Blog Hop Party with Giveaways!

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you.

Michele over at the Quilting Gallery is at it again... She is hosting another fantastic Blog Hop Party with Giveaways!

If you are new here, welcome! My name is Ginette and I am a 4th generation quilter from the Ottawa area, in Ontario Canada. I love quilting and everything about it. Please feel free to look around, I love sharing my passion!

If you are a regular here, welcome back!

I can't think of a better way to beat the winter blues than to have a party, and one with giveaways is that much better!

This time around, I am offering a Frixion pen, some decorative buttons and a mug rug, made by yours truly!

I just bought a ticket to go see Ricky Tims on August 1st. I am so excited! It is the first time I see someone who is so well known in the quilting world!

So to enter my giveaway, please leave me a comment and tell me if you have ever taken a class or been to a lecture featuring someone well known in the quilting world. If not, maybe you can share who you would like to see some day.

I will be picking a winner via the Random Number Generator on March 14th. I am willing to ship internationally so anyone is eligible to win, as long as you leave an e-mail address so I can contact you.

Now head on over to the Quilting Gallery's Blog Hop Party page and enter the other awesome giveaways!

  1. Fun giveaway... Thank you! I haven't yet seen or taken a class from someone who is "famous", but would love to take a quilting class from Angela Walters one day just because she appears to be such a cool person! :-)

  2. Nice giveaway...I love the friction pens. I have only watched videos of Ricky Tims....luck you!!!

  3. I feel very fortunate to belong to a quilt guild that often hosts national and international quilters. I remember fondly attending a lecture by Becky Goldsmith. While on a week-long quilt trip some years ago, another group I was in was lucky enough to find Marianne Fons in her shop in Iowa. She took pictures with us and of course, we bought a lot of fabric, books, and notions.

  4. Well, maybe not internationally known, but my good friend Maureen Goldsmith is quilter/designer extraordinaire, has been Quilter of the Year for Canada, has judged at Quilt Canada a few times, and will soon be featured on some on-line quilting classes. Coincidentally her son is our son-in-law! I regularly attend at local classes she's presenting. And Joan Statz from Alberta is one of my favorite designers, and I've been privileged to attend at one of her classes at the Sewing and Crafts Show a few years back. Love your mug-rug, so nice and sunny! Thanks for the chance!

  5. Hi Ginette, I am a friend of your Aunt Rachelle. I saw Ricky Tims at Quilt Canada in 2000. He played the piano at our final banquet as well as putting on a few workshops. He is quite good. Love you giveaway. I will be a new follower.

  6. What a fab giveaway! Your mug rug is lovely and Frixion pens sound amazing but I've never seen one here! And I've only been to two very small shows where some quilts were on show as a sort of side issue. We're in such an outback in the uk, at least where I live!

    ReplyDelete
  7. I have not.. I would like to see Angela Walters and learn free motion quilting!

    ReplyDelete
  8. What a wonderful giveaway! I've never taken a class, but I've seen Eleanor Burns and Kaffe Fassett in person.

  10. I have only been to a huge quilt expo, but I loved all the ideas and samples.

  11. One day many moons ago, I was very new to quilting, and been waiting for this day for ages and fell sick at the last minute, but still dragged myself along to the lectures of Mary Ellen Hopkins whom actually invented Fat 1/4s.
    Probably didn't take in as much info as I should have, but was a great day none the less.
    Thank you for the chance to win this cute prize, Cindy Aus.

  12. I haven't taken any classes with well known quilters :(. I believe our quilt guild is lining one up for later this year. :) very cute mug rug!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Quilting is a rarity in my part of the world...its something you see in certain homes and only in recent years have we heard about quilt classes (which are really limited and very expensive to attend too). So my knowledge is basically from blogs....especially yours. Thank you for sharing your wonderful world of stitching with the rest of the world.

    Love your mug rug...so cheerful.

