Last year I went to HMQS just before my B-day and I picked up a bundle of Batiks and gave them away. This year again I went to HMQS just before my B-Day and I picked up more Batiks. (No sadly I am not giving them away this year) Oh ya and I did get the above 4 fat quarters for my B-day Giveaway. Tanya also threw in this hand crafted bowl that her sister Tosha made, (below is same thing, but the other side)
I want to keep this simple as the giveaway last week I personally responded to every email and after 444 of them it almost killed me. This year I simply want you to share a B-Day wish with me. I will ship any where in the world and the giveaway is only open for 3 days, as I do not want to draw this out too much.
Last year the Batiks I got from HMQS for my B-Day I made the above quilt (OK the dark and light grays I bought some where else, but all the little pieces in the middle)
I also made the above quilt after buying a bundle of the blue and yellow batiks. Oh such a sweet quilt. This quilt also was hung up in a local quilt shop for over a month (it is now down and for sell at that shop and on Etsy). Now if you win what will you make with your prize?
Just in case you think I got nothing for myself I got 4 bundles of Batiks in 4 color groups 20 total fat quarters total and the below pattern. If you know me at all, I love lizards and I could not resist this cute pattern I found.
P.S. Tanya has a birthday this month too, so make sure to come back in two weeks for another small giveaway.
Happiest of Birthdays!!!!

A very happy birthday to you! And no you aren't old yet...
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful birthday and a great year!!! Age is an attitude more than a number. Besides, old is 20 years older than you are at any given time. -- soparkaveataoldotcom
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Richard! Have fun with those batiks. I'm on a big batik kick right now and can't wait to finish up a few things I'm working on and cut into some I just bought.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!! Hope you have a wonderful day!!

Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to make your lizard quilt, and that this colorful little guy guards your gorgeous stash well!
If I win, I plan on adding this to the small stack I'm gathering for another yellow/black/gray quilt. Love the colors together!
Happy Birthday Richard- You are a great age but you are right about how quickly time passes..
ReplyDeleteI think the fabrics you chose are very fun- they would make a great bag or summertime placemats or table runner.
I love the batik fabrics too- they add so much texture to a quilt.
Tanya's sister's bowl is lovely- lots of talent in your family. Thanks for your generosity. With best wishes,
Anna
Happy birthday Richard! Don't like real lizards but cloth are ok and yours is very cute.
ReplyDeleteI would probably use the fabric in a quilt. I have some ideas that I want to try and the colors would work very well. thank you for the give-a-way
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI'd use the fabric in a quilt, because that's what I make.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Well, I also turned 44 on the 13th of May, but on the other side of the world, in Hungary (and my smallest is 3 years old). Also thinking about buying batiks. Maybe next month, as belated gift for me. Happy birthday to both of us.
ReplyDeleteAnd it would be a gym-bag for my oldest son (9 years), who is pestering me for one for weeks.

Happy Birthday! It is always fun to celebrate, regardless of your age. I think these prints would make some great cosmetic bags for Christmas gifts. I am starting now....maybe I will have all the handmade gifts done before December?? Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMany Blessings to You on your birthday. Hope it's filled with fun and lots of cake!!
ReplyDeleteMay your days be many and your troubles be few. Happy birthday. Thanks for sharing the lovely gifts with us. The yellow and black bundle will go great with my next quilt which will be yellow, black, gray and white!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I totally missed the big day. I even had a reminder set so I would come back on the 13th too. It popped up on Monday so I snoozed it for two days thinking then it would be where I could adjust it to come up first thing in the morning on your birthday. It never came back again so obviously I am an idiot and killed the reminder instead of snoozing it. DUH.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful birthday.
