To celebrate one year on Flickr (June 11),
my birthday (June 12),
one year of blogging (June 16),
and my 25th wedding anniversary (June 29)
I will be giving away charm packs -- one each week!
My charm pack giveaway for Sew Mama Sew's May Giveaway Day, all the charm quilt eye candy from Flickr and blogging friends, and our recent charm square swap at the Portland Modern Quilt Guild inspired me to keep the charm fun going this month. I was pleasantly surprised by all the interest in charm packs and charm quilts last month and pleased that so many people indicated an interest in making a charm quilt using one of the tutorials or patterns shown. One of the patterns that so many mentioned was Kate Conklin's Charm Bracelet quilt, and the lovely and gracious Kate contacted me to offer to donate one pattern each week to go with the charm pack giveaways this month! A charming month indeed! So, without further ado, this month's giveaway:
so the first charm pack contains 30 different fabrics (42 squares) from a variety of Sis Boom fabric lines.
Please forgive the poor iPhone pictures. My husband is getting me a new camera for my birthday, so you won't have to put up with these phone camera pictures much longer.
Here are two quilt tops made with Jennifer Paganelli fabrics:

The winner of the giveway will also receive a copy of the Charm Bracelet pattern from Kate Conklin Designs (or, if you prefer, one of her other quilt patterns)! How great is that?!?!
To see more of Kate's wonderful patterns, check here.
This giveaway will close Monday night, June 7.
Just leave a comment below and you will be entered in the giveaway.
That's all it takes.
And don't forget to go show Heather (a la mode fabric) some birthday love. She's having a birthday month of giveaways, too!
