Do you have a quilter on your Christmas list? It is all right to include yourselves on that list, you know ;). Our sponsor Material Girl Kirsten is giving away her Toss Up quilt pattern today for a lucky reader just in time to get it under the Christmas Tree!
Here’s what Kirsten says about the PDF pattern:
“This pattern includes detailed diagrams for both fabric cutting and block construction. It is very beginner-friendly, and the quilt top itself has minimal corners to match and is very forgiving in both piecing and fabric placement.”
I’ve made a quilt using this pattern and it remains one of my favorites! I was glad to hear she wanted to share the pattern love with you too.

ReplyDeleteI would love to win this pattern. It would be a fun pattern to use for my new baby coming next year.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog. The strangest gift I ever received was some wierd split-end hair trimmer thing that were like electric cutter things. I was not putting it anywhere near my hair. I returned it and bought a purse instead.
ReplyDeleteI love the modern coin quilt. I want to make that one for me.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing is the Toss Up quilt pattern, it's been a favorite of mine one Etsy! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteWeirdest gift: a metal chicken. He became something of a mascot!
ReplyDeleteI also follow your blog!
ReplyDeleteThe weirdest gift by far I've ever gotten was packing peanuts covered in deer scent for a white elephant gift. Luckily I didn't touch any of the peanuts and just dumped them into another box before the giver said what it was.
ReplyDeleteI also follow your blog!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Garden Fence Quilt in Lime, Teal, and Charcoal. Great color combinations! I'm going to have to use them in the future.
ReplyDeleteHmm, the strangest gift I received was a hanging pot rack for the kitchen (sometimes my mum scores a winning goal with her gifts, others it's more of an own-goal!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win :o)

ReplyDeleteMy favourite quilt in the shop right now is a toss up between the modern coin quilt and the garden fence quilt

ReplyDeleteThe strangest gift I can recall was a 'mother' plaque with a poem on it. The strange part was it came from my mother in law.

And, you should really pick me for that quilt. I've been meaning to make one, so I would totally keep it for myself. The strangest gift . . . a HUGE stuffed animal horse from my fiance (now husband). Still to this day, don't know what he was thinking.

Love the coin quilt! Been meaning to make one of those too.

The strangest gift I ever received was a rug, not that weird, but I was 14 and was not too pleased. Couldn't think of anything else.

My favorite quilt is the Pink & Red Love Baby Quilt. I'd love to do something similar in chocolate browns and sage greens for my king sized bed!

ReplyDeleteThe strangest (but makes sense) gift I ever received was a wedding gift - rags.
ReplyDeleteYes, rags.
This sweet church lady told me the story of when she was first married how her husband came in looking for a rag to wipe off a greasy tool, and when he couldn't find one, grabbed one of their new, part of a matching set wash cloth. Needless to say, she was a little ticked off at new hubby, so to help me not be ticked off at my new husband, she gave me rags.
Totally not kidding.
At least they were nice rags, serged edge flannel and cotton. :)
I've been coveting the Toss Up pattern for about four months now, since I first saw it, so my first choice would the the Toss Up quilt on her website, followed closely by her Garden Fence Quilt - all those straight lines make me happy!
ReplyDeleteHi, lovely giveaway. I am a follower of your blog.
ReplyDeleteWe recieved quite a few strange gifts on our wedding day. Like a garden hose and hosereel, a garden spade and fork and 4 mixed fruit trees.
ReplyDeleteThe worst/weirdest gift my hubby ever got was a regifted edible undies. It was supposed to be a joke... they just got married and for a White Elephant game, they regifted the Edible undies. Guess who was lucky enough to get that box... awkward...Thank god the wrapping was still on the box.

ReplyDeleteMy fav item in her shop has to be Garden Fence Quilt - Lime, Teal, and Charcoal although the Modern Brown and Blue All Star Baby Quilt is adorable too! I just LOVE the colours on both!
ReplyDeleteI got cabbage-- and even stranger, it's something I am actually allergic to.

