Traditional or Modern? Giveaway!


The St.Patrick's Day Blog Hop Party is over! Thanks so much for joining in! 

I find that I enjoy sewing both traditional  quilts and modern quilts. And I have an appreciation for seeing both in the blogging world. 

Do you have a certain style of quilting that you enjoy? I thought it would be fun for the giveaway WINNER to have a choice. If you win, you'll let me know if you want the traditional  group or the contemporary group of book and fat quarters. 

Are you more traditional?




or

Contemporary?
 Twirl Fabric by Me and My Sister

CLICK the follower button and then leave a comment about your favorite style of quilting. If you love it all, feel free to say that too! You have two chances to win if you are already a follower. International visitors are welcome!

Have fun and thanks for stopping by!

Since I already have the Contemporary book, I'll Have to go with the traditional. Thanks for the chance.

Jess said...

I lean toward contemporary quilting for sure.

Kris from DukeSaysSewWhat said...

Contemporary please! Thx Deb for the giveaway! :-)

Mom C said...

I would not say I'm Civil War traditional and I do enjoy the Contemporary but I also enjoy lots of traditional quilting. I'd go with the Contemporary book.. Thanks.

Archie the wonder dog said...

Oh, contemporary please!! What a great idea!

Lucy @ Charm About You said...

I love both! I change my mind about my favourite on a daily basis!! ;)
I also have the contemporary book (I had to get it, it took me way too long to attempt to piece letters!!) so I would pick the traditional if I'm lucky! I also want to learn some of the more traditional blocks

Pippa Parsons said...

would love the word play quilts because I'm trying to be more liberated... I love any quilting but am keen on the modern stuff atm but not much good at it lol ...

Flying Blind... said...

Oh definitely Contemporary for me please - although I have enjoyed dressing the Farmer's wife up in new clothing!

kkk said...

I am a follower and would like the Contemporary!!

Lucretia said...

I am already a follower and I really love the contemporary Fat quarters. They are so bright and beautiful and the word play book looks like so much fun!

Richard Healey said...

I bought the full twirl bundle and am in the middle of making a quilt with it. But then the traditional looks fun too. Sadly as much as I like it I still lean just a tad more over on the Contemporary side of things.

B Greene said...

I like both (I really would like to make a full-sized Civil War quilt to please/appease my hubby), but I am just a bit toward the contemporary side of the spectrum! Thanks so much for the wonderful giveaway!!!

debbie said...

I love traditional quilting. Although I love to look at modern quilts, I will never make one, I am to much a traditionalist. Thanks for your wonderful blog, I really enjoy seeing what you are working on.

Margy said...

Having seen both fabric and books I am torn between the two. However as I love history I would have to say I am traditional.

Judy said...

I really enjoy them both. I decorate in more traditional but I'm starting to lean toward more contemporary in fabric. What's a girl to do - like both! Thanks for the chance.

Judy said...

I'm a new follower!

Clare said...

Can Pippa win this please. I'm trying to teach her to think outside the box! I have Tonya's book (x 2!), being a friend of hers, but those fabrics are heaven sent for a Tonya style quilt. I'm now following you.

Margaret said...

I am deffinately a contemporary kind of girl. I love the bright colors and the odd patterns. Most of the traditional patterns have way too many small pieces that scare me.

Clare said...

PS - send Pippa the book and I'll have the fabric LOL!

I am a new follower - and I think that I am more into modern than traditional! Thanks for having your giveaway!

Sandra said...

Yes I am a follower forever. I believe that I am into tradtional more than contemporary. That's my story and I am sticking to it. Each of us will be glad to win those fat quarters. It's what all of quilters want. Even more us. I am having fun with the Blog Hop Party. It is snowing here in Sonora, Ca and this is a wonderful excuse to spend more time on the computer.

I am more traditional quilter. I so love the old fabrics and designs. I would choose Civil War. Thank you again.

Kim said...

I am already a follower. I am also a confused quilter! LOL Actually, I like both! I think I tend to use traditional quilt designs with more contemporary fabrics--though I do use both at times! I think I would be happy with either prize, does that make sense!? LOL

ELNM said...

I'm brand new to quilting, and it is the modern quilt style that drew me in. Thanks for the chance to win!

quiltmom said...

Hi Miss Luella,
I love the name of your blog by the way. I am a mix of a modern and traditional quilter but I would love to win Tonya's word quilts book. It looks like a great technique that would be fun to explore.
Thanks for the chance to win such a nice prize. I am a new follower of your blog.
Regards from Western Canada,
Anna

Janet said...

words would help me practice applique. Thanks for the giveaway

Maria de la Luz said...

Martha said...

Ooh...I must be a hybrid...I love them both...you will find everything from Thimbleberries fabric to Trellis in my sewing room. I have always been a traditionalist until recently...the new fabrics are so bright and happy and I have finally learned to use bright white with them. Thank you for being so generous and I would love the traditional.

Gwen said...

I really do love both styles-- probably the only thing that I'm not so in love with is anything extremely modern.. If I won, it would be really hard to choose! :-) Thank you for the chance to enter your giveaway-- and I do follow your blog! :-)

beaquilter said...

I'm more of a modern quilter, well I don't know, I like traditional patterns but then with modern fabrics, so I really like them all, but I'd prefer the 2nd book I guess

Kathy H said...

I think I am more of a traditional quilter and partly that is because of the fabric I have accumulated. I am liking all the brights and modern quilts now and want to make some of them next.

I'm new to quilting and enjoy seeing the creativity from all kinds of quilters. I do very much like the look of the old, traditional quilts, though. That's what made me want to learn for myself.

LeAnne said...

I'm a more traditional quilter but I like the contemporary fabrics better.

Jodi said...

My quilting background is more traditional but from seeing all the wonderful modern and contemporary quilting online I'm wanting to give it a try. I think quilting is always evolving and allows everyone a way to express themselves. So I guess that means traditional with a twist of modern. hehe.

Thank you for your giveaway and a chance to win.

It's sounds a bit whackadoodle, but I lean towards traditional in the fall and winter and the contemporary during the spring and summer :) Spring occured too quickly here in Maryland, so I'm still in a traditional quilting mood. Weird huh?
