Day 31 of 31 Days of Giveaways - Twice As Nice...Plus More

IHAN's 30 Days of Giveaways
Anniversary Celebration
Day 31

by Anne Dease
and



We can't stop the giveaways until everything has been given away right?  RIGHT!!  Everyone is going to want this Twice as Nice....Plus More pattern booklet by Anne Dease.  Why?  Because with this pattern you can make two or three quilts at the same time.  All you need is a Jelly Roll and a few additional fabrics to make two and even three quilts. 

Quilt in a Day didn't stop at the pattern, they also sent the 9 1/2 inch Triangle Square Up Ruler to go with the pattern.  Now all you need is a Jelly Roll and some fabric for borders, binding and backing. 

Thank you so very much for these lovely gifts Quilt In A Day and Eleanor  I will really enjoy them.....oops I mean.....a lucky IHAN blog writer will enjoy these....ok I've got to get this straight....one lucky IHAN blog reader will be thrilled to win and I'll be so sad to see the 9 1/2 inch Triangle Square Up Ruler and Twice as Nice Plus More pattern booklet leave IHAN headquarters. 

If I were not counting  hundreds of comments I'd run downstairs and whip up a sample to show everyone Twice as Nice Plus More quilts....but I would make lots of folks very sad so you are just going to have to settle for the beautiful photos on the pattern. 

I posted Eleanor's book, Day and Night Quilt  earlier in this giveaway and let everyone know about her Newsletter, Community Forum, and Blog....I think I left out her Facebook page....but I want to know who signed up for the Newsletter, checked into her blog or Facebook page.  If you did please leave that in your comment on this post....I'm just curious :)  I forgot to mention there are Free Patterns on Quilt in a Day's website...we love free patterns :) 


Don't forget to pre-order Eleanor's new book, "Quilt Blocks on American Barns."  I don't know who started the rumor that the title of the books was, American Tattoos on Biker Babes Booties (a lie).  Some folks just can't get their facts straight :)

There are move giveaway announcements tomorrow so stay tuned!! 

Smiles,
Kelly

  4. It is hard to decide which part of this prize is the best--the pattern, the ruler, the pattern, the ruler......hard to decide. I guess if I won them I would be able to make up my mind. THanks!

  6. I can't believe what a spectacular giveaway and all the sponsors you got to help you pull it off.

    The Triangle Square Up Ruler is just what I need. I can't seem to cut anything straight. I either need a good ruler or good therapy, whichever lets me me explore the most sewing.

  7. This looks fabulous and I would be happy to win this. I went to the site but I am very glad you provided the link to the free pattern section as I would not have found it otherwise! Lovely though once I got there. I might have to persevere and look for all the other stuff that is not immediately obvious!

I have been receiving QIAD newsletters for quite a long while, and I am a member of her online Community Forum too (for about 3 years). Thanks so much for including the Queen of quilting in a day in your giveaway prizes!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I have been getting Eleanor's newsletter for a loooooong time - just checked out her blog too. I use the QIAD 61/2 inch square up ruler all the time so the 91/2 would come in handy too! and the book sounds great. Thanks.

  62. what a neat pattern. I think it would be really neat to cut out 3 quilts at once. I hate cutting so that would help. Also love QIAD. I did go and read her Blog and am now following it on my reader. I can't wait to see the new books, their ideas for piecing are so different.

    ReplyDelete
  63. My first ever attempt at a quilt was Log Cabin QIAD! I have several of her rulers including the fly geese and love her fast technique for HST units. Could really use a good square up ruler for my collection.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I love to use technique rulers and the Quilt in a Day directions are always easy yo follow. TRhanks for your hard work.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Tools are wonderful and often hard to find. Eleanor Burns has some great methods. I'm waiting to see her new book on the Quilt Barns -- we have some wonderful local Quilt Barn Trails about an hour away in NC.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Totally awesome! I'd love to win this one. Thanks so much to IHAN and Eleanor.

    ReplyDelete

    Please do count me in.

  79. Please enter me in this lovely drawing, I could really use the ruler, I am just starting to collect my own rulers, I would love the book to, after all that is how I learned how to make quilts, from books.

    ReplyDelete

  82. I am a fan on facebook of Eleanors. She is a great inspiration to me. I started to quilt because of a quilt I saw her make on PBS. I am still quilting now 10 years later. Go Eleanor! I would love to win any of her patterns. pamspinks.blogspot.com

  84. Hi Kelly!

    I've been off the grid. Now back online with an intermittent connection and still struggling with a cranky computer!

    Taxes just got filed - and paid - waaah! I couldn't let myself try to join in on your celebration before this and other commitments.

    So, no, I didn't get to Eleanor's yet. I'm looking forward to seeing who wins all of these wonderful give-aways and reading all the comments.

    You create an amazing energy with all you do and for everyone you touch. Congratulation on Day 31!!

    ReplyDelete
  85. Sounds great! Would love to win these. Love your wit too.
    Kathy

    ReplyDelete
  86. It sounds great to me!, it's awesome to make two or three quilts in one!!!, I'm going to take a peek to her blog and fb page ;)

    ReplyDelete
  87. Oh my, I enjoyed my visit to Eleanor Burns' blog the other day. I had a class with her where? maybe San Marcos once upon a lifetime ago, and also one in Anchorage a different lifetime ago. Her rulers are perfect for the kind of work I do, (messy). Hope I win.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Wow! What generous folks are over there at QIAD!! And what control you have, Kelly, for not keeping these to yourself!! Thanks for counting me in on this giveaway. It would be a dream!

    ReplyDelete
  89. Please count me in this giveaway - thanks!

  90. OOH the book is a great idea. I love jelly roll books!

    ReplyDelete
  91. I'm ready to make 3 quilts at once--just show me how!!

    I was already signed up for Eleanor's newsletter--she has some outrageous sales!!!! Now, if she can just give us hints on picking up those cute younger men....(wink, wink, i know it was her son)☺

    ReplyDelete

  94. Ooohhh, I'd love to win this too! Thank you for the fun month! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  95. Make three quilts at once!! That sounds great!! Just what I need. You definitely wouldn't get bored doing one project, would you? I love rulers, but do not have the 'Triangle Square Up Ruler 9 1/2in.' It would be a great help, if I am going to be working on three quilts. I need all the help I can get!!!

    ReplyDelete
  96. This has been a FUN RIDE and I want to thank you for all your generosity. I am sure you are exhausted after all this. Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!
    I became a fan of Eleanor and checked out her websites. So fun.
