Sew Mama Sew - Handmade for the Home

Today we are participating in the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day.  I am having 2 different giveaway's with 2 different posts (so look for the other one if you have not already entered it)  This post will be for Handmade  for the Home Category.

For this giveaway I am giving away one of my $40 or less quilts.  Tanya and I have been busy over the last year and  have a Etsy Store with 20+ quilts in it.  Pictured above are examples, 10 of the 20+ are quilts that are for sell are $40 dollars or less.  The winner of this giveaway can pick one of the 10 quilts and have it shipped to them for free. This is open to all, no matter where in the world you might live.  If you prefer one of the quilts over $40, you can use the $40 towards the price and still get free shipping.

To enter you just need to visit my Etsy Store  and pick a quilt  that you love and tell me why you love it? (Basically I want to know what kinds of quilts people like and why so I can make more of them), it does not need to be the quilt you would get if you win.

For a 2nd entry you can like my Etsy Store or one of the quilts in it.

If you like our quilts, please share with your friends and or follow our blog.  None of these are required to win.  Good luck all.

To Recap to enter
1) Pick a quilt you like in my Etsy Store and tell me why you like it.
2) Bonus entry like a quilt or my Etsy Store. (Leave a separate comment for each)

This closes December 7th.  We will draw a name and notify winner.  Please leave a way to get in touch with you, if you are a no reply blogger.

Your scrappy patchwork quilt out of Twirl with a minky back is really beautiful. I especially love the binding you chose. It really completes it and brings all those bright colors together.

Lizard Rag Quilt

Around our house we love lizards (or so Richard keeps telling every one) Here is a great child size lap quilt made with some lizards in a cute Blue/Yellow/And Green combo.

The back of this quilt is all in Green Tie Dye.

Here is a close up of them.  So cute if I say so myself (Richard Speaking haha).  This is a Christmas gift for our 4 year old nephew.

Teddy Bear Rag Quilt

Tanya has been busy the last few weeks making rag quilts.  She has had great success selling rag quilts on our Etsy store (and giving away about as many also).  She realized though that after I gave away the last boy rag quilt that we were in need of some more.  This rag quilt has random left overs of various prints we have used in the past and BOY! is it cute.

Tanya is getting much bolder on her color choices for her Rag Quilts and has started to add unique color pop to them by putting neat colors in the middle so that when ragged they just are so neat and amazing.

You can see on this one that the back is a light blue and the brown in the rag is from the middle layer.

My Solo Cup

This quilt is made from material I got from the Door Gift from the SLMQG mixer for Sewing Summit  It is a line named MAASAI MARA by dear STELLA

Tanya wanted me to make a quilt full of Solo Cups for lack of a better name.   I made the front as you can see above out of that.  Then with the left overs I had fun making the back.

After making this quilt I think I like the back 100 times more then I like the front so if you saw this quilt at my house above would be my front.

Here is a close up of my solo cup on the back you can see that I Echo Quilted this one following the cups from the front side.  This quilt is a gift for Christmas for one of the Step Sister In laws.
