I have to participate! I'm doing this on the fly! Sorry I'm getting in so late!
I'm going to give away a $20 gift certificate to fabric.com. It's my favorite place to shop! I am also going to throw some stuff in from my stash :) The gift certificate will come by email, so make sure I have it if you are a no reply blogger. Before I get to how to enter, I just wanted to let you know I am still a Hexamaniac!
I've been trying to build up my twitter followers @AmateurQuilter so let's do this:
1. FOLLOW MY BLOG and leave a comment about it with likes and dislikes (colors, prints, traditional, modern, anything you can think of). This will help me choose something to "throw in" to a package. Remember, the gift certificate will be purchased by me on fabric.com and it will come to your email. The package will come snail mail.
2. Follow me on twitter and leave a comment stating that you do.
So far you get 2 entries.
For extra entries do not leave a comment: Copy and paste the following into a tweet:
#fabric #giveaway @AmateurQuilter @SewMamaSew @fabric2go Fabric.com $20 gift certificate http://goo.gl/6xYj3
You can do this once a day for extra entries. I will keep track of them and add them in with the comments.
I will ship internationally and it ends Friday, May 25th at 8 pm Eastern Time.
Hope you all are enjoying the giveaway week!
Until next time,
Mike.

You're only "fashionably" late..and honestly, who's ever late when they come bearing great gifts?
I'm a new follower.
Likes...hmmmm....I suppose modern- black and white clean lines like Summersville and The Ghastlies (favorite ever) prints. I do love the colors pink and orange together and make next quilt project will be a citrus theme...lemons, lime and cherry colors, I think.

I'm one of your followers already! Glad you are participating - it's a fun hop!
I love any and all fabrics...currently collecting brights! Thanks for hosting such a generous giveaway!
(I don't "do" twitter, but I'm going to post your giveaway on my facebook page, OK?)
I shared your giveaway on my Facebook page....http://www.facebook.com/pages/OleFrogEyes-Virtual-Design-Wall-for-Quilters/221149167928848
Thanks for the chance to win!
I think the 'amature' aspect is very appalling. As an amature quilter my self I am looking for the tips and tricks to get to the place of the fantastic quilters that I love admiring the pictures on their blogs.
I love red and aqua <3 and dark purples!

Great giveaway Mike! I am already a follower.
Likes: I love blues, purples, greens but I'm warming up to warmer colors. I need to diversify my stash. I love modern prints.
Dislikes: Not really a fan of stripes or large dots.
I love that you are doing hexagons. It will be a while before I work up the courage for that but I love the shape.
I am following on twitter now :)
Great giveaway! I love tropical colors...lime, teal, bright yellows...but lime is myall time favorite colr! Thanks!
Thank you for the lovely giveaway. Please enter me into the drawing. We are collecting greens for my mother's next quilt - Field Greens. She has green Dimples from Andover - so shades of green like that in light and dark values. I am working to acquire blues and purples (think of the colors of Terrain).
P.S. I am making hexie flowers for a GFG. We purchased a scrap bag from a Haven Hospice thrift shop that had the exact fabric you are using in your last two hexie photos - the green background with bright pink/orange/blue/yellow daisy flowers. I've made hexies with that fabric too! Such a coincidence...
I love reproduction prints for hexies. I also am a bit hooked on them right now. I am going to start sewing some up in reproduction prints for a quilt top. For colors, I love aqua, red and pink. I like traditional with a modern spin. I don't like edgy. Thanks for the giveaway and your hexagons are lovely!
What is GFG? I keep seeing that :) I'm still new at this!
I am a new follower--I want to start working with solids.
I am a new follower -- it's nice to find a newer quilter because I am extremely new to the 'sport.' I've pieced one tabletop throw and am working on a wall hanging, with no good idea what to do after the piecing is done. So I value seeing your work and progress!
Hi! *wave* I don't know a darn thing about hexies and I'm a little terrified of the idea of hand piecing an entire quilt, so kudos to you. When I need some handwork I do needlepoint. Maybe someday I will try out this English paper piecing since it seems to be very popular and potentially quite fun.
I've recently fallen in love with batiks. I know they're old news but for a long time I thought they were too expensive to use in anything, but at my local shop they're now about the same price per yard as any other bolt. So my latest quilt is almost completely batiks. I'm not much of a fabric line person (yet!).
I'm also a new follower on twitter, and I tweeted!
Still dragging my heels on all the posting options so not on twitter or FB love your color choices throw in some sunhine on your hexies and you've got it Pinwheel crazy here
I'm a follower :) I tend to vary on likes and dislikes...traditional vs. modern (though, I've been sewing with modern fabrics and tutorials a lot lately) As for colors, blue, green, red, a heck, I love the entire rainbow!
I'm a twitter follower and I tweeted @cottonaddiction
You're not late - you're right on time - I just got here! Thanks for a great giveaway - it's fun to choose fabric. I like modern and bright cool colors. I'm new to quilting and can't imagine doing hexies!
I am a new follower. I like bright, fun modern prints. I like all colors, but nothing muted, drag or greyest down. Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!
I am a follower who likes bod, graphic design. I like lots of blues and grays - not much on florals.
I am now following you on Twitter via @AlphaBecky
I'm following your blog. As far as likes/dislikes, the only thing I don't like is very large prints (I make soft toys/plush/stuffies not quilts, so giant patterns don't always work out well).
These giveaways are so fun. I love finding more "amateur" folks. (and I hope to be able to offer something in the next giveaway!)
I love blue and greens especially when they are put together!
I am a new blog follower. I like modern, bright prints.
I am now following you on twitter. @nalaxu
I already follow you!
I like modern, bright, simple fabrics!!
I'm a new follower! I love bright colors, but also love working with greys. I love both vintage and modern patters as well as solids!
Just added you to my RSS feed. I love modern, solids, batiks, geometric.
Just became a new follower! I love fabric.com - they are the best! I like modern fabrics - graphic/geometric type prints. My stash is sorely in need of reds and purples, but blue is my favorite color. Thanks for the giveaway (my follower name might say MN2NM, I changed my Google ID but can't seem to figure out how to fix that!)
I love red and oranges and any kind of quilting fabrics! I am a new follower!
I love bright colors. I am just about to start my first hex project- yours are so cute!
I'm a GFC follower (Jojo). I love bright, primary colors and geometric prints.
I follow on Twitter: @JojoViola
Honestly, I hate vintage! I love red, or blue, or white, black, gray, pretty much anything but yellow or purple. I guess I'm pretty picky!
I'm your newest follower! (Can I make a confession? I don't even know how to "tweet". I'm 26 and technology's escaping me already... I'm going to be SOL come 50!)
I'm not a picky fabric person! I have a particular affinity for halloween novelty prints for some reason... but really go for anything! I still haven't figured out how to incorporate batiks into life, though.
Black and white with bold accent colors. Geometrics and Modern organic prints. Thanks for the giveaway!

