Quilt Stencil Giveaway! The Stencil Company!

This giveaway is now closed!


Before the holidays I was contacted by Cindy, owner of The Stencil Company about hosting a giveaway of hand quilting stencils. She is seeing more and more machine quilting (they sell those stencils too) but she doesn't want to see hand quilting to disappear. 
Although I do both I was willing to help promote their wonderful stencils. I bet you've seen them at shows or have a few of their stencils in your sewing room. They have been in business for 30 years!
The catalog and online presence is huge and I had a hard time choosing a few stencils. 

But this is what I chose from their catalog. Read through my blog and see what you need to do to win some just like it!



 I'll start with my largest hand quilting project. Beyond the Cherry Tree quilt.
 I'm quilting like the original and adding lovely and some quirky motifs. I thought these little flowers would be a perfect addition!

 I used my frixion pen and the stencil to mark my design. (I've done tests with the frixion- search my blog if you are interested)


 I haven't hand quilted in awhile so it takes a little time for me to warm up.
 Iron to remove marks.
 Ta-Da! Motif!
 I got a little carried away with my photos.
I love this quilt!

 Baptist fan has got to be one of my favorite all-over designs. I plan on hand quilting Jill's Jewel Box quilt and think this stencil will be perfect! I love the huge 8" arcs as it will help cover a large area more quickly.
 If I did every other stencil line the arcs would be 1" apart, which personally is good.
If you want to have close lines together (1/2") you could use every line. One stencil- 2 ways!


When I use my other stencils I will also show you on my blog, but because I am the world's slowest hand quilter I will not make you wait for me to use them all!

Leave a comment and 6 lucky winners (yes SIX!) will receive the same 4 stencils I ordered! Isn't that great!? I'll draw next Tuesday, March 3. 

If you do not hear from me to say you are in the drawing that probably means you are a no-reply commenter and have not left your email address either. You will not be eligible to win. 

On my side bar is a post about how to fix it. Feel free to leave me a test message, as well.

Good luck and Happy Monday!
This giveaway is now CLOSED!

    I enjoy watching the progress on your quilts and found your research on the Frixion pens very useful. As a result, I still use them. The stencils would make a great addition to my small collection.

    I am with you regarding the Baptist fan....it is my favorite overall quilt design. I do mostly machine quilting and reserve hand quilt for small projects or those that are "special" . Only because I'm slow too! and not every quilt is a family heirloom and they need to get done fast. The hand quilted projects are the best. Love the stencils. thanks for the giveaway opportunity.

    Your Beyond the Cherry Trees quilt is looking so good. I saved the patterns and seeing yours has got me thinking seriously about getting started on mine. I have a small collection of stencils and they are so useful for hand or machine quilting. I tend to do more machine quilting because I find the hand quilting is just too hard on my finger joints but seeing what you are doing is making me think I want to see if there is one more quilt in my fingers!

    I love hand quilting and wish I could do all my quilts that way but it is hard to finish things if I did, but I still tend to go with hand quilting over machine. I know my hands won't jam up or if I do make a mistake, it is easy enough to pull out the stitch;) I have supplies to use with stencils, but haven't found any good ones in our area.

    I also agree about not wanting hand quilting to disappear. It is just so relaxing to sit and do some hand work, but in this day and age everything is about hurry up and get it done. I am pleased to see the stencil for the fans, so much easier to mark it with that stencil. Wanna know what the weird part is?

    Thank you both for supporting hand quilting. While I am still working on getting even stitches I find it peaceful and a great opportunity to take time to slow down and to focus on the quilting. Good luck to all.

    I love the stencils, and love hand quilting. Although, like you, I'm quite slow at it and am sometimes very frustrated by it. But when finished, there is nothing like it. I also love your jewel box quilt. I've never been much of a fan of that particular pattern, but with that blue background of yours, it looks fabulous and might entice me to try one.

    The Baptist fan, or sometimes called Bishop's fan, is my favorite stencil for quilting. I've never been able to find a large stencil with the curves 1/2" apart. I would definitely use it!
