A little giveaway...

I was very lucky to win a giveaway on modernjax's blog yesterday- a beautiful quilted Christmas table runner! I can't wait to get it!

 
To share my good fortune, I thought I'd host another little giveaway!!

 

  • 4 Fat Quarters of "It's Snowing" by Deb Strain for Moda (it's never to early to start on your Christmas projects!)
  • A quick unpick
  • The cutest little tape measure in an even cuter little case
  • A sewing pencil
And a little extra something not pictured (it'll be the latest copy of the NZ Quilter magazine)

To enter, leave me a comment. It can be anything you like... tell me what you're sewing this week, what you got for Christmas, your favourite movie - anything! If you're a follower already or become a follower you'll get three entries, and if you'd like to mention this in a post on your blog then I'll give you an extra five entries! (Just remember to leave a comment telling me you've posted about it.)

 
Entries will close on Sunday 7th February and a winner will be drawn of Monday 8th February!

 
Good Luck!!

  2. Oh Fun Fun!! I am also the mother of boys ... three. They are so much fun! I feel blessed everyday. I'm making a cute scruffily circle quilt for my niece from the tutorial on the cluck cluck sew blog. I love having boys but it's great to have some nieces to make some bright girly quilts!!

  3. G'day Lara. I am re-watching the last season of Frasier and laughing so much that my voice was croaky in the morning. It is so good. It took my a while to get into Frasier but when the local TV station had re-runs on I kinda really got into it. I have added you to my Google Reader.

  6. This week I need to baste (ugh) and quilt a baby quilt. I might even get some more work done on another two quilts that are in progress, and I might try to learn that it is better to just do *one* thing at a time rather than always have half a dozen things on the go! ;-P

  8. What fun FQs! I popped over from Amylouwho and decided to check out the rest of your blog. I am so glad I did!
    Right now I am sewing up some tote bags. I needed to make new library bags for me and my kiddos, but it has spiraled out of control and I an now making 8 bags. How do these things happen?!?

  14. You are very generous having another giveaway! Don't include me in the draw as I won the last one but just wanted to say I love the fabrics! If you have any left of the blue snowmen and stars, or if you know where to get them, can you let me know? I have some of the snowmen but they ran out of yardage in the shop and I was planning to use them in my christmas quilt (on this long to do list!!)I'd be happy to buy or swap.

  15. You are so generous, thank you for hosting! This past Xmas I made my Mom a quilted tablerunner and a bunch of napkins and she promptly said, "I could use some placemats to go with these"! So I'll be looking for theme fabrics this year - I think those cuties might fit in nicely with the colors I used on the other pieces!

  16. Wonderful.
    I am making warm baclava type hats from thrifted wool sweaters for my gang. And trying to work on my ORB quilt.

  17. This is a lovely giveaway - how nice of you. I am staring at a big pile of scraps on the floor that were arranged to make a colour wheel but then the dog came in and the husband and the little boy so its a bit disrupted and I am off to start over but i do not mind because arranging fabric is maybe my most favorite part of quilting

  18. Great give away I love your fabric. I just finished a small ticker tape quilt with my friends scraps. She was going to throw them out so I had to rescue them.

  19. New follower! :) I'd like to enter your giveaway.

  20. Neat giveaway. Those fabrics would be great for the Winter Mini Quilt Swap I just signed up for :-) I could even come and collect in person (or maybe meet up at Stonestead Outdoor Quilt festival in Upper Hutt). Fingers crossed.

    PS. I finally made it into Spotty on Sunday, but got a measly 5 mins to myself. Still managed to buy some quilting fabric though.

    This week I am planning on getting some sewing done on two quilt tops I started over the weekend. I also hope to get some ironing done while I enjoy watching the movie Emma I recorded over the weekend. (The new three part special on Masterpiece classics!)

  28. Lovely fabric and lovely giveaway! Thanks for answering my flickr question about if your generous giveaway was open to US residents. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that is hoarding Moda Figgy Pudding. I was frantically ordering all I could of the line and my credit card company freaked out and turned off my credit card because they thought all the crazy online fabric shopping was fraud. Luckily it was at the tail end of me getting all I needed to nearly complete the line. I've got a ton of projects planned so I guess I have plenty of time to get them all done since Christmas is so far away.

  31. Sweet of you to host a giveaway! As far as sewing goes, I've a long list for this month. The first project I'll work on is a bean bag chair cover for my two year old nephew. He loves Eric Carle's book Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See? and I found a fabric panel with the same theme. I have a couple of dresses cut out for my new niece. She was born Feb. 3rd. Before I can sew I'll need to put the snow shovel to use again. It's been snowing continuously since nightfall. Wishing everyone a productive day!

  37. These are cute fabrics and would be nice and early for Christmas sewing. It is a wintry day where I live, snowing lightly. There was a bit of sunshine this afternoon and I got out for a walk. Our days are getting longer and soon we'll have what is usually our most glorious month - March.
