Fifty-Five Followers Fun Giveaway!

MRL Fifty-Five Followers Fun Giveaway

Okay here it is!  The Making Rebecca Lynne Followers appreciation giveaway!  Why?  Because I can and more importantly because I want to show you all how much I appreciate you!

So what is up for the giveaway...?  This Echino Madrigal Peach Pouch created by moi & some destash!

DSC_0091

I was debating whether to make a pouch this size for myself and decided to see what I could fit inside and show you all.  It fits perfectly in the hand, so cute!  Plus, I was able to fit and close the pouch with my phone, earrings (big to some), lipstick, hair-clip, and keys with my massive keychain inside.  Pretty good don't you think?

Destash includes some Amy Butler, Heather Ross, Tina Givens (great for fussy cutting), Kokka Hippos, bits (varying sizes) and some random fat quarters that I have no idea what the names are.  But one of them is dots!

What to do...

Please leave a comment PER ENTRY because I will be using a Random Number Generator to Pick the winner!

1. BONUS entry to my current 55 Followers.  Because there would be no Fun without you...if you are one of the first 55 then please leave a comment stating Bonus Entry.  [This idea came from Helen so do pop onto her site and leave her some thanks!] 

2. Follow MRL and leave a comment, OR if you already do then leave a comment to remind me

3. Become a Fan and Like MRL's Facebook Page and leave a comment to let me know

4. Blog about the Fifty-five Followers Fun Giveaway and leave me a comment with a link

5.  Tell me how you feel about Sampler QALs.  Is it something you like to do or do you prefer to QAL a different kind of quilt altogether.  Or do you not like QALs at all?  Spill the dirt...

Mr. Random Number Generator will help me pick a winner at Midnight Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday October 12th, 2011! 

Whew hew!  Good Luck!

  1. That is SO cute, especially with the touch of lace. Those metal frames intimidate me.

  3. I have never done a QAL so not sure how I feel about them.. but a sampler one would probably be right up my alley.

  4. cute pouch, i want to make one!

  5. Hmmm sampler quilt alongs I normally book mark the ones I like to go back to at a later date (Once my ever growing WIP list shrinks) then find that everyone is finished quilting along and do it on my own using the posts flickr groups and comments kindly left by others as inspiration, cheeky yes but it works for me :D

  6. Gotta take A. to school, but will like your FB page when I return--have a great day! :) Happy Giveaway!!

  7. Well, here is my Bonus entry first ;-) cause I've been amongst the first 55! Congratulations btw! My numbers are kind of stagnating right now.

    ReplyDelete
  8. And yeah, I'm a follower! I really liked your post about the 3rd SBM! I can totally understand you. I had the idea of having a givaway at 50 followers too, so if you wanna support that maybe you wanna become a follower of mine ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  9. QAL ... hmm? Well, I'm joined the DSQAL and that's all the experiance I got. I was thinking about the Summer Sampler QAL. Really liked it but well, summer is over ;-) I wouldnt mind seeing more Sampler QALs but dont know if I would join. My number one priority right now is finishing my degree.

  10. Hi Rebecca, I think you know I subscribed to your blog weeks ago, but I did so on Google Reader, so I didn't show up to you as a follower. I am a follower now! I love your blog.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  15. I haven't participated in any of the sampler QALs, but did think about it. I do like the other ones I've done though and would do a sampler. I think it's fun to see everyone's interpretation of a design.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  20. Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway! I love the touch of lace on the purse!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Bonus Entry (I use Google Reader...does that count)?

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love QALs, although I have to have all of the required fabrics and tools available in my craft closet...no time to run to the store!

    ReplyDelete
  23. woo hoo, I just got in there in the '55' having found you on lilys quilts! Love the purse and there is some seriously lovly fabric in that stash

    ReplyDelete
  24. I have only ever done one QAL - the across the sea, which will inspire me to do another one

    ReplyDelete
  25. I follow you because I love you :)
    (is that stalkerish at all?!)

