A Giveaway and A Great Linky Party for Playing with Color!


It's Party time!  How would you like a chance to win the latest Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton Solids Color Card?  With all 303 wonderfully tempting colors?   I'll tell ya, I felt giddier than a kid in a candy shop when I first beheld it.  I've been planning this giveaway for a while and this seems like the perfect time to do it!

 That is because today Jenn, at A Quarter Inch from the Edge started a really fun linky party to celebrate the love of solid color fabrics.   Jenn is a fiend for Kona Solids, but she welcomes any fabric palette to the party.  If you enjoy playing around with color, you can link up either a photo of your own solid fabric combo or a virtual fabric combo, using a website like Play Craft with Anne's Palette Builder 2.1

 The linky party doesn't end until Thursday, so go and join in the fun!  And... you'll have a chance at another giveaway there!  Jenn and Lynn at Buttons Quilts are giving away a one of a kind Kona Charm Pack!    

 To enter my giveaway for the Kona Solids 303 Color Card, just leave a comment here on BuzzinBumble telling me about your own favorite color combination. 
For a second chance at winning: just leave another comment, telling me how you follow my blog.  (Please don't say "Instagram" or "Twitter", because I have not done more than dip my toe in those ponds, LOL.)  Make sure it is a separate comment so that you get two chances to win.  I'll draw the winner's comment with a random number generator one week from today: Saturday the 21st of February.  If you are a no-reply commenter and I have not been able to contact you before the drawing, I will have to redraw for a new prize winner. 
Don't be shy if you live outside the United States... The love of Quilting doesn't have any borders, even though quilts do!  

Here are some wonderful color combinations I came up with while playing with Anne's Palette Builder.  What a great way to get inspired!  Can you tell that I love the Adirondacks?

Thanks for visiting and good luck with the Kona Solids 303 Color Card contest!

 Thank you for looking, but the giveaway is over.
The Drawing was held on Saturday, the 21st of February.

    What an incredible giveaway! I know I have been coveting a colour card with all 303! And you had me at the buttons (since I'm Buttons Quilts... :) ) I think my favourite of your palettes is the kayak picture. What an awesome burst of Kona Carrot!

    My favorite combo (has been for years) is purple/blue. Sometimes I wander into teal/turquoise/green territory, and sometimes violet/magenta, but purple and blue seem to be a staple for me. I have no idea what colors I would pick in Kona, as I don't have a color card yet ;)
