Hello Everyone,
Yes, these are actual binding for quilts that I have already bound. They are leftover. I keep them because you never know when you could use those pre-cut strips. But anyway, onto why I am in a bind....
My dilemma is that I just posted my 12th Podcast!! I can't believe it has been a whole year since I began Podcasting. This is a wonderful episode too. It is the sequel to Karen Griska's first interview in Episode 11. She also has a surprise on the podcast too. You can listen to it here or grab it from iTunes!
But any who... onto why I need your help...
I am celebrating my 12th podcast and would like to share my good fortune with all my listeners of my Podcast and readers of my blog. You ask how???
Well I am going to do a giveaway!! Two lucky winners will win 12 fat quarters of their choice from the fabric that is in my shop!! How cool is that??
So all you have to do is leave a comment on this post, give me any suggestions that you might have for future podcasts and also future blog posts, if you like. Also, if you are already a listener or reader, tell me what you like best about my podcasts or blog.
There must be a way for me to get in touch with you! Please leave an e-mail if you don't have a blog or other way to be contacted. It is open to everyone! I will leave this contest open until the end of April. I know that is a long time, but I would love for all of you to have the opportunity to listen to an episode or 2.
So on May 1 me and Mr. Random Number generator will draw 2 winners.
Please feel free to blog about this giveaway too! The more the merrier! Most of all thank you to all who listen to me and read my blog regularly! I truly appreciate you and the inspiration that you give!
Don't forget today is the last day of the 20% off sale in my shop! Use the code more20 at checkout!
*** The giveaway is now closed, thank you all for entering! Check back on Monday for the winners ***
Until Next Time...

Ahora acabo de leer el post del batik y "morí" con esa colcha! Me enamoré perdidamente de ella!! AMO los batiks! Acabo de hacer mi primer vidriera y los uso para un baltimore que estoy preparando y me parecen tejidos increíbles! Gracias por compartir todo siempre y ser tan generosa! Mucha suerte y Un fuerte abrazo!!
Congratulations on #12! I enjoy reading your blog and your pod casts. Thank you for a great giveaway!

Congratulations on all you have contributed to the world of quilting, and all your delightful podcasts. How about a podcast about technology that applies to quilters (e.g. how does one create a podcast, software tools that are available to quilters, you-tube videos for quilters, how blogs can inspire, etc.).

I just love your blog and I come here daily to see if it is any news! You are a great inspiration to me with all your ideas and gorgeous quilts :o)
Congratulations on your podcasts! I'm going to listen to some this afternoon.
I'm so excited - I just got an iPod! I'm going to check out the pod cast when I get home tonight. My favorite thing about your blog -checking out the beautiful quilts you have made and seeing what you're working on :)
Jackie-- really impressed with your energy...longarm quilter, shop owner, blog, newsletter, podcast--congrats on everything quilty! I love your podcast... would love to hear more on your creative process... from fabric choices, pattern/design, quilting design, etc...I like hearing how other people choose to create.

Very generous giveaway to your blog readers!
I love your photos and the detail you give about projects. I would like to know how you do all those intricate quilting designs...it seems like so many stops and starts, but I don't see any evidence of the stops/starts! I can't figure out how you do that!
I would love to win fat quarters! A quilter always needs more, right?
My suggestion for a podcast would be dealing with issues related to pressing. Are you pressing seams open more often now? I seem to be. There are times when open seams make matching points and corners more accurate. Long arm quilters prefer open seams (so I'm told) as opposed to big bumps where seams pressed to one side come together.
So that is my podcast suggestion.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
I am so behind on my blog reading, I am sure glad I read back a ways here :) I love your amazing quilts!! Of course :) I haven't listened yet to your podcast but I'm heading to itunes now to see if I can find you!
Congratulations on your milestone in the blogging career! I would like to read more about color choice for quilts.
Muchas felicidades !!! y enhorabuena por el blog ! estou maravillada y me quedo perpleja al ver los trabajos tan bellos... como sugerencia sólo puedo decir que me gustaria poder algun video elaborando algún trabajo, me encantaria ver trabajas las manos en los acolchados tan preciosos.
Un beso

