No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. I won a fabulous prize of $30 off professional quilting of a lap sized quilt (55"x70") or larger, in the month of January 2012, from Marcia through the 'Occupy your sewing room'.
Marcia does "free-style quilting", which means she manually moves the machine to make a personal design with the stitches on your quilt. These designs are everything from simple to very complex such as: swirls, spirals, meandering, stippling, feathering, stars, hearts, butterflies, leaves, flowers, and anything else you can imagine. No two quilts will look the same with Freestyle Quilting! You get an amazing final product!
She quilts on a Gammil Long-Arm Classic Plus Regulated Stitch Quilting Machine, making every stitch the same size. She quilts nice and neat and evenly. She has quilted over 1500 quilts since 2003. Now that is a lot of quilts!

Look at all the beautiful 'feathers'.
Check out these lovely flowers.
And lastly, Marcia has this one on her blog and I absolutely LOVE IT.
Marcia also offers extra wide backing fabric in 18 different colors. If you don't have backing fabric or batting, she sells all of that as well, so in reality you can just send her your quilt top and buy everything else from her.
My title said giveaway didn't it? Well here is where that part comes in, right now I don't have any quilts that big that need to be quilted so I am going to share my prize with a lucky person (I have received Marcia's blessing for this). You don't have to be a follower but it would be nice.
Here are all the ways you can enter to win.
1. Leave a comment telling me what you are looking forward to the most this Christmas.
2. If you are a follower let me know, that is 2 chances to win.
3. Blog, tweet, or share on Facebook and leave me the link. (since I'm feeling generous I will give you 1 entry for each one, so that is a possible 3 additional entries!)
The Winner, receives $30.00 OFF the quilting on a Lap quilt or larger. Good for any day in January 2012.
