Day 20 of 30 Days of Giveaways - Texture Magic and Patterns by Annie

IHAN's Day 20 of the
30 Days of Giveaways
Anniversary Celebration

and
from Patterns by Annie 




If you did not see my first post on Texture Magic you need to click here for some incredible tutorials on using Texture Magic.  Everyone else will be happy to know that Annie Unrein from Patterns by Annie has added one of her patterns with todays Texture Magic Giveaway!!  Wow, Thank You Annie!!!! 

I know some of you may be thinking, why give us a basket on Easter, right?  Oh don't pretend that did not fly through your mind.....I know....I've done it myself.  But, I also know that if we had done the drawing last week that everyone would have missed another 12 days of giveaways.  Who would want to miss that ?  Not me :)  Besides, if you are like me, you "think" you'll get to that project fast......but your stack of UFO's are probably as big as mine...LOL.

Since it is Easter and I want to go have some dinner with my family here in Ore-Land-Oh I'm going to end with a quick piece of information I found very cool.  Dr. Bob from Superior Threads has written a book and you know if he teaches classes on Threadology that this book must be a good one. 

The School of Threadology Book contains over 90 pages of educational information condensed from 10 years of Bob's research and newsletter education. This is the book used in our School of Threadology. Reference Guides are also included. Worth $10,000.  But the only price Dr. Bob is charging his friends is 19.95....good for us :)

To have a package of Texture Magic and Annie's Pattern, The Occasional Basket, to the address of choice for one lucky IHAN blog reader, please leave us a comment telling us what type of basket you will make and thank Dr. Bob and Annie for their generousity.

Smiles,
Kelly

Thank you for your patience as there have been computer problems with my blog and website.  I'm having the web master work on the problem.  Like they say....don't sweat the small stuff right?  Right!!!

  1. Sorry you have computer problems. Not fun. Blogger has also been having problems. Still, I hope the IHAN team is having fun at DisneyWorld!

    And, as far as Texture Magic, I'm looking forward to making a quilt wallhanging design that I think would be perfect for texture magic (and superior threads). Have been planning this for awhile and can't wait to make it.

  2. Thank you Dr.Bob and Annie for adding to the IHAN give away, very generous of the 2 of you. I would like to make a basket for Christmas and fill it with Christmas decorations. Thanks for the chance to make one, Sharonj.

  4. I have NO idea what I would do with the texture magic thread. I'd have to see some more ideas in order to capture the vision.
    Happy Easter

  5. Thank you Dr. Bob and Annie for your generosity. I basket I would make would be used on the floor next to my bed to put my book, crossword puzzle, etc.

  6. Computer problems must be going around, my computer crashed at work...at least we have a tech that can do the trick to fix it I hope:) I would love to try some texture magic out on a basket. A basket would come in handy for all my fabric scraps I am organizing for scrap quilts, yes I am getting all those little fragments of fabric in order so they will become quilts. A girl can dream right:) Dr. Bob's book sounds fascinating I would love to learn $10,000 worth of knowledge on thread, so much to learn, so little time. Thanks Kelly! Jenna Lousie

  7. Oh, my...so many ideas...a basket to hold Christmas cards as they arrive here....a basket to hold Halloween treats.....a basket made of sewing-themed fabric that could hold spools of thread........I'm sure I could make good use of that book!!!

  8. A big thanks to Dr. Bob and Annie. I have been wanting to try texture magic since I first saw it online. I still have not seen it in person.

    I would make a nice basket to carry my sewing/quilting stuff for weekend trips and just from room to room.
    It would also be a great basket to carry all my winnings (hopefully) from IHANs 30 days of giveaways.

  9. Thanks to Dr Bob and to Annie and certainly to YOU!

    I think I would make a basket to fill with some sort of goodies and take to an assisted living facility for my mom or a friend in a different facility. Not breakable? Good to store things in? That makes sense.

  10. Thank you Dr. Bob and Annie - how generous you are! I would make an Easter basket of course. I just might get it done before next Easter. Oh I would have to make two Easter baskets - one for each of my grandchildren.

  13. These prizes are so great! Thank you Dr. Bob and Annie for your generosity. Thanks again Kelly for putting this all together.

    I suppose I would have to make a hand basket. I have been told I am going some place specific in one, so I might as well make my own and be comfy in it.(Design note; probably want an insul-bright lining & a water bottle holder in there....)

    I think I would also have to make one to hold my daughter's crayons.

  16. I'd make a basket to use as a scrap catcher when I'm quilting. Wouldn't a pretty basket filled with pretty scarps look wonderful?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Can one ever have too many baskets? I would like to make a basket for my loose quilt patterns.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I would make storage baskets for my children's rooms. Everything can't be in its place if there isn't a place to put it.

  20. I would make a basket and fill it with rolls of fabric. Wouldn't that be the perfect Easter basket for a quilter???

    ReplyDelete
  21. I just love the Bolsa Texturizaday Accesorios patterns. I have never made a basket but I am a big basket collector and I would love to give it a try. Maybe a basket for my bathroom to hold my face creams (being nice here, they are really wrinkle creams but I still got the wrinkles)

    ReplyDelete
  22. I have seen a demo on the texture majic and looks really interesting.

  24. Three cheers and a few beers to Dr.Bob for the Texture Magic and Annie for her All Occasion basket pattern!
    I just saw a sample of Texture magic at my LQS. They made a glasses cozy out of it so I think we could 'one up' that by making a basket out of it! I'd like a basket to keep my hand embroidery nearby while simultaneously adding to the decor of the room!

  25. First thanks for your generosity to both Bob and Annie. I would make a basket to hold fat quarters for my quiliting room.

  40. A great big thank you to Dr. Bob and Annie for their generosity. I would love to make a basket for a new baby at church that has 3 brothers and 1 sister. It would be perfect to carry everything in to give him a bath, and would make moms life easier.

  47. I need a basket to keep all my tools together when I sew in the living room. Right now, everything is on the windowsill or pushed to the back of the side table where grandson can't reach...yet! Need a quick pickup basket to get it out of his reach!

    ReplyDelete
  57. A Superior thank you to Dr. Bob and Annie, too! I think it would be fun to make a basket and embellish it with a Texture Magic sunflower experiment. I think if I sew the fabric for the sunflower head in a spiral it will Texture Magic-ally turn into sunflower seeds!

    And a Superior Day 20!

  58. I would like to make baskets for my quilting room to store fabrics, notions, patterns, etc. Attractive organization...wow! The texture magic would be fun to try on bags and purses. Thanks to Annie, Dr Bob and IHAN for the giveaways. I have learned many things. Glad I stumbled upon this site.