I love the quilt you made for your dad Jackie, the quilting is wonderful - and if Mr RNG picks me, I think I'll be asking for some fat quarters of that Essex linen that Mrs Schmenkman is always on about, we can't get it here... :)
What I like about your podcast is that it is to the point, not filled with lots of babble. For future podcasts, maybe some interviews. Thanks so much for doing the podcasts and congratulations on your anniversary!
Jackie, you have too many comments for me to read, which is wonderful, so if this has been said, I am sorry for the repeat. First, I love your pod casts, they are wonderful and so informative!
I did think of an idea, as you were talking about batting, there is one I use sometimes, it is a fusible batting. You iron it and the 3 layers stay together, well for me no they do not, but I do find if I use it I do not have any bubbles on the back. I still have to pin baste my quilts, but I find it helps. So how about something on basting, pins, thread, sprays, batting? Just a thought!
Or how do you know how much fabric to buy, you go into a store and like a fabric; I never know what a “good” amount might be!! Thanks and I look forward to more!
Hi Jackie, I enjoy your podcast, especially the interviews. Keep them coming.

I'm never in a bind about a giveaway!! (love that binding shot by the way). Congrats on 12 podcasts by the way, thanks for letting us celebrate with you xo
Congrats! I love your blog and I am looking forward to reading and hearing heaps more! Thanks!
Would you believe that I've never listened to any podcasts? Ever! I think it's time to change that right now, right here. Great blog btw!
Love all those binding leftovers! So colorful! :-) Congratulations on 12! Honestly, I haven't listened to podcasts either, but I love following your blog and seeing all the great fabrics in your quilts. :-)
Congrats! What a wonderful give away.
Congratulations on one year! It is a lot of work and I hope that you get as much out of podcasting as we all do! kimpelikan@yahoo.com
You are a new blog for me. I came over from Jaybirds blog. I didn't know you did a podcast. I will have to subscribe. I listen to Alex and Annie. I would love to win some your wonderful fabric FQ.
I will be back again. :)
Congrats on pod cast #12 - would love to win your fat quarters!
I'm a quilting novice and would love inspiration for beginners, preferably something small and simple at first. :)
I'd love to see some off-the-wall scrap quilt ideas.
Congratulations on reaching a milestone and thank you for the giveaway.
I have recently discovered your podcast which I'm thoroughly enjoying. Now that I've found your blog, I have more inspiration to browse. Thanks for all you do. :o)
Love your blog! Would love tips on designing my own quilt.
Thanks,
galew417@comcast.net
Your blog is very interesting. I love your quilts!!! Showing us photos of your quilts along with explaining your design process would be very interesting. I would love to be entered in the giveaway. Also, for someone who mentioned ideas for using one's stash, being thrifty, etc., I can highly recommend Maria Peagler's eBook titled: "The Frugal Fabriholic - Your 12 Step Plan for Saving More Cash for Your Quilting Stash". It is available through www.smashwords.com. (Maria is a color theorist also and has another book in paperback form "Color Mastery" available through any bookseller. It is excellent.) I will visit your store after I post this! Thanks! maeve315@msn.com
wonderful giveaway, TQ..i love quilter's podcast just like yours. Wud love to hear the real voices of those young talented quilters who blogs too.
What I really love it to get inspired by patterns, layout, fabric and stuff. I like to design, but sometimes need some inspiration to get on track.
I've just discovered your blog, but I also have all kinds of binding leftovers saved and no idea what to do with them!
Just found your blog, can't wait to find the podcasts. Thanks for the chance to win!!
Lovely quilts here with plenty of
inspiration.....love your color sense. thanks so much for a chance to win some of your beautiful fabrics.
Happy sewing
I just heard your podcast today for the first time and i love them... I only listened to 10 and 11 and am downloading 12 as we speak. (sorta speaking, aren't we.) I have a blog on my 30 favorite tools which I am writing over 30 days. So far it has been fun. I live in Canada and just got my IPOD 1 week ago and I am really enjoying listening to all the podcasts I can get my hands on, but yours I have really enjoyed... going to listen to the first 9 over the next few days. I also have a gammill which I don't use so much these days as I have an imbalance problem and can't stand for long periods of time... anyway... my blog is www.subbyoma.blogspot.com and I am going to follow yours starting today!!
so maybe you have shown me the light...how about a podcast about the beauty and versitility of batiks? thanks for a chance.
Congratulations! And keep'em coming. I would love more of those enhanced podcasts, even if they mean I have to drop my sewing more often. Also, stuff about color choices. Thanks for the giveaway!
I am getting inspired to start quilting again!
Oh, anything that helps with the "duh" basics, like cutting, cutting shapes, piecing, being more efficient, etc. I'm a newbie, can you tell? :)
Oops! Forgot my email: ERoscoe@gmail.com. Thanks!
Another chance to win! Thanks. I love your colorwork and would enjoy even more.
Hi Jackie,
I read your blog regularly because you love color like I love color..
I have not listened to the podcasts- I will have see if I can figure it out- I am sure that they are wonderful if it is anything like your blog!
Blog topics come from one's experiences- Keep sharing your thoughts and ideas about quilting and you won't go wrong.
I especially enjoyed your piece about batiks as I love batiks. Your wonky stars focal fabric is fabulous- I can see why you love it.
Someone is going to be thrilled when they get to choose 12 fat quarters- I know what I would choose- some of the beautiful Kaffe Fassett fabrics from your store. I have just begun collecting his fabrics.
Regards,
Anna

