Day 3 of 12 Goodie Giveaway

Another fun day of reading your posts! I think this could be my favorite giveaway. Ever. The winner of the day 2 goodies (the FQ set of Tufted Tweets), the random number generator selected #72, Mab! I love her response too.

I'd really hope that they are the type of pipers that make and sew custom piping... I've got some pillows I'd like to do, but I don't want to fool with the piping. I'd assign at least 4 of them to that task. The other 7 of them could get the icing bags and do the piping work on a fabulous gingerbread house. If even one of the 11 tries to pull out an actual pipe, I'd full-body-slam them.... my 3 year old is finally taking a nap and ain't NOBODY waking her up!

And now onto the goodies for Day 3:
-A pair of Olive the Ostrich Pillow Panels
-Two half yard cuts of ANY of my Robert Kaufman fabric (winner's choice!)

I stitched up one of the panels and added black piping to finish it. Easy Peasy. 



  • To be registered to win, just leave a comment here on this post. Make sure you I have a way to contact you. Entries from around the world welcome!! I'm happy to ship your prizes to wherever you might be :)
  • In your comment tell me what you'd do with ten lords a leaping (he he, this one should be very entertaining!)

10 Lords-a-Leaping! I'm thinking that I'd ask my 10 Lords to perform Christmas numbers a la Glee style for my enjoyment! Singing and Dancing!!!!

Ten lords a leaping? hmmmmmmm... I'd probably make a video to share with my Facebook friends. :) Could be VERY entertaining. ;)

CC said...

I hadn't seen that adorable ostrich until now - so cute. And I can't stand how adorable that Christmas donkey is. I'm sure that you're to thank for real life donkey sales going up.

I think those Lords-a-Leaping are probably actually Lady Gaga's backup dancers!

Hope said...

Let's assume they're hot, and I'd make them leap around for my enjoyment.

Sequana said...

You really don't want to know what I've done to those ten lords to make them leap. Truly. *snicker*

Kelly said...

I had to leap and get two pillows panels before I commented! :) hmmm, 10 lords a-leaping....I would have one leap to buy me fabric, one to get coffee, one to make dinner, one to clean my house, one to change diapers, one to rake leaves, one to fill the car with gas, one to take out the trash, one to pick up dog poop in the backyard, and one to rub my feet while I watch the other 9 in action.

Unknown said...

the Lords are leaping because I set fire to their shoes

Staci said...

What would I do with 10 Lords a Leaping, huh?
Well, since they are leaping, they might as well clear the cobwebs from the top of the ceilings and walls, the gutters on the house could use a cleaning, the windows need a wash, and I'd love some Christmas lights hung up! Since there are 10 of them, it shouldn't take that long!

deserae said...

I would have them leap around behind me as I walk for a dramatic entrance! Lol

christilee said...

They would play leap frog with my kids then they would leap outside to put my christmas lights up and be finish the season leaping from one end of my yard to the other as my most festive decorations ever!!!

Katie B said...

I think I'd ask the Lords to leap up and dust my ceiling fans.

Melissa said...

Love the black piping! Wow. What a great touch! :)
10 lords a leaping...hmm...I think I'd send them to the trampoline place in Denver and let them go crazy! :)

Ann said...

I would have them leap with my 3 year old who is always telling me to pretend I am a "boy prince" so that I will leap and dance with her.

Barb said...

What a lovely prize! I'd ask those 10 lords to leap with my lovely little black lab who is going crazy being stuck inside with all of the snow we have here.

Hannah said...

They could probably hang our Christmas lights outside. It's a good thing they're leaping because we don't have a ladder!

Lee said...

Ten Lords I assume leaping for joy. Invite them in for tea when they are tired. Love the panels! thanks for the giveaways! So fuN!

frozenMandMs said...

Ten lords a leaping. Imagine 10 men leaping and dancing around the house. Not sure I would get too much work done that day. I think I would just sit and enjoy the performance. My husband probably wouldn't mind.

CapitolaQuilter said...

