Parsley


In honor of the amazing and fun opportunity to work on these designs, I would love to offer you this give away!   Because I know that some of you visit because you are avid piecers and enjoy having your quilts machine quilted by quilting artists like me, and some of who visit are fellow long arm machine quilters looking for inspiration and camaraderie, I have something to offer to both of you!

For this give away I will either quilt a top for you free of charge with your choice of pantograph OR I will ship out a paper copy of the pantograph of your choice for you to use if you are already a long arm quilter!

Comment below and tell me your favorite of all the eight designs!  A winner will be randomly selected and given the option of free quilting using one of the above pantograph designs OR the pantograph pattern itself!

This give away will close on Friday April 18th. 2014 at midnight eastern time.  I will announce a winner the following week, and that winner will have the option to choose a paper pantograph pattern or free quilting. 

IMPORTANT DETAILS TO NOTE:  If you choose free quilting I will cover the cost of thread and return shipping to US residents and Canada.  Winner will be responsible for shipping out quilt to me and any costs that may incur, along with sufficient backing fabric, and batting (or you may purchase batting from me).  For free quilting winner will be added to current schedule just as any other customer - quilts are quilted in the order in which they are scheduled to arrive to me.  Quilt intake contract will be required just as any other quilting job.  **Due to the high costs of shipping I apologize that free return shipping on free quilting for the winner as well as shipping of paper patterns will be limited to US and Canadian residents only.  If you are outside of the US or Canada you may choose digital download and I will make arrangements to cover those costs or give you the option of paying the cost of shipping prior to your quilts return.  Free quilting winners chosen quilt top may not exceed 100" on it's longest side.  Please note that this give away is offered by me, Valerie Smith, personally and is separate and apart from Urban Elementz.  Any questions or concerns should be forward to me personally - thank you!

THIS GIVE AWAY IS NOW CLOSED - A WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED NEXT WEEK!  Thank you so very much to all those who took the time to enter!  :)

Not an easy decision as all your designs are great! I think Deja Vu is my favorite!

All are wonderful! But I think my favorite is Deja Vu because it makes me think of you and your style. I've watched your progression this last year on the long arm, and now get to watch you do fantastic in the design arena, too! Way to go!

Sandie @ crazy'boutquilts said...

Oh how fun! Thank you! Tea Lights really caught my eye. I have been looking for panto's without flowers to do some quilts for guys, but yet have some of the elements I like to quilt~ and that one would be the best of both! Thank you for the chance!

Jan E said...

I'm with everyone else-- your designs are all delghtful and it's really hard to choose between them. Since We do have to though, I'll go with Tickled Pink...I think it would enhance any quilt most appealingly. Thanks for sharing!

I love Déjà vue. What a generous giveaway. Thank you!

Rettabug said...

Good Morning, Valerie!

What a generous give-away! I thought I would have a hard time deciding which option to choose, but after thinking about it, I know YOUR custom quilting would be the smarter choice! I've been watching over your shoulder aka "lurking" ever since you first got your machine & I am blown away by how much you have learned.
Thank you for the chance to win something done by YOU!

fondly,
Rett (a fellow Ohioan, looking forward to SPRING!)

p.s. Congrats on your affiliation with Urban Elementz!!

Rettabug said...

oooops, forgot to say my favorite is your newest "Parsley" design

Sherrill said...

Oh gosh, they're all so pretty!! I could NOT pick one favorite so my two favs are Felicity and Parsley. What a great giveaway--thank you!!

Unknown said...

They are all so lovely Valerie, and I am finding it hard to choose between Felicity and Tickled Pink. Thanks for the generous opportunity to win one of your patterns.

WOW, WOW, WOW!!! My mouth is watering to use the Flamingo pantograph on an tropical island quilt-top that I've made!! Truly magnificent!!

Aloha Valerie,

I love your blog and your quilting. My favorite design is Tahiti. The ebbs and flows remind me of the ocean's waves...so peaceful and individually unique.

Mahalo nui loa for sharing your talents and love of fabric and quilting with all of us.

Tanisha said...

I love the flemenco!

I love felicity!

Laura said...

These are so cool. I just found your site through Just Us Quilters. I really like Felicity the best. What are hard choice to make.

Jytte R said...

I think FELICITY is my favorit, but it was difficult just to choose one.
Thank you for the chance to win.

Chris said...

I would have to call it a toss up between Tickled Pink and Felicity as my favorites. They both have great texture with a little bit of flowers, leaves and feathers. All of them are nice and would be perfect on the right quilt!
Chris