  14. Love that mug rug! I went on a quilting retreat last year hosted by Amanda Jean from Crazy Mom Quilts. I was new to quilt blogging at that time and couldn't believe she lived in my state! It was a little surreal. :) Thanks for the chance to win! krpaschke@gmail.com

  15. Your rug mug is adorable! What a great prize package. I am new to the quilting world so I have not really seen any speakers and have only attended classes at my favorite Quilt Shop here in the desert. So I think I would really love to see Marti Mitchell.... I am doing her BOM and using her templates and am in template love!

    I am a new follower of your blog and super excited to get to know you and learn much from you!

    Just in case my "no reply blogger" issue has not been resolved my email address is stasalynn@hotmail.com - but I do think it has been.

  18. That is a great prize package. Way back in 1989 our quilt guild hosted the NQA quilt show and I was fortunate enough to take classes from Marsha McCloskey, Ami Sims, and Judy Mathieson.

  19. I had the opportunity to attend the Ricky Tims Quilt Seminar in Rochester NY last year.

  20. Hi Ginette,
    I am too a SAHM of 2. It's fun and does give me time to quilt.
    In 2007 or 2008 I took the Ricky Time Seminar in upstate New York. He was with Libby Lehman and Alex Anderson. What a thrill! You will have a great time. Since then our local guild has had Kaye England and Sharon Schamber to talk and give classes. Both were equally stimulating and challenging and bring amazing work to share. Best wishes on your adventures.

  25. I have never been to a lecture before. My only connection is through these fantastic blogs or magazines. You are very lucky to be able to see Ricky Tims. I have never even been on a cruise or even a retreat. I just consider myself very lucky to have a computer to have access to your blogs and meet new followers. Your giveaway is very awesome and one I would like to win. Thank you for the chance you have given to all of your followers and making the Beat the Winter Blues Blog Hop so much fun.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Thank you for the chance to enter your giveaway. I am pretty new to quilting and have never seen a famous quilter before. Nut prior to quilting I was addicted to machine embroidery and did get to participate in a hands on event With John Deer of Adorable Ideas and an Event with Brian Bailey from Babylock & Designers Gallery. Those are 2 big names in the machine embroidery world.

  28. No I never been lucky enough to take a class. I hope one day to see Mabeth Oxenreider.

I'm going to Mountain Quiltfest Show next week and taking a class from Paula Nadelstern!

  30. What a sweet giveaway, guaranteed to chase those blues away!
    I've never been and probably never will be able to take in a famous speaker of quilts. Because of this, I love the internet and informative blogs:)

  37. That's a lovely giveaway. I've never participated in any quilting class or retreat, so I've never met any famous people from the quilting world. It's on my list.
    Thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I was so disappointed to hear that Ricky Timms was going to be in Ottawa on August 1'. We are going to be in Mexico for a wedding. Boo who!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Hiya - I went to the fat Quarterly retreat in London last summer, and did a class with John on wonky log cabins, and also a class with kerryberry on paper piecing...... does that count?? have fun xx

    ReplyDelete
  40. I've never seen any famous quilter... But I'd love to go on a quilting retreat and meet some!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'm a self taught quilter, my mother taught me to sew when I was 11, so at my age it was long long ago. Love your blog it looks like a ton of fun. I've not seen a famous quilter in person, did take a class a Handcock fabric's in Clarksville, In. few years ago, it was for designing your own of someone else's clothes, the class was for a sewing system that is from the Lutterloh system international. If you get the chance to go to one of these class'es I believe you'll enjoy yourself. It'll blow your mind how fast you can make up beautiful patterns for yourself, family or as a business. I believe you can get this system's tools and books and everything you need to learn it over the inter-net. i use to see Ricky Timms, on the simply quilts show, Alex Anderson had great guests there.
    If I could take a quilt class from a famous person I think my first would be Anita Shackelford, her work is awesome, I've learned so much from her Book Surface texture. Trapunto is a favorite technique of mine, stuffed and corded work takes a bit longer, but its well worth it. Happy Quilting
    Deb
    P.S. my second famous quilter would
    Elanor Burns, got to love her
    sweet personality

  43. I am a yellow lover so that mug rug is mine! I met Kaffe Fasseet way long ago when he was known only to the knitting world. a true inspiration to me regarding fearless use of colour. I know another famous quilter, Alice Chancey!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I've never taken a quilting class at all! I'd love to take one from Ginny Beyer or from Kaffe Fassett. They have amazing senses of color.

