Welcome to anyone who has dropped by from Sew Mama Sew for Giveaway Day.
I am offering this Sunshine & Showers mini quilt that I made in last year's Zakka Sew A Long. I hope it will bring a little sunshine wherever it may hang.

I am happy to post internationally - as I sit here typing I am looking out at the early evening sunshine and I can see my rhubarb which is doing extremely well this year - yum. To enter my giveaway just leave me a comment telling me which fruit or veg you grow or would grow if you could.
In the event that I get a deluge of entries, I will not reply individually if that's ok. If you think you are a no-reply blogger then please include your email address in the body of your comment. I will choose the winner as soon as practical given time differences etc, (late Friday 10th May or early Sat 11th) and if I am unable to contact you then I will re-draw until I find a winner that I can contact.
Now leave a comment and then pop over to Sew Mama Sew to see all the other goodies that you can try for.
Good luck!
Arghhh, first comment = no chance of winning. But I will suck it in.
ReplyDeleteI love growing anything edible - it always tastes so much better. Runner beans have to be the tops.
I love growing carrots. I love eating them but I also love watching my kid's faces when they pull them out of the ground.

I've got a slew of herbs growing on my windowsill. When I get around to getting a few more plants, I'm going to get some tomatoes and strawberries going. :)
ReplyDeleteWe just bought our first house, I'm trying to grow blueberries and strawberries
ReplyDeleteThis looks gorgeous! I need some sun here :)
ReplyDeleteIf I could I would grow cocktail tomatoes, berries and I would love to have a little apple tree.
I'm always wishing I had a lemon tree!
ReplyDeletep.s. love this little stitching you're giving away.
You know me Sheila, I try growing most things. But I wish I could successfully grow swedes as they don't have them here, but I've never managed it yet.
ReplyDeleteThe mini would remind me of the English weather!
My neighbor has a mango tree and I'm so jealous!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable is this?!
ReplyDeleteSheila we have fruit trees and my favourites are the cherry plums and gages and the mulberries! Would love some raspberries though!
ReplyDeletehmm things in the garden - strawberries, raspberries - lots of other berries, bell peppers, chili, cucumbers, pumpkin, squash, corn, rhubarb, spinach, cabbage, brussel sprouts .. ok and now I'm getting lost in the list and the risk of doubling the things gets bigger and bigger so I will leave it at that.
ReplyDeleteI'm fortunate enough to have a very large garden. So I have apple , pear and cherry trees ( the plum tree died ) raspberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants and lots of veg depending on how energetic I'm feeling
ReplyDeleteoh i grow lots and lots of tomatoes. they're so easy that i can't mess them up!
ReplyDeletethis mini would be for my 3 year old - we call her rainbow girl because she vacillates between sunshine and storms so quickly. :)
My little girl just planted our marrow seeds, and was really excited to see them poking through the pots a few days later!! Wonder if they will actually grow in the veg patch. Well done for joining in the giveaway - the bank holiday has left me exhausted and way behind on blog reading! xxx
ReplyDeleteI wish I could grow corn!
ReplyDeletei would grow peaches!

Lovely giveaway Sheila - I'm happy there is a rain cloud on it. I love the sound of your rhubarb - we are thinking of growing some tomatoes, chili peppers and basil this year :)
ReplyDeleteI have an asparagus bed which is gorgeous. We have a few short weeks of gorging so you won't find me going on holiday in May:). jennylarking@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSweet corn-it tastes so delicious picked and eaten straight away. Love the mini
ReplyDeletethat's adorable! I'm not much of a gardener, wish I was. I used to grow yummy tomatoes when I was younger
ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to grow Granny Smiths or water melons!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for chance xxx
I like to sow lettuce at two weekly intervals. The game is to eat them before the slugs get them!
ReplyDeleteI actually got to see some of that yellow stuff today! And we picked & ate our first batch of rhubarb last week. Delish! Jxo
ReplyDeleteI wish I could grow blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry plants. It would be great..
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to grow a fruit tree or bush... apricots and blueberries! But for now I've got three giant pots all growing delicious swiss chard.
ReplyDeleteI love growing corn. It seems like an easy crop with not much care needed (unless you get worms :( ). Plus, there's nothing like eating fresh corn on the cob!! YUMMY!! Thanks for a chance to win your sweet quilt - it's perfect :)
ReplyDeletesince I have two black thumbs I would have to go with what I would love to grow and that would be cucumbers. I love them raw and pickled...yum yum.
ReplyDeleteWe grow tons and tons of rosemary. I love your quilt. :)
ReplyDeleteI miss our house with the rhubarb patch :( We would love to have a garden again and grow all sorts of veggies to have fresh on hand. This quilt is so sweet! k_springthorpe(@)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteoh that is DARLING! i have two little girls who would love this hanging in their room.
ReplyDeletei live in the desert. i planted wild texas cherry tomatoes, and a few kinds of native chilies. so far i think only some palo verde trees have sprouted... fingers crossed!