Hi, thanks for the giveaway...I am already a follower and love just about any fabric....florals, bright bold colors, modern....don't have much use for baby prints right now but anything would be wonderful......thanks for a chance to win.
I'm a new follower :) I like blues and am not a flowery kind of gal
bbbmonce(at)yahoo(dot)com
I am a new follower. Likes, hmm-- I like modern and contemporary fabrics especially, but really am open to most things, though I'm not huge on novelty prints. Batiks and blenders are great too. Geometrics are awesome. Colorwise, I trend towards liking cooler colors and earth or jewel tones-- not super into pastels. Thanks for this opportunity!
I'm a follower. Thanks for the chance to win.
I am a follower. I likes pink and bright colors :). I don't likes black and dull color :(
I'm a brand-new follower, and the idea of $20 to spend at fabric.com is thrilling!
I like modern fabrics, as well as Civil War repros. (How's that for eclectic?) I like the bright cheeriness of American Jane, and Kaffe's colors and shapes. As far as dislikes, I can only think of neon colors or Halloween themed fabric. Love pre-cuts, since I tend to be an unintentionally wonky rotary cutter.
Happy Giveaway Day to you!

I'm a new follower yay :) I love modern prints and/or bold colours :) x
New Follower thru GFC here. How about Facebook and not just tweeting? The only style I don't like is Asian, Neon and major Country colors. I rarely buy holiday themed fabric either. I love hexies too and always have a bag going as well as a couple of quilts that just go on and on.
I follow already. I LOVE the hexis! I am pondering the idea of delving into EPP! But I don't yet know if I am brave enough!
I'm a new follower on GFC! I have a little boy who is almost 3, so I like colors and prints that are good for little boys, like dinosaurs, bikes, wagons, airplanes etc (his room has a sorta nautical theme, like a pirate ship/lighthouse kinda thing going on). My favorite color is hot pink, but I decorate more with gold/sage green/maroon!
I follow you on Twitter now as @CrunchyConMom! I'm really close to my follow limit though, so I would LOVE a follow back :)
Hi Mike, I am visiting as you are a follower on my blog so I am now a follower on yours!
Good to see someone else has been bitten by the hexie bug.
I find my stash sadly lacking yellows if that helps, tending towards modern these days.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I am a follower ;) I like pretty much everything. I am a very open minded quilter. If I was forced to pick a favorite color I would say all shades blue. Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!
I follow you on Twitter @CraftyMamaD
I'm a new follower! I like alot of different fabrics. I love blues and aqua/teal/turquoises. I don't like pink or much floral. Otherwise I like all the other colors. Thanks for a chance to win! Sorry but I don't do twitter...
Thanks for the chance to win. I like purples and other bright colors and have been doing a lot of things with batiks lately.