Ten lords a leaping could help get the holiday decorations out of my attic!

Andrea said...

Wow ten lords leaping.....my hubby could use some help getting mistletoe out of the trees on our property ..and with some tree trimming....I think they'd earn their keep....and I'd enjoy watching the fun!

OneLittleThread said...

Thy could leap right on over here and help me with my Christmas mince pie baking....

Mrs Flying Blind... said...

This is more like it - not so much noise! I'd have them levelling the hardcore for a new driveway!!

Gill said...

I love the ostrich panel!
Those leaping lords could be useful cleaning out our gutters and down pipes!

Anonymous said...

ten lords leaping... could definitely get some cleaning done in those spots i can't reach! then they can get up the christmas lights on the eves of our two story house... they'd better be good leapers...

Anonymous said...

Love the giveaway - thank you. I'd have the ten lords leap up into the trees in the back yard and cut down all the dead branches! elmcreekquilts@yahoo.com

Michael said...

Send them outside..no leaping in the house!

Kara said...

Ten lords a leaping... girl, I'd get them praying for my soul! ;)

Kati said...

Ten lords a leaping have way more energy than I do. They can entertain my kids for a while. I LOVE those panels. I might have to buy a donkey one. So cute!

Sonia B said...

I'm not as creative as these other folks . . . at a total loss. Thanks for the chance.

Toni said...

Ten Leaping Lords, oh my! Lords as portrayed in those Period Romance specials such as "Sense & Sensibility" or "Pride & Prejudice", some likeable Lords in those! If they are leaping where are they leaping to? That is each persons own secret I guess. I imagine they could be leaping with joy to have a lovely pillow to land on!

Mrs Chronic-Shock said...

I'd send all 10 lords leaping to my roof to add Christmas lights :) Then they can clean the gutters while they're up there ;)

Brittany said...

Ok ... this is probably from the lack of coffee. But, with those lords, I would have to start a track and field team. Wouldn't it just be too amusing to see ten lords a leaping over hurdles dressed in their duds from the middle ages. :-)As always thanks for the great giveaway and fun game this week.

DianeY said...

I think I'd lend them to a production of Nutcracker & enjoy watching them leap across a stage.

Erica said...

Can the 10 lords of leaping clean my house?

Jo said...

Now 10 Lorda a Leaping I have plenty of things they could be useful for, painting the ceilings, they need it desperatly, no more climbing on chairs to reach things on the top 2 shelves for shorty here, I have Leaping Lords. I could also rent them out to do some male dancing for Christmas partys, they might as well earn their keep I bet they eat a lot all that leaping around must make them hungry.
I think the panel is just as wonderful as all of your fabrics are.

Unknown said...

Oh my gosh, I just absolutely adore these pillows!
If I have 10 lord a leaping, I would ask them to play ballet with my 4-year old (who loves to leap!) so that I could finish my holiday sewing! :)

hueisei said...

Ten lords a leaping? hmmmmmmm... I'd probably request them to dance and sing for me.. :)

Anonymous said...

My ten Lords could be leaping into the Guiness book of records for the most leaps in one day! And their motivation, well a chance to win some beautiful pillows and remarkable fabric was a unanimous choice but failing that some good coffee and chrissy cake!

Head Ov Metal said...

I would love for those 10 Lords a Leaping to entertain my 2 dogs so I can get a little more sewing done. :)

Kim O. said...

I would leap around with these lords for a while so that I'll be ready to gorge on all the holiday baking and feasts that are coming up!

Quilting "b" said...

Ten Lords a leaping. I would have them leap to all the Christmas tasks that need to be done. I have a 12 foot Christmas tree to decorate. I love those pillows. Please, please pick me.

Lindsay said...

They would have to take the place of my counting sheep that leap over my bed. Although hopefully I fall asleep before I reach 10 otherwise they might get kind of tired

Angela said...

Those 10 lords a leaping would be in line to dance with my two year old daughter. She's always leaping hear and there and trying to get her dad and I to join in. It would be nice to have a backup. ;)

memmens said...

