Blogathon Canada In full swing.....

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you
 Blogathon Canada started on Monday and continues all week, so check out all the host bloggers( there are 14 of us!) across the country, and their giveaways! Open to everyone!
You can find the list with this link, or the button. Go ahead and back track to the earlier bloggers and enter their giveaways too!


Hi everyone, and welcome to Blogathon Canada sponsored by Sew Sisters Quilt Shop.

My name is Patti and I live in Saskatoon,Saskatchewan- aka The City of Bridges!
My quilting adventures began exactly 3 years ago when I took a quilting class at a local quilt shop.
I was truly hooked, and once I discovered all the new modern fabrics and patterns, I haven't stopped !
Here are a few of my favourite projects....
Yes, I love colour!
Also love paper piecing!
and cushions...
 and crafty stuff!!
I was so lucky that Who's Your Granny? was a finalist in the hand quilting category of the recent Blogger's Quilt Festival!
I've been blogging for about a year and a half, although after setting up my blog, I didn't post anything for months!
I love the blogging community, and have joined QAL's, swaps, quilting bees, and charity quilting. All things I would never have know about without blogs!
Something fun and new here in Saskatoon is the
 Saskatoon Modern Quilt Guild
The first meeting was a few weeks ago, and I think it's going to be great!
 I actually got to meet some local bloggers!
Are you ready for a giveaway?
Well, if you are anything like me, you adore Kona solids!
Here is a beauty of a bundle....5 colours...each is 1/2 metre!

Leave a comment here telling me your favourite Kona colour.
If you are a follower, leave a second comment.
Be sure that I have a way to contact you!!
The giveaway will remain open until the end of the Blogathon on November 24th
This giveaway is open to everyone!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and here are some amazing  bloggers you can find here in Saskatchewan!

Well to be honest the white is the one I use the most so I guess that's my "most bought" but I think the Turquoise is my favourite actual color so far ^^

Thanks a lot for the chance to win! =)

Leo said...

My favourite colour is green in all shades ...

Marjorie's Busy Corner said...

Hi Patti....I have to say;I love the bright yellow Kona. Great post!!

Zelda said...

I like your use of colours -- the combinations are intriguing. I consider myself colour challenged so I appreciate seeing how others combine colours and the effect it has on the quilt. Hmmm, my favorite would be the lime green -- so cheery!

Linda Crosby said...

Green has always been my favorite color but I do try to come out of the box and explore other options. thanks for chance to win these lovely shades.

JustPam said...

HI Patti,
Lots of great color on your blog- thanks for being a hostess for the Canadian blog athon. I am not a big solids girl but I do love the color purple so I am sure that there is Kona Solids that is deep purple.
There has been lots of terrific blogs to visit over the week- just trying to madly catch up and visit them all.
Regards from Edmonton,
Anna
