Valentine’s Day Giveaway
Happy Valentine’s Day! Today I begin my 60th year on earth. In other words, I turn 59. I hope you’ll celebrate with me by joining in the giveaway fun. I have a prize bundle for one lucky reader.
A little love quilt by Diane Harris, yet to be quilted. Click the image to get the free pattern with my compliments.
It includes a new product from the Fat Quarter Shop and It’s Sew Emma: The Sew Hot Iron Rest. This mint green silicone mat is big enough for most home irons at 7″ x almost 11″.
It withstands heat up to 500º F or 260ºC so you can leave your iron in the down position as you work. If you’re pressing a lot of patchwork (and who isn’t), it’s a timesaver.
And I think it would be especially great if you have hand, wrist or shoulder pain or limitations.
Along with the iron rest, I have the Jan/Feb issue of Quiltmaker (above) as well as the March/April issue (below).
And in case that isn’t enough inspiration, there is the Jan/Feb issue of McCall’s Quilting, too.
I support these titles because they support me, and often publish my designs. I appreciate that.
While you’re here, please sign up for my newsletter so you hear about all the important giveaways, and there’s going to be a big one in the next few months. This is a special year for me and I’m going to share the excitement!
To have a chance at today’s giveaway, leave a comment below before midnight on Sunday, Feb. 18. I’ll pick a winner on Monday, Feb. 19 and announce it here. Thank you for visiting Stash Bandit!
The winner of the giveaway is Lori “spalady” and I have emailed her. Thanks for your comments. Watch for another giveaway soon!

My mother-in-law was a valentine baby. She was a wonderful loving woman. I’ve got 15 years on you but I’ve been following your work a long time. I just used the novelty squares I won a year or so ago and will take a picture of the quilt and send it to you.
