Surprise! Weekend Giveaway: Fat Quarterly
>> Thursday, April 22, 2010
Have you guys all heard the buzz swirling around the new sewing eZine that's debuting next week? The Fat Quarterly is launching next week and is an e-magazine written by modern sewists for modern sewist.
Each quarterly issue is going to be packed with: patterns, tutorials, challenges, interviews, previews of upcoming sewing lines and more. Are you super excited yet? You should be!
Look at the talented list of people involved in creating the eZine:
Katy @ I'm a Ginger Monkey
John @ Quilt Dad
Kate @ One Flew Over ...
Brioni @ Flossyblossy
Aneela @ Comfortstitching
Also, as a Virtual Quilting Bee tie-in ... do you see what all 6 of these people have in common? Yup - they're all in at least one (some lots more than one!) Virtual Quilting Bee! See what a great community this is?
A Giveaway! Fat Quarterly has generously donated a copy of their first issue to us so one of YOU will be the first to see it & all it's goodness. It doesn't come out until Tuesday the 27th, but just comment ONCE on this entry for a chance to win a copy that will be emailed to you on Monday the 26th. That's it. If you want to tell me what you're sewing or what the weather is like where you live right now (rainy and cold here ... grrrr!) you can do that, too! Contest will only be open until Monday the 26th at 10:00am (MST) - so you've got to be quick.
If you don't win, don't worry, you can purchase a copy of the eZine that will be emailed to you on Tuesday. From the sneak peeks that have been posted already in their Flickr group I guarantee you're not going to want to miss out on this!

Can't wait until this 1st issue comes out! How exciting :)
Great giveaway, it looks like it's going to be a great ezine!
Two days ago it was stiflingly hot! Today? SNOW!
I definitely will be getting myself a copy if I can't win one. This was such a great idea!
I am kind of disappointed that we will have rain all day on Earth Day, but it is a gentle reminder of how the earth works so well.
I can't wait to see it ... lots of buzzing going around the web about this creation!!
It is sunny and cool where I am today, and I am reading blogs instead of working - shhhhh don't tell my boss : )
I'm in Vancouver, Canada and it's a sunny Earth Day here! This morning I was sewing some string pieced blocks for the Red and Aqua VQB (my first!).
I'm sewing bee blocks right now, lol :)
I'm really excited about this new eZine! I'm in Alabama, and it's sunny and warm here. Feels like spring! I'm sewing up a quilt for my friend who is pregnant.
Great prize! I've got too many projects going but this afternoon I am working on a quilt for my sons second birthday!
I can't wait to get a copy, whether through a contest, or purchase myself. Looking forward to it.
Im sewing some quilt as you go log cabin blocks and i am really enjoyijng the process now that i have gotten used to the idea that it just might be one block a night!
Sewing up some UFO's, here in sunny UK! Heading for a warm weekend too! A copy of this would be the icing on the cake!
Working on the first month of my first quilting bee! Very exciting!
Eeek! How cool! I'm so excited for the ezine! Hurrah!
I'm really looking forward to FQ!
I'm really interested in the scrappy flying geese pattern in the first issue :)
oh, I so want to win a copy of the new e-zine! It's cloudy and drizzly here today...and I'm trying to clean up my sewing area so I can quilt!
Oh, I'd love to win one, it sounds so cool!
Looks great.. i'd love to win!
excited!
It's mostly sunny and warm here (in Hawaii, so it's usually like that).
As for sewing I have a million projects going, but just realized my only niece's 1st bday is in a week, so I must finish her stuffed bunny and doll quilt.
Oh, I'd love to win. The projects are just so gorgeous!
I would love to have a look in this magazine ;-). Just came home from studies and got a phone call from an old friend, very nice! That made my day.
I'm so looking forward to FQ! From the sneak peeks that I've seen it looks like it's going to be great.
Weather report for Rifle, Colorado...rainy and overcast one minute, sunshiny and blue skies the next! Oh how I love the spring in Colorful Colorado!
This is great! Having even more inspiration...I think I might need to buy some new fabric to celebrate!
so excited about the FQ launch :)
looking like a sunny day here on the Sunny Coast, yay :)

I can't wait to see the first issue!
I'll enter to win, but looks very interesting, might have to get it regardless.
Oooh...I'm so excited to see this!! Hope I win!
Will probably get it even if I don't win... but it would be so much fun to win!!
It's boringly beautiful in Hawaii!
Looking forward to the FQ magazine - hope I win the giveaway. The weather here is cool in the morning/night and hot during the day. We need rain as is very dry. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
Awesome! Thank you for this giveaway!
Oh fun! I can't wait!
We are having the earliest spring. Snow is usually here until at least the beginning of May but it's almost gone and the puddles of water are even dry. It's 6:30 p.m. and I'm sitting on the couch in glorious full sun. My cucumbers and zuchini plants have buds. What am I going to do - it's much too early to put them in the greenhouse? Love to win the magazine, btw.
I would love to win this ezine! It was raining so much that the power went out for about 1 hour. I am a virtual bee member of the HIVE in Not your grandma's quilting bee.

We are enjoying official eating outside weather up in Northern Canada...we live for being able to eat outside LOL (pics on my blog! http://nn.dlpgraphics.ca/blog).
I can't wait to see what this is all about!
P.S. We have the threat of severe weather here today. Hopefully no tornadoes!

Enjoying this sire, Erin, and can't wait to see FQ next week!
Hola from lovely and cool upstate New York. I'm sewing slouch bags from Akiko Mano's book, Linen, Wood, Cotton. For those who have the book and have not tried it, go online and get the errata information before cutting and sewing. There are a few mistakes in the pattern. With corrections, though, it is easy, unusual, comfortable, and numbers of other positive adjectives.
Yea, Fat Quarterly! Can't wait for that first issue!
Can't wait to April 27. I need to know the content of the first issue!!!
:P
sounds great!
i cant wait to see this magazine!
i am now starting a new cross stitch project
i finaly finished one today- yey!
This sounds like a great source of inspiration from some superstars! Thanks for an opportunity to win the first issue.
I am looking forward to the first issue of this e-zine, even more so if I win it!
Lately I have actually been on a roll with my quilting. I've completed 2 quilt tops from start to finish in the last 2 weekends. They are all ready to be sent off to the long arm quilters!
Sounds exciting, something new to read. WOOHOOO. Thanks for the opportunity to win the first issue, think I will be buying it if I don't win. :)
Love ezines - they're so green!
Would love to win this,

Win or not I am looking forward to seeing what FQ has to offer. If my suspicions are right, it would be nice to get a free copy out of all the ones I am SURE to buy after! Thanks for the chance to win!
looking forward to this!
Recently joining an online quilt bee has really expanded my horizons on the quilting world. I've been wondering why magazine publishers are not getting it? That the same tired old quilting mag format isn't cutting it any more! Can't wait to see this new ezine! Mary
I'm super excited for this to come out!
I am super excited by this eZine too!
Today we are having a nice sunny and warm spring weather in Northern France, and I am binding a placemat quilt in my garden while my daughters are playing.
Thank you for the giveaway!
Coldish and rainy here--kinda thunderstormy too. A good sewing day. =) I'd love a chance to win what sounds like and amazing publication! =) Thanks for a great giveaway.
Sounds like fun! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
Thanks for such a neat giveaway!
