Giveaway Day!



Giveaway Day

It is finally here!  The big biannual event we all look forward to.  So many blogs to check out, giveaways to enter, and projects to be inspired by.  Yep, it is Giveaway Day hosted by Sew Mama Sew.








If this is your first visit here, welcome.  If you are already a reader, I have some news to share!  Many of you have expressed you enjoy seeing what I do with scraps. So for 2014, I will be sharing all sorts of tips for scrap storage, quilt inspiration, tutorials for scrap quilts and hopefully a Scrap-A-Long or two.  Whew...Now that it is in writing, I'm committed!  We will be starting slow but if the support is there, I'm ready to help you work through your scrap bins and make some beautiful projects.  


 Here are a few examples of some recent quilts to come out of my scrap bin.  But with so many of you following along, I will be pushing myself to step it up a notch and get even more creative.

But that's not why many of you are stopping by.  I know, just get to the giveaway!  I decided to share some frosty blues and purples with a lucky reader.  Lots of fun designers in this pick.  There are five fat quarters and a regular quarter cut (Kate Spain) in this fun fabric bundle. 



To enter, just leave me a comment letting me know your favorite season.  I love Spring, Fall, Winter, then lastly, Summer.  Even with the below zero temperatures we have been having, I will still take Winter over Summer any day.  Oh, and followers of my blog get a second entry.  Just leave an additional entry letting me know how you follow.  Please make sure you’re not a no-reply blogger (or leave an email address in your comment if you’re not sure). I may not be able to reply to all comments left during the giveaway as it gets a bit overwhelming!  But I certainly will try.
The giveaway is open until December 13th, 5pm PST. International guests are always welcome!  

***Sorry, this giveaway is now closed!  Best of luck to all that entered!*** 

The giveaway winner is Diana of Red Delicious Life.

 Good luck everyone!  And if you have those pesky scraps piling up, you are going to want to hit this Bloglovin' button to help inspire you to give them some attention in the coming year!

I'm so glad I live where we have 4 distinct seasons. I love them all but Spring is probably the favorite. And probably because I'm so tired of winter by the time it gets here. Thanks.

Autumn for sure!!

Judith said...

It's definitely summer. For a couple of blissful weeks it stops raining, the sky is clear and blue, and I can actually go outdoors without a sweater. And sometimes it actually gets warm enough that I need to bring the fan up from the basement. Happened twice last year--happy day! Thanks for the chance to win.

Summer is my favorite season - long hikes, campfires, and 4th of July!

Peggy S said...

I grew up where we didn't have seasons and later moved to a place that has beautiful seasons so I really do enjoy each one. If I have to pick, Spring might come out on top...renewal, beautiful color in the garden and warm days ahead.

I think I would have to pick Spring as my favorite season. Maybe just because it is so cold right now! Normally I really like Fall, but today I am dreaming of Spring.

I love fall, with the beautiful leaves and the cooling weather.

rosewendy said...

Spring is my favorite season as I can anticipate a nice warm summer and get into the garden and start working on a productive vegetable garden as the weather warms up.

Anonymous said...

I'm with you; winter over summer any day! Well, not ANY day, I guess; some summer days are absolutely lovely and some winter days are downright miserable. But in general, I'd rather put on a cozy scarf than still be sweating in my tank top. My favorite, though, is fall. Foods made from pumpkin and apple, crisp air, pretty leaves, …. ahhh!

I like Fall, Spring, Winter, then Summer. I like 60 degree weather, no matter what the season is. I don't like the extreme temps, but I can deal with cold better than hot. I get SUPER irritable if I get too hot, especially if it's fast! Thanks for the chance to win!

Carrie P. said...

like you i do not like summer either so fall is my favorite time of year because it means cooler days are coming.
thanks for the giveaway and Merry Christmas!

Born4Travel said...

If Christmas were a season I would love that the most. But instead I will say Fall. Not too hot, not too cold. :)

Rina Mason said...

I love Fall most of all because of the cool temps and beautiful colors. I'm with you when it comes to Summer. I hate the heat that never seems to go away as well as having to use air conditioning.

Genevieve P said...

Fall is definitely my favorite. I finally figured out why some people say summer is their favorite--they live where a hot summer day might top out at 85! Yeah, I might like a summer like that, too.

CraftyHourMom said...

In central Alberta we have 7 or 8 months of snow.... I like the rest of the year. About 3 weeks of spring, a couple months of summer, and then 3 or 4 weeks of fall.

Suze said...

I love fall because I know winter, not hot summer is coming. I love the change from hot summer to cold summer. I do love the pastels of springs more than the deep hues of fall, though. I'm anticipating your posts for 2014.

We don't have true "seasons" here in Texas, but I like it whenever it's not horribly hot or cold. So about 2 days throughout the year :)

Beezus said...

I love spring. And fall. I don't mind winter or summer (now that I'm in control of the hot flashes), but they get a bit dull, whereas spring and fall seem to have changes every day. Thanks for the giveaway!

Sue said...

I like any season except for summer. I live in FL and the weather is unbearable for the summer months. Always look forward to the cooler months when we can open the house up!

Summer, because I'm a teacher and it's the only low-stress time of year for me.

greeblygreebly said...

Really hard to choose but I guess I would have to say summer. Both of my kids were born in summer and there are so many fun things to do outside in summer.

Dawn said...

Being that I live in Houston, we basically have Summer then maybe a little fall/winter. Whatever the cooler months are happen to be my favorite! Thanks!

bee said...

i like all the seasons really, but Spring might just be my favorite

Favorite season- going for fall. This year it was at least!

Jocelyn said...

Fall! It is beautiful in New England :)

Kirsten said...

Oh geez...I think Spring is my favourite because I'm a gardener and it's when I can start to get my hands dirty. But, for the very same reason, summer is grand because there is food to be harvested and sun to soak in.

Cecilia said...

Fall is my favorite season,with Spring a close second. Thanks fr the hance to win your pretty fabric.
