Welcome to A Quilter's Table! I'm pleased to have you stop by. It's Giveaway Day on Sew, Mama, Sew! but odds are you know that. So we'll get right to the order of business!
The giveaway I'm offering is a stack of fat-eighths of Summerville (24 fabrics), a fun, colorful line by lucie summers for moda.
To enter, just leave a comment on this post telling me what new technique you'd like to add to your quilting repertoire. The giveaway will close at 5PM PST on Friday, and I'll randomly choose a winner soon after. Any comments that inadvertently get left after 5PM but before I close off the contest will not be included. And I'm happy to ship international, so everyone's welcome. *Please include an email address in your comment if it is not accessible through your profile.*
Thanks again for joining in the fun! If you aren't a regular follower, I hope you visit again soon and join me on my journey of quilting and sharing around the table.

I'd like to learn hand applique a bit better, as I don't like the way machine applique looks - at all.
I'm working on learning to paper piece - how generous debbie, thanks!
I really want to learn how to fit a pattern to me. I have been sewing some clothing for myself but am having trouble with tops. Skirts and dresses or jackets are pretty good but then tops I made neither one fit right. Not sure why.
I'd love to learn to make a quilt by hand completely. I guess that would be more time needed which is always elusive. Thanks for the giveaway!
My next skill I want to learn is FMQ. Kinda scared to try but I will do it, eventually. :) Thanks for an awesome giveaway.
I'm learning paper piecing right now! Thanks for the chance!
I can't wait to try paper piecing. Thanks for the chance to win this great giveaway.
Arcs. I am going to learn to sew arcs with the little bit of Summersville I already have. This bundle would be lovely to add to what I have to make the quilt larger. Hopefully I have luck with my drunkard's path blocks as the last time I tried to sew an arc it did not work out well at all. I've been watching lots of tutorials!! :D
Thanks for such a generous giveaway.
Love this fabric, Deb. Thanks for the chance. I keep saying paper piecing when asked - guess I better actually try it this year :)
I've always wanted to FMQ but have been interested in paper piecing projects lately, so would love to learn that.
I want to be a master at piecing curvers and I would love to learn how to make cathedral windows !
Thanks for the chance !!
That's an easy answer: hand stitching on a quilt. I have no desire to hand quilt an entire one but but really want to try embellishing the finish. I see it done and it adds so much. Love Summersville and I'm a follower!

I've had only a hand driven old Singer to quilt with up until now so have only been able to quilt straight lines as one hand is always needed to drive the wheel. As a wedding present, I've just received a brand-spanking new electric Janome so I would really love to get to grips with free motion quilting. Thanks for the chance to win.

Beautiful fabrics! I just started doing FMQ, so I would definitely love to learn how to make "real" FMQ patters instead of just squiggly lines.
I'm still very, very new to quilting, so I'd like to try working with triangles. So far, I've only done squares and rectangles. Thanks for the chance!

Binding! I've never done it myself!
I'd like to learn paper piecing. It intimidates me so much.
