May Giveaway Day!!

Sew Mama Sew is hosting their May Giveaway Day again! I haven't participated in the last couple ones and since I've been so absent from my blog lately, I figured I'd make this a good one! (well at least I hope you all think it's a good one!)

 I'm giving away my "Love in a Mist" quilt!

It's been folded sitting in my crafting closet for about a year and I think it's time to let someone have it that will appreciate it!
This quilt measures 35"x39" and it's hand quilted!
I love this quilt, but I'm willing to part with it.
More pictures and the original blog post for this quilt can be found here.

(you'll have to excuse the 'fold' pucker in the middle. that's just from being folded in my closet for some time!)

How to enter, you ask?

Well...here are the rules:

One entry per person

and all you have to do is leave a comment. (Please make sure if you are a "no-reply" blogger that you leave your email address. If there is no way to contact you, I'll draw another person)

This giveaway is open to anyone, anywhere in the world.

IF you are so inclined...I'd love some suggestions on places to go and see in the New England area! We are packing up our travel trailer and hitting the road for the whole month of July to explore New England: Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire and anywhere else nearby! So if you know of a great spot to camp, visit, see, eat at, shop at, whatever...please share!

Giveaway will close May 25th 8pm EST/5pm PST

I'll randomly draw a winner after that. (oh and that should be interesting since with this new blogger change I lost my numbered comments!) ;)

Good Luck!

A new TV, and a Sponsor Giveaway!

So, we got a new TV. Our old one died and if you know my husband and me, we can't live without our TV! Now I'm in the market for a new corner TV stand. Here's a great site for corner TV stands. My favorites are this and this. What I like about corner TV stands is that they seem to take up less room. Living the "military life", we move A LOT! I never know if the next house is going to be super small or rather large. So I've found that the corner stands seem to work best for us.

Have you ever checked out any of the CSN online stores? I love their sites because they have great prices and tons of customer reviews of products! I love to hear what real people say about stuff they've purchased online! AND, Wanna hear something really cool? It just happens that a representative from CSN stores has offered a giveaway! This giveaway is open to USA and Canada only since that is where they ship to. (The item will come from them.) So the following is what I've come up with: a chance at some neat wall art to decorate your space!

#1 : Canvas art "Squares" by Miguel Paredes. 2 piece set 19" x 14"

#2: Canvas art "Clouds" by Miguel Paredes. 2 piece set 19" x 14"

#3: Canvas art "Cote D'Azur" by Jean Dumergue 24" x 19"

3 Chances to win:

1.) leave a comment as to which one you would like (#1, #2 or #3)

2.) become a follower, then let me know in another comment. (if you already are, let me know)

3.) blog (or post to another site: twitter, facebook etc.) about this giveaway then let me know

I'll draw a winner on Friday April 2nd.

WINNER!

Random.org picked number 14 (which is my fav number! Birthday, ya know!) Anyway, congratulations to Pokey! I sent you an email requesting your address. Have a happy weekend everyone!

what I'm working on & a GIVEAWAY!

Here's what I'm currently working on:

 

My mom and aunt are gone. :( And I'm still trying to get better. I've been so sick with the worst cold/virus of my life, I think! Horrible cough, stuffy, running nose, head hurts...I could go on and on. After 2 visits to the Dr. I'm finally starting to feel a little bit better. I have so much sewing to do by April 14th, I've got to get busy! So anyway, the above picture is the "Scruffily Quilt" I'm working on. Made with April Cornell's "Nostalgia" for Moda.

 

Now for the GIVEAWAY part....the above tutorial calls for 1 layer cake, 1 charm pack and 1 jelly roll. The jelly roll part, you only need 2 1/2" cut off each strip of fabric. So now I have the remainder jelly roll. That's the giveaway. It's got the selvage and 2 1/2" cut off each strip. (On about 6 strips I cut off two 2 1/2" strips.) So other than that, it's pretty much a whole jelly roll. Again, it's April Cornell's "Nostalgia" line. If you'd like it, leave me a comment. I'll draw a winner on Saturday! Good Luck! 

WINNER!!!!

We have a winner! Lucky #2, Jennifer you won! I've went you an email for your mailing info! Thanks to all who entered!!

How about another giveaway?

