Would you like some Echo? Giveaway Day begins.


That is a picture of Lotta Jansdotter and her fabric line, Echo which I copied from the Windham Fabrics webpage. You can read about her here at Windham Fabrics. 

My name is Leanne and welcome to my fabric giveaway for the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day.  I hope you will take a minute to look around my blog, where I chronicle my quilting and sewing adventures. You do not need to be a follower to enter this giveaway but if you like what you see, I hope you will join in and follow along. 


This giveaway is for a fat quarter bundle of all 16 of the fabrics in the Echo line by Lotta Jansdotter. The image above is from the Fabricworm website - where I purchased the bundle. (The bundle is still in transit, I will edit this with a picture of it here when it arrives.)

If you would like to enter to win this fabric bundle, you need to leave me a comment on this post. Only one comment per person, please (I will remove extra ones). Let me know your favourite holiday treats - cookies, cakes, squares, or whatever. I will be baking this week and would love some new ideas.

I will draw a random winner after 6 pm on Friday December 16, 2011. If you have not attached an email to your profile, please leave it in the comment. If there is no way to contact you, I will draw again immediately. I am happy to ship anywhere in the world from my home in Canada.

Edited to add: Already I have a bunch of "no-reply" comments. Please add your email to your comment if you are not certain your email address is attached to your profile. If I cannot reach you and you are the winner, I will draw again.

I am also giving away a 241 Tote, so if you have not entered that contest, please click here to do that now. And click the button to go back to Sew Mama Sew so you can enter the rest of the give aways.

Thank you everyone, this giveaway is now closed. The winner is Rachael!



Enjoy the contest hopping!

Best,

Leanne

Lovely giveaway, Leanne! I was just sitting down to try and start a list for my holiday baking, too. I'll have to come back here for more ideas. I love those chocolate crinkle cookies and chewy ginger-molasses cookies. Well, pretty much any treat really! Thanks!

flowerpress said...

Wow what a wonderful prize!
I love that range.
My favourite is Christmas pudding with Brandy Butter like my granny used to make :-)
I'm giving away too!

Deb said...

Yes, please...I would LOVE some Echo! My favorite holiday treat is Chocolate Crinkle Cookies - just so yum!

Carrie said...

What an amazing giveaway! Thank you so much!

My favorite holiday treat is peanut butter cookies. I know it's kind of boring, but they're my favorite!

Happy baking to you!

memmens said...

Mmm yes please, I love mince pies - maybe a British delicacy but delicious, I've not had time to make any yet but have mincemeat in the cupboard maturing from last year! I can't wait! thanks for a fantastic giveaway

Samantha said...

Great giveaway! Lotta's book on block printing was one of my first adventures into crafts & patterns.

I love Wedding Cookies! All that powdered sugar.. yum.

kate said...

What an awesome giveaway! We have two favorite treats in our house -- candied pecans and jam thumbprint cookies :)

Kelly said...

this fabric is so gorgeous, i'd love to win! i love anything sweet, but particularly around the holidays, peppermint bark is especially delicious to me. :)

Meg said...

Cookies! My mom makes the BEST Christmas cookies.

kathy said...

With multiple food allergies, it's difficult to bake. These heart pops are somewhat acceptable and are very easy to make.
Not sure what to call them - you can see a great photo on my blog.
You take two small candy canes and pace them on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Place a lollipop stick in the middle. Fill with melted chocolate to join and sprinkle with decorative sprinkles.

I am so in love with this fabric line!
My favourite Christmas treat is rather boring I'm afraid, it's chocolate.
Thanks for the fab give away Leanne!

pippablue said...

I would LOVE some echo. Best Christmas treat, A large glass of Baileys with a side order of chewy chocolate chip cookies!

Lovely fabrics!
My favorite treat these days is spicy hot chocolate with extra cocoa powder for a deep chocolate flavor.

Ana e os Viraventos said...

I am portuguese and here we have these pumpkin cakes that are my favourite!

Katie said...

I love to bake year round, but break out my recipe for gingerbread cookies during the holidays.

Sarah said...

My favourite Christmas treat, well, in our house we never seemed to get through the christmas cake fast enough (mum made whoppers!) so dad made "Christmas cake pudding" which is just a chunky big slice of christmas cake crumbled into a bowl with some grated apple, some banana & grapes, some chopped nuts, and mixed altogether with strawberry yoghurt. Trust me, its delish... And with all the fruit, nuts and yoghurt you feel really pleased with yourself eating it after all the usual fatty sugary christmas food. (just forget there's a whopping bit of cake in it...)

Tara said...

Wow! Great giveaway and lovely blog! I love to make English Toffee at Christmas.

Debbie said...

oh my goodness - this is the line I am currently pining after!! I think the treat I enjoy the most are the sweets.

Jennifer said...

I'm definitely a christmas cookies kind of girl :)

Lynz said...

Wow, Leanne, FABULOUS giveaway!!

My favourite treat? Well, I don't have a sweet tooth so I like cheese and crackers. Stilton with apricots is a favourite. That's not much help for your baking is it? Sorry! *g*

Lisaleh said...

