Hey there Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day blog hoppers!
As the title says - this is SMS GD Giveaway #2 for my blog. Please see post #1 for the other giveaway. This is the first time I'm doing a giveaway and I have a feeling that I'll do something to mess it up, but you take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have...
(Did you shout "the Facts of Life?!" If so, that is awesome. If you didn't, well, that's totally fine, too. Facts of Life was an American sitcom from the 80's. George Clooney even had a role on some of the later seasons, long before his Academy Award days.)
Anyhoo, I decided to do two giveaways because I couldn't figure out how to do it in one and in the interest of full disclosure, I wanted to let people know that I had previously listed these five fabrics in some Flickr swap groups but didn't get any takers. But I still felt like there was someone out there who might really want to use them in their projects. And I thought I might be able to reach that person thru this giveaway. So, if that person is you - please enter! I like all my fabrics to go to homes where they are loved and cherished :)
These are five half-yard cuts in navy, grey, black, yellow and off white and they come from the Waterfront Park collection by Violet Craft for Michael Miller.
Please leave a comment by May 16 at 10:00pm CST and tell me about your current favorite pattern or technique. My apologies, but this is open to US addresses only.
Best of luck! Can't wait to read your comments! Check out more giveaways at SewMamaSew.

These are fun fabrics! I am enjoying making a second 'billboard quilt' based on techniques by Oh Fransson. Thanks!
I was blog surfin and saw this fabric and had to stop because I am a Portland transplant to the Midwest and I am oh so homesick. I am working on the Green Tea and Sweet Beans quilt so many different blocks but tons of fun trying to get it to work together.
My favorite pattern is non pattern. I made a crazy lap quilt this past year and LOVED the freedom of fabric haphazardly sewn together as long as they came out to the dimensions of a block. I had to really undo and NOT think about it too much. I can't wait to do one again! LOVE this fabric. I have a creative 6 yr old son who would love to have a lap quilt full of bridges minus Lloyd and Jeff…ba dum bump!

My current favorite technique must be HST's, because I've done hundreds of them since January, literally.

I love scrappy quilts the best!
I have been experimenting with fabric manipulation!
I am working on a churn dash quilt at the moment. :)
craftyccain@gmail.com

My favorite right now is patchwork.
I don't know what my favorite pattern is but I have a favorite formula right now for making tiered skirts and thats fun! Layer one is 1.5 of the waist measurement and then divide the length by how many layers you want and then every layer down is in order, second layer is waist times two, third layer is waist times 3, 4th layer is waist times 4 and so on! It's so fun to be able to make any size, any length, any amount of layers and do it right!
The only quilts I've made are rag quilts, so that'd be my favorite pattern. ;)

I am loving the economy block pattern right now.
I'm really loving all the geese alternatives out there right now!
My favorite pattern is usually the next one I am going to make. Are you like that, too? In my case I am excited about Jacquie Gering's Beaded Curtain pattern; I am making it for my friend's 50th birthday
Thanks for the chance at some Waterfront Park. We live near Portland, OR and my sweetheart was just talking about how much he loves the views of the bridges.
My favorite pattern is Storm at Sea.
I recently found paper piecing and am in love with everything about it except the whole tweezing out tiny bits of paper.

My current favorite pattern is the tulip bag from Anything but Boring- it is great for gift giving. Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite technique for blocks is paper piecing. I can get such intricate complicated beautiful blocks that are fairly easy to make and turn out perfectly. I'm having fun making the Angled Frames quilt from the Old Red Barn quilt along on Flickr.
(ps if I'd seen these on a swap on flickr I would have been all over that :) )
Piecing blocks is the only technique that is easy for me. I am going to make a new quilt that is called Ribbon Box Quilt and it is just simply piecing. I'm good at this. So, your giveaway would be used for this quilt. Thank you for being a part of the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway and giving me the chance to win.

I'd be thrilled to have this fabric -- I know two people who have lived in Portland and would love something made from this. I don't quilt (yet), so I only have favorite fabrics rather than quilting patterns. A great new fabric is "Frog and Toad Together." Wonderful books, now wonderful fabric!
Thanks for the chance to win!
