Giveaway 4_2104_1

Yippe Skippee!! It’s a giveaway over here at OPQuilt.com and I’ve got two prizes for you to choose from.  Of course you could say either, and that’s just fine too.

Giveaway 4_2104_2

Our citrus trees are bursting with limes, lemons and oranges all over Southern California, so I thought it only natural to put together a little something to celebrate Spring’s bounty, from our part of the world: a stack of six fat quarters in citrusy patterns and colors (and even one with homemade lemonade all over it).  Add in three different spools of Rainbows thread from Superior Thread, and . . .

Giveaway 4_2104_3

. . . a shapely little orange peeler that will help you zip off those skins to get to the eating (not recommended for kumquats — see below). They are waaaay too small.

kumquats

The thread behaves like a rayon, with a nice sheen and good color variegation, but it’s a trilobal polyester, and Superior’s great quality.  So that’s Giveaway #1.

Giveaway #2 is Sherri McConnell’s latest book, Fresh Family Traditions.  Somehow I ordered two, so that means I can give away one to you!  In your comment, choose between the book or the fabric/thread, and leave me a comment telling me your favorite citrus fruit and how you like to prepare it (lemon shortbread?  orange chicken? lime coolers?  homemade lemonade?).  This opens now, on Monday, April 7th, and will close on Wednesday, April 9th.  Followers are entered in twice, so if you’re not a follower, come and join us.

I hope you win a little sunshiney pack of fabrics, or a sweet new book from Sherri McConnell!

Thanks to all who entered.  Giveaway now closed.

  16. Hello Elizabeth – I pretty much like all citrus, so today I’ll pick this one: orange peel dipped in dark chocolate. Did you know it has no calories when a piece is handed to you as a road trip pick-me-up? Amazing. I’d love the book, please. Yesterday I finished my first ever quilt! A baby quilt, all laundered & folded & ready to give to our next door neighbors who are first-time grandparents. You inspired & helped me throughout the sewing & unsewing process. Many thanks. Harlan

  44. I’d love to check out a new book!

    I really love oranges but I usually buy the little clementines since they are so much easier to peel!

  45. I love the fabric and thread, so fresh and summery looking – lemonade too! I would love to win that – and i’ll use it for a table topper to serve anything, anything made with lemon curd! (Of course, I would read the book while munching lemon curd cookies also lol). Thanks for the chance to win

I found some Seville oranges many years later and made marmalade, it was so easy! Thanks for the giveaway either is fine with me!

  60. Thank you for the chance on either of the items. I would find the fabric giveaway very useful. I enjoy all citrus, Clementines for easy peeling but oranges are great too.

Thanks for the giveaway! svonfumetti at yahoo dot com