My favorite treat is salted caramel hot chocolate from Starbucks. So delicious!

crookedlittlehouse said...

Great giveaway! My favorite treat to make is any sort of toffee/chocolate kind of thing. I've got a few different recipes, but hate giving it away;-)

Laura said...

My favorite holiday treat is actually something we make for breakfast on Christmas every year, but should really be a dessert: Monkey Bread! It's so sticky sweet good!

Colette said...

Oh my goodness, swooning over that fabric stack!!! My little girl and I love to bake and decorate a Yule Log for Christmas. King Arthur flour has a yummy recipe that can me made regular or gluten free.

adriane said...

Wow, I adore that fabric! Thanks for the chance!
My fave holiday treats are all the drinks; hot buttered rum, eggnog, spiced cider, things like that!

I Plead Quilty! said...

How much would I love to get a stack of this?! I've been drooling over Echo since I first saw it as a little teaser.

My favorite holiday treat has got to be lemon bars. Really, they can be any time of the year, but my mom usually made them around the holidays. Those or her Russian tea cakes!

Little Island Quilting said...

My favorite easy treat is to melt Hershey's Hugs on top of checkerboard pretzels in the oven @ 250 degrees, then put an M&M on top. It looks adorable and these bite sized-treats are sooo addictive.

Hi Leanne, what a great giveaway! My favorite Christmas treat are sugar cookies (with my mom's recipe, they're fluffy and soft!) with cream cheese frosting (so much better than sugar icing!). Mmm...makes me wish I had some for breakfast right now...

orazie denise said...

I look forward to sewing with the fabric pieces. I baked 3 dozen oatmeal raisin cookies for a cookie exchange I had this week and will be doing it tonight for a holiday party at working we are having tommorow. The joy of the holiday and baking and baking and baking!

Laura said...

This is a really lovely giveaway, thank you! And I love your blog - as a fairly new quilter, the drunkard's path blog tutorial looks like it's essential reading :)

My favourite holiday treat is definitely sausage sandwiches on Christmas Morning. I never have them at any other time of year.

Heather said...

What a nice giveaway! This fabric is beautiful isn't it?? I have yet to own any, but plan on it. Okay, my favorite treats at Christmas are ginger snap cookies, they have such a good flavor!

Scenic Pit Stops said...

I JUST refrained from buying this bundle today. It was hard, I kept adding and deleting it from my cart. Sigh. Is fabric a holiday treat? :) I love all the sweets: cookies, chocolates, anything!

MN2NM said...

Yippee! What a lovely giveaway! I like to make caramels each Christmas. Last year I added chocolate caramels to the mix and this year I'm going with a caramel-esque cinnamon candy (maybe more like a Hot Tamale or cinnamon bear). Also, peppermint bark is easy and delish! Happy baking. Thanks!

Robynsky said...

What a great question! I had to locate my mom's 1964 edition of the Joy of Cooking to find it - they're called Cocoa Kisses. They're basically flavored meringues:

Preheat oven to 250F (120/130C)

Sift 1 cup sugar

Whip until stiff but not dry:
- 3 egg whites
- 1/8 tsp. salt

Gradually add 1/2 sugar.

Combine:
- 2 tsp. water
- 1 tsp. vanilla

Add the liquid, a few drops at a time, alternately with the remaining sugar. Whip constantly.

Fold in:
-3 tablespoons cocoa
(note: you can also add 1/2-1 cup chopped pecans at this point, but I don't)

Drop the batter from a spoon onto a lightly greased tin and shape into cones. Bake until the kisses are partly dry and retain their shape. Remove from the pan while hot.

OMG my current favourite fabric line!!
This Christmas I will be opening my bottle of damson gin - luckily my husband doesn't like it so it's all for me!!

Carey ~ Gypsy Thread said...

For some reason I end up being the person everyone else gets to sample their holiday baked goods... without ever having to make any myself! Thanksgiving I go crazy, but Christmas baking is virtually non-existent for me. Last year my sister made these buttery, toffee-ish, pecan bars that were to DIE for. I'm hoping she makes another batch for me to sample this year!

Teje said...

Hi! I just love those fabrics and would love to win! Thanks for sharing!
I forgot to add my e-mail to the other giveaway...

I love peppermint bark. I need to make some before christmas. And I recently saw a recipe for bacon chocolate fudge. My hubby wants me to make that!

Amber said...

I like the Chex recipe on the box for "muddy buddies@ because it's cheap, hard to mess up and gluten-free. I'm not much of a baker :/

Ambersewwonky (at) yahoo (dot) com

maite reguera said...

Lovely fabrics!!
I´m Spanish and I like "roscón de reyes"
maitereguera@hotmail.com

twelfthzodiac said...

I cannot resist my little sister's shortbread cookies. They are addictive & even though I don't normally have a sweet tooth, I seriously can't resist them! She tells me they are just ordinary shortbread, but I've had other people's & they are just not as good.

Kara said...

Yum - chocolate peppermint bark!

Joy said...

Shortbread! Oatmeal shortbread is tasty too

Brenda said...

