Giveaway Day!

***Giveaway is now closed! Thank you so much for all your lovely comments. I am off to bed now but will draw the winner this weekend.***

I am very excited today about my first ever Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day! So if you have clicked over from there, hello and welcome. I am Hannah, I live in Yorkshire in the UK with my husband and two lovely small girls. You can read more about me here and here, if you would like to. I do hope you will stay and have a little look around, or save me to read at a later date (when you are less busy). I've only been blogging since February so not too much to wade through!

Here's my favourite finish so far this year, just to give you an idea of what I like to do.

Giveaway time!

I have decided to give away my copy of Free Motion Quilting with (the incredible) Angela Walters. It is in as new condition, primarily because it is unused. I bought it with aspirations of becoming a FMQ goddess but have to face facts; that is never going to happen. So rather than it sitting here on my shelf I will send it on to someone who will actually use, love and learn from it. 



So, what to do? Just leave me a comment please. Any comment will do, but if you are feeling wordy you can tell me how you feel about free motion quilting! I LOVE the way it looks when done well but don't find it easy to do well at all. I would still love to learn, but I enjoy piecing much more and have found a pleasing groove with simple straight line quilting so I am settling with that for now.

As I am a new blog I have a rather select group of followers. I would love it if you chose to follow me, so whether you are an old or new follower please use an extra comment to tell me how you follow. Email, Bloglovin or whatever you like the best. So that's 2 chances to enter in total :-) 

I am willing to suck up the postage costs and send this book internationally so this giveaway is open Worldwide. It will stay open till Friday May 16th at 10pm BST and then I will use a random number generator to draw the winner. If I don't hear back within 48 hours I will draw again.

***I will be emailing the winner so if you are a no reply blogger or if you don't know if you are or not please consider either addressing that OR be sure and leave your email address in your comment. If I can't contact you, you can't win!! ***

Good Luck! I am really looking forward to connecting with new people this giveaway week.
Linking up with Sew Mama Sew, go enter more giveaways, I am!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I have a love/hate relationship with FMQ. People love my quilting, and I think it is so-so. My goal is to get better. But that means I need practice. Right now, I have 7 quilt tops ready to FMQ. I better be a pro by the end!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I am just learning FMQ, and this book would be a dream. I need to read all about it.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I am in the same boat as you, but I do love to learn and love Angela Walters quilting. I will never be a FMQ goddess don't have the machine or table space for it, but I do like to add a touch to the inside of my bags and small items.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I am a new follower, because I see you are in Sibling Together and UK based, that's great! Plus your quilt just blows me away.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I'm always learning FMQ, want to practice more & more.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I love your quilt, and I adore straight line stitching, I would love to be good at FMQ but I adore sewing quilt tops, the rest is a hindrance hahahahahah that never goes together quickly or easily, well for me anyway hahahaha

    ReplyDelete
  52. I've tried FMQ and think it's fun and would like to learn more. I think I wouldn't try it on a bigger project, though. Only cushion covers and small quilts.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I made my first quilt top two years ago and it sat there as I was too scared to start quilting. I finally plucked up the courage and started straight line quilting, which looked wonderful but I was under time pressure and it took forever. So I bit the bullet and in the negative spaces started stippling. I loved it, I loved the creative freedom it gave me and when I finally relaxed it became really fun to do. I have since made two more quilts in quick succession just to be able to FMQ. Obviously I am still a beginner but I've now got the bug!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Hope the book did help you. I am still terrified and even if I got a new sewing machine last year I only put the quilting foot up once without success. I am really looking forward to at least start FMQ soon

    ReplyDelete
  55. I'm new to FMQ and I'm determined to master it so this book would be great! I tried to pin your blog to my Blogs board so i could come back and visit you later, but Pinterest won't let me pin due to "suspicious activity on this site". I think you should contact them!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I have never FMQed. Would love to try.

    ReplyDelete
  57. There lots of FMQ out there I wish I was one of them I feel that I'm back in Kindergarten trying to write name with the big pencil.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Wow - I'm very much like you, have been quilting for a few years but only do variations on straight line quilting.i do like FMQ but am really terrified of it, I haven't really to learn apart from a couple lame attempts. I'd love to try this book to help get over the fear - I've heard good things about it. Thanks for the great giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I love your medallion quilt. I'm in a Round Robin group and always looking for ideas! Thanks for sharing! I've tried FMQ, but mostly stick with stitching in the ditch.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I love FMQ! I'm no expert at it, but I love to do it when I can. I checked this book out from the library once, but it would be amazing to actually own it so I don't have to keep trying to decipher my notes...

    ReplyDelete
  71. I'm like you, wanting to learn FMQ but going back to straight line quilting every time. I would like to get some use out of my $125 FMQ foot though.... Thanks for the give away!

    ReplyDelete
  72. I have never done FMQ before but have the perfect quilt top ready to be quilted and I really don't want to do straight lines again... please book come my way and work your magic!

