday. I will send it anywhere in the world.
 
 Good luck to everyone!
Johanna

  2. I was really bummed too since I wasn't one of the top 10 and invested time in trying to win, but understand her situation. Oh well. Onward! Thanks for the chance.

  5. Agree with you about the 'Pin it...' thingy... and the quilt you have finished looks very imresive. Beautiful, vibrant colours!

  7. Pretty fabric in lovely colors! I like the idea of no batting for a table quilt -- the wheels are turning, and I am thinking that maybe my genteel older cat would not believe it is a bed, put there just for him!

  17. Oh, es ist immer so schön einen meiner Bee-Blöcke in einem fertigen Werk zu sehen. Die Tischdecke ist super geworden.

  18. Der Quilt / die Decke ist toll geworden. Wollte schon fragen, ob da Batting drin ist, als Du es beschrieben hast. :) Vielleicht sollte ich sowas für mich auch mal machen. :)

  23. That is a beautiful quilt Johanna. I was really interested to see that you didn't use batting. I live in a very warm climate and although I love quilting, the quilts I make are not are not great gifts for people here as they are too hot! So next time I will try with just backing. Thanks for the chance to win some great fabric.
