Batik Fabric Giveaway


*Giveaway is now closed*
Sew Sisters Quilt Shop_Giveaway
Recently I was contacted by Sew Sisters to see if I would be interested in hosting a sponsored giveaway and was told the prize would be batik fabrics.   I have never done a sponsored giveaway before and this one really fits well with my blog as you know how much I love batik fabrics.  I have also shopped from Sew Sisters online shop and received wonderful service.  It was a win win situation as my readers get the chance to win some beautiful fabric and Sew Sisters gets a spotlight on my blog.
If your new to my blog I’m a longarm quilter in Northern Manitoba that is passionate about quilting, loves to dye fabric and enjoys photographing my clients quilts in the beauty of our northern landscape.  Hope you’ll take a few minutes to browse the wonderful quilts that have come through the doors of Tamarack Shack!
The picture above is of the fabrics that are up for grabs, 4 half yard cuts of green batiks.   Sew Sisters has a Batik Lover’s Club where you can receive 4 half yards of batiks every month for $25.

‘Sew Sisters is a Canadian quilt shop dedicated to all things quilting. We have a large inventory of fabric, notions, books, kits and patterns. We conduct classes regularly for both beginners and advanced quilters and have many fun events through the year. We began as an online business 10 years ago. In our 5th year we opened our brick and mortar store here in Toronto. We believe a quilt shop is a quilter's "happy place" and we do everything we can to provide our customers with a special and happy experience both in the store and online.’
How to enter

1.  Leave a comment and tell me if you have made a quilt with batik fabrics before.
2.  Leave a second comment if your a follower. If you want to become a follower just click on the Join This Site button on my sidebar.
I’ll make the draw on Thursday, March 7.   International entries welcomed!
I’ll be turning the anonymous option back on for this week’s giveaway but please make sure that you leave your email so we can get a hold of you if you win.  Also if your using your Blogger account please make sure your not a ‘no reply blogger”.  If your not sure if you are please check out this link, it has a wonderful tutorial on how to fix that.
Good luck and thank you to Sew Sisters for sponsoring this giveaway!

    I have made quilts with batiks before, and every time I have been thrilled with the results. To me, it seems like the variety of batiks has really grown in the last 5 years or so. Plus they seem to get more and more beautiful.

    I love batiks! I've never made a whole quilt with them because they are pricey, but I've done table runners with them. Lately I've been looking at Eydita Sitar's quilts. She combines batiks and traditional prints so beautifully. I'm going to try a quilt like that. Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway! I'm so glad that I discovered your lovely blog!
