BOM Launch & A Luxurious Giveaway!

Well, here it is folks- a brand new year, and a brand new quilt to sink our teeth into!  YAY!  Over 15,000 25,000 of you have signed up already!!  Um, wow, I'm speechless. <insert blushing cheeks>   All I can say, is this quilt-along is going to ROCK with all you hottie's doing it along with me.

12 monthes, 20 of my favorite blocks, tons of new skills, and by December you'll have a stunning throw to snuggle up with.  No excuses- you know you have some fabric dying to be cut up, and it's FREE!


I can't lie- I'm loving the community over at Craftsy.  It's growing like gangbusters over there, and what a fun concept- awesome classes that you can pause, review, and make personal notes in any time you want, plus all your questions answered by the instructor directly, as well as comments and encouragement from other Craftsy members too.  You can even post pics of your fabric, blocks, and quilts to get feedback or just show off your mad skills.  I'm all about positive, community-building crafting- there's truly room for everyone...modern, traditional, funky, ecclectic...all you get is positive encouragement, hot new skills, inspiration, and new friends from around the globe.  Yes, please!

Um, let's talk about the GIVEAWAY!  The sweet folks over at Annette Tatum's saw that I'm doing the Block Of The Month in her new line, Boho, and offered a fabulous trendy Boho neckroll pillow to one of my lucky readers!!!

  
Aren't they yummy??  So hard to choose- I want all 3!  

There are 2 ways to enter:

          1) Leave a comment on this post tellng me which home dec piece you like best from Annette's shop,   
              as well as which pillow you want if you win.  
          2) For an extra chance, follow my blog (if you don't already), and share this post on Facebook or 
              Twitter.  Be sure to leave a 2nd comment telling me you shared. 

I'll have random.org draw a winner on January 5th!  The giveaway is, of course, open internationally.  

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit, and good luck in the drawing!  Happy New Year!!!

Hello! I am new to Craftsy (my sweet husband got me a gift certificate for a class for christmas) but I've gotten hooked already. The BOM class is awesome! I am so excited for it and love that it's free--how cool is that?!

Also, I live in the denver metro area and heard in your intro you're from the area too! I've been trying to find a quilting group since I'm a beginner and would love more help, but haven't had great luck. any recommendations you have would be MUCH appreciated!

Hey everyone sign up for Amys BOM, I did and Januarys blocks look cool, going to make mine this week to post. Now, I have to say I like Annettes curtain panels I thought what a cute shower curtain that would make. I like the purple and white pillow, my 6yrs old boy would steal it, my days of pink are over. Hope the random drawer picks me.

I love her Star Eggplant Rectangle Pillow. It would be perfect in my grey and ocre bedroom. To be honest I love all of the bolster pillows. My home is full of color so they would all look good (hint hint!)

Also, enjoying the BOM on craftsy. I am enjoying the simple blocks and giving me some time for myself. Thanks.
