I participated in the Trunk Full of Quilts digital trunk show/link-up, hosted by Soma of Whims and Fancies. Soma was generous enough to line up some prize packages for participants, and I won!
It’s so rare that I even try to win any give-aways on quilt blogs, that it was a huge, and very pleasant, surprise.
The prize package included several goodies, including this box of Aurifil thread, and a voucher for a free Craftsy class.
I picked Mimi Dietrich’s Hand Applique course for my free class. I love the look of hand applique, but want to improve my technique before embarking on a project that’s long been on my wishlist: Erin Russek’s My Tweets.
In addition to these goodies, my choice of several digital patterns were included. I picked:
- The Four Flowers of the United Kingdom paper-piecing patterns, by Soma of Whims and Fancies.
- The Pi Quilt by Meadow Mist Designs
- Snap, Crackle, Pop! by Cooking Up Quilts
- Floating by Cooking Up Quilts
The final piece of the prize package was a $24 gift certificate to Fat Quarter Shop. I almost jumped the gun and bought some random yardage, but then I remembered that Black Friday is a thing, and I did my sole bit of Black Friday shopping:
Yes, that’s a half quarter bundle of the Fibs & Fables by Anna Maria Horner. I finally drank the Anna Maria Horner Kool-Aid. I blame the Helios yardage. It’s my favorite print from the line, though I do like the rest of it – the exception being the Plaited print. It’s the one print in the entire line that I don’t anticipate using.
It was thrilling to win, and I’m so grateful to Soma for hosting the Trunk show, and to all the shops and pattern designers for sponsoring the event!
Congratulations, Jeanne! Enjoy the prizes!

Lucky you! What a lovely bundle
It’s gorgeous fabric – I’m resisting the urge to design something just for the line. I have a lot of projects in the queue that need to be done first!
