Giveaway Day 12.9.13

Welcome to the Life of Riley blog for the Sew Mama Sew giveaway day!

 *THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED*


 If you're new here, I do a lot of quilting, some other crafty sewing and occasionally talk about my family and some food.  You'll find tabs at the top where you can find my recipes, tutorials and completed quilts.
Here's a collage of some of this past year's completions.  You can see there is a bit of every kind of quilting around these parts.

 The reason you're here:  Today's prize package includes a Fabric basket, a Schnibbles Pattern called Honeycomb and FOUR charm packs of Riley Blake's Prairie Rose. (great name)

 You can find a tutorial to make your very own fabric basket *here*.

 Why four charm packs?  So you can make a decent size quilt.  Each pack has 24 squares, for a total of 96 5" squares for you!

How do you win?

1. First Chance to win: Leave me a comment telling me your favorite holiday food.  Doesn't have to be Christmas, maybe you have a hankering for Cadbury Eggs all year, or Candy Corn, whatever it is, tell me about it.

2. Second chance: Be a follower, new or old.  Leave me a comment telling me that you are and how. e.g. feedly, bloglovin, email, etc...

3. I am happy to ship internationally!

4. Giveaway ends December 13 at 5 p.m. PST.

5. I  will choose a winner via Mr. Random.org from all the eligible comments by December 15.  I will email the winner and also write a blog post announcing the winner.

6. I must have a way to contact you.  Either leave an email address in your comment, or make sure yours is embedded in your blogger profile.

7. Mean Moment: If I cannot contact you, or if you do not answer my question, I will choose another winner.  I know there are lots of blogs out there doing giveaways, but I don't appreciate the generic "thanks for the giveaway" comment.  I'm being generous with giving stuff away, you can give me a one word answer about food.

Good Luck!

*I try my very best to reply to comments on a daily basis, however, due to the volume of comments on giveaway day, it isn't feasible.  I do appreciate and read each and everyone, though.  Thank You*

May 6, Giveaway Day!

Welcome!  Today is Giveaway Day organized by Sew, Mama, Sew!

If you're new to The Life of Riley, I hope you'll spend some time looking around.  I'm a SAHM of four with #5 due in late July.  Most of the sewing I do is quilting, but clothing and other crafty things also make their way onto the blog. I've got tabs at the top of the page with all my quilt finishes for the past couple of years. Following is a mosaic of some of my favorite and most popular quilts.

You can also find me on Twitter & Flickr where I post occasionally.
I'm still waiting for someone to code Instagram for Windows Phone......

So, we all know why you're here, let's take a look at the goodies.

 A rainbow stack of SIX Robert Kaufmann Kona Solids Fat Quarters

 Pincushions Book by Carmen Daumer

 Thimbleberries Small Wonders Quilt Book by Lynette Jensen

 Eye-Catching Quilts from Quiltmaker Magazine

 That's one prize package of three books and a stack of 6 fat quarters up for grabs.

How to enter:
1. Leave me a comment on this blog post about making a rainbow quilt.  Have you made one?  Do you want to?  What kind of pattern would you use?  Or just say, "hey".
2. For an extra entry, be a follower or become a new follower, and tell me how you're currently following this blog. i.e. feedly, bloglovin, email, or some better blog reader I've never heard of....
3. Please make sure I can contact you if you are the winner, either by leaving your email in the comments or making sure you are blogger-enabled.  I will ship world wide :)

**24 hours into the giveaway, I have noticed many comments as no-reply and no email given.  If I can't reach you, you won't win.  Here is a quick tutorial to see if you are a no-reply blogger.  If you aren't sure, just leave your email in the comments.  For example:  rsriley (at) gmail (dot) com**


4. The giveaway is open to comments until May 10, 5 p.m. PST.  I will then choose and contact the winner within a reasonable amount of time.  I will also post the winner on a blog post.  The winner has 48 hours to reply, or another winner will be chosen.

Good Luck!
*E.T.A. Due to overwhelming response, I don't think I'll be able to reply to each comment, but thanks for stopping by, I really enjoy reading them!

And I'll leave you with the weekend's project.