    ReplyDelete
  26. I like MRL on facebook! I do NOT like the new version of facebook however

    ReplyDelete
  27. I have blogged about your giveaway :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. I like any QALs especially ones I learn from - I think that's why I'd lean towards sampler - also because it's easier to use what you have for some if not all of it. I so hope this means you're going to do one?!! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Cute purse. GFC Follower but I'm #57.

    ReplyDelete
  33. So, I used to completely dislike sampler quilts, but after seeing some of the awesome ones made this summer, I think I may be changing my mind.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I love sampler QALs. You never get bored because once you tackle a block, it's on to another one.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I liked you on facebook! I'm Stephanie Nagano.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Ive always wanted to do a QAL but I haven't yet. I'm trying to finish some of my projects before I start new ones. Ive been kicking ass on completing my wips so maybe I'll join a QAL soon!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I like QALs in general. I think they are a fun way to try something new, and bond with other quilters from all over the world. I haven't done too many yet, so I'm still getting a feel for them.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I'm a new follower and pretty new, too, at this whole quilting thing.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I haven't done q QAL yet. But when I do, I'll be looking for simple and effective. I'm not as interested in sampler QALs, though I love watching everyone else's progress.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I've learned how to quilt following QAL, great thing for beginners

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  45. I just did my first QAL so I`m a bit of a novice but I totally loved it and could get addicted. I really liked the look of the Summer Sampler quiltalong, which made traditional blocks look fun and modern...so all in all I think I like them!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Congratulations - now up to 62!! I love the pouch and the FQs, such a great giveaway prize! Bonus entry!!!

    ReplyDelete

  50. I love QAL's but I don't like samplers!!!

    ReplyDelete
  51. i have not yet done a sampler or quilt along but i am sure i would enjoy !!!

    ReplyDelete
  52. I am a new follower coming from life's rich pattern...

    love the de-stash patterns

    ReplyDelete
  53. no quilting blog, so, a comment on quiltalongs - doing my first one this fall - anxious for the next step, as the QAL hasn't really started yet. I'm a beginner.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I don't like sampler quilts much, with some exceptions, such as glorious appliqué. I am often impressed by them but I wouldn't one on my bed.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Your pouch is gorgeous! I'm a new follower :-)

    ReplyDelete
  56. Well, no surprise I love quiltalongs - I probably prefer a regular quilt to a sampler style but it does depend on the pattern and look!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Bonus entry found you on lily's blog.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Follow you from my dashboard blog reading list.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Have never made a quilt sampler QAl's though I love reading about them on bolgs, I have bought I book The Quilters Bible so I may get started on one.

    Love your pouch!

    ReplyDelete
  60. I have added your link to my blog. http://www.craftybags.blogspot.com

  61. I'm a new follower, just found my way here from the link on Life's Rich Pattern. Love the gorgeous pouch and the pretties from your de-stash!

    ReplyDelete
  62. BONUS ENTRY! I want one of these darling pouches for Christmas!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Love your purse. Especially that pop of colour on the inside. Great work making it to 55 followers(62 now I think?)! No more small blog meet for you!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I'm claiming my Bonus Entry( said in a silly sing-song voice)!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I'm not a fan of the sampler quilt. Something about them all being different patterns upsets my poor little OCD brain.

    ReplyDelete
  66. bonus entry- ah, to be one of the privileged few...

    ReplyDelete
  67. i am a follower! love your posts! wish my pictures were as nice as yours...or my projects for that matter!

    ReplyDelete
  68. i like QALs, but have never done a sampler one- if i did, i would try that summer sampler that made the rounds from swim bike quilt. i loved those blocks.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Love this pouch, is perfect in size and fabric :D
    I'm a follower!

    ReplyDelete
  70. I only use little purses. I can't handle big purses with all these places for your cards...I like a bit of mess, stuffing receipts back in it and finding a €20 note stuck between two credit cards. It is very pretty and mmm it would be right at home in my bag.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Oh and a bonus entry...which I love, what a great idea!

    ReplyDelete
  72. I'm not really interested in doing a QAL at this time - up to my neck in projects already!