Thanks for the chance to win! I love that you're blogging your sewing experience. I've just started one as well (http://threadtime.wordpress.com) for pretty much the same reason. I really want to 'journal' all the things I'm creating right now. So easy to forget.
Favorites right now are Flea Market Fancy, Tula Pink, Curious Nature, Pezzy Prints, and so many more. (I'm a bit of a fabric junkie.)
Now a follower.

I am now following your blog. I love BRIGHT BOLD colors. I like traditional as well as contemporary. I don't particularly like civil war prints though. My favorite color is blue -like a rich ocean blue that leans toward green just a bit. Batiks are a particular favorite. (and I love Fabric.com too!)
I am following you on Twitter as ebandit36201
Very cool. I love modern fabrics and quilts. Thanks for participating in Giveaway Day.
I like modern prints
I now follow you on twitter
I love fabric.com too, and I am so curious about paper piecing like that...but I will be tackling it soon. Hmm I love bright but not neon colors, ones that can make me pretend I'm in Greece or Turkey. I love prints but have the worst time picking out subtle ones. Thank you for the giveaway!
I am a new follower! Thank you for the giveaway!

Following your blog. :) I dislike repro 30s, I like Ghastlies. I dislike warm colors, I like soft pastels.
Following you on twitter!
I tweeted the linky.
Hi, I am now a follower! I like bright colors, 30's, and solids. Thank you for the great giveaway. I don't do Twitter so I can't help you there. In fact, I don't know how it works. I would assume you need a smart phone and I don't have one.
I just started following, but have been a lurker in past. I like pinks and blues and fun prints. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love blues and yellows; such a cheerful combination!
I don't twitter sorry but I am a follower and I love purple, grey and green. I love hexies and novelty prints and applique patterns. At the moment I am really loving all the Granny Square blocks that are appearing and I would love to make a quilt of them soon.
Love the hexies but would love to see all your completed work in one area. Maybe I missed that though. A link to your flickr?
Mike, I am so enthralled by men quilters! I just love it! I try to tell my husband he would probably like it and he did admit that he would but he has enough hobbies and not interested in adding another. I am beginning to get into modern quilting, but I'm still a vintage person as well! I love anything 30's.
Thanks for participating in the giveaway! I'm bookmarking your blog!
I just began following you on twitter. Will you follow me back? I don't tweet much, I just keep up with news, sports, and quilting on my feed.
I retweeted your link too! Thanks for additional ways to win the gift cert and other goodies! I, too, love Fabric.com
I am also a newer quilter! Your hexies look great--I picked up some hexie papers a couple weeks ago...can't wait to start! I love 1930's prints, modern--love reds, turquoises, greys...I love it all! LOL
I like modern styles with mainly solid/blender fabrics. Prints scare me somewhat still. (I'm also a beginner!)
i'm a follower! I like vintage and vintage-style fabrics, but not the old-fashioned stuff, if that makes any sense! I like florals and yellows and pinks mainly.
Wow. your hexies look wonderful. I could get a lot of movies watched if I took that up. I love bright, fun prints.
I tried to follow you back, but I don't see your blog listed on your profile :(
I'm more traditional. I like either bright colors (no neon) or vintage-looking.
I keep them pinned on my board. I suppose I should put a link on my blog: http://pinterest.com/mikedpearson/quilting-sewing-finishes/
i'm a follower now. love your hexies--so bright and pretty. love purples, most reds...almost anything bright and fun. mostly love printed fabrics, but falling in love with all the solids i'm seeing in the blogger's quilt festival. don't like browns for quilting except as an accent or something. love both traditional and modern, love appliquing. really love my family, so like making things for them. thanks for the opportunity and have a great day
I follow you via GFC. I like pinks, blues, greens and yellows. I really like both Vintage modern and Flea market lines. I don't like Orange. Thanks for a generous giveaway!

Thanks for the additional entry!
I like greens and Riley Blake Designs) Thank you!
I am following you on Twitter @Karamino1
I already follow your blog via GFC. Some things I like-bright clear colors, mostly modern and black white or grey for neutrals more than cream, beige, brown or tan. I usually use solids for backgrounds, often white or grey, but sometimes colors like lime green or yellow.
I can handle anything except Sunbonnet Sue!
