Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day

Firstly I must thank each and every person who has shared their thoughts on whether quilting is more valuable outside America. You guys have left some awesome comments and given me even more to think about! And thanks for keeping it civil – it’s such an emotion-laden topic, and you have been honest but very civil.

But let’s get to the real reason you’re here – prizes and giveaways and goodies, oh my! Yes, it’s Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day! One week where hundreds of blogs are joining to support the online sewing community and share giveaways, whether it’s for fabric or handmade goodies. It’s as easy as writing a post, including at least one picture and linking it up!

SouthernFabric25

Today I have one of my fabulous sponsors Southern Fabric offering a $25 gift voucher to their beautiful store! I recently finished my first nursery commission using Giggles and Windsor Lane from Southern Fabric, and their service was superb.

Maybe you could spend your voucher on True Colors – whoever came up with the idea of Westminster’s fabric designers creating a blenders line totally deserves a big Christmas Bonus!

    I would love a new ironing board. Mine is all wobbly and can’t be fixed. Drives me nuts. (I’m easily annoyed my husband tells me LOL )

    I am hoping for the Mckenna Ryan “Wind in the Whiskers” quilt kit. This quilt moved me when I first saw it. There was a block that reminded me of our first two cats and their special relationship. Since then, we have lost another kitty to oral cancer. This quilt seems like though tears will be shed while making it–perhaps it will help me process the loss and celebrate our love of kitties!

    If only Santa could bring me a housecleaner – that way I could sew to my hearts content without having to worry about cleaning the house, preparing dinner etc.
    But in the current world of real – anything crafty related for me under the tree would be brilliant.

    I would love a Go! cutter, but I don’t think Santa will make it come true this year. He had knee replacement surgery this week.

    I am happy with a new quilting book, or some fat quarters, or some thread. What I would really like though is the bernina software, which I think is out of Santa’s budget!!

    I would love to get a brand new Janome quilting machine, but since I know that isn’t possible this year, I would settle for fabrics, batting, zippers in lots of colors & sizes, and any other little sewing gadgets and tools. That would make me very happy 🙂 :).

    Uh, I do not know if Santa will bring me anything sewing related. I hope that a special foot for my machine will arrive in January, but I have to order it myself today, ha ha! Maybe Santa could stuff my stocking with some cool threads, maybe???

    Just one thing? But Santa, I’ve been really good! Fabric, Aurifil, rotary blades, rulers, I’m not really fussy… But what I’d really love more than anything is extra stitching time!

    Santa has a list of books and fabric that he could choose from if he likes. If he’s feeling really generous he might spring to a new camera – not a quiting tool as such but so useful in the sewing room all the same.

    According to my husband, Santa has already stopped by my house (and has a few more stops to make) with my Black Friday purchases. I’m sure some more fabric will make it sway under the tree by Christmas time though! 😉

    I hope Santa brings all the things in my Amazon wishlist–LOL
    There’s about 30 different sewing things in it including a narrow rolled hem foot, fabrics and a adjustible dress form. I think it makes it much easier for my SO to shop for me if he knows right where to go!

    I’m hoping for some rabbit fabric and a bias foot for my machine. i doubt I’ll get it though as my relatives will look at my wish list, see it, have no idea what it is and so buy something else!

    I would really like a Sizzix cutter. We moved to a smaller place and I don’t have the workspace I once did. So, a die cutter sounds like a great solution. Thanks for the giveaway – I’m enjoying looking around!

    I’m hoping for a gift certificate to a fabric store. I am absolutely certain that in 2014 I will fall in love with another line of fabric and a gift cert would help me indulge in that.

    Everyone is telling you what they would like for Christmas. Since it is just me and I had lots of projects planned as Christmas gifts for others, I purchased my own Christmas gift, a new Pfaff. Now I need more sewing supplies.

    I have tons of little sewing notions on my list, but I’m pretty sure Santa doesn’t know what any of them are. 🙂 Mostly I’m hoping to get my machine tuned up. And I would love a new applique foot. One of those big ones that let you see what you are doing. 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!

    I would love a serger, mine (my mom’s) broke last year and I was devastated. I’ll replace it at some point, but we are in a rental right now and there’s just no place for it right now!

  229. Stephanie Rose says

    I am very much hoping that Santa will bring me a bigger ironing board! I’m working off of a mini one right now, and it is quite challenging. I live in a small home, so it’s taken me awhile to be desperate enough to take up the extra space. Here’s to hoping my man caught my not-so-subtle hints! 😉

    Santa brought me a Janome Horizon this year … he brought it early as a bday/christmas present in July but I wont’ complain about the tree being empty otherwise 🙂

    I am really hoping Santa will pop some pretty fabric under the tree for me, especially of the linen and velvet variety. Wouldn’t turn my nose up at a new ironing board cover either, my current one has recently started to show it’s age.

    This is a tough question. If I want anything sewing/quilting related, it’s just time to do it at this point. So, maybe I wish for a couple of kid-free hours each week to sew or quilt! That would be the best gift my hubby & kids could gift me! Thanks!

    Santa has it easy this year – I just want time. Time to sew and finish up some projects. Fortunately, my handsome Santa is totally on board with this one. He’s arranged with his sister, who has a Gammill long arm, to take care of the kids and house while I quilt my heart out for three or four days. Can’t wait!

    I actually want a couple of thumb drives for my computer to backup/save my embroidery patterns and quilt patterns to so that I don’t lose them again. My computer crashed a couple months ago and I lost quite a bit of my stuff including all of the quilts I had designed in EQ5! Luckily I was able to get all my embroidery designs from the company because they keep them in a history for the customer, but all of my downloaded quilt, crochet & knit patterns were gone.
