It's my Birthday! Time for a GIVEAWAY!

It's that time of year again ~ I'm turning another year older!  Only this year, I'm taking the whole week off and spending time eating out, getting pampered, and even taking off with my hubby and no kids for a few nights!  


So what better way to celebrate on my blog than with a giveaway?!  And with the help of my wonderful sponsor, the Fat Quarter Shop, here's what's up for grabs:

Not one, but TWO fat quarter bundles of Patricia Bravo's Bespoken fabric line.
 One winner will get the Lush colorway:


and the other winner will get the Fresh colorway:



So how do you enter?
  • I love to quilt and sew, (I sometimes think it's the glue that holds this stay-at-home-mama together).  Tell me what you want to see more of in 2012 - quilts?  childrens clothing?  accessories?  bags/purses? something else?
  • If you are a follower (new or old), you can leave a second comment.
  • If you blog about this giveaway, you can leave a third comment with the link.
Winner will be picked by random.org on January 16th.  Open internationally.  Good luck!

Happy Birthday! May this year be your best one yet!
Recently I've begun doing hand stitching quilts. Not crazy, rather relaxing...and easier to grab on the fly then a big project. Give it a try and blog it!

Caren said... #

I'm a new-ish follower, and I love to see quilts and childrens clothes, though I don't often sew either. Smaller projects are my thing, probably because I don't have much time between the two toddlers who rarely take naps at the same time and the big kid (5) who is a different kind of high maintenance!
Happy Birthday! (my little one is turning 1 this week, so hurrah for January b-days!) :)

Caren said... #

Here's my "I'm a follower" comment. Hey do you ever do off the wall projects like soft books or toys or whatever? I'm just wondering if that is a whole different category of sewing or if it's just not popular. I don't see too much of that on the blogs I follow so I was curious.

You know, I'm good with pretty much anything other than children's clothes (having no kids) but to be honest, it wouldn't bother me if they inspired me towards some big kid versions!