I always enjoy reading your blog.
I listened to your 12th podcast on itunes and loved it. It was the first time I heard your podcast. I especially liked the different pictures that came on throughout the podcast. It really helped to be able to see what you were talking about. Thanks for the chance to enter your giveaway. Aloha!
For a podcast, I'd like to hear your tips and tricks while piecing.

Thank you for podcasting, after last months interview with Karen Griska I started cutting off my shelvages. Your Cherrywood quilt has inspired me to get out my large collection I've had for use. Looking forward to hearing next months podcast.

I have just recently started to quilt and I am addicted. I find it so relaxing! Am always searching blogs for hints on how to be a better quilted, new patterns, and ideas.
Congratulations on your anniversary! I'd love some podcasts on organizing scraps - I do fine with yards and bigger cuts but my small stuff is overwhelming me!
I love the fabrics in your store, as well as your blog. It is very organized and always inspires - keep it up! Thanks for the chance.
I am exploring your shops, links, etc; beautiful things! Your extra binding might be greatly appreciated by a charity quilting group, btw...

I've just discovered your blog- it looks like fun!
congrats on your podcasts! Love all the bindings, I save mine as well sometimes using them for scrappy charity quilts.
What an inspiration!! Thanks for this super-generous giveway opportunity :) All the best!
OOH! A quilting podcast, how did I miss it? Downloading some right now. My favorite things in my other sewing podcasts are usually the interviews. Sometimes it makes me really look at something I passed by differently.
Thanks for the great giveaway! Congratulations on your 12th podcast. I'd like to hear Linda Franz talk about her Inklingo.
Thank you for the generous giveaway and congrats on your 12th podcast. I love coming here for all the tidbits and info you offer. And of course I love the eye candy!

Hola, Jackie!!! La felicito por llegar al número 12!!! No sé qué es un podcast, a veces el idioma es un impedimento, pero adoro su blog! Puedo leerlo gracias al Traductor y realmente sus trabajos me inspiran a ponerme manos a la obra. Soy muy principiante, inicié este camino hace un año, pero miro sus quilts y sueño! Y ni hablar de los colores y los batik! Ambos maravillosos! Bueno, no le puedo decir qué me gustaría más, ya que siempre encuentro algo nuevo, sea o no para mi conocimiento del tema, siempre es algo útil! Un abrazo!!!
I'm always looking for new ways to use precuts. And what are you suppose to do with a jellyroll after you've used half of it? I don't know how to store them, it's a mess.
I love to see your quilting gallery. I would like to see a podcast of a fabric designer or a quilt pattern designer. Thanks for doing the giveaway! kayli-taylor@hotmail.com
I am new to your blog- can't wait to look around here and the shop! Thanks for a great giveaway opportunity!
your sense of humour is what i like most, and keep it coming!
great giveaway.