That is nice fabric. Christmas treat? Stollen comes to mind, but I think this is something my mom made, I know I never have!! So I am going to say "Butter Tarts"!!! I love butter tarts! Oh man, now I am going to have to go make some!! Thanks alot!! ;-)

Montseta said...

It must be Suchard Chocolate Turrone. So tasty.
Terrific giveaway! Thanks for sharing.

Anya said...

Favorite treat - hmmm, one would be homemade ice cream with crushed up candy canes. Another, very simple but very addictive, honey almonds.

Lucy @ Charm About You said...

Hi Leanne - so glad to have found you! My favourite treat is Apple Crumble, I realise it's not actually christmassy but it's SO good!! There's something so warm and homely about it :) Although it's not technically baking I also love me some mulled wine!

Meredith said...

OOO! The Lotta Jansdotter fabric is on my Christmas wish list! I love it!

My favorite "quicky" Christmas treat are "poor man's turtles": cover a cookie sheet with parchment or foil (preheat oven to 350). Place pretzel "butter snaps" (the small squares with grids across them) on the sheet and top with an unwrapped rolo (it's great if you have kids- they can unwrap them all!). Bake in the oven for 5-8 minutes. Let cool for a minute and top with a pecan half (or an M&M or any other yummy thing to press into the top). Smush it down a little so the melted rolo "bonds" everything together. Let cool (in teh fridge if you're in a hurry) and enjoy!

You can also use a hershey kiss instead of a rolo.

Have fun!

Laurel09 said...

Wow - that would be an amazing bundle of fabric to win! My favorite holiday treat is iced gingersnap cookies. We roll out the dough and cut it into fun Christmas shapes, too. Yum.

Jacey said...

Wow! So generous!! I just so happen to have a yummy cookie recipe to share! I just tried a Cook's Illustrated recipe for Brown Sugar Cookies. They have brown butter, and are totally delicious!

Connie said...

snickerdoodles! They are totally the best cookie.

Happy Blogging!

susan said...

Amazing giveaway, Leanne! I would be sitting the corner hoarding all of that loveliness for myself!!

We have all sorts of Christmas food traditions bu my favourite is making gingerbread cookies in all sorts of shapes and then decorating them with royal icing with the girls. I did it with my brothers when I was growing up and the tradition continues. It is an integral part of our holidays.

Gali said...

since we celebrate Hanukkah my favorite thing are potato latkes.
:)

Kristy said...

Sugar cookies with EXTRA icing, YUM!!!!

Kate said...

Great giveaway! I love this line... and my favorite holiday treat is river cookies. They are basically shortbread cookies with jam.

In Black and White said...

I just died of excitement - that whole line is right at the top of my Christmas list! My favorite holiday treat is Christmas pudding (I eat it for breakfast!) but I only have a second-rate recipe, my mam makes the best ones... If I'm lucky, she even mails me some for the years that I can't get home - I live 4000 miles away.

Amy said...

What an incredible giveaway! Thank you! This is one of my absolute favorite new fabric lines. Thanks for the chance!

Grey Cat said...

Hmm... favorite holiday treat? I actually don't do a ton of sweet-eating during the holidays. I don't have a ton of time to bake anymore, and dislike the overly sweet stuff sold in stores.

However, I do have a consistent weakness for anything with toffee in it.

Rachel said...

Oooh! Lovely! I actually don't do any of the Christmas baking in my family... my husband does! But my favorite thing he makes is chocolate cookies with peppermint chips. Very Christmas-y!

Thank you for such a generous giveaway! My favorite Christmas treat is a sicilian cookie called cucidati. It's a half moon shaped cookie with a ground fig/date/raisin filling. They're so tasty! I'm hoping that we'll make them again this year.

Pétra said...

This is my favorite fabric right now what a great giveaway thank you for the opportunity!
I just made salted caramel macarons for the first time for a cookie exchange they were so good and not as hard to make as I thought they would be!

H2Ogirl said...

Oh my . . I so need this! Winning it would be the best gift eva! Okay. So my favorite holiday cookie is snicker-doodles. At least it is in my house. I've had all that we made in the house already. lallala. The next thing is a persimmon pudding. I haven't made that in years. It's SOOOO lovely.

AngieSue said...

My favorite Christmas goodies include anything my Grandmother used to make at Christmas-time (peanut butter balls, chocolate covered cherries, fudge...). For a more modern Christmas, my family loves chocolate cookies with mint and chocolate chips with vanilla ice cream sandwiched between them and frozen. Now I'm hungry....

Catherine said...

littlebluebirdie said...

Peanut Butter Cup cookies - pretty much a peanut butter cookie dough scooped into a ball and baked in a mini muffin tin, then you push in a mini peanut butter cup when the cookie is still warm. Pecan Tassies or Pecan Tea Cakes are great too! www.melindajanedesigns.com

This is totally excellent giveaway, thank you!!! I'm really enjoying Fruit Mince Pies this year. I went somewhere recently and had fruit mince chocolate balls which were delicious! The person who made them said you just melt some chocolate, mix some fruit mince through and make into balls and roll in coconut. Yummo!!
