A Giveaway! CLOSED!



At long last. Sorry for the delay. I had hoped to post this Sunday but unfortunately had to whip up to New Plymouth with the family for a funeral.

So... a long time ago I promised a giveaway in celebration of 100 posts. Today's post marks 141. I've just not been able to find anything super exciting to giveaway - until Denyse released her new line through Joann's.

Up for grabs is a FQ bundle of 14 prints of the Picnic and Fairgrounds Fabric Collection (another print is on it's way). I will also be giving away another FQ bundle of some of the prints just being released here in NZ and Australia (when they arrive). So there will be 2 winners. Winner number 1 will be able to choose which bundle they'd love.


How to enter - there's a few opportunities to get more entries (6 entries total if you do all 3):

1) Leave me a comment telling me the best Mother's Day gift you've given or received.

2) Become a follower - if you aren't already - followers will get an extra 2 entries.

3) Mention the giveaway on your blog and comment telling me you have and you'll get a further 3 entries :)

May has always been my favourite month. It's my birthday month. Mother's Day. Autumn. And it means we're nearly halfway through the year - although that bit scares me a little!!! The giveaway will close on Sunday 15th May.

***Edit - Giveaway is now closed. Thank you.***

    I love this fabric! I'm so excited that Joanns is getting some nice, quality choices for the masses. You know ... me!

    I love all my Mother's Days but last year my youngest son helped me in my garden all day, including shopping and carrying heavy bags of mulch. It was a fun day and he worked without complaining once. A great memory!

    I did a double take when you mentioned New Plymouth, sorry you had to visit it for a funeral though! Next time you are visiting the 'Naki' perhaps we can catch up for a coffee! The best 'Mother's Day' present would have to be... just the simple things, a handmade card, freshly picked flowers, a cuppa tea in bed.

    I don't know if your giveaway extends to the uk but I follow on Google reader.

    My favorite Mothers day gifts are the ones my children have made themselves, the cards they make at school and sneak home in their bags. This year my oldest even made me breakfast in bed (her dad had to help but the intent was there).

    Mothers day isn't in May in the uk but all the best people have their birthdays in May :)

    Very nice giveaway, Lara! My best Mother's Day present was a clothes umbrella to dry my clothes outside. We aren't the jewelry, extravagant holiday type people and I really wanted one. I got one that year and it was a big, strong one that should last me many, many years.

    Well, I'd tell you about a great Mother's Day gift if I could, but I have a shocking memory, so right now I'm drawing a blank. It will probably come to me later. I don't usually do much for my Mum except maybe dinner, but make a fuss of her birthday instead in a couple of weeks. I do always get breakfast in bed :-)

    My favorite Mother's Day gift that I gave to my Mom was dinner out at a steakhouse. We both enjoyed it, AND the quilts of a friend were displayed throughout the restaurant. My Mom was comfortable in her surroundings and thoroughly enjoyed herself. This was her first Mother's Day without my father so that was a blessing. Thanks for the giveaway.

    My best Mother's day gift was yesterday. My guys grilled steaks for lunch, then weeded the flower beds for me and did other yard work that really needed to be done.

    I love flowers for Mother's Day but last year was the best yet - my son brought me a TREE!! A weeping willow tree - something I've always wanted! It's growing great down near the swamp. I named her Mathilda!

    Hello, this is my first visit! I love your taste in fabric. I have only had 2 Mother's Days so far. The first one was a bit of a blur but this year my husband helped my one-year-old to make a drawing around her hand and foot! Gorgeous gift that I will keep forever!! X anna (at copyqueen. co. uk)

    My best present this year were the homemade decorations joyfully scrawled by my son. (And the cheerful announcement by him this morning that today --Monday-- is the second day of Mother's Day.)

    My best Mother's Day gift was EQ6 given to me a few years ago. Then I got EQ7 last Mother's Day. I love just playing around with it. Great giveaway you are having.

    Best Mother's Day gift? Definitely the cards. This year my brown hair was compared to chocolate and my brown eyes to foxes. I was laughing and tearing up at the same time!

    I don't have the best memory in the world, and many things from 10 years ago and older have completely been purged. And now my girls are older, and generally don't even give me a gift. I'm lucky if I get a card. I'm just happy if my family is all together.

    This could have been difficult for me to answer because, I am not a mother and my Mum has been gone for quite a few years now... but this year I received a Mother's Day Card from a younger friend who I had helped when she had some problems in her family life... she said that she wanted me to know that she was thinking about me on this special day.... it was one of the nicest things anyone has said to me.

    Best Mother's Day gift: My husband and I were headed to my mom's a few years ago with our 3 adult children who were still living at home. My oldest son was in college and not with us...well, until we pulled into a MacDonald's (why I wondered when we hadn't been long left home?). Anyway, there was my son sitting there in his truck waiting for us! He got into our vehicle and really surprised me for Mother's Day. We all continued on to my mom's. That was my favorite Mother's Day gift to have all my children with me on that day.

    I guess the best Mother's day gift I ever received was my favorite necklace. It's a heart...shaped like a couple with two children on the base. I wear it all the time. It represents my beautiful family!

    Thank you for a lovely giveaway.

    The best present I had for Mothering Sunday was a hand drawn voucher from my children for 30 cups of tea. Whenever I wanted them to make me a nice cup of tea they would and then cross off one box on the voucher. Excellent.

    My 13 year old son baked me a cake this year.
    It was a white cake but he added coffee instead of water - because he had heard me say that you
    should add coffee to cake instead of plain water. (the part he forgot was that this was for chocolate cakes only:)) But it was delicious and meant so much that "he really does listen to me"!!!!!!
