Welcome to Richard and Tanya Quilts if you are new to our site let me quickly introduce us. We are new to quilting as about a year ago. When having our 4th child, I (Richard) wanted a quilt for my baby,but had no one in the family or friends to make me a quilt so I decided to make my own. I started quilting a year and a half ago and now I like sharing my joy of quilting with those that visit us.
Our main giveaway today is this hand picked FQ set that we bought this last weekend from our local quilt shop. It is a set of 8 fantastic black and white fabrics. To win this giveaway is simple. Comment below telling me what your favorite quilting style is. 1 Comment is all that is needed. The Giveaway ends May 10th (but don't forget to stop by on the 13th its my B-day and another giveaway) I will ship any where in the world.
Because, I think every one is a winner and I like to give things away I have a number of patterns listed on Craftsy. If you visit Craftsy and comment (nice comments please) on any of the patterns and then come back here and list the pattern in a comment I will send you that pattern for free "While Supplies Last" (can you even run out of PDF's?) So yes every one is a winner! (This second comment is a extra entry too)
1) Craftsy Block of the Month 2013 with Laura Nownes - As a new quilter I suggest this class as it will give you some great hints and suggestions on block construction throughout the whole year.
2) QuiltCon Lecture Series 2013 - I am a member of the Salt Lake Modern Quilt Guild and as such was sad that I was not able to go to QuiltCon. So at my request (OK, well maybe it had nothing to do with me) they were kind enough to put together a lecture series so that I did not have to completely miss out on the experience.
3) Creative Quilt Backs with Elizabeth Hartman - This week is HMQS her in Salt Lake City, Utah (well Thursday - Saturday of this week) as a special treat the SLMQG was lucky enough to get Elizabeth Hartman to come talk to our guild tonight! So I am so excited I get to meet her tonight and learn directly from her. For the rest of you, you can enjoy this free class.
Thank you for visiting Richard and Tanya quilts today, please feel free to follow us though any of the options you can find on the menu to the right and please stop by Sew Mama Sew to find the many other giveaway that are open today. For those that will be attending HMQS, keep a look out as I will have 2 quilts hanging check them out and let me know what you think. If you can't make HMQS check back later this week and I will take pictures and share.
P.S. We will ship internationally.

Love traditional quilts and modern,I think I'm in the middle of the two styles.
Hi guys!! I love to hand quilt...but just bought a long arm to learn machine quilting...having fun!!
Thanks for this chance
I like Plus Plus Richard....just choosing one...lol
I like evereything when it comes to quilting; traditional piceing, improvising, FMQ, hand quilting, ...you name it!
Color Blast is my favorite!
I love scrappy quilts and hexagons. Thanks so much for this giveaway. These fabrics would be nice with my new hexagon project.
I like improv and modern quilting.
I love modern quilting with applique!
Hi Richard. I love this bundle of fabrics. Thank you so much for a chance to win them.
I love traditional quilts and I quilt everything by hand.
I'm a machine piecer and quilter. I'ved tried hand appliqué and hand quilting but have found I don't have the patience to wait for the time it takes. I don't think I would call myself a traditional quilter but I don't know that others would call me modern either. Hmmm....guess I do what I like and don't think about the category it falls under! Thanks for the giveaway!
Having a hard time deciding between plus plus and orange and gray helix! Guess I'll go with the helix as I love that orange and gray combination and the helix design is so cool! Thanks for another opportunity!
I love hand quilting but I bought a machine quilter a couple of years ago so now I'm a machine quilter
I love controlled scrappy quilts. So I pick certain color ways and use as many different fabrics in those colors as I can!
I love making scrappy quilts and I love the look of paper pieced quilts (but making them, not so much).
So far I haven't seen a style that I didn't want to try. Right now my tops are usually traditional/contemporary with a modern backing. This may soon change.
I would love Orange and Gray pattern. Thanks.
I love modern quilting, fussy cutting is a favorite! Thanks for the chance to win!

