Winter has arrived in Ohio and here is the proof
IHAN Headquarters has been full with family for several days.
Maddy, our youngest daughter, Abby and James (R-L) are visiting ...there has been lots of decorating, arts and crafts, games and of course dress up too.
Aaron's version of a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree (that is play dough on the branches)
"Momma, are you interested in buying a snack...they are 25cents each?"
Zach decided he needed to raise a little holiday cash. He walked around Headquarters offering to sell snacks to those who may need a little nosh! (Paying twice for your groceries isn't always a bad thing..lol)
On to our Giveaway:
You may remember my first review of Square-agonals (click here if you don't) and how impressed I was and am with Sandi Blackwell's NO MATH method of making triangles and on-point blocks go together without the fuss and muss. Sandi's Square-agonal Method will take you from fabric that looks like the sample on the left to the fabric on the right...without ever setting in a triangle. Since her book has come out she now has some fun patterns and guide tapes.
Square-agonals Cutting Guide Tape - gives you a visual guide for the cutting and re-assembling process of your quilt sections as well as securing the bias edges. The tape can also be used as a guide for cutting of any quilt or fabric.
Square-agonals Arrow Guide Tape - makes it simple for you to mark the numbered sections of your layout design.
Sandi just so happened to be in Houston for Fall Quilt Market 2011 and look at all the beautiful patterns she bestowed upon me...and another autographed copy of her Square-agonals book.
If you leave a comment on this post promising me you will make a quilt/table runner/place mat/etc. using one of Sandi's patterns, I will put your name in the drawing to win. There will be three winners, one for Square-agonals book, and two others will receive a Square-agonals pattern. Entry comments close Monday Dec. 12, 2011.

What lovely patterns! I'd make a table runner for myself if I won. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I just finished making a table runner for our Christmas gift exchange and now I want one for myself.
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous giveaway! I plan on making more table runners for my children and so I'd definitely use one of Sandi's patterns if I'm lucky enough to win! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kelly! Your a sweetie! Enjoy your holiday and see you in Kansas City!...Sandi
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great giveaway. I would definitely make a quilt or table runner or topper if I'm the lucky one. Going to read more about her book.
ReplyDeleteOf COURSE I will make a tablerunner! Thank you for such a nice giveaway!

What a neat idea! I would love to try this one. I promise you I will make at least one (and probably several more) tablerunners!
ReplyDeleteI solemly swear that I will make a table runner if I am selected as one of the winners. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteIf I won...I would make a table runner.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely patterns! I promise I will make one! thanks for the lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love it when someone comes up with these wonderful ideas to make our quilting life easier. I would make a table runner but it will have to wait until after the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI promise to make a baby quilt if I win something!
ReplyDeleteOf course I would make a table runner or a set of placemats! Such cute patterns! Love that rad hair Rad Zach!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI will, I will!! I've become addicted to table toppers and use them all the time now. Rad Zach is so cool! VermontPines@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI would definitely make a table runner. I love the set in triangle patterns but don't always want to do the math. Thanks for the chance to win one of those wonderful patterns.
ReplyDeleteI would be willing to make a table runner so please put my name in Santa's hat!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Charlie Brown!
I'd made a table runner. I need one! thanks for giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try out her technique and one of her patterns. Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI am finishing up a large bed quilt right now, and I have decided to concentrate on making small projects like table runners and accent pieces. So I will for sure make one of these projects!
ReplyDeletePlease tell Zach that I love the hair....lol Yes I will promise you that I will make a table runner...Why you might ask because I want to make something for myself finally. I have made my Christmas gifts this year and am feeling left out and want to make myself something...so I would love to win...Happy holidays.
ReplyDeleteLove the family pics, and that Charlie Brown tree, my favorite! Don't enter me in the drawing though, I'd probably never make one, although they look fun!
ReplyDeleteI promise to make a table runner. I love to make small quilted items!
ReplyDeleteI promise. I have the fabric all ready. Thanks so much. Kathie L in Allentown
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!
ReplyDeleteOh I promise. I've been wanting to try this for a long time. Thanks and congrats to the winner.
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
I'd definitely make something and then probably demo it at our guild too. It's a fun technqiue which I need to go and reread about.
ReplyDeleteYes, I want the patterns....all the comments above (no offence) speak of little projects they promise to make. HA! I promise to make a full size quilt! Just saying.....
ReplyDeleteWell you know I am always up for another project. LOL Count me in! Thanks Kelly! It looks like your holidays are off to a great start!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to have another UFO???lol Honestly I will really really really try to complete a small project if I am lucky to win. Love the photos also of your family.
ReplyDeleteI promise I will make one, I just can't promise WHEN.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly and thanks for making this possible. I love the wig! I will definitely make a table runner if I win one of these prizes. They are really lovely and I have just the place for the runner. Hope you have a great Christmas, including some time for a break. We really appreciate all you do and love reading your blog. kind regards Sam
ReplyDeleteI promise to make a quilt or table runner if I win one of the prizes. I love to learn new techniques. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMe thinks you have sent winter south! We had a freeze last night and our tomatoes & peppers are now totally done. :( At least we don't have any of that white stuff!!!! (yet?) I've gotta ask, tho - why is young Zach holding his ears while he's catching snowflakes on his tongue?
ReplyDeleteLove the new do on Rad Zach! Looks like he's having lots of fun!
If I won, I'd definitely make a table runner (and I know just who would get it, too!!) using that tape & pattern (or book). You know how I am about math, and that method looks complicated to start, but probably gets easier as it goes along. Tho, I would guess the tape makes much more sense of it. You're very kind to be giving so much away all the time! You may have your winter back now, thank you very much.
On my honor as a quilter - I promise (can you tell I have been to a few too many Scout meetings of late?)
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome patterns! I promise to make either a tablerunner or quilt if I win! :) Thanks for a chance to win! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the Square-agonal book. Just thinking of what I could make makes me grin with pleasure.
ReplyDeleteI'm such a sucker for all kinds of rulers and just LOVE making tablerunners. (So much quicker than a full size quilt! Instant gratification!) Hope I win.
ReplyDeleteI promise I would make something. I do not promise when it will be finished! (And...I gave my rulers away yesterday at church!!)
ReplyDeleteoh i'd love a chance to make one of this patterns. I think i could even keep my promise to finish it!
ReplyDeleteI promise to make one - scout's honour!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely promise to make a table runner if I win... love the idea of simpler and quicker too! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteRad Zach will get after me if I don't promise, eh?? These are really cute patterns and the book, oh my. Does the technique work with FQs? I have a group of 8 Christmas fqs that say "use me". Thanks Kelly.
ReplyDeleteI'm always game for a new method and gadgets. Yes, I promise to make something from one of these goodies.
ReplyDeleteI sure would make a tablerunner or two or more. This sounds like a technique I will just have to try. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI promise to make a table runner at least! Thanks for the giveaway chance!

I enjoy your reviews very much. I do plan to buy the tapes. (after Christmas) I already see more uses for the tape in other projects. What a concept! And would sure make a quilt or more if I win.

Scouts Honor! I'll do it.
ReplyDeleteWe'd have to make a quilted item if we won? Since I'll be making quilted items even if I don't win, that's an easy promise to make! I'd love to try one of those patterns!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win a pattern of COURSE I'd make it :-)
