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!
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.

I like the frog kit under kids. So cute.
I love the pear stencil (I have a thing for pears!) Michele, textiletraveler@gmail.com
I love, love, love the baltimore album kit. It is so amazing and something I have never seen before. Great idea!
I would love to give this type of quilting a try. I like the halloween, and the herb stencils. But the leaf and flowers are nice too. Would be tough deciding.

I love the garden stencils, in particular the herbs but my first purchase would be the quilt kit. I would not have thought to use my stencils in this way. Thanks Joan.
The bird stencils are precious! I'd love to try this technique.
Tree kit

Do I have to pick ONE?! Impossible! I guess my favorite would be the patchwork but the herbs call to me too - probably because I have real herbs waiting to escape the house once spring really arrives! I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed stenciling years ago!

I had forgotten how homesick I am for my NC mountains, but seeing the flower stencils brought it back - the lilies of the valley, the hollyhocks, the dogwoods, the pansies. If I have to pick just one, it would probably be the lilies of the valley. I see another visit to the site in my future.
I love the chick kit!
I love the Cabin In the Woods Stencil-this would look geat on a winter-theme quilt!

I love the Baltimore Kit. I had to bookmark her site, I just love those.

Jennifer P. I like them all. I have never tried quilting before and would love to give it a try. The frog under the kids section would be fun to do for my daughter who is 3 and loves frogs.

The Garden Collection is quite beautiful, and I could count the ways,
Of making someone's day a little brighter...

And expressing thanks to some,

Many designs,for many moods!

I love that we can combine our love of quilting w the vintage appeal of stenciling. I love all of the sets under the quilt section. The vintage alphabet ones are especially cute. Also I'm a member of QOB Yahoo group. Thanks and good luck to all. desi@gt.rr.com
I love all of them. But, I would say that I am drawn to the flowers. But, I also really like the patchwork quilting ones. Gee, I guess I can't really just choose one. I love this idea. I will have to figure out what I would like to do first. Thanks. I love being a member of QOB group they give such great ideas and help everyone. Thanks again, for allowing me to be a member of this group.

Now this is just cool, I never thought of stenciling on quilts. I think the Baltimore kit is my favorite, but the Village stencil is a really close second! :)
Very nice site. I like any of the stencils they are all great. If I had to pick one, it would be the patchwork one.

The Pretty Kitty stencil kit is my favorite.

I like the #118 Sweet Violet stencil.
garlandofroses@gmail.com
I really liked all of the stencils and it was very difficult to choose because every time I thought I had a favorite, another stencil caught my eye. I have been looking for a unique idea to give my grandchildren and good friends simple sweet homemade gifts and I believe this would be it! My favorite would have to bee #49 Noah's Ark with the animals in a half circle around it. To me it makes me think of new beginnings / new life. Thanks!

Hi i seen this give awya and instantly thought of all the fun me and my mom have maken different crafts so would be awesome to win
For me it would have to be my current obsession, the quilt block "Flower Garden" ! Although must say any of them would be fun to try!
Too many choices! But I like #176 - Large Wildlife. I have a piece of fabric just waiting for this print! Thanks for running another give-away.
