decisions...decisions....Giveaway!

Update: #88 Barb!!
Thanks you mama's AND Papa! :)
Barb let Corrie know which pattern you would like.
We're loving Yellowstone. Wish you were!
Today's winner will have to decide between two new patterns from Yoyomama.
Yoyomama, aka Marlene Miller, is introducing:
The Fort Street Market Bag -- perfect for beach, workout, library, school & baby.

and.....drumroll please.....


the Vintage Circle Quilt, a follow-up to the very popular - Vintage Baby Quilt.




Same technique, a raw/soft edge applique. You sew all of the layers at one time, thus when you're done sewing, the quilt is machine quilted and just needs to be bound. Love that.







The pattern includes directions for a 40" by 40" or an 80" by 80".



This is a great 5" charm square pattern.

She also has 4" and 5" templates, to make the cutting go faster & easier!





Leave a comment about what kind of mama you are.


Tonight I'm dutchovenmama. Tasty.

Random drawing later tonight. Good luck!

Zarina said...

I'm a mama mak long - the eldest aunty for my nephew & nieces. I am their mama when their parents are not around. The eldest two will get my permission before doing anything even though their parents are in the same room with me. I always say NO about buying toys/goodies/etc but they love me to pieces.

Georgia said...

According to my 3 year old (!!), I am "The Bossiest Mummy in the World". Hmph! .

Lizzie said...

Well, I think that I could quite easily be a 'Hot Chocolate in the Snow Grandmama'(not that we've had any snow yet this year) but I like the sound of that. I also like the sound of that beautiful vintage circle pattern, I think even I could machine quilt that!!

Katy said...

I'm a 'gonna-tear-all-my-hair-out-if-you-don't-get-showered-soon-darn-daughter' mama today. One week in to summer, and at almost midday she isn't dressed. Joy.
I don't think I could choose between the 2 patterns - I would love them both!

Gene Black said...

Liz B. said...

I'm not a mom, but right now I'm a math mama--my friend is an event coordinator who is planning a gambling party, and I got stuck working at the craps table! :P It is very complicated and I am very nervous. I will be happy once Saturday night is over and I never have to see a craps table again!
Love both the patterns, but I've never done raw edge applique before so would love to try the quilt. Thanks for the chance!

Susan Cahill said...

My kids are grown up and now I have 9 wonderful grandkids. I was known as Nazi Mom when my kids were younger but being strict gave them a good foundation when they went out into the world.

I love the quilt pattern, looks like it would be a great stash buster.

That's the one!

Today, I am a NancyDrewmama. I just installed an older Nancy Drew game on our new computer for my kids that they have been wanting to play again. The new Nancy Drew comes out next week. It is a great game to play on those rainy summer days and we have had a lot of those.

May Britt said...

Ohhhhh......such a lovely giveaway. What kind of mama I am?? The one who yesterday gave my DD (21 year old)two charmpacks of Moda fabric to play with. She had complained to me over the tablerunner she sewed for herself last year and that I have "worn out" on my table LOL

SandyQuilts said...

I love the bag.

And I'm a Nanny-Mama ..... keeping my GC all summer and every day after school.

Michele said...

I'd be happy with either, but if I have to choose, it would be the quilt pattern.

I'm a grand-mama and on Saturday I'm heading to Oregon to visit my 16-mo old grandson, Evan.

paintergal said...

I'm a shoppingmama, hoping to hit some boutiques later today.

I've made the vintage baby quilt and now am working on a smaller size for a doll (big sister to the baby).
It's a cute pattern.

I would choose the bag pattern, for a different project.

Anonymous said...

Right now I'm a one-tough mama--with a soon-to-be 16 year old testing his wings and testing me! It' that point in the summer when they're getting a little bored and resisting "the routine." Time like this I just wanna be by myself & sew.
