GiveAway #4 - Try A New Technique!

You've patchworked, you've appliquéd, you've paper pieced, you've embroidered, you've stacked and you've wacked. Now it’s time to put something new in your bag of quilting tricks for creating unique and beautiful quilt blocks. Sign up for our newest giveaway, and you might just find yourself creating unique and beautiful quilt blocks quickly and easily with paint, paintbrush and sleek metal stencils!

Sponsored by Country Stencils, this giveaway is for everyone who loves to create – the scrapbook artist, the multi-media artist, the general crafter – and yes, of course, the quilter!

I first saw quilts made with Country Stencils on display at a regional quilt show, and I was immediately taken with the truly unique look the stenciled quilt blocks added to wall hangings, baby quilts, and candle mats. Small in size but very big on visual impact! (You can see more here.)

Even more impressive was the number of quilt block stencils that were on display – Irish Chain, School House, Log Cabin, Goose Tracks, very sweet little Sunbonnet Sue stencils (that I simply could not resist) and many, many more! Of course, there are also garden-themed stencils, holiday-themed stencils, kid-themed stencils and more!

Country Stencils is offering QOB blog readers a chance to win this complete kit ($26.00 value) you can use to create fabulous quilt blocks, or perhaps to make your own stationary and cards to send to a quilting friend! Imagine the beautiful quilt labels you can make with this kit! (The VersaCraft Ink is permanent on fabric.)

You can win this kit, which includes six Stationery/ Envelopes, six Note Cards, Bag, Stylus, two VersaCraft Inks (Permanent on fabric, paper, wood and plastic, 2 Brushes, (3" x  2 3/8"), and the Patchwork Stencil & Instructions.