They could teach my children a move or too, hopefully wearing them out in the process, leaving me to get on with a hundred projects that need starting and finishing before Christmas!

briscoeslochico said...

I could use ten lords a leaping to hop around in my backyard and trim up my plum trees. As it stands I have to crawl up and cut back the leader branches myself. Plum pudding though! Yum.

Anya said...

The Ten Lords a Leaping could leap over my piles of fabric and toys and make my family dinner so I can continue sewing....

Kaylee said...

They can leap around my house and help clean! I decided to reorganize a closet and haven't made it very far!

Anonymous said...

Ten Lords a Leaping would have dish towles in their hands cleaning all my windows!

StudioCherie said...

I would make and post a video of them. Your holiday pillows are super cute!

~Michelle~ said...

10 Lords a Leaping?? I'm thinking I would need to stage a big, overblown production that would need to be filmed for YouTube!

Beth said...

Leaping? How high can they leap? We have a few wasp nests I need someone to remove, and some gutters to be cleaned, as well as some vases on top shelves that need to be taken down and washed before I fill them with Christmas ornaments and put them back. Send those lords to my house and I'll put them to work!

Jen B said...

Since hubby and I are both ill and the kiddo is not they are on kid duty!

craftytammie said...

i'd make those ten lords a leaping help me get my tush off the couch and work out! we could jump rope or just dance away those thanksgiving pounds!

Marcia W. said...

Those ten leaping lords can pick our fruit that is so difficult to reach on the citrus trees. After that, they can pull moss out of the crepe myrtles. Then, after that, they can trim trees. And, finally, they can leap up and clean the roof and gutters. Of course, some of that leaping might require hovering in the air for a while. Can they do that?
Love you fabric and would like to win your generous 12 days of goodies. Thanks for the chance.

s. said...

10 lords a leaping could help me put up my christmas decorations. I'm a little short and if they're willing to leap, they could put them up! :D

cherie godbey said...

Ten lords of leaping could help hang my outdoor lights that have yet to make an appearance! Thank you!

Stevens Family said...

Since we live on the 2nd floor of an apartment I would have to send them packing because I don't think the neighbors downstairs would appreciate all that leaping. But first they can dust all the high shelves and ceiling fans.

Sarah PingsAndNeedles said...

oh lords a leapin? well, if they're wearing kilts I'll just lie on the ground and practise my macro photography skills :)

Anonymous said...

Well i think they'd be great entertainment, but for something useful - they can help pick the plums and apricots that are up too high for me to reach. My apricot tree is having a bumper harvest :-)

Love those panels, you post reminded me I have a Polar Bear one, I must go and sew it up this morning!

Isisjem said...

Lords a leaping eh? I'd get them to hang Christmas lights all over the exterior of my house. I don't have a ladder but with all that leaping I'm sure they'd get it done in no time ;-) (and maybe clean the gutters while they were at it!)

Deb said...

Ten lords a leaping could leap around with my 2 year old so I could sit and sew and knit for a while.

Jeni Baker said...

Oy those are so cute! Let's see, ten lords a leaping.. I think I would have them leap about the apartment, cleaning as they went! :)

Kathryn said...

I would have the 10 lords a leaping leap frog down the street! Wouldn't that be a sight to see. Kathie L in Allentown

Jennifer Ladd said...

My one-year-old never tires of being spun and twirled and tossed around. Her mommy does tire of it, though! :) The ten lords a leaping would be put on babysitter duty for the afternoon. Relaxation for me, pure joy for her!

Poppyprint said...

I'd see if they would go for an additional leaper and send them off as 11 with my daughter in tow. I cannot keep up with this girl!

Ciara said...

Leaping Lords, Batman, I think we have a problem... Maybe we should have someone come in and spray, I hear that takes care of unwanted pests.

JulieGmehlin said...

I say...let them leap away..should be a great motivator for me to get all of my cardio in!

Lori said...

I would feature the 10 lords a leaping in my 4th grade Christmas program. I teach music to elementary kiddos and they would be a great addition to our program this week!