I love your Plus Plus! I left a comment! Thank you so much!
mrs(dot)hbraun(at)gmail(dot)com
I would say that I am a moerdn traditional quilter, using traditional blocks a modern way.
I like your plusplus pattern the best. I commented on it on craftsy
I really like quilts that are simple and beautiful! Thanks for a chance to win.
I love to play with everything and just absorb all the goodness in a quilt show - we each have our own interpretations. But scrappy and traditional quilts (heritage) are the ones I just want to snuggle up with.
Machine quilting for me! Awesome fabric-thank you!
I really enjoy piecing and love the combination of piecing and applique so am plannig to tackle that. Thanks
I love hand quilting and have been doing it for 40 years. That said, I am learning machine quilting and love the freedom it gives you. It is so easy to machine quilt a wall hanging or table runner for a quick gift. I love the feathers and the flower designs, especially.
I really like your plusplus pattern.
I love paper piecing, but I love wonky stars, and my EPP hexies, too! Depends on what day it is, I suppose... :)
I am afraid of my sewing machine so I hand sew. Maybe not that good at it but I like it!
I am intrigued by your Plus Plus quilt, so I would have to say that one! Thanks!
I commented on your orange and gray helix pattern! I love DNA!
I love straight lined quilting - there is so much you can do with it and it isn't too scary for new quilters!
I've only done straight line quilting. Sometimes at an angle.
I like pixel quilts and FMQ
I am hooked on FMQ!
Great giveaway. We are doing one too. http://justalittlestitch.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/its-giveaway-day.html
I like Modern traditionalism with straight line quilting.
My favourite type of quilts are the old-fashioned ones--Log Cabin, Grandma's Garden, Sunbonnet Sue, etc.
:o)

I enjoy free-motion quilting with my Viking machine - so much faster than hand quilting! (Love the black/white fabric prints!)
I am a fibre artist by trade, but also an avid quilter and love the modern quilting trend. Thanks for the great giveaway! I've commented on Etsy as well. I love that orange quilt! Glad to see you are having fun in the world of quilting.
Brandy Lynn
thanks for the change at your wonderful fat quarters.
My favourite type of quilt tends to be a traditional pieced. But I like to change it up and not use traditional colours.
I love paper piecing. And rag quilts because they are so fast and easy! Thanks Richard and Tanya for the chance to win!
Oh I love the PlusPlus pattern, right up my alley!
Thanks!
I just decided this weekend to come to the HMQS!!! I've got 3 classes scheduled and will definitely look for your quilts - that's awesome! It's such a fantastic show.
I really don't have a style yet. I'm just learning. That fabric is gorgeous. Thanks for the chance.
I commented on this pattern: Color Blast Quilt Pattern
It's so bright I love it!
I'm just learning to quilt but am really drawn to the modern styles. I also like the fun spins on traditional blogs, like doing a giant log cabin or wonky stars. Thank you for hosting this giveaway!
Orange and Grey Helix!
Love anything "Patchworky"...is that a word??? lol
Would love to use this Win, in a Quilt for my Son tho...he loves Black! :)
Love traditional and modern quilts. Love sewing, piecing, quilting, and sharing my passion.
I love your Orange and Gray Helix Pattern on Craftsy!
I love straight line machine quilting, thanks for the chance to win!
I love traditional patterns and quilts, but I'm also enjoying using "modern" fabrics in traditional patterns. I like your Color Blast pattern, especially in the blue/yellow colorway.
I love modern quilts & fabrics.
Scrappy simple squares. Thanks for the chance to win. I have always wanted to make a black and white quilt :)
My favorite quilting style is the one I am working on at the moment--any style and any moment. Currently I am experimenting with modern, but I love them all. I may even learn applique some day.
I fall into the modern traditionalist category.
I love scrappy but don't think I've ever made a truly scrappy quilt. Which would explain the overflowing scrap drawer...
I really love modern quilting!
I like modern quilting, but I also like traditional... I'm not so much into Art Quilting... thanks for the giveaway :)
I'm a brand new quilter and love modern quilting. Thanks!
I've only done a couple of quilts, so I don't have a lot of experience yet, but I love simple geometric patterns and I do love the good ol' nine patch. :-)
LOVE the Color Blast pattern! Commented on Craftsy!
Great giveaway. Thank you for the chance to enter. I have been a follower for a while now via Bloglovin. I would have to say my favorite style of quilting is scrappy...I also love modern quilts as well.
I love black and white fabrics, so this is an awesome giveaway!! Thanks Richard for offering these classy fabrics!! I'm heading over to check out your free patterns - nice bonus! Thanks!
I am a traditional quilter, but have been drawn to some of the modern quilts lately.
I like hexagons and paper piecing. Thanks!
I love traditionel as well as modern quilting. I work as much as possible on my sewing machine. These lovely black and whites are simply adorable!
Kind greetings!
I haven't got a favourite style of quilting yet, as I've only just finished my first ever quilt. :) For that one, I just did straight lines of hand sewing. Maybe I'll get a little more adventurous for the next one. :)
Quilting style? I love traditional pieced quilts, and as far as the actual quilting I love the look and feel of hand quilting for bed quilts, but I also love quilting free-form feathers with my sewing machine!
Great patterns! My favorite is Color Blast Quilt. Thanks!