This time I'm giving away: "The Kitchen Linens Book" Using, Sharing, and Cherishing the Fabrics of Our Daily Lives by EllyAnne Geisel
and...
2 flour sack towels measuring 28" x 29"

The Kitchen Linens Book features wonderful graphics and photos, EllynAnne's recollections of kitchen linens that have played a roll in her life, as well as other people's memories of kitchen linens, old fashioned recipes, a section of projects for "Reinventing Kitchen Linens", fabric care instructions, and an incredibly cute Butterick Transfer Pattern for creating your own fun retro style kitchen linens!

 I love the look of hand embroidered tea towels, pillow cases, or anything, really, for that matter! I don't know how to do it, but maybe someday, I'll learn!

To enter, leave a comment: Do you know how to hand embroider? What are your favorite things to embroider? Do you collect any vintage items, if so, what are they?

I'll draw a winner next Monday March 15th! Good luck!

Winner Winner!

#20 -  Dee You WON!! I've sent you an email.

 

Thanks to all who participated! Stayed tuned...I have another giveaway I'm going to post tomorrow! 

Giveaway time!

As much as I'd love to keep this and make another Snippets quilt....I'm going to give it away! It's my left overs and since I'm moving in June, I think it's best if I try and weed out a little! The giveaway is for one "Snippets" charm pack (40 charm squares) by American Jane and 25 1/2" x WOF(it's actually just a bit shy of 26") of the red print fabric which is also part of that line. Leave a comment to enter and I'll draw a winner Monday March 8th in the morning! For an extra entry, blog about it in your blog then leave another comment! Good Luck!!

How about a giveaway?

I'm just about done with a quilt for a friend that's having a baby. Just have to do the binding. She's doing the baby's room in a nautical theme. As usual, I overestimated the amount of fabric needed. So I have extras that I know I probably won't use for anythings else. I LOVE the fabric though! Figured, why not pass it on to someone who may want it! It's from the line "Sail Away" by Debbie Taylor-Kerman for Henry Glass Fabrics.

• the light blue background with the anchors is just shy of  1 1/2 yards
• the cream background with the large sail boats is 7 1/2 inches x wof
• there are 7 of the 4-patch blocks
• some strip scraps
• and quite a bunch of pieces I strip sewed together and then cut (I was going to use them as a border around the whole quilt but after attaching one side realized it would make the quilt too big for what I wanted.

All the pieces that are sewn together could easily be taken apart to use for whatever you need!


All you have to do to win this is leave me a comment! And if you have any great tips or tricks on squaring up a quilt; basting a quilt, how to keep stitches even when free motion quilting, or any other tips/tricks in general that you think are time (and insanity) savers, I'd love to hear them! I've only been quilting about a year now and I'm completely self taught (or blog taught!) so I need all the help I can get! I'll draw for a winner Monday October 26th. Good Luck!

Rachel's Giveaway & some WIPS

Rachel of P.S. I quilt is doing another giveaway! Stop on by her site and take a look see!



Well I was busy last weekend. I managed to finish 2 quilt tops. I normally don't like posting pictures of just the tops (I like to show off completed projects!), but I haven't posted anything in a while. And I also need batting, so it may be a while before I get these quilted!

Other blogger's Giveaways!

ok, so you need to stop by Rachel's blog: P.S. I Quilt so you can enter this great giveaway! Check out her blog too! You probably are already a "follower" but if not, become one! Trust me, just do it! She has fantastic tutorials and some super great ideas for the cutest stuff to make!

Another blogger Sonnet of the Moon is doing a fabulous giveaway too! A gorgeous quilt she made! She has some great tutorials on her blog as well! Check her out!

winner winner, chicken dinner!

I put the whole 2 names in a hat and drew from that! Congratulations Heidi, you are the lucky winner! Can you shoot me an email with your address info (jennewby71@hotmail.com)? I hope you like it and the person you are giving it to enjoys it as well!

Giveaway!

I've decided to give away this baby blanket (minus the ball of yarn!), that seems like I've been working on forever! It's not all the way done yet (hence the ball of yarn in the picture) and I figure this may motivate me to finish it up over the next day or so. It's pink, purple and white and I'm guessing will measure approximately 32"x 34" (give or take!) It's very soft and light weight. It's machine washable and dryable, as well; I usually suggest a gentle cycle on both. I'll draw on Monday for the winner. Good luck!