Oh wow - this is so beautiful. Thanks for being so generous and willing to give it away! In the event that I win could you send me some rhubarb too - I love it and can't get it where I live :-)
ReplyDeleteI am with you with the rhubarb! I just love a good rhubarb crisp how the heck do you grow it I can never find any starts at the plant shop. Thanks for the chance to win your beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteLove growing tomatoes! And we do get a few strawberries every year. Luckily we live in the midst of neighbors' cherry, apple, pear orchards and they rewards us with their bounty every year! Thanks for opportunity and have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWe grow kale (well, it basically grows itself). My kids love to help "harvest". We eat a lot of kale salad and kale chips. Thanks!n kristie_keely(at)yahoo(d0t)com
ReplyDeleteI would love to grow peaches if I could!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I'd grow if I could.. I love pretty much all the fruits and vegetables and I'm not sure I could pick just one.... but something I've tried and failed to grow is basil, so maybe that'd be the one :D
ReplyDelete(clumsy.chord(at)gmail.com)
we have a play structure/house to grow vines on. My daughter lover to eat snap peas as she plays. I love the pumpkins. Also enjoy growiing tomatoes
ReplyDeleteAt my cottage we grow apples and pears and a lot of plums and grapes and figs and walnuts and almonds and I am hopeful that the deer have not eaten the raspberry bushes but who knows. Oh and we have a lot of different herbs too. I would love to win the little quilt, thank you for the chance.
ReplyDeleteWe have a few fruit trees, but have gone a bit mad in our veggie patch this year. Radishes, celery, beetroot, carrots, lettuce, sweetcorn, pumpkins, potatoes but my all time favourite is broad beans. I love to eat them raw, mashed on toast with lemon, garlic and olive oil. But for this they have to be really fresh and sweet, a few hours after picking they start to go a bit starchy and it's not the same.
ReplyDeleteI leave all the growing of things to my husband, my job is just to eat them! I have high hopes for the raspberry canes he planted this year :)
ReplyDeleteI would grow bananas and red peppers, I could eat both every single day and be the happiest kid ever :)
ReplyDeleteThis little mini is so adorable and that duck print on the back is my absolute favorite from RLD! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I win :) Thanks for the chance and I'm glad to have stumbled across your cute blog!
I'm growing as much as possible! At the moment we're picking asparagus and rhubarb!
ReplyDeletehi! would love to grow blueberries (& have them actually live & produce...). thanks for doing this! :) bulwinkle44@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable! We plant a whole garden of peas so my little girls can help themselves to a snack whenever they are outside. They love it!
ReplyDeleteWe grow raspberries! I cant wait for them to grow! We have tried unsuccessfully to grow blueberries which makes me sad. We are going to try again this year with a potted varietal! Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteLove growing and having fresh cucumbers and tomatoes!!
ReplyDeleteI am dying to tear out the thorny bushes the previous owner planted and put in some blueberries. I'd also eventually love an asparagus patch. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteHello from Minnesota! Love your mini. :) We grow our own hops for home-brewing beer and the vines are really decorative too.
ReplyDeleteIf I leave in a suburb area I would grow up some tomatoes! I love their smell, color and the taste of course.
ReplyDeleteBut for a good tomatoes in our region we do need a bit more sunny days here, so I definitely need your pretty Sunshine quilt! ))) thank you for the chance! Natalya, nkorzhaeva@gmail.com
We just planted seeds this past weekend, and here is what we are going to try to grow this year:
ReplyDelete-corn
-zucchini
-carrots
-sunflowers
-swiss chard
-green onions
This year I'm growing strawberries, cucumber, peppers, zucchini, and tomatoes. By next year I hope to have some berry bushes and some fruit trees.
ReplyDeletedefo a banana tree me and my kids love them x
ReplyDeleteI think the little blue duck on the background makes this go from pretty cool to amazingly awesome. I love the way you lined up the back so well!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to grow some herbs right now, but the squirrels or birds keep eating the lovely parsley and mint that I've got growing! Grr!
My rhubarb is doing well this year too!! I'm also growing salad, dwarf green beans, parnsips and chives, rosemary and garlic chives, parsley... I love it!!
ReplyDeleteI kill any plants I lay my hands on, sadly (even cacti and succulents!) but my flatmate has very green fingers, so she grows enough for both of us on the balcony and the windowsills! We have all sorts of herbs, some vegetables and also oyster mushrooms that you can grow in coffee grounds - those are my favourites!
ReplyDeleteI would love a never ending supply of strawberries but the rabbits make that impossible! I would also love to grow watermelons!
ReplyDeleteProbably peas this year
ReplyDeleteGreen beans!!
ReplyDeleteI'd grow fresh peaches if I could. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWe have a decent vegetable garden, and several small flower gardens, but I'd really like some blackberry bushes or even an apple tree!
ReplyDeleteI would love to grow squash. Maybe next year...
ReplyDeleteWe have no where to grow veggies but if I could I would have asparagus.
ReplyDeleteWe have had good success with zucchini. Thanks for the giveaway! Amy @ gasudimack(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
ReplyDeleteI would grow summer squash and sugar snap peas if I could. Very cute sunshine! I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteTomatoes! Love them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely prize....we grow tomatoes but only because we eat so many!!!
