My online shop is called Two Bits Patches. Two bits is a quarter, 25 cents, and I started selling fat quarters on eBay in 2007.

| Two bits of a dollar - 25 cents |
So it is very appropriate to have a fat quarter prize for this giveaway - three fat quarters in fact.
From left to right - Judie Rothermel's Quaker Quilts; Jo Morton's Lucinda's Needle; and Howard Marcus' Friendship: Collections for a Cause. Just right for your next few blocks of the Chester Criswell Quilt. If you are the winner, I will send you a fat quarter of each fabric.
To enter - post a comment on this post about what you are doing today, or what you wish you were doing today. The winner will be chosen at random; if you link to this giveaway on your own blog you can have a second chance to win. You may post a comment anonymously, but I can't get in touch with you if you win. So I will choose someone else to win.
Closing date is 25 April. In Australia that's ANZAC Day when we remember our involvement in the First World War. In our family it's also my granddaughter's birthday. I will spend the morning marching in two parades and then home to sew.

I am in a hotel room in VT. It is raining...yucky! I wish I were sitting at my sewing machine, putting the binding on a quilt.
ReplyDeleteLovely fat quarters. I am off to have lunch with my Daughter and her family.
ReplyDeleteA drummer no less how exciting.
Forgot to say I did a quick post on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying the beautiful weather and plan on working on my Pezzy Churndash. Notice i said plan...thats different than actually doing!

Thank you. I shall be prepping a couple of Dear Jane blocks in anticipation of being in jury duty next week.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Congrats on your blog visitors - amazing! I am a newcomer here, and glad to find you.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking my youngest son to the airport - he's returning to uni today!
ReplyDeleteI am back from a fabrics shopping :)
ReplyDeleteToday I'm cleaning the house, tho not enthusiastically :). But I started out the day with hand applique, and I'll do more later.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog recently and now follow with "Old Reader" feeds. (I may have found you at tatteredgarden.blogspot). I'm enjoying your applique work very much. Thank you for sharing your pretty fabric in the giveaway.
i started my great grands quilt for her birthday next month
ReplyDeleteToday I've been going to Open Houses to get peeks into what houses look like in Boston. It's another way to see the city! Once we polish up the taxes I will either pull out the sewing machine to work on a charity quilt, or it might be we go to friends and spend the evening there. Thank you for putting my name in your drawing for these nice fabrics. I came here via http://tatteredgarden.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteWorking wuth my daughter and granddaughter on high school graduation plans. Hopefully will finish a charity quilt today. Would love the fat quarters, thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 25 posts! Beautiful fabrics to giveaway - thanks for the opportunity. Today I am binding a quilt - which is exciting because it means a 'finish' coming up!

Thanks for the chance to win. Love the fabrics you have there. I have linked your give away to my blog
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Sharon!
ReplyDeleteI'd always wondered where you derived the name of your shop from - it all makes sense now!
Today I have already done enough vacuuming to make me feel very virtuous and now I can stitch away until I need to go to work this arvo!
I am really enjoying making the CCCQ blocks althou I am always a month behind - a bit like a drummer in a band, I'm always bringing up the rear!
I am doing the final quilting on Free Wheelin Zara'a Cot quilt. Then I can get back to my Nearly Insane quilt. 2/3 finished. Those gorgeous fabrics would be perfect in my Nearly Insane.I love watching the progress on CCCQ.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Lynne
I spent the day with my sisters. We are working on a quilt for my niece's 21st birthday. Quilting, guacamole, margarities and sisters. We had a great time. 3bakergirlsgo@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI have been following a couple bloggers progress on this lovely quilt! Congrats on your visitors!
ReplyDeleteToday, I went to church and we had lunch before heading home. Stopped by the grocery store. Came home, took a nap then I felt like I wasted my afternoon because I have my supplies for a quilt for my nephew and I wish I had started working on it. Back to work tomorrow so It'll have to wait til my next day off. Thanks for the chance to win.

Today I have made a little more progress on cleaning up my sewing room, I would much rather be starting the nearly here grand baby quilt . Thanks for the great giveaway, the fabric is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Sharon on your 25 posts and 25,000 visitors! Interesting to hear the origin of your shop's name. Today I worked and didn't do any sewing until this evening when I managed to do heaps. I started the needle-turn applique on CCCQ #9 block and pieced the first row for my Morrell quilt. I have posted about your give-away on my blog. It'd be nice to win, thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was visiting my sister in Trinidad & Tobago
ReplyDeleteI have posted a link to the giveaway on my blog: http://www.craftedmadness.blogspot.co.uk
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Sharon. Yesterday when I first read your post I was playing tennis badly, doing way too much housework after the weekend (boring, thankless task)and finally after cooking dinner (I hate cooking too) and cleaning up again I managed a little sewing on my Sarah Morell quilt. Today I am at work and after dinner I plan even more hand piecing on Sarah because I am up to date with Chester. These fat quarters would fit in really well with the rest of my Chester. Thanks for the giveaway!!!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Sharon! Well done! Today (and yesterday and the day before that) I'm confined to do nothing because saturday I severely hurt my right arm (and I'm righthanded) and it still hurts like...I wanted to sandwich a quilt, do some cleaning chores in anticipation of a possible visit from fellow quilters/friends (I always need a reason to clean), see what I want/need to buy in Nantes next week...I hate this confinement. I try to do some stitching (practically finished all the blocks of CCCQ), but it doesn't go well. Well, it will be better one day I suppose.
ReplyDeleteFor those who care : I called the doctor, he made a housecall (they do that in Belgium), prescribed pills (serious inflammation of some joint), I took one for now and things are already lighting up. Yeah for modern medicine!
ReplyDeleteI`ve been working today, but got off early and am going to quilt! Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteNice fat quarters! I'm just doing regular stuff around the house, supper, laundry, etc!
ReplyDeletetoday was work again after 2 weeks on holidays...wish I was finishing off the flimsy laying on the floor behind me or quilting the 2 cot quilts that I have ready to do, or maybe finishing off the third part of a new pattern that's almost done....
