Spring Quilt Market Giveaway Winners

What a week it has been! We spent the weekend in Portland, OR for Spring Quilt Market and have bene busy catching you up ever since.  We hope you enjoyed our recaps on our blog, watched our videos on YouTube, saw our photos on Flickr and kept up with our live tweeting on Twitter.  Now, for the fun part! (Who are we kidding, everything about Market is fun!)  We have giveaway winners to announce, so sit back and see if you are a lucky winner!

Upon arrival, we just couldn't wait to play a game with you and offer up a prize!  We had you match the FQS staffer with the carry on item. It was a bit of a challenge, so we are just choosing a random winner! The answers are below.


We are offering up a bundle of Giggles from our Sample Spree loot.  The lucky winner is Cara

Next, we all went back to Schoolhouse.  At Schoolhouse, we spend our day listening, learning and of course tweeting!  Our second giveaway challenge was to guess how many tweets we tweeted during Schoolhouse for a chance to win a bundle of Sweet Serenade or Barcelona. Two lucky winners were chosen!


We had exactly 167 tweets come from the Fat Quarter Shop Twitter on the day of Schoolhouse and a few of you got it right!