    ReplyDelete
  73. I am in a sampler bee, which I really love, but I don't know if I'd join a sample QAL because of having to learn all the different blocks at once.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I've added your giveaway to my blog at http://www.craftbuds.com/giveaway-roundup/. Feel free to link up future giveaways here! :)

    ReplyDelete
  75. I was just blogged yesterday that I'd like to do a sampler quilt so I could learn new blocks so I like the idea as long as the blocks weren't too tricky.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I like sample quilts - love the scrappy look and how the come together. thanks for the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I haven't done a sampler QAL yet. But I'm sure I'd give it a try! A sampler would probably be good for me ;)

  81. I'm not a fan of quilt-alongs unless they are a simple weekend one. I only have time to sew then and cannot keep up with the others!

    ReplyDelete
  82. I am a new follower, and looking forward to exploring your site!

    ReplyDelete
  83. I am pro QAL though I have yet to do one. I've joined the Summer sampler Flickr group because I wanted to join in and will do it sometime... In general I think it's great to do things together with support!

    ReplyDelete
  84. Well, I am a new follower - found you through Craft Buds. Congratulations on your original 55 followers! Thank you for the chance to win a nice little purse and I look forward to getting to know you. Karen.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I am a new quilter, but love sampler quilts. I would like a sampler quilt along. It would be a good way for me to increase my skills.

    ReplyDelete
  86. What a cute little purse! I have a old cosmetic bag that I have used as my carry around sewing kit for more years than I can remember. The plastic is long gone and I was just thinking that I really need to get a new one. It's starting to let lots of light in from all the pins and needles I stick in it. It looks about the size of yours. Just thinking!?!

    ReplyDelete
  87. I'll follow you, I love to read what everyone is doing. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I am a big fan of Echino. I'm in.

  104. I would love to do a QAL. I have signed up for one 2 months ago and when the first day it started something came up, had to do work for hubby at the office or mom called she needed something done right then. so I have not had good luck with it. But I would love too!!!

    ReplyDelete
  105. I love QALs, but always get involved in too many so I like them easy and quick!

    ReplyDelete
  106. Great giveaway, thank you! I am a new follower!

  111. I think sampler QAL are fun but I usually can't afford all the fabric it would take to do very many of them

    homespunhandmaiden(at)yahoo(dot)com

    ReplyDelete
  112. I love the idea of QALs but the reality is that I intend to do them and then just don't have time. I like to see what others are doing with them though. And I especially like samplers.

    ReplyDelete

  114. I love quiltalongs regardless of if they are a sampler, themed, mystery... I'm just addicted to quiltalongs! Check out all the ones I join on my sidebar and listed at the bottom of my blog. Oh dear. Did you say quiltalong? I'm in!

    http://new2quilting.blogspot.com

    ReplyDelete
  115. I like quilt alongs as long as I know what the end result will look like. Fabric is too expensive for me to invest in to do a project I may not love in the end. Not to mention the time involved...

    ReplyDelete
  116. I don't have enough time for QALs... wish I did!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  120. I am participating in Leila's Sewn Skill builder, which I am loving. The only problem is, that I want to do more- I could join other QALs too, butI am scared of over committing- and then not keeping up. I am also enjoying ( and already not keeping up with) Cindy's (fluffy sheep)FMQ along.

    ReplyDelete
  121. I am now following you. Thanks for this chance to win!

  124. I really enjoy the sampler quilt along that I joined.

    ReplyDelete
  125. I'm subscribing to get your posts in my inbox! Just found your blog, and really like it! Lovely purse - "moi" should be proud; she did a great job! LOL Seriously, it is awfully nice, I've never done one with the metal clasp before. You did a wonderful job, and the lace is just the right touch.

    ReplyDelete
  126. I am the Queen of Overcommitment...I simply have to stop jumping on QALs and other projects, and actually finish one!! I do love 'em tho.

    ReplyDelete
  127. Sampler QALs are fun especially when there are progressive prizes and not as much a crunch for time. I'm doing uberfest right now, delayed by flu bug though, means printing off pdf directions as work through the blocks.
