Welcome to day three of my four years four days of giveaways!
(this post contains bad language, NSFWorKids)
In my third year of blogging, I fulfilled my Spiderweb dream... or at least I designed the block I wanted, did a tutorial and asked my bee mates to make it! Lets just say it was met with mixed reception, but everyone did send me blocks, I even got a couple from friends outside of the bee.
Well, for a March 2013 start, we have a November 2014 finish!

Instead of signature blocks I stamped the name and blog name of each contributor on a strip in their blocks, and I love that, I can see right away all my friends names jumping out at me!
Its free motioned in the solid, and I did 2 or 3 rings of hand quilting in various bright perle cottons in each web. And I bloomin love it!!!
But back to the free stuff!
For day three, I'd like to giveaway an embroidered hoop.
Yes, its empty just now, to win just tell me what you'd like it to say! Here's a wee reminder of some I've done already.
Again, giveaway is open to one and all, just make sure you are not a NO REPLY BLOGGER, I am not chasing you, I need to be able to contact you! Giveaway will run til the 18th December.
I love your spider web quilt Sarah, what a lovely reminder of all your bee friends!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous picture of your daughter
I love that spider web quilt. Gutted you aren't giving that away :-D I've always wanted to make one just not enough to actually start. As for what I'd want in the hoop. My mind is blank so I'd unhelpfully leave that to you.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... not sure exactly yet but I think it's got to be something a bit gangsta or street but tongue in cheek, maybe from Armstrong and Miller,'s airmen sketches, just to make me smile.... or how about "I'm shutting your butt down" - Tarantino :D
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is lovely, and the person modelling in front is even lovelier! All the best to you both, and Ellie Cat!
ReplyDeleteSo far I haven't seen any quilt of yours I dislike!!! Bender from Futurama has always been my idol!!
ReplyDeleteAwe look at that wee sweetie on the couch all big girl like! You're setting the bar high for the rest of us with blogging anniversaries there! Any wee hoop by you would be a treasure! X
ReplyDeleteTotally see why you love those spiderwebs! I can't believe how big Molly Moo is getting! She's adorable, and looks like she has quite a wee charm about her!! Jxo
ReplyDeleteMolly Moo steals the show! I would love to own a piece of your creations. Di x
ReplyDeleteHello little miss gorgeous!!! Love the spider quilt! A give away? How lovely of you xxx
ReplyDeleteOh I love the cuteness at the end. I Love all the hoops you've made, but one along the lines of "finished is way better than perfect" would be meaningful to me as I never finish anything!
ReplyDeleteLook at big girl Molly! :). As for the hoop - "It seemed like a good idea at the time" is a phrase that seems to crop up a lot in my life or any Malcolm Tucker quote. Fuckity bye!
ReplyDeleteLove to see the spider web quilt finished. It's wonderful
ReplyDeleteLove the spidey finish! Seems Moo's quite keen on it too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous spiderweb quilt - definitely the right plan to have it made as Bee blocks. As to a hoop.....mmm too many young but excellent readers in this house, but I did like the gravity quote!
ReplyDeletelove the spider quilt! Wow.....a lot of seams in that one!!
ReplyDeletefor my quote , I would have to go with Tolkien -----
"Not all those who wander are lost"
thanks for the giveaway.
Lovely use of scraps in your quilt. For the hoop:" When life gives you scraps, make a quilt".
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Finland with love by Mari. mamioja(at)luukku.com
That quilt is gorgeous and so colourful. I love hoops, i use them in our wedding and to decorate my sewing room. Whatever you decide will be great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt - I bet it will be a favourite for years to come! I love the hoop idea. For me it would have to have I quilt so I don't kill people!!!
ReplyDeleteOooooh! I would so love a special designed by you Brit Bee inspired hoop. Loving the spiderwebs and that there is a little it of me in there. Your quilting idea is perfect!
ReplyDeleteOoh, a brill giveaway!!! I'd be asking for a Sheldon quote (I love the ducks one!) or maybe......a nice wee Tim W lyric?
ReplyDeleteI do adore your spiderwebs (great bee block!) and couldn't you just squeeze those wee cheeks forever?! Such a cute kid. *g*
I love the Spiderwebs quilt! (And Molly Moo, obviously - she's so cute and happy in that photo!) I'd love a hoop, maybe something from Sheldon et al? Nothing too rude and not sweary, thank you, or I'd have to take it down each time my mam popped in ;o)
ReplyDeleteThe spweb quilt is amazing, love the bright colours (I always say 'sp' instead of the whole word because even that is too scary). Thanks for a fun giveaway too. x
ReplyDeleteWow, that quilt turned out so wonderfully, and I am glad to have made a block for it too. Molly is looking just adorable!
ReplyDeleteMolly Moo is such a beauty. Reminds me a little of my big girl when she was a tiddler- same colouring. I have ideas for the hoop!
ReplyDeleteI love your spiderweb quilt :) I'd love a hoop made by you. If I won, can it say 'that rug really tied the room together'? One of my fav films :) http://youtu.be/_vGK008c_rA
ReplyDeleteA spiderweb quilt is definitely on my list! Yours is gorgeous! No idea what I'd want on a hoop, though I love your examples.
ReplyDeleteCan I just have the sweetie on the couch?
ReplyDeleteThe last photo is the best :) I'm so happy I could be a part of your spiderweb quilt even if I'm not your bee mate.
ReplyDeleteI love my adhesive ducks hoop so I'm not sure if I can be greedy and hope for another one...
Oh another beautiful quilt! Spiderwebs are so on my to do list (one day!!) maybe a buffy quote for the hoop?!
ReplyDeleteI love your Webby quilt and those hoops are fan! If I won one I'd love a Harry Potter quote, or just something you thought was appropriate :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful spiderweb!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't anti that quilt block! I just couldn't understand the need for selvedges - I think that was you (sorry made few in my time and they merge!) Haha! It looks fabulous as does the wee one!
