Welcome ChristaQuilts! (+ giveaway)

I hope you’ll join me in welcoming ChristaQuilts as my newest sponsor! Christa tells me that she loves all things modern and especially enjoys machine quilting and machine applique techniques. She sells lots of colorful fabrics in her store and also a great selection of quilt kits (with free US shipping!). In addition running her shop, she also maintains her blog, where you can find many great tutorials and quilt-alongs. She also did a great series of posts about QuiltCon, including three posts showing all the award winning quilts (so fun to see them all in one place!)

In fact, one of her recent tutorials, Charming Chevrons, was shown at QuiltCon and it’s made entirely from Kona Solids. I always love seeing quilts made solely of solids. I’ve only made a couple myself, but each time I see one I’m reminded that I should make another! Those of you who also love solids will be happy to read that for today’s giveaway, Christa is offering one lucky blog reader a set of 8 Kona solid fat quarters of their choice!

(a few of my favorites – Kona Aqua, Melon & Olive) 

To enter, please leave one comment here. If you’d like, take a peek at Christa’s shop to see her selection of Konas and let us know your favorite colors. I’ll select one winner on Sunday evening.  Update: A winner has been selected by random.org! And the winner is lucky number 135, Cricket, who loves Kona Fern (and also the way Christa organizes the Konas by color).
