| 11 Fun Black and White Fat Quarters |
Today we are participating in the Blog Hop Party With Give-Aways. Sponsored by Quilting Gallery we participated in the last one and had such fun I had to do it again.
Here is a better look to see what they are.
To enter, I want some help setting a new goal for Richard And Tanya quilts. I am new to quilting (Me speaking of Richard) and Tanya is even newer then me. I made my first test quilt and finished it on Christmas Eve last year. My first full size (baby quilt). Yes I have a few issues with making big quilts (I have made over 50+ baby or lap quilts). But I have made up for the lack of size in the quantity I have made.
This is a collage of just a few (21) of our quilts that we have made this last year. My goals for this year (2012) was to make 52 Quilts in the 52 weeks of the year. I am proud to say that I have exceeded that number. You can see some above and more can be found on my Quilt Finishes Page. Though most of Decembers have not yet been added.
So to enter you have a few options.
---------------------------------------
1) Leave a comment listing a suggestion for a goal for quilting in 2013.
2) (Bonus Entry) If you follow Richard and Tanya Quilts, tell me how you follow.
3) (Bonus Entry) If you like my quilts find your favorite on my complete page and tell me the quilts name.
4) (Bonus Entry) Tell some one about our giveaway. (I don't care how just spread the word. You can knock on the next door neighbors door if you like.) You don't need to tell me how you told some one, but you can if you want to make me laugh.
So please leave a separate comment for each entry. Open to all any where in the world. We are willing to ship internationally. Contest closes Sunday Night, December 16th meaning any comments made before Monday when I will draw the winners name. My son Jared (he is 8) will help come up with some clever way to pick it in a random way.
So 4 possible entries. Here at Richard and Tanya quilts I answer every email personally. I enjoy to communicate with my users. I hope you enjoy that and enjoy following my blog. You can find below some of what you might find in a blog post here. Enjoy your day and I hope that after you enter the many giveaways that you will come check us out and see what we are all about.
Jared is in Christmas stress mode, I do not think it will come fast enough for him. I have been trying to keep him busy and off the computer. So today he made me a Flying machine and I told him I would show it off for him so here it is.
I know your saying why is he still talking? You want to get to entering the drawing. The last few days this is what Tanya and I have been working on they are 12 day calendars you can read yesterdays post to get the link to the tutorial we are using to make them and learn a little more about them. We plan to make 40 of them before Christmas and I only have 4 made and basted sounds easy right only 36 to go?
Now go enter the drawing already.
Winner is Sandra I will send her a email! Congrats

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 495 of 495I really like your rag quilts but my favorite is the zig zag now I'm mad quilt. :)
I think some paper piecing is in your future.
One of my 2013 goals is to get a lot better at machine quilting. How about making that one of your goals?
I cannot believe how many quilts that you have made. I love the colors in Tanya's Pinwheels. I'm sure it is a well loved quilt!
I have spread the word about your giveaway. Thanks so much for the great prize.
A goal for next year could be to get a list of causes that need quilts and donate one to each of them.
And I'm a follower. :)
Love black and white fabric...
Don't start a new project until you finish withthe one that's already in progress
Learn a new technique every month! Thanks for the chance!
A goal might be to learn free motion quilting? Wonderful work, Richard and Tanya! Thansk for the giveaway!
I'm a follower through GFC. :)
I'm impressed!
why not go for a bed sized quilt this year?
Wow! 52 in 52 is astonishing! Maybe an interesting goal would be to set aside time each day and do some improvisational piecing. More challenging yet would be to decide on what new techniques you want to master, write them out on individual pieces of paper, and draw one each week, or each month to work on.
I follow your blog regularly with GFC. Happy holidays!
It's wonderful that you surpassed your goal of 52 quilts in one year. A good goal for the upcoming year might be to concentrate on the process of quilting (not the sewing part). The more you practice, the better you'll get!
Happy holidays and thanks sew much for this chance to win :-)
Wow, that's a lot of quilts. Beautiful ones, too. A goal for 2013 would be to learn a new technique - ie curved piecing, etc and make a larger quilt with it. Thanks for the opportunity on a wonderful draw and have a very merry Christmas.

I want to learn to free motion quilt!
I think you should aim to complete a quilt for your bed! But I'm not sure how you can top this year's finishes. I'm impressed!
And I follow via RSS!
New goal for 2013 could be 104...double...and I think you might double that the way you're going!
I follow your blog via email.
My favorites (couldn't narrow it down to just one!) are: Granny's Gone Wild, Baby Pinwheels, Twirl Magic, Zig Zag now I'm Mad, and Plus Plus.
How about 52 quilts in 52 weeks.. ALL from stash! Let's see just how big your stash really is and what you can create using what you have. It is amazing what can come from fabrics we never thought about putting together until we were forced to put them together! :)
I am following you on pinterest.
I like your Buzz quilt colors and I really like zig zag for dad.
I am a brand new follower of your blog. Thank you for a chance to enter your giveaway.

If you succeded and went over your quilting goal for this year. Then I would add about 8 more to that number and that would be my new goal for next year.

