Fall Into Fall Quilt Bloggers Giveaways




Thanks so very much to all the wonderful folks who visited my blog and entered the Fall into Fall Giveaway. It was wonderful having so many folks visit my blog and leave comments. Thank you for your visits! I have discovered many new and wonderful blogs and bloggers. Please come again and visit real soon.

The winner of the Good to Go tote bag/purse and eye glass case is Susan from the blog Hanging on By a Needle and Thread. Susan, please send me your address so I can get the package into the mail early next week.


It's finally here. The Fall Into Fall Quilt Bloggers Giveaway has officially begun. From October 1st to October 15th, bloggers who also quilt have joined in a super fun blog hop. Debi who blogs at Quilting with Debi has organized a fabulous Fall event. Discover MANY wonderful blogs, make new blogging friends and perhaps win a prize or two from the giveaways. Each participating blogger is hosting a giveaway on their site. Visit the blog hop site to find a list of the quilting bloggers on the right side and the business bloggers on the left. Join in the blog-hopping fun! I first participated in the Fall Into Fall Blog Hop two years ago as a blog visitor. I had such a good time that I've been hoping since then that Debi would host another blog hop, but this time I wanted to participate with a giveaway. 

I love Fall! Here in Georgia we do experience a colorful season change. I love the falling leaves....


visiting pumpkin patches and eating pumpkin treats
One of my most favorite things is to visit the apple orchards and warehouses in the North Georgia Mountains. We didn't have experience apple season growing up in Louisiana. (Crawfish season is something we did embrace)
Reading pumpkin and apple stories to primary students for years and watching "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." Yahoo for Fall!

I know you're saying enough of the Fall Tribute. Where's the giveaway? I searched my sewing room. I wanted my giveaway to reflect Fall, but also help reduce my stash. I remembered that I still had lots of fabric from making my own Good to Go bag. Lots of luscious Chelsea Lane fabric in fall tones from Pat Sloan. That was it. The past few days I've been in my sewing room putting the new bag together.
This Summer I had the opportunity to use my friend Jane's Studio Cutter from Accuquilt. This made my project easier as most of the fabric was already cut into strips. The Good to Go bag from Silver Thimble Quilt Company is made from string-pieced blocks. 

My giveaway is this Good To Go tote bag Plus 


an eyeglass/sunglass case to match the bag.

 To enter the giveaway, please leave a comment telling me your favorite thing about Fall. For an extra chance to win, please leave an additional comment saying that you have signed up to become a Follower of my blog or tell me that you already follow my blog. International visitors are welcome to enter the giveaway. Good luck, friends! The winner will be announced on October 15th.

Hi,
My favorite two things (can't have only one...) are that this is the time of year that my Mum comes to visit us (from the UK).
And that this month is quilt retreat. I love the chance to get away from the routine (kids in school etc.,)relax and recharge. Take a nice long walk in the crisp air. Oh yeah, and get some serious sewing done!

My favorite thing about fall is playing in the leaves with my children. We have a large white oak in our backyard and enjoy huge leaf piles. One can never be too old for that, and coming in to have a cup of hot chocolate.

Sarcastic Quilter said...

For me it is the cooler weather that I love about fall!

kc said...

What a knockout bag! Thanks for being so generous to part with it!!! My favorite fall thing to do is celebrate the best day of my life - the one I married my dear, dear, understanding husband. I don't know many men that willingly shuffle their non-driving wife around to fabric store after fabric store, quilt shoppes, lessons, all the while sitting quietly & patiently until it's time to pay, then stepping up with the debit card and a smile. Then he has to put up with sewing stuff all over the RV!! Inside and out!

grostedt said...

First time to HOP. Excited about the new-to-me blogs. LOve your bag! grostedt@lek.net

~Laurie~ said...

Hi Becky!
Look at all the comments - this blog hop has brought so many readers!! I am already a follower and I too love Fall. Although now that we are in Texas, Fall really isn't here yet. It still has been in the 80's!! Can you believe it? The nights get down to 50 and then the mornings are also cool - which I love. I am missing my New England Fall the most right now - but I'm trying to stay positive. All those years that I enjoyed it has filled my memories :)
What a darling bag and case you are offering - so pretty!! Enjoy hopping to the other blogs - I have had to do only a few a day!!

Cyndi said...

Hi Becky! What an absolutely beautiful bag! I'd love to be sporting that around this Fall! :o)

My favorite Fall tradition is getting together with my husband's family and going out to the pumpkin farms and selecting our pumpkins, going back to my FIL's house to carve them (in secret) and then having one of the neighbors come over to judge which one is the best. The winner gets a gift certificate to his/her favorite restaurant! Then we light a fire in the fireplace, eat home made soups and other goodies, play games or cards, watch movies, or just chat. It's a great, fun family evening!

BTW, I'm originally from Louisiana, too - Baton Rouge. Where in LA are you from? And I love LSU football, too - that's my "other" favorite Fall tradition! Geaux Tigers! =^..^=

XOXO,

Cyndi

My favorite thing about fall, the cool crisp mornings, a cup a hot coffee sitting on the bench on the front porch waiting for my first daycare kids to arrive.

Yep that would be it.
Happy quilting

Gorgeous bag. I love fall because I was born in Oct. and because I have so much fun taking walks and kicking leaves.

Thank you for having this giveaway. My favorite thing about fall is that I get to go apple picking with my family.
