It's giveaway day! Yay!


If you are here from Sew Mama Sew, then welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere! I do hope you'll take a few moments to make yourself comfortable and look around...and maybe even come back from time to time to visit and say hi.

Today is the official start of the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway day where tons of blogs out there in blogland are hosting giveaways this week. Back before I had a blog, I stumbled across this and thought it would be a blast to be able to participate. I love it because you can find new blogs to follow AND win some cool stuff.

So here's what I'm offering this year:



A fat quarter bundle of some of my favorite Kona purples! We've got Pansy, Magenta, Dark Violet, and Hibiscus. They are even more gorgeous in person. I also will most likely throw in some fun quilting tools/other purple fabrics.

My giveaway is open to readers ALL OVER THE WORLD! =)

Also it will close Friday, December 16 at 5PM PST.

To enter all you have to do is:

1. Tell me what your favorite color combo for sewing/crafty projects is. (Mine is dark purple+gray)

If you feel so inclined you may do the following for bonus entries:

1. Follow my blog
2. Tweet about winning some awesome purple fabric from PurplePandaQuilts!

Thanks for entering and good luck! Also don't forget to check out some other awesome blogs and see what they are giving away here!


EDITED TO ADD:

I have gotten many comments from no-reply bloggers. PLEASE be sure to leave me a way to get back in touch with you (i.e. your email address) if you are a no-reply blogger so I can let you know if you win. Also please put your email address in this form: purplepandaquilts (at) gmail (dot) com so we can avoid spam. If I can't get in touch with you, I will put your name on my blog for a few days and if you don't respond then I will be forced to draw another winner.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!

Heather said...

I have been using a lot of pink lately (quilts for nieces with a pink bedroom), but in general I like cooler colors - blues, greens, purples, and a grey neutral.

Catherine said...

I love inky blues and purples.

LaraM said...

right now I love spring colors - sharp greens, yellows & pinks.

redzshadow said...

I love purple! I like things matched with black. Purple & black, blue & black, yellow & black, red & black, and green & purple. Just through that one in there for some variety. :)

Camille said...

My bedroom is gray and purple! Love the colors together. My bathroom is red and light aqua. I was inspired by Ruby line. I'll be using that line for some curtains soon.

Lindsay said...

I love teals greens blues and grays.

April @ Sewing Novice said...

Hmmm...favorite color combo. Well, I LOVE purple so I REALLY hope I win your giveaway. :) I am giving away purple fabric as well but it has a pattern. Anyway, onto my favorite color combo, I guess it depends on what I'm making. I like cute fabric so if I find it the color doesn't really matter. I want to make my first quilt out of dark purples though.

Erin M. said...

I always come back to blue, so blue with most things- green, yellow, grey. Thanks for being a part of giveaway day. erincode-at-metzlers-dot-org.

Chiska said...

My favorites are so revolving it's hard to choose one, but I like striking combinations. At the moment I'm a little enomered with blue and white.

Lindsay said...

Purple is my favorite color!!!

My fav quilt combo... hmmm... I think my blue and white one is my fav so far. Or maybe the lilac, light blue, and cream one.

I have to admit that I don't really have a favourite colour combination at the moment. It used to be forest green and gold... but I seem to be moving away from those and am more drawn to bright, clean colours.

Thanks for the chance to win the pretty purple fabric.

chimes said...

I have entirely too many favorite color combos and I discover new ones every time I craft. I make little zip pouches from all my scraps from other projects, and my favorite thing to do is make these because I discover all sorts of new color combinations.

I usually like contrasting colors with analogous colors. I am really digging using red right now though for some weird reason.