I like the halloween quilt the best of all....
conn_and_vans_mom(at)yahoo(dot)com
Wow you're a prolific quilter! I love Mom's Quilt -- all those bright colors and the simple design make me happy. :)
My suggestion for your 2013 quilting experience would be to make a twin sized quilt. They're a bit larger than a baby or lap quilt, but not nearly as daunting as a king sized!
Keep up the great work, I really enjoy seeing the beautiful quilts you make! :)
I am not sure you should even try to exceed last years goal , wow that is amazing that you were able to make so many quilts! I do follow you with GReader . Thanks for the chance.
Maybe you could set a goal of trying a certain number of new techniques.
New follower on GFC.
How about making a large quilt in 2013 maybe to celebrate a special event.
Goals for 2013 - how about learning a new technique - a different style of applique, paper piecing, trapunto, etc...
I like the back to the beginning quilt. I think you should pick a charity each month and make a quilt for them using the dimensions of the size they request. Should be a fun and fulfilling project!
I always try to up my last years numbers by 10... this year it was 24 which was really good.. Most of my quilts are lap robes or small children's quilts that are all donated to RMH, a abused children center, ill children and a nursing home,,,
thank you for the giveaway-- the black and white fabrics are beautiful-- I am not a quilter but I am a crafter and I would suggest going through your fabric to rediscover some that you could use in your quilts,it's fun to find forgotten fabric

You and Tanya have done an amazing job this year. I don't know a good goal for 2013. How about trying at least one new pattern each month.
I have to say that 52 quilts in one year is amazing! I take forever to complete one! Good for you. Next year don't look at numbers try different techniques as your goal.

I tnm you should try to do some full sized quilts with more intricate piecing
I follow via GFC
I told my husband about your giveaway. He was sleeping and not too happy that I woke him up ;)
I think your best quilt is plus plus
Maybe you could aim for one large quilt a month to go with all of your lap size quilts!
I am a follower.
I think I have picked it out before for one of your giveaways, but I love Bee 2 quilt. Bet you can guess why!
A new goal is to make fewer quilts and spend more time in the design process rather than just assembling blocks. That sounds kinda snarky and I didn't really intend it that way. But going from more traditional simple quilts to more complex quilts is a natural progression.
I put a goal for myself that I think would be a good one for anyone who sews. To change my sewing machine needle after every project and to clean inside of machine after every project.
Jareds flying machine is very cute and colorful.

I like Baby Girl Flower Patchwork
and Rebecca's Skeleton Quilt
I emailed my neice about your giveaway. She is an avid sewer also. Im sure she will pass it along also.
I am happy follower from Italy. hugs Alessandra
I love logcabin quilts for next year. hugs
My goal is to finish hand quilting a quilt I've had on the frame over a year. I don't know why I'm procrastinating so hard!
My suggestion for a quilting goal for 2013 is to have more fun when you quilt! Turn on the music, take a break and dance!

For a bonus entry, I held my cat up to the monitor so he could see your quilts. I think he approved!
wlinda_ca@yahoo.com
Wow ... more than 52 quilts in a year?! I'd have settled for a quarter of that! I think I can say I did finish 12, all told, so I don't feel like a slacker! A goal for 2013? Continue to try new things and set aside (or give away) projects that don't have any appeal any more. (Did I say that out loud?!?!?!?) :)
And I'm a new follower through GFC! And I added you to my Google+, too. Love the black and whites you've got up for grabs -- what a great set of prints!! Thanks! :)
I am new to this too, so I am not sure what to put for a goal. thanks and merry christmas vickise@gmail.com
i like the solo cup quilt. thanks. vickise@gmail.com
Goals are to make new quilts using differnt type patterns that I have never tried
I follow on GFC
I love your Rag quilts
I shared on Pinterest
I have followed you from the beginning, and you guys are pretty
amazing! A good goal for 2013, would be to make a large quilt just for you, to put on your bed.
Thanks for the chance to win!

I can't imagine topping 52 quilts in one year - my suggestion is to maybe try some applique. I really need those B&W prints for the quilt I plan to start after Christmas.
Just signed up to follow you by email.
I really like your Granny Squared - one of my favorite patterns.
Following with google.
Thanks for the chance !!!
I love learning new technics or blocks, so have fun learning !!!
Soldiers Star is my Fav. quilt you have made !!! Love It !!!
Your goal for 2013 should be to challange yourself to learn different quilting blocks or styles. And a goal of quality, not quantity - one challanging quilt per moth versus 5 or 6 basic ones. Thanks for the give away!
I follow you via google connect.
I like your plus plus quilt - I saw the same design on the cover of American Patchwork and Quilting. I want to make the smaller wall hanging with the solids - I got all my Kona fat quarters, just need to start cutting!
I follow via google
I follow on GFC, FB & email (I'm stalking you LOL)
I love Granny's Gone Wild - beautiful!
15 min of play a day... whether it's a new technique or to work on a larger quilt... 15 minutes to work out of your comfort zone!
I love Stars & Jeans and A Twist of Red! Amazing!
I just emailed a link direct to this post to several of my quilting friends (all except the one who always wins everything I'm trying to win, and when I share with her, it goes home with her *pout* I'm not sharing with her, not this time).
I think quilts for charity are amazing maybe make quilts for the Ethiopian Hamlin fistula hospital they have requirements on their website or maybe baby rugs for a NICU.
Hmmm...a goal for 2013. Perhaps a twin sized quilt? Or become really good at free motion quilting?
Estados desconcertados y Plus plus son mis favoritos.
Gracias Richard y Tanya por tan increíble regalo.
Soy feliz seguidora por correo electrónico.
Mis recuerdos siempre.
Impressive quilts!!!! Maybe for a goal you should find new designs that you would like to try?
I want to finish the quilts I already have before I buy more
