Update: The winner is #89: Sarah J.
Welcome new and long-time visitors. If you're visiting from Giveaway Day, I'm so glad you came!
I have several more giveaways going on, so you might want to follow the Quilting Mod blog via Bloglovin', Feedly, or e-mail (in the sidebar) so that you don't miss out. I'm on Instagram too!
If you are a regular around here, I'd like to mention how much I appreciate you. I'd also be remiss if I didn't give you a heads up about the massive amount of fun sewing-related giveaways happening now at Sew Mama Sew.
Let's get to the details about the prize and how to get in the running. For your chance to win a seaside bundle including Seaside Quilts, the Under the Sea and Aloha Mermaid quilt patterns, Contempo and Shannon Cuddle charm packs, and a package of Scandinavian Swimmers (unless I'm hungry and find the temptation too great) tell me in the comments if you live anywhere near the ocean, unlike myself. For an extra entry, tell me how you follow the Quilting Mod blog. A winner will be selected Monday, Dec. 12.

ReplyDeleteI live outside of Washington DC, so the beach can be a 3 hour drive (Rehoboth, DE) or it can be a 7 hour one (Holden Beach, NC). We can get to Ocean City, MD in about 2 hours or Virginia Beach in 3 hours, but I like a beach that's less hectic.