ReplyDeleteA home grown garden with all sorts of vegetables. Nothing tastes better than home grown. Sames goes for quilts. Means so much more when it is homemade. Anybody can buy but it takes time and effort and hard work to make a quilt for yourself or someone else. That just means it is worth so much more. I will cherish this mini qult forever. It is so cute and I just love it already and my house will be filled with sunshine and showers because of you.

Oh my, this is adorable!! I have the most opposite of a green thumb as you can possibly get, so I don't think I could grow anything. If I were to try though, I would try strawberries and tomatoes. Tomatoes are so much better fresh off the vine and strawberries are impossible to keep in my house, so I would save tons of money if I just grew them!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd like to be able to grow Jazz apples...or money ;o)
ReplyDeleteI have a few things planted but my herbs and lemon trees are my faves... thanks for a great giveaway
ReplyDeleteI am growing my own herbs but I'd love to plant some strawberries and tomatoes, they just don't taste like they used to ...
ReplyDeletedeb_oro@yahoo.gr
Currently my kale and lettuce are doing wonderfully but something I'd love to grow but wouldn't make it in our climate is peaches! kcarlson1152[at]hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI grow too many fruits and veggies to mention all of them, but my favorites are apples, rhubarb, and currants. :)
ReplyDeletewe've only planted toms and lettuces so far, the weather hasn't been good enough yet
ReplyDeleteProbably tomatoes, but being that I used to own an apple orchard, I would have to go with apples or pumpkins for fall:)
ReplyDeleteLast year we grew so many things: tomatoes, potatoes, zucchini (courgette), beets (love!), peppers, beans, peas, raspberries, herbs, blackberries, and we tried corn which failed miserably. This year we are so behind - there is nothing planted!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of your rhubarb! One thing we haven't tried yet.
Thank you for the giveaway I love this hanging so much and have a perfect spot for it if i should be so lucky to win it.
Right now we have a lot of greens, turnip and mustard and lettuce.
ReplyDeleteOur strawberries are doing very well this spring!
ReplyDeleteI do a full vegetable garden. My favorite fruit that I grow are Blenheim apricots -- nothing like eating right off the tree!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to say this little mini quilt is so sweet -- the ducks on the back my daughter would go nuts over!!
I live in an apartment but I have a window box planter with basil, parsley, rosemary & chives. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mini, Sheila. If I could I would grow potatoes again. I love how much better potatoes right out the garden taste. And tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute!! I love growing cucumbers!! sharoo1975@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteWe love watermelon!! I would love to grow them! atabanana29(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI grow strawberries (and they've spread!!) and tomatoes and salad greens. This year I'd like to add melons too. We also have rhubarb, but it's not ready yet...
ReplyDeleteI grow lots of things but tomatoes are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWe usually have a small garden. We get to eat what the deer leave us. ;) I'd love to grow muscadine grapes.
ReplyDeleteI would grow carrots if our deer and other animals didn't eat them. I can usually do a few tomatoes on the deck.
ReplyDeleteClosest thing to growing something I do is bamboo. My house doesn't get enough sun for traditional plants.
ReplyDeleteI love to grow herbs, and have some parsley, rosemary, and basil ready to plant! I remember your mug rug from the Zakka sew-along! It is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI have a blueberry bush which I hope will work out this year. My friend also gave me a tomato plant and cucumber plant - they're looking promising!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is adorable - I'd love to win it!
I love to grow Mangoes..
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the wonderful giveaway.
Beautiful mini - it makes me smile! So very apt for the weather we're having! I would grow anything if I could (I'm useless) but my friend has suggested a blueberry bush so I might try that :)
ReplyDeleteI love growing tomatoes and I think my asparagus will do well this year. Mostly though I grow herbs.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is sweet, thanks for the chance to win.
We go through a ton of bananas, so for practical reasons, I'll go with them :) if only I lived somewhere that could be a reality.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I seem successful with growing is strawberries but that's okay because my daughter loves them! :)
ReplyDeleteI love rhubarb! I'd like to grow blueberries as well if I had any kind of green thumb. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI would love a fruit orchard. I see your from Ayr. Our town of Newnan Ga hosted the Fiddle Orchestra from Ayr about 2 years ago. My family had 2 very sweet young ladies stay with us. What wonderful girls they were. The whole group was great!
ReplyDeleteI am growing cherry tomatoes. If I could I would grow artichokes!
ReplyDeleteI really want to grow tomatoes someday! I don't eat enough to justify buying the little containers of grape tomatoes at the grocery store. But I'd love to go pick a few whenever I wanted, and my MIL would gladly accept my extras!
ReplyDeleteI love to grow that flower that starts with an h. Not hyacinth, or heliotrope. Um. Hibiscus, that's it!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI grow lots of stuff in my garden - every year I always have tomatoes, cucumbers, sugar snap peas, zuchinni, yellow squash and then depending on the year I add in carrots, broccoli, all kinds of peppers and more. Oh and I have 2 grapevines...
ReplyDeleteI'd love a lemon tree and I would love to grow strawberries
ReplyDeleteI grow strawberries, raspberries, several fruits, and rhubarb. I would love a kiwi plant and an alvacado tree.
