Today, April 15th, we are Giving Away... (PRIZE CLAIMED)


Over $75.00 Worth of Beautiful Material from The Material Girls Quilts

Let’s sing it together,

“Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl.”

Are you a material girl? Do you love to design, create, and sew using gorgeous, high-quality material? Is there a sewing project such as a quilt, apron, skirt, or baby blanket that you have kept on the back burner because you have not yet found the perfect fabric? Well bring that project to the front burner because today I am going to introduce you to the beautiful fabric of The Material Girls Quilts. And guess what? They are giving some of it away!! For free. To you. If you are our lucky winner. Yipee!

The Material Girls Quilts is located in South Jordan, Utah. My mom frequents The Material Girls Quilts quite often and she has assured me that they have some of the finest fabric available. And believe me, my mom knows her fabric. But you do not have to live in Utah to own some of The Material Girls Quilts' material. You can order fabric and much more from their online store. Here's just a sample of what they offer:
Beautiful Fabric (this is a Jelly Roll from Moda)


Kits of all kinds (such as quilt, clothing, bag, and apron kits)

Books and Magazines (I like to include these with a gift for my mom on Mother’s Day or birthdays)

And much, much more. Visit The Material Girls Quilts online store here to discover all their amazing products.

Today The Material Girls Quilts is giving away A Jelly Cake which is a Jelly Roll, Layer Cake, and Charm Pack (valued at over $75.00). This is such an awesome giveaway—a seamstress’s dream. But maybe some of you aren’t seamstresses, and that’s okay. But I bet know you someone who is. And maybe that someone is your mom (Mother’s Day is around the corner) or a friend, or a sister. You should enter to win and then you can give the prize to them. Or better yet, enter to win, and then call them and let them know about today’s giveaway so that they can enter too. They will be so grateful.
They will also be grateful to know that The Material Girls Quilts is offering a 20% DISCOUNT off of one regular priced item. This is good through April 22. To redeem, you must say that you are a follower of Give Away Today upon check-out.

Today you can enter to win the Jelly Cake from The Material Girls Quilts up to THREE times.

For one entry, leave your first and last name in a comment.
Example: Jane Doe

For a second entry visit The Material Girls Quilts here. Look at all of their beautiful products--including their fabric. Then come back to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and your favorite product.
Example: Jane Doe: Gypsy Rose Jelly Roll

For a third entry, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and an item you have given to someone that you made for them out of fabric OR something special that you own that someone has made for you out of fabric. And this isn’t a requirement for the third entry, but if you want to show us all a picture of this special item, we’d love to see it! Do a post about your special item on your blog and leave your url with your comment so that we can visit your blog. Be sure to do a link back to Give Away Today in your blog post.
Example: Jane Doe: Each of my four children currently sleeps under a beautiful quilt that my mom made for them. On each of their quilts my mom has placed a little tag that says “Made with Love by Grandma Faye”. I love and cherish my children’s quilts. And those are just four of the quilts I treasure. I have at least two others. I believe quilts are gifts that can be treasured for a lifetime.

The winner of the Jelly Cake from The Material Girls Quilts will be announced tomorrow Thursday, April 16th. Please visit us then to see if you are our winner and to check out our new giveaway for the day. Thank you to everyone who entered our Mother’s Day Contest. The entries are now closed. We will announce our finalists right here on Give Away Today on April 27, 28, and 29th. You, our wonderful readers, will choose our Mother’s Day winners.

Anne Clawson: Well technically I made it for myself, but for Christmas my mom gave me everything necessary to make my own quilt, including her sewing expertise. I think it means more to me that she didn't just give me the finished product, but gave me the opportunity to learn the technique for myself.

I took a bunch of his old uniform shirts, jeans, and other things that didn't fit and made Quilt Patches added in fabric squares from some of my things, also he love Coca Cola and John Deere tractors added some of those squares. The Quilt was great he loved it a lot. He lost his fight with cancer and was buried with his Quilt of Love.

Jess :) said...

Jessica Mount: I make all kinds of purses and accessories for big kids, but my favorite creation has been a simple sundress I made for my niece. She's three years old and truly the sweetest little girl I've ever met. She is obsessed with the Disney Princesses and often thinks of herself as Cinderella (not in the way that she has ugly step-sisters or anything, but in the way that Cinderella's dreams come true). I found this pre-smocked bit of fabric in a remnant bin a quite a while ago and I knew it was JUST ENOUGH to make a dress for K, my niece. I finally got around to sewing it up and adding some extra embellishments and was ready to unveil it. I called K up to my room and told her to close her eyes and put out her hands.

Her eyes LIT UP when a handed her the dress. She immediately wanted me to put it on her. From that point on, she ran around the house, twirling and posing. She went to show my Mom and said to her, "Aunt Lee... Jessie made me a Princess dress! I'm a Princess!"

Here's a photo - Clickie!I had to add a strap to keep it up, but she loved it just the same. I was so proud of that and all it really took was one seam and some button holes in the back.

His room is a UNC Tarheels theme and we got some t-shirts from myself, his dad, and his big sister to include in the quilt. It turned out really nice and I know it will be a great memento for him to cherish his whole life.

Andrea said...

andrea shuman: My mother-in-law made my girls (and the other three granddaughters, as well) small quilts this year for Christmas, and all the grandsons got teddy bears. They are so neat, because they are all made from a quilt that her grandmother pieced many years ago. The original quilt was a priceless heirloom until my father-in-law cut it into pieces in a fit of rage during their divorce. An aunt dug it out of her dumpster, and it sat in a garbage sack in my closet for years. Thank goodness my mother-in-law thought of a way to preserve it and pass it down. I don't know how to attach a picture. Sorry.

Danna Gray: I made two blankets for my grandsons last Christmas. The blankets are Levi blocks but the best part is I made Frogs for one and dogs for the other. These are not ordinary frogs and dogs, I had to sow each individual part of each one and piece them together so each one is different and they all have a little pocket inside of their mouths. So each square of Levi has its own frog or dog and the boys love them.
