Guess What I Got!?!?!?!?!?!?!???? & Thank You!!!!!!!!! & Giveaway!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't seen enough

 activity on AccuQuilt's

 Facebook page so

 I'm...........

Changing the Prize!!

Read below for more details

Sorry about all of the excessive puncuation marks in the title but guess what came in this box......
I was so excited I could hardly contain myself.....


Here's a clue......



Under all of this packing......



WAS..................



YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Then I grabbed some scrap fabric that I use for testing my HQ......


It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo easy!!! 
 I had this cut in less than 2 minutes......


I can't believe how quick this was!!  Just think, one 12" block in LESS than 2 minutes!!  AND it's cut EXACT!!!! (now I need to work on those seams!)  How cool is this????   

Thank You Accuquilt!!!!!! 
I won a drawing that Accuquilt had on Facebook and WON this fabulous little machine!!!!  (Read about it on a posting from May 20th on fb)They were looking to reach 1,000 fans and kept the drawing open and had 4000 fans sign up!!! If you are not a fan of Accuquilt on fb, you SHOULD BE!!  Otherwise how are you going to know about all of the fun stuff they do??  Never know what may happen.....I certainly didn't expect this!!  I was estastic with the results!!!!  Here's a link to Accuquilt on fb. Accuquilt picked a good one!! I've already purchase one die (hadn't received the machine yet) and I've got my eye on two more that I just won't be able to live without!! I've got so many quilts floating around in my head!!


Here's a crazy idea...........  CHANGE in PRIZE!!!!!!
A
Giveaway.....

Accuquilt wants to get 7,500 fans by June 1st.  So HERE is what I am going to do......

What I am giving away.....

90 Tumbler Blocks Cut from Black and White Fabrics
(blocks only, no shashing or border)
(quilt shown is sample of block)
I am going to send you enough fabric to make this same quilt!  I have already ordered the 2.5 die and will be ordering the Tumbler Block die.  SO...I will send you
90 Tumbler Blocks (see below)
2.5" Sashing in RED
4" Border Fabric
I will be sending Tumbler blocks cut from: black on white, white on black, red on black, red on white, black on red,and white on red

You will have enough blocks to make the center of this quilt....

I am sending you this entire quilt kit in black, white and reds!!!


What you have to do......

Become a friend to Accuquilt on facebook.  Post that you are a friend and you saw this giveaway on my blog.  If you are already a fan of Accuquilt and a follower of my blog you will receive an additional entry. Please note so in posting, yep, I favor my followers....
If  you can get your friends to join Accuquilt and mention your name with the giveaway, you will receive an additional entry.  I'm trying to entice you to pass the word around.  So here's the breakdown.

One entry for being/becoming a fan on Accuquilt on Facebook AND posting that you read about the giveaway on my blog.

Second entry if you are a follower on my blog prior to this posting.

Extra entries for each friend that you entice to join Accuquilt on facebook.  They MUST mention your name and my blog to qualify.

Blog about this giveaway, and I'll give you 3 extra entires!!  Be sure to send me a link to  your blog, and make sure I can get in touch with you. 

********Just read today, they will be giving away another machine when they hit 5000 fans!!!*******
YOU could be next!!!

Drawing.....

I will draw a name from the list via  random.org on or before the 10th of June. I will ship international for this giveaway!

Let the madness begin......and I am off to play with my GO!  Who knows, perhaps cutting blocks for YOU!!!

Thanks for checking on me,
hugs,
joanne

love to hear what you've got to say........

Dolores said...

Hi there,
The lovely Allie from allie oops sweet happy life sent me. What a wonderful giveaway. You certainly do have a great tool there.

Laurie said...

I wasn't going to enter your contest - I thought how many more kits do I really need?! BUT, I thought more about it and with my fabric addiction and my new interest in the Accuquilt, I thought why not?! I can just put aside the fabric until I am settled in my new home and it would be a great stress reliever to work on when I am feeling lonely in a new town! So here I am!! Please enter me in your contest - hopefully I'm not too late. I am already a follower and I just became a fan of Accuquilt. My fingers are now crossed to win your fab fabric!! WOOOHOOOO!

Greg said...

What an awesome give away. It seems those lucky enough to win are paying it forward!!! Thanks for the chance, am now a follower of your blog and if I didn't ike Accuquilt I'd be crazy!! I can't believe we're getting closer to another winner!!!


Thanks again!!