    ReplyDelete

    Many thanks for the chance! ;)

  79. So many quilting books I get from the library so I can utilize a one time pattern or something like that, but I would imagine I would use a FMQ book all the time. Thanks for hosting!

  81. I am an aspiring free motion goddess!! Haha clearly I am in the very beginning stages of learning and this book would be perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  82. I have been trying FMQ but it is so much harder than it looks! Good luck with your blog, by the way.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I haven't tried free motion quilting yet, but fully intend to quite soon.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I'm sorry that you don't care for FMQ but I'm glad you have found a niche you are comfortable with. Personally, I love to FMQ, I love to swirl and loop. I'm not great at staying on the same line so you can see where I have doubled over a design but heck, I always say, these are practice quilts and I've gotten a lot better. I'd love Angela's book. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  85. My attempts at free motion quilting have been disasters! I still want to learn however I would love to win this book maybe it could help me

  89. I'm trying to learn free motion quilting, but it sure isn't coming easily. I saw a short tutorial the other day with Angela Waters and she made it look so easy! I also think, though, that straight line quilting can look quite lovely also.

    ReplyDelete
  90. I'm following you by email. Also, I looked through the pictures of the quilts that you've made - very nice job! I really like the way you included all the details about the quilts - I especially like knowing which fabric collections are used in a quilt.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I'm still a beginner with FMQ. I'm happy with my stippling most of the time. But I still have lots to learn. Thanks for the giveaway.

  92. I'm a new follower with Bloglovin'. Thanks again.

  93. Love FMQ. Great giveaway. Thanks so much for sharing

    ReplyDelete
  94. I plug away at FMQ, and have been doing so for a few years. Sometimes I love what I accomplish, other times I despair that I will never get better. But I think that practice is the answer to becoming good at it. Thanks for a chance to win the book.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Your quilts are crazy good! So impressed! Well, I have been wanting to try my hand at FMQ for some time now so I thank you for the chance to win this book!

  96. Following you now on Bloglovin

    ReplyDelete
  97. I'm not great at FMQ, I would love to improve so far I have only tried it with small projects as I struggle to keep my stitches the same size.

    ReplyDelete
  98. I've only been quilting a few months and realized I stink at FMQ. I pretty much stitch in the ditch too until I can either get better or find out its not for me. I agree with how you feel, maybe if I had a longarm it would be a little easier to learn right? Thanks for the giveaway I could use some help!

  100. FMQ is really tough... I think the key is probably just to practise a lot, but to be honest, I really just want to be good without putting in all that practising time :D (Isn't that horrible?) I get terribly frustrated when I try to do anything other than a bit of a loopy meander, which is only easy because you are allowed to cross your own lines. One of these months I'm going to make a plan to practise for 15 or 30 minutes every day and see if it helps me much.

  101. FMQ, ugh. It's hard on me physically, so anything largeish gets sent out. I wish someone would come up with a quilting machine that was less than a $1,000! I'm dreaming, I know!

    ReplyDelete
  102. Looks like a great book.I would love to improve my FMQ skills.

  106. I love to FMQ. I'm just not very good at it. It is a good thing I defined my style as relaxed while watching an episode of the Merv Griffin Show while I was home sick from school in the 1970's. I also learned how to iron really well on that same show from a championship ironer who was only seven years old. Yes, apparently there is or was such a thing as competitive ironing.

    ReplyDelete
  107. I've taken a few classes on FMQ and am getting much braver! I think each quilt looks a little better than the last. Baby steps!

    ReplyDelete

  110. i have very limited experience free motion quilting, so far i've only quilted words onto things but i always love the look of it, i need to set aside some time and do some more practicing.

  113. I'm the same way with FMQ. I'm hoping this book will do the trick !!

    ReplyDelete
  114. I think we must be related. I was looking at your dot quilt, the double snowball by cluck,cluck,sew and looked at your quilting. I call this stitching the serpentine stitch and use it a lot. So funny that it is also your go to stitch.

    ReplyDelete
  115. I will add you to my Feedly list.

  116. I would love to learn to FMQ - Angela's work is fabulous!

  118. I keep telling myself I've got to try FMQ but it looks so scary. Maybe this book would spur me on.

  121. when i started quilting i decided to learn fmq at the same time. what i found to be the most help was a BOM Skillbuilders at pileofabric. so after a 1 1/2 i am confident enough to do stippling for sure, its very easy and once its washed alls good. fingers crossed, i'd love the book

    ReplyDelete
  122. i'm a new follower, i hope to start a blog later this year so i like to support other newbies.

    ReplyDelete
  123. I too have aspirations of becoming a FMQ goddess. Hoping this book will help me get there!

    ReplyDelete
  124. I am totally intimidated by FMQ, but I also love it (or at least the way it looks) so I really want to learn.

    ReplyDelete
  125. I literally came home from work tonight and found my new mid-arm quilter on the steps. I would love to have Angela's book, and hope I don't regret my purchase. I can't afford a long arm but for my own use, I'm going to give it a shot! Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  126. I agree I like the way FMQ looks but I would like to learn how to do it better . Thanks for the chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  127. I am a newbie at FMQ and really want to get better--love how it looks when done well. Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  128. I am fairly new to quilting, and would love to practice FMQ on my machine.

