SIMPLE CHOICES GIVEAWAY

IT'S GIVEAWAY TIME.  We have been waiting and waiting for the right time, and now, after I  finally got snow, about 18 inches the past couple of days it is time to celebrate.  (as a reminder, me, Marcea, lives in Utah, and that is where it snowed, not Florida where Janice lives.)


Back to the giveaway.  We published a new book which debuted at Market in Houston called SIMPLE CHOICES.

We started with 5 different individual quilts blocks.  Then we added 5 super fun appliques.  We topped it off with two different trims, ric rac or raw edge.  The idea is simple, CHOOSE YOUR BLOCK, CHOOSE YOUR APPLIQUE, CHOOSE YOUR TRIM, and before you know it you have 25 different quilts.

We added something else to our website in November, LARGE RIC RAC.  Yup, over 20 colors.  We love Ric Rac and use it in so many projects, we thought we would provide easy access to lucious colors on line.

We will have 3 WINNERS, each one winning a SIMPLE CHOICES book and 4 yards of you favorite color of Ric Rac.  That's just the right amount to make a SIMPLE CHOICES QUILT.  How to win:

1.  Check out the website, http://www.abbeylanequilts.com/, then choose the shopping page.  Got to the SIMPLE CHOICES page and pick your favorite BLOCK nd QUILT.  Remember, with this book, you get to choose and customize your quilt.  Here is a quick sneak peak at the quilts.






2.  While you are on the shopping page, click on the RIC RAC and choose a color that would look great on your quilt.

3.  Add yourself as a follower on our blog. For an additional chance, mention our giveaway on your blog.  If you are already a follower, just let us know.

4.  Friend us on Facebook at Abbey Lane Quilts.  If you are already a friend, let us know.  Post this giveaway on facebook for another chance.

You will get a chance for each number you do above.  If i counted right, you could get 6 chances to win.

We will pick a winner next Sunday, so get your chances in quick.

WE KNOW YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.

Janice and Marcea

My favorite block is the log cabin because it's a little off, like me after a long day at work. My favorite rick rack is purple. It always seems to be a stand out color to me. I'm definitely a follower on your blog. I love the patterns. I've posted your giveaway on facebook, but secretly want to win and have it all for myself. :)

Tina said...

Hi,

I really love this idea of this book ;-)

I take a combination of simply spring (the blocks) and simply anytime (the circles) and grey ric-rac.

I took photos from your web-page and pinned them to my pintrest board, is that okay? There is a link back to your website behind the photos.

As for rickrack I love the pink and the purple rick rack- not sure how I would work it into the spring quilt but I do love the rich color of both.

I like the pinwheel block. Pinwheels are my fave.

Mhairi said...

This is ridiculous but I would do my first quilt the same as your Simply Haunting. I love the block and the applique in this quilt. But I think I would use greys and purples instead of orange and black.

Mhairi said...

I would definitely choose the purple ricrac. That is my favourite colour and I think it would look great with the fabrics I already have in my stash.

Mhairi said...

I love your book idea, it is fantastic for beginners and experienced quilters.

I also like the turquoise ricrac and the apple green is a close second!

Susan said...

Congratulations on the release of your book. It looks like a winner. I'd love to explore all the possibilities. I like the crazy block, and the Halloween quilt in which you used it. Although Simply Spring is pretty appealing with those chickens!

Susan said...

Oh, you're the one who did Helter Skelter! I'm ordering that from a friend's quilt shop in Utah after pay day! I love that quilt. This is not an entry in the giveaway, just a comment. =)

KatieQ said...

My favorite quilt is "Simply Anytime" and I love the Pinwheel Block. Your book is a very cool concept. Most of us tweak patterns when we are using them. Starting out with 5 different blocks and choosing different ways to use them really allows quilters to "Customize" their quilts beyond fabric choices.

#1. My favorite block is Rail Fence and the quilt is Simply Anytime. Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite block is the wacky square block, and I love the simply spring quilt (great colors and it makes me happy). And, it's a toss up between the apple and lime green rickrack, I have this thing for shades of green.

I started following your blog, friend you and posted your link on my facebook. Hope to win your great book.
Thanks,Tracy

Elizabeth said...

I can't wait to buy (or maybe even win!) the book! I love the Simply Spring quilt, and I think I like the pinwheel block best. I would love to be able to make the Spring quilt for my daughter's "big girl" bed once we transition her to a twin size from her crib. We have everything purple for her, so I think the purple ric rac would be perfect. I'm excited to follow your blog as well as your FB account now. Congrats on the release!