    I love that mug mat -- hexagons and yellow make me happy!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Such a nice giveaway. Thank you. I've taken classes from experts and enjoyed every single one of them. I want to learn more and more as I go along. I especially enjoyed a class with Nansi Bainard, who is a local (WA State USA) miniature quilt artist. We learned a lot that day. I hope you'll come by and visit at Prairie Cottage Corner when you have a chance. I've been following you for a while. So nice to visit.

  54. I've taken several classes from well known quilters. My favorite is Master Quilter Sharon Schamber. I am in total awe of her talent! I wish that I could afford to take one of her retreats where I could spend several days working with her, but I'd have to win the lottery first! LOL Thanks sew much for this chance to win your generous giveaway and enjoy your class with Ricky Tims :-D

  62. Wow, I absolutely LOVE your mug rug!!! I am a self taught quilter, never have taken a class. I here you can learn a lot.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I love the font on your blog. I've never been to a quilt show. I dont really like crowds, but would love the classes.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Oh how fun that you're going to see Ricky Tims. I am sure you will absolutely love it. Recently I was speaking to someone I just met at her new shop she opened who has been to see him and actually was the President of a local Quilting Guild in my area and was the lucky one to drive him around while he was in town. She said he was the most down to Earth and fun person to talk to and that if I ever got the chance to go to one of his shows that I should not miss it as they are just awesome. I have never been to his show or anyone like him. I have taken a beginning quilt piecing class however.

    Your giveaway is so fun. I love hexagons and those pens too. I just mentioned to my husband not long ago that I must get the purple one. I only have two so far but do want others. I think they need to sell a white one though. Last night I was trying to mark on black felt and my white marking pens did nothing so I was wishing I had a white Frixion pen. lol
    Thank you for the wonderful giveaway. Have fun at the show too.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I took a class with Cindy Needham. I was naive, didn't know names when I signed up, otherwise I never would have dared but it was absolutely wonderful. I have an amazing time, learned so much and enjoyed myself absolutely. She was incredible. Thanks.

  90. Long before Ricky Tims was "famous" he came to our quilt guild, and I took a class with him. It was really great, as the class was only about 20 or so students, and you really got to have some personal time with him. He even played the piano that was in the room (the class was held at a church) during the class to entertain us!

  111. I have taken a class by Mark Lipinski. He was funny and entertaining, but the Simple Simon class was a dud. He always answered questions with - "anything goes...just play" which didn't solve any problems. He did seem to be a fabulous designer though. I can't wait to take a class this spring with Libby Lehman - now that gal's got talent. Great giveaway! I love hand made items. info@explorefibre.com

  126. No, I've never been to a class led by anyone famous. I took a class on how to use a rotary cutter many years ago that took place in Pam Lintott's shop in Dorking, England and she's quite famous for the jelly roll books now but she wasn't the teacher! That probably doesn't count :-)

  127. I have taken classes from well known fabric designers -- Aneela Hoey and Lucie Summers . One was an embroidery class and the other was a fabric printing workshop. Loved both.

  143. Recently I heard the enthusiastic and inspirational Bonnie Hunter talk about her scrap quilts. I wish I were even half as productive and creative as she is. -- soparkaveataoldotcom

  144. I have always wanted to see Eleanor Burns in person. Thank you for the opportunity to win your giveaway.

  145. My bucket list would include Eleanor Burns, as she seems like she would be so patient, and Mary Fons as she seems so cool and hip :) I'd also add Bonnie Hunter, because although she is very talented, she seems so unassuming and down to earth.
