Twice a year, the folks at Sew, Mama, Sew host a big giveaway day, where lots of sewing bloggers give away sewn items or sewing supplies. This time I have a copy of the newest issue of Modern Patchwork to give away.
This issue of Modern Patchwork has instructions for a pillow I designed. I still think the block would look good made up into a quilt... maybe someday.
This giveaway is open to anyone living on planet earth.
To enter, please leave a comment on this blog post telling me something interesting. (Something more than "pick me!")
The giveaway will be open until December 13, 2013 at 5 p.m. PST.
I'll notify the (randomly chosen) winner by December 15, 2013.
Good luck with all the giveaways!
I have a pineapple Christmas ornament!

ReplyDeleteYou're being awfully exclusive on your shipping! :) Due to extremely slow service, I have sworn off my single addiction, Sonic lemon slushes. I swore I wouldn't go again until the new year (6 weeks at the time), but I'm going through terrible withdrawls, and thinking of caving.
ReplyDeleteDid you know an Ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain!

ReplyDeleteSnowball By Shel Silverstein
I made myself a snowball
As perfect as could be.
I thought I’d keep it as a pet
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas
And a pillow for its head.
Then last night it ran away,
But first– – it wet the bed.

One time I was watching TV when the remote batteries died so I got up, threw the old batteries away, opened the drawer with the batteries, took out the wine opener, opened a bottle of wine, poured myself a glass, sat back down, and couldn't figure out why the remote wasn't working! I was clearly distracted that night!
ReplyDeleteI love quilting magazines but that is something I never spend money on so I'd love to win it! Congrats on the pillow!

ReplyDeleteReading all the comments is so much fun :) Well. I'm Russian (snow, bears, vodka, that kind of staff), but I'm currently living in Indonesia. This is going to be the first New Year I celebrate without snow and cold. It feels so strange. My brain just can't believe it's December, because there is no snow. And Christmas decorations in shops look just absolutely out of place and kind of surreal...
ReplyDeleteRetired from an airline and moved to one part of the country they don't fly to! And then got a part time job at the library handling books and as an avid reader this is giving the keys to the drug store to a drug addict.

I love some of these answers! I'm going to be vague, I got a tarantula this year, and what it does to cockroaches in order to eat them is very interesting. Horrifying, but interesting. Leaving it at that :|
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I find it interesting that much of my fabric is not me...most was bought before I really knew my style. But the most interesting part...I cannot part with it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win -- as far as interesting facts go... I love pandas and when I was younger my dream job was to go to China and work on a giant panda reserve.
ReplyDeleteSince I don't speak Chinese nor do I like any oart of living in the outdoors (bugs, dirt, etc.) and am a picky eater I realized in high school that was perhaps not the best career path for me.
I still want to go to China & see the giant pandas though. One day.

ReplyDeleteThis comment was emailed to me by Clarice: I live in Maine and love to quilt. Mostly I make lap robes and other things to donate to Chaplinacy Service of Maine. I use scraps and yard sale yardage. I do about one quilt a year which I give to someone in the family. In the summer I garden a little, keep pots of things growing on my patio. I don't do a lot as I am about to turn 85 years old and can't manage as much as I used to. I would love to get your magazine and the pattern you showed on your blog. Have a Merry Christmas. Clarice

The latter hasn't happened yet, stil working on the courage bit! Thanks for the great giveaway, love the pillow! Fi
ReplyDeletedid you know quilting is the most popular sewing category hobby after clothes making?
ReplyDeleteI think it is addictive! I like your chicken quilt block tutorial- I will use it to make a wall hanging for my mum's kitchen. I am thinking of adding a red gingham border and a band of cream linen at the bottom, where she can pin things.
Thank you for taking part and introducing your blog- I ma now a follower.
Merry Christmas
