Giveaway Announcement - Part 1


The lovely Carolyn from AccuQuilt emailed me recently to say what a fan her company was of my blog. Can you believe that? I was totally shocked and surprised to see a message from them in my inbox. I've been enthusiastic of their machine since it was released. Needless to say, her message made my day.

I immediately called Carolyn as the note requested and boy did I get some great news for you!

Carolyn wants to offer me a GO! Cutter to GIVE AWAY to my readers! Isn't that great?!?!



I love my AccuQuilt cutter and was so happy to hear that I get the chance to give one away to you guys. The GO! is a great tool I feel every quilter should have in their studio arsenal. Whether you are looking for something new to spark interest in your hobby again or don't have a lot of time to spend quilting, the GO! is a universal solution great for busy quilters and crafters.

The majority of problems with my quilting seem to develop around cutting mistakes. The GO! helps me by creating accurate and consistent cuts every time. I can cut up to 6 layers of fabric at a time and cut an entire quilt 90% faster than using a rotary cutter!

In a few weeks I'm going to show you how I made a quilt using my AccuQuilt GO! machine and give one away right here on my blog to one lucky reader! Exciting, right? Well, I'll also be giving away prize packs of fabric and notions that were donated by my readers too! There will be one grand prize winner (the lucky duck) for the GO! cutter and many runners up. How exciting!

I'll leave you with this AccuQuilt video explaining how easy it is to use their revolutionary machine.



Happy quilting,

I am soooo excited at your offering a chance to win a Go! My mother wants me to win one (for her). She is almost 80 and loves quilting. Guess have to wait for a few weeks to enter.

Christine said...

That is just so wonderful, I too love reading your blog and enjoy the info you give.
The Go cutter has been on my list and I have seen one here on Australia and it would be a dream to own one.
There is so much fabric in my cupboards and it would mean quick accurate cutting and I could finish some more quilts and give some more away. Nothing like seeing a happy smile when you give a quilt.
Happy stitching

Christine

I have been wondering if those were useful or not. I have so many gadgets and things that I buy and never use or they don't work like i think they will...I was hoping to hear good things about these!

April O. said...

Oh wow! I was so excited to find your blog about a week ago, and now this really neat giveaway . . . just wow. :)

Susan said...

What an exciting giveaway! I've seen this at Joann's and got to play with it a bit. NO money in the budget for it yet....not with my DD heading to college in the fall, but a girl can dream:)

Katie said...

Every time I go to Joanns I eye the display of these cutters and always wondered about the effectiveness. Sounds like they work pretty good, what a great giveaway!

Sara said...

I was also wondering how well it really works for the price, but I guess you will prove us wrong! Go Ryan!!

Rafael's Mum said...

Looking forward to all your posts regarding the accuquilt cutter! It looks like a fabulous piece of kit!

Katie @ Cheep Ideas said...

This is the most amazing product! I'm always hesitant to start a new quilting project because I HATE cutting fabric out. Always inspired, but really have to d-r-a-g myself to do the cutting.

Great blog by the way! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your circle pillow. It has made it's way to the top of my list!

Patty said...

How exciting to be chosen like that. Looking forward to seeing what you make.

That is an AWESOME giveaway! I would love, love, love to have an Accuquilt GO! Super cool!

esquiltingpassion said...

I agree with you most of my inaccuracies come from cutting, the rest is 1/4" seam allowance.
Congrat. on your accuquilt Go give away
