Mini-Charm Book by Martingale: 17 quick projects for a small budget - Giveaway

Mittwoch, 28. Februar 2018

You may have heard about the Martingale sampler book "MODA-ALL-STARS". Curated books about mostly a precut fabric format with projects from the Moda designer stars. We talked already about Bed Runners, Log Cabins and Mini Quilts.
Today's subject are the Moda precuts Mini-Charms.

You know that this package contains 42 fabric cuts of one collection, each 2 1/2" square. Such nice gifts to bring with you to your group or quilt buddy, like a sweet candy, only less calories, haha!

You might have got one or wonder what to do with the little packages - There are lots of ideas, 17 beautiful little projects, that you can sew quickly and save money. From cute wall hangers over table runners, book case and pillows: Martingale's MINI CHARM QULITS will make your fingers itching...






Let's have a sneak peak through the book:












Have you recognized your favorite designer's fingerprint? And are your fingers itching too? I think I would like to make that beautiful journal cover.

My contribution to the book is the Wonky Pinwheel Pillow in True Blue. The scrappy fabrics on a calm background look nearly as they would be rotating.



In the book you’ll also find revealing Q & As with each designer—it’s what makes each book in the “Moda All-Stars” series extra fun.

Together, the designers are donating royalties from the book’s sales to benefit the LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs Charity. The group’s mission says, “A dog is a friend who brings a calming influence, allowing people to open up their hearts and receive help for what is affecting them.”

GIVEAWAY

You have the chance to win a digital copy of MINI CHARMS QUILT. All you have to do is to tell me, what kind of mini project you would like to sew ( a pillow, mug rug, pincushion, pouch...)
Giveaway will be open until the Sunday evening.