I have started doing some modern quilting and really enjoy it.

I like modern quilts
I would like to be good at hand quilting.
How can I pick just one? Traditional, that I learned from my aunt from Missouri who had generations of quilts in her house. Modern, with all the incredible stuff people are creating! then there's Scrappy! Crazy! Freehand! So much to love ...
right now all machine quiltng
I'm practicing FMQ and really like it.
I love pieced.
I like traditional quilts made in bright, fun colors! Thanks for a lovely giveaway!!
machine quilting, squares and appliques. julia.glotova (at) gmail (dot) com
I love hand quilting
I'm more of a traditionalist but I am trying to branch out more and try some 'modern' looking stuff. I love quilting...it's hard to make an ugly quilt...quilts are just so loveable :)
I like your choice of fabrics. I am a strip piece gal. I will try and strip piece any quilt I am working on.
I love improv and seeing what happens!
i have never used patterns to make a quilt. very free and unique as the fabric get's into my hands. your fabrics look fabulous.
The B &. W fabrics are great! Thnx.
Happy birthday month, my birthday is this month as well. I just left a comment on your Plus Plus quilt pattern. I truly think it is going to become a favorite of mine. thanks again.
I love the machine quilting. I do like the Log Cabin pattern as my favorite.
I've only ever made one quilt and that was a strip piece. Loved it!
I really enjoy machine quilting and usually make quilts. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love modern improv quilting.
Not sure how to define my favourite style - probably traditional with a modern twist. Thogh I basically love to try all sorts! Lovely B&W bundle. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
My tastes run to modern but I'm still learning the basics, so I really like rail fence and nine patch. Instant gratification.
I like traditional pieced blocks in bright modern colors and settings. Thanks.
I'm definitely a traditional quilter. I like balanced, geometric quilts and blocks. I sometimes cross into the contemporary with my quilting motifs, and I like traditional blocks with twists, such as stars inside bear paws or such.
Thanks!
I am also new to quilting, but the zig-zag pattern looks really nice! Thanks for the giveaway. Ana
I would really love to have Plus Plus. I think it would be a great quilt for a child with autism or their teacher, and made with Pieces of Hope by Riley Blake.
Thanks!
Thanks for the chance to win! That black and white fabric bundle looks great!!! The best thing I like when making a quilt is the free motion quilting. Piecing is great,too, but basting and binding is not my forte :o)
I am just getting in to paper piecing. It is fun to create things that look impossible!
I commented on plus plus (I an houseonthedairy on craftsy)
I love dense quilting, straight line. Yum!
I like FMQ and crazy patchwork.
I'm a pretty modern quilter, and enjoy doing my own thing.
I love modern quilting - especially fun new takes on traditional patterns :)
I love coordinated scrappy quilting and traditional patterns with modern fabrics, but an occasional modern style quilt is fun too!
My favorite pattern of your on Craftsy is Color Blast Quilt pattern - but I couldn't figure out how to leave a comment there! I do want to say that it is bright and colourful!!
I like what I call updated traditional -- kind of a cross between traditional and modern.
I don't really have one style... I like them all including modern.
I commented on PlusPlus... love that one!
I love machine piecing. Most of my quilts are traditional, but I love the quilts that I see the modern quilters creating. Thanks for an awesome giveaway!
Plus Plus is my favorite. Thanks for sharing!
I like traditional quilt..
I comment on Plus Plus!
Great giveaway and Color Blast is neat!

Would love to make a maple leaf quilt.
I like all types of quilting but I do like it to be colourful.

I'm a modern quilter, and I prefer to straight-line quilt my tops. Thanks!
My favorite style of quilting is kind of a mix of traditional and modern.
Hand quilting is my favorite.
Orange and Gray Helix is my favorite! I love all quilting even if I am not perfect at it! I am a little bit country (traditional) and a little bit rock n roll (modern) ha ha! It is amazing how far we have come!
I prefer traditional quilts with modern fabrics.
I really like modern, but not wonky or improv...
iammaryburke@gmail.com
My favorite style of quilting is scrappy, maybe organized scrappy! And I think your pattern "Plus Plus" is exactly my style. I really love the bundle of B & w fabrics!

