Since some of my posts are about my quilt blog travelling adventures, I thought a travel-themed fabric giveaway would be rather à propos. And while I was in Nova Scotia, I spied a few fabrics that I thought would be perfect.
So how do you enter? You have several options (and may do all three if you like):
1. Leave a comment on this post about what you would do with this bundle if you won it.
2. Leave a comment on this post about where your best trip ever was.
3. Leave a comment that you are a reader or have become a reader of my blog.
It's open to anyone anywhere until Sunday, August 28th at 8:00 p.m. EST. Please make sure that your email is either linked to your profile or you leave your email address in the comment so that I can contact the winner. I'll post the winner on Monday, August 29th.
Good luck and happy Wednesday!
I came from Quilting Gallery. I love your post there. I would use the fabrics to make a bag.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite trip was meeting my husband in Paris, France while he was there on business.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower of your blog. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteFound you through quilting Gallery.
ReplyDeleteI would make an international jacket.
Visit me in THE Netherlands on www.art2wearblog.blogspot.com
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI would use the material to make a quilt for our youngest daughter who is overseas on her gap year.
Happy days.

Oh my favourite trip was a family holiday to Tasmania a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteHappy days.

I love this fabric group.
ReplyDeleteI would make a throw for my daughter who is moving to Germany with her military husband who just got back from the war. She is also going to make her home decor "travel" since this is the beginning for her of overseas travels with her family. We lived in Switzerland when she was a child..and she learned French there. I was also born in Germany to a military dad! It would be PERFECT.
THank you
Hope

ReplyDeleteI found you trough the quilting gallery. Your folded your fabric so that yoy can see Holland and that is where I live. I like to make cushions form this fabric for my caravan, so the fabric can travel with us.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower now.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite trip...was a complete circle around the USA with our five children. We stopped so many places and collected postcards ..some very funny and unique from the States we visited. We saw old friends and family all along the way..and some hilarious stories.
ReplyDeleteLike my youngest said as we entered Kentucky..It SMELLS like CHICKEN here (hinting for some KFC chicken) then my other son as we crossed a border line...the scenery NOT changing..said.."IT's much prettier here"! We continue to enjoy that trip to this day.
THANKS FOR THE FUN
HOPE

ReplyDeleteI came from Quilting Gallery. I would used it to make a lovely bag :)
ReplyDeleteMy best trip is travel to Beijing, China to celebrate my birthday in year 2005.
ReplyDeleteHi! I've come over from Quilting Gallery and what a FUN way to travel. We live in our RV full time, so you know I love travel!!! I've become a new follower, and I can't wait to see where we go next!
ReplyDeleteBlogger hates me (sometimes I can comment, sometimes not) so I just leave my email: kcallander989(at)gmail(dot)com
Favorite trip? Gotta be the next one, wherever it may be. Although, the trip across Canada to Alaska had some pretty cool highlights...but, then there's the one to Hawaii (not yet taken), and Italy (also not yet taken), and probably a dozen more, some taken, some not, that get me salivating for adventure!
ReplyDeleteBlogger hates me (sometimes I can comment, sometimes not) so I just leave my email: kcallander989(at)gmail(dot)com
And what would I do with such fabulous fabric? Well, we have some friends who met in the Peace Corp, and they have this world map with pins showing where all they have gone...and this fabric is soooooo much like that, I'd love to make them some kind of wall art to go with that picture!
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving away such fabulous treasures!
Blogger hates me (sometimes I can comment, sometimes not) so I just leave my email: kcallander989(at)gmail(dot)com
I always take my own pillow when we travel, so I would make a wonderful pillow case with these fabrics.
ReplyDeleteChoosing the best place I have ever traveled in a difficult one. We (me and Mr. Romance) have had so many wonderful adventures. In the States it would have to be Niagara Falls, Canada! In Europe, visiting the Normandy Beaches in France.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog. Thanks for a chance to win! Come over to my blog and enter my giveaway, too!
ReplyDeleteToday I'm working on a tea cozy and think this fabric would make another pretty one. Or I'd use it for a quilt.
ReplyDeleteI've joined you as a follower and added your blog to my reading list. I very much enjoyed your post at Quilting Gallery. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy sister is the world traveller and I'm the stay at home sewer so a bag for her would be a perfect project. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your post at QG. Best trip was to the West coast of Canada. Visited relatives in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.
ReplyDeleteMy first time to the Pacific Ocean.
That fabric is telling me it needs tp be made into a mini! It would be wonderful for an international swap.
ReplyDeleteBest trip ever....a weekend get away with my boys to Marrow Bay California. Most beautiful spot I've ever been. I keep it on my weather channel ap on my phone just to let me know that there are places in the world where it is not 100+ degrees in August.