10 lords a leaping....how about have them be my personal butlers for a year?

underthreefeet said...

I would love to have 10 lords a leaping to follow both in front and back of me ah, la the black knight of monty python

WandaFish said...

I'd have the 10 lords leaping round with feather dusters to clear the cobwebs before we put up the Christmas decorations! Then I'd leap over every single one of them in my unseemly scramble to get hold of your gorgeous giveaway fabrics :)
I really love Olive the Ostrich!

Mary on Lake Pulaski said...

Lords should not leap - I would reprimand them and have hold my Christmas lights while I put them on the tree.

Nan said...

The ten lords a leaping would certainly entertain my students when they start nodding off during lectures. I love the ostrich pillow panel and hope I win!

Marg M said...

10 Lords a leaping would be put to work to get rid of all the spider webs in those high spots I can't reach around the house

epban said...

Ten lords a leaping? I think we'd have a game of leap frog!

Lisa said...

I have my own 10 lords a leaping in my classroom----along with 12 ladies dancing! When is Christmas break?

Jenny said...

10 lords a leapin...not even sure what that means, but my kids love to dance, so lessons would be in order, and perhaps a blessed early night to bed for us all!

Anna said...

10 lords a leaping better have wellies on - those donkeys are so darn cute!

sally said...

I would have ten lords a leapin cook me food & entertain the kids. Then being 9 months pregnant might be a lot more fun.

Dawn W said...

Right now we are moving, and if I had ten lords-a-leaping, I'd put them right to work packing boxes and hauling them over to the new rental. Get to work guys! (Great pillows - love that ostrich!)

Wendy said...

Love these pillow panels - so cute! What would I do with Ten Lords A Leaping? I'd set up some hurdles and make them race each other!

kitkabbit said...

10 lords a leaping? well, they may put their physical skills to good use and leap around helping me put my garden to bed!!! And then I'd order a truckful of compost for them to mulch my plants with! Sigh, that would be lovely.

Kitty said...

Funny how a lot of the comments would have those lords a leapin' doing chores and decorating. My thoughts exactly--get the work done, then party!

Anonymous said...

Leaping lizards--no no wait lords and ten of them! I think I'll stick them in the cupboard until the snow gets deep, then bring them out to leap over the snow banks to get the mail and do the shopping.

Susan said...

Well, it kind of depends on who the lords are...and where they are leaping to or from!!! As I am not on first name terms with any lord, I just get them to work on my ironing pile! Then there would be nothing to leap over!

Carla G said...

I'd get them to leap around my house getting it organized and then sparkling clean! Then they can leap to the store & do my Christmas shopping! :)

SewSuzie said...

As the Lords are leaping - they must be energetic. So there is only one thing for them to do - my gardening!

olneyqueen said...

10 Lords a leaping would leap around my house straightening my stash, and cleaning my house as I sit in my bathrobe sipping coffee and sewing like a madwoman!
I love the pillow and your great give aways

sara said...

I would have them leap through the door, over the counter and into my kitchen to help roll meatballs for Xmas eve dinner and then cut out sugar cookies to decorate for Santa! Love love this whimsical pillows - hope I win!

Mary Jo said...

Now, this is handy. With all the things to do I would have these guys leaping to reach things, complete jobs, put the decorations in places I can not reach.
Oh the joy

Pam said...

10 Lords a Leaping..umm First I would have them exercise my lab who really needs a workout and then I would have them dance with my two granddaughters who would be thrilled!! I would be thrilled to win to pillow panel!!

Erin T./Emelote of Calais said...

I would get the lords to have a leaping race outside my house and invite the neighbors to bet on who would win...maybe I could sell tickets and make some more money for all the gifts I need to buy this year! LOL

Susanne said...

Me and my boyfriend we have quit a big flat. Cleaning is always a mess. The Lords could wipe the floor while dancing around ;)

Betty said...

I'm thinking the 10 lords' a leaping probably come from Washington and I'd just put them on the next bus home! Love ALL the panels.