    ReplyDelete
  129. I've only done fmq a couple of times, but never with a proper pattern/instruction. Would love to know how to do it properly!

    ReplyDelete
  130. I'm determined to learn FMQ. It's #1 on my list!!!

    ReplyDelete
  131. Have not tried FMQ...yet! Want to learn....am such a chicken! lol Definitely want to learn all I can....am a relatively new quilter too.

  133. I want to learn free motion quilting, but so far have been enjoying straight lines. One thing at a time, I guess. I'm going to follow you too.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Following you with Bloglovin'. We will see how that goes!

    ReplyDelete
  135. i'm not a fan of FMQ on my home machine... i'd love to learn to quilt on a long arm!

    ReplyDelete
  136. i'm not following via bloglovin'

    ReplyDelete
  137. I like Angela's perspective on quilting, and have watched her Craftsy class, but do not have the book. I'd love to win.

    ReplyDelete
  138. I'm trying fmq as the project dictates but I think I need to chalk a pattern on beforehand. It turns out okay but if I want a recognizable pattern, I either need to do it 24/7 or trace patterns. I had a chance to try out long arm quilting last fall and the place I had trouble with was reversing my pattern when moving left to right and then coming back,
    Left to right was okay but right to left was decidedly wonky.
    Keep trying.
    I have two of my own SMS giveaways. Thanks for your generous (postage!) giveaway.

  139. i love free motion quilting and am working on improving my skills.

    ReplyDelete
  140. I love the look of fmq but I dont feel confident enough to try it out:p

    ReplyDelete
  141. I have been wanting to try machine quilting for a while now. I am a hand quilter. I have seen a couple of interviews with Angela, and I love her work, so this would be awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  142. I also love the look of fmq. That book would be great.

    ReplyDelete
  143. I love when other people do it, but I'm still learning. My mind knows what I should be doing, but something happens between my brain and hands. Same feeling when I brush the back of my hair while looking into the mirror standing backwards…. I guess more practice will clear out that feeling. I used to be really bad and walking and chewing gum at the same time…LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  144. I love FMQ and I've found that the more you do it, the better you get. Also it helps to not use crap spray baste like I did once...

    ReplyDelete
  145. I have mixed results with FMQing. I really need to practice on wraps until I "loosen up" enough to work on my real project. No practice...bad results.

    ReplyDelete
  146. I've been wanting to try fmq... :) this book looks great.

    ReplyDelete
  147. I now follow you via bloglovin! :)

    ReplyDelete
  151. I'd love to become comfortable with FMQ, but think it must involve HOURS of practice. :)

    ReplyDelete
  152. I am pretty new to FMQ, too. I've learned to practice, practice, practice! If you can't see mistakes as you're galloping by on a horse, don't stress over it! I've seen this book but don't actually own it. It's been on my wishlist!

    ReplyDelete
  153. I too am new to FMQ but am practicing and hope to get better and better!

    ReplyDelete
  154. • • • FM is so easy. Just start with something small. When I teach, my students start with a medium to large print fat quarter sandwich. Then just try to outline the motifs. Once you get the hang of that, you can branch out to do ANYTHING!

    ReplyDelete
  155. I have been wanting this book for so long!

    ReplyDelete
  156. Following with bloglovin. :) welcome to the blogisphere

  157. Thanks for the chance. I'm excited to see your new projects!

    ReplyDelete
  158. I need more work on my FMQ. It's definitely one of those things that takes a lot of practice and patience.

    ReplyDelete
  159. I want to learn FMQ and I'm in the UK so you should totally pick me!

    ReplyDelete
  160. I took a class once at a local quilt shop. Was not very successful at FMQ. I can do stitch in the ditch and straight line quilting and a little shadow quilting. It takes lots of practice and just as I will never be a concert violinist, I most likely reach the expertise of Angela Walters, but I will keep practicing.

    ReplyDelete

  162. I can't even quilt a straight line (yet) so maybe I can try for something that looks like it was meant to be squiggly from the start. Her book looks fun and I could sure use the help! Thanks for the opportunity.

  164. I like the idea of FMQ, because it is quick and looks nice...but I need a bit more practice before I put it on a quilt! And anything beyond stippling is impossible for me! :D

  165. Hi, I am desperate to learn/improve my free motion quilting, particularly with regard to large tops. I can't afford to send all my tops out to be quilted, so unless I learn to machine quilt effectively, my heirs will find dozens of tops unless they receive unquilted tops for weddings, babies, etc.

  172. The idea of FMQ intimidates me, so I put it off as long as I can. When I actually DO IT, it's not too bad. I do wish I could figure out stippling because I love the look of it, but I can't ever make it look like I want it to.

  180. This book would be very helpful for me, my husband has recently decided we will be acquiring a long-arm machine so I can start my own business. :D Pretty exciting! Probably still won't happen for a while yet, but you know, fun to think about. Thank you for being so generous!