I like to just "wing it." That's my favorite style... no plans, just do it :)
Thanks for the chance to win! I'm not sure about quilting styles.. I'm hoping to win one of these giveaways for my mom, who is an avid quilter!
I just love to quilt... I guess modern traditional if you wanted to get label-ly!
I love the QuiltCon lectures!
I like modern quilting the best.
I love your zest for quilting Richard,- one would not guess that you were a relatively new quilter. May you long enjoy a passion for it.
I have sewed and quilted for many years now. I love traditional patterns using modern fabrics especially batiks. I am a big fan of geometrics and pieced quilts. I also love scrappy quilts made with lots of stash leftovers.
I don't applique much and do not hand quilt but admire others who do.
Thanks for sharing your pattern ( I like your plus plus pattern especially). I do have a craftsy account with a couple of their courses waiting for me to take one day. Perhaps this summer when I am on vacation from school.
Your black and white fabrics are fabulous. I follow you on google + .
Warmest regards,
Anna
I love the classic blocks in modern fabric.

I love paper piecing!
Thanks for this giveaway!
I love machine embroidery and hand quilting
I like the look of hand quilting.
I love to quilt on my home machine.
I love modern quilting
I love your orange and gray helix on craftsy, so pretty!! thanks!
Hmmm, I think I love all kinds of quilts. Modern, traditional, scrappy, low volume. I love them all!
Traditional piecing, but I'm learning to love applique. Thanks for the giveaway!
I've made a few baby blankets, but I can't say I quilt. Hmm... maybe it'll be on my "to learn someday" list.
Quilt as you go is great.
Modern minimalist
I'm somewhere between modern and traditional piecing. Thanks for this chance!
Oh my I dont know I do a little of everything
I really like modern scrap quilts, but I'm collecting black and white at the moment for a log cabin top with a twist...
I also really enjoy hand-piecing and hand quilting, so hard to pick just one favourite!!
I am traditional trying to get a little more modern.
Yay for everyone being a winner! I started trying to quilt ages ago and resumed recently after having kids. My husband got me a new machine and I"m loving it!
So far I've done traditional simple stuff (some nine blocks, and a fussy cut quilt with fire trucks and letters that I did off the cuff). I really admire modern quilts, though, and really hope to start moving in that direction soon.
Love the black and white fabric!
Love paper piecing and your black and whites are fab
I like more modern quilting, but also hexagons and scrappy quilts. Thanks for the chance!
jgemeroy(at)gmail(dot)com
I commented on Craftsy that I like the "Orange and Gray" pattern. Thank you for the chance to enter.
i enjoy lots of quilts - they really just need to speak to me when i see them to like it or not. :)
i want to make a plus quilt so your pattern is perfect.
I'm not sure what my favorite quilting style is called. I would call it "new traditional". In other words, more traditional blocks but with a solid background.
I don't have much experience with quilting but my favorite is the log cabin. I found this pattern is easy to follow and I hand quilted all my quilt.
I'm a calico girl at heart and definitely a traditional quilter. Lately, though, I've been gravitating towards a few modern quilts and have mixed both together. It is fun to branch out.
I love that B&W FQ bundle. I'm crossing my fingers. Thank you for the great giveaway and the chance to win.
xo -E
I like more traditional quilting styles. Modern quilts look lovely but they just aren't for me usually haha
after not being able to quilt for several 'decades', I am really enjoying the modern quilt designs. That and anything by Judy Niemeyer
Also - I love the PlusPlus pattern and Color Blast Quilt pattern! Commented as kalaga
I love to make scrap quilts.
I like your Plus Plus pattern.
I love the modern quilts, I usually take a pattern and change it up a little.
My favourite style to look at (and one I'd love to master) is crazy quilting, but so far I've stuck with simple blocks.
I love the designs in modern quilts. They are so fresh.
Definitely a modern quilter. Just like your orange helix pattern. Thanks!
I just started quilting, so I'm doing basic right now! atabanana29(at)gmail(dot)com
I love to hand quilt when time permits! I am a beginner at FMQ.
I commented on your color blast quilt pattern! I love it!! atabanana29(at)gmail(dot)com
I love traditional quilts, but every now and then something modern and contemporary catches my eye.