Love your idea of "traveling" the blogs! If I won this travel FQB I just might have to travel a few myself for some cool ideas. Thanks for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteI think my best trip was for our Silver Wedding we went to Lake Maggiore in Italy our hotel was right on the side of the lake the views were fabulous, all the locals used it for their wedding reception because the pictures with the lake in the background were beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe top fabric would have to be a bag how good would that look! Thanks for the giveaway. Linda

ReplyDeleteMy best trip ever was when my husband and I just took off from Ohio -- everything unplanned. We hit our family cabin in Pennsylvania. Then we went to Niagra Falls. After that it was a trip around the lake on the Canadian side and we came down somewhere near Decatur, IL to visit a relative. It was nice just driving until we needed a hotel and not worrying about a schedule. Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy best trip was to Austrailia about 6 years ago. It was just my husband and I and we went for 3 months. We not only visited our friends but went to a lot of tourist places to, like Ayers Rock and Cairns. We have been lucky enough to live there twice when our children were little so we've enjoyed the wildlife and wildflowers too.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the giveaway!!! The fabric is beautiful, and if I won, I would use it in a photo memory quilt with a "travel" theme. Wouldn't that be the perfect fabric to coordinate with photos of us from our different travels, trips, holidays, Vacations?
ReplyDeleteI am NOW a follower of your blog! ;c)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite trip. . . is the one I take each year the 3rd weekend of October. each year during this same weekend is Bridge Day Festival in Fayetteville, WV. It's the world's longest arch bridge and during this one day they let people walk on it and under it. People parachute and zipline off of it and there are hundreds of vendors and 10s of thousands of people. We go camping and just enjoy the amazing fall foliage that is the Appalachian mountains in this area.
ReplyDeleteI've had many a great trip, but my best recent one was a tour of England with my fiance!
ReplyDeleteI quilt for World of Charity Stitching and I would make a lap quilt for someone in the nursing home because I think maybe it would bring back memories of a trip they may have taken.

Newfoundland is pretty special. New York and the surrounding states this past spring were pretty awesome, too. Heck, pretty much anywhere fascinates me to no end!
ReplyDeleteI would most certainly use these fabrics to make a quilt. Probably a quilt for one of the world travelers in my family. I have a few through whom I live vicariously.

ReplyDeleteI enjoy almost all of the travel I do, but my favorite trip was probably the 7 days in Rio de Janeiro for my honeymoon (it was my honeymoon, after all!). Plus, it was before 9/11/01, so travel was less onerous and had more service and less fees!
ReplyDeleteCute fabric - would make a really nice tote. Thanks for the chance to win it.
ReplyDeleteI have been to Zihuatanejo Mexico twice with a friend who loves to just sit on the beach & read like I do. Plus exploring the old Mexican market & town & walking the beach at all hours. Both trips were the BEST ever.
ReplyDeleteI read your post at Quilting Gallery and I'd love to have those fabrics to make a passport/travel wallet, for one of my daughters who is going to Fiji in a few months. I've just made one for one of my daughters who is travelling to the US but would love to use the fabrics you have chosen. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteThe best trip ever was my first - and only - overseas trip (it's a long way from Australia to almost anywhere!)way back when I was in my mid 20's. It left such a lasting impression, that my big plans for our 25th wedding anniversary in 2013 is to head to Europe and Britain again.