I would have to say a china hutch that I specifically said I didn't want. My step mom showed up at my house one day with it in a truck. Thanks for the giveaway! robyn(dot)geddes(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI already follow your awesome blog. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quilt in her shop is a three way tie between the Toss Up, the Girlie Cupcake and the Orange Ladder.
ReplyDeleteFinally--the strangest gift I got was a HHUUUUUGGGEEEE painting of a ship. Someone had this artist friend, and she was an OK painter, but this painting she had commissioned was not even remotely my taste or style, and I was renting a really small house and it was too large for any of the walls. It was about 5' tall by 3.5' wide, and the frame was this thick, gold antiqued mess... It was so big, I didn't even have room to store it anywhere!
ReplyDeleteOh you are going to just LOVE this one. I will never forget this Christmas gift I received EVER!! It was THE worst gift EVER! I think it would beat out almost any other 'bad' gift in the world. LOL
ReplyDeleteMy MIL (NOT the one I have now)gave me a turqouise, plastic handled feather duster. You know those really cheap ones you can buy at Wal Mart? And no, she'd never been to my house as they didn't drive so it's not because she was hinting I needed to clean my house. LOL To this day I have never figured out why she felt that was such a great gift for anyone. And NO! That marriage to her son did not last either.
I'm already following this here blog. :)
ReplyDeleteKirsten has some gorgeous quilts in her shop that I would love to buy. I don't see any patterns for these however so hopefully she's going to have them for sale soon.
ReplyDeleteThere are two that are beautiful;
The Blue Green Yellow Boy Quilt is awesome! And I love the Let It Snow Christmas quilt too.
The strangest gift I've ever received was a pewter plate shaped like a fish! We got it as a wedding gift, I think it was regifted...

ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Christmas Candy stars quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis is a bit of a doozie, so watch out! Before I got married, my parents moved into a rental home while their new home was being built. My aunt came over to help with the moving process and while cleaning out the cupboards, found a not-so-cute cookie jar. We all gathered round to see as she opened it. Inside was a huge, hairy monster!! She threw the jar at the sight of it and we all jumped ten feet back in fear! Turns out, it was a teddy bear stuffed into the jar, but if you had asked us then, it was an ROUS (rat of unusual size) out for blood! Anyway, she told me she was going to save the jar for when I got married... and she did. Now, every year we pass the cookie jar (which still houses the teddy bear and some cookie crumbs from the previous owner) from family member to family member, the guardian of which must display the cookie jar in plain sight until they give it away again. Well, last year, I was perusing a Goodwill and found the SAME COOKIE JAR! I knew I was getting the jar back for Christmas because it was in my aunt's hands again, so I quickly snatched it off the shelf, purchased it and wrapped it up for my aunt on Christmas. She nearly crapped herself when she opened her gift just minutes after I opened mine! Now there are two that make their rounds each year, and each year I get more excited when a cousin moves out of their parents' home because there is a new person who could end up with the jar instead of me!

ReplyDeleteI like the charcoal triangles quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm truly drawing a blank on the weird gift, so instead I'll tell you of a great gift I got. For our wedding my Mom surprised us with a complete bedding set she made for us. I had seen this set at a fabric store and had taken TONS of photos so that after we were married I could make it. The funny thing is I ended up using her camera that day so she had EVERY picture she needed to make the bedding. We still use it today and I love it just as much.

ReplyDeleteThe weirdest gift we ever received was a wooden banana stand. Who hangs their bananas??...anyway I would love to win this pattern.

The weirdest thing was an orange colored glass chicken shaped dish someone gave us for our wedding. It has a top and a bottom part and looked like it was straight out of the 70s.
ReplyDeleteI follow you!
ReplyDeletecupcake quilt hands down.
ReplyDeleteOh, my mother-in-law gave me a special plate for boiled eggs and matching salt-n-pepper 'thingies' in the shape of a hen and a rooster. Everything in a nice shade of brown. :)
