Giveaway Winner!

Without further ado, the winner of my Book and Thread Giveaway is:

I'm currently reading the amazing 1Q84 by Murakami *_* cruel but true.

Please check for my email and reply with your mailing details.

What did she win? An autographed copy of Brett Bara's book Sewing in a Straight Line and a set of 18 spools of Coats & Clark Dual Duty XP thread. Lots of great projects and thread to help her get started.


Thanks to everybody who participated in my giveaway. There were 333 entries. Even though I did not reply to the comments, I did enjoy reading every one of them. I'm looking forward to doing another giveaway in the future!

Joy Received

In March I was one of the lucky winners of a giveaway held by Kate Spain. She gave away fabric cuts from her Joy and Good Fortune lines. I was hoping for Joy. When I received my package in the mail it not only contained a 5" charm pack of Joy but also mini charm packs of Central Park and Terrain!



Now to figure out what to make with them. I've been lacking when it comes to inspiration and time.

Any suggestions as to what to make with a charm pack or mini charm packs?

Book and Thread Giveaway!

I've been extremely remiss when it comes to blogging. What's gotten me to publish a post today? Well, it's the Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway Day!  I've been planning on doing a giveaway and decided today's the day.


Last year when Brett Bara released her book Sewing in a Straight Line, I entered a few giveaways trying to win a copy of it.  Luck being on my side, I won two giveaways and with each I received a book and a set of Coats & Clark thread.  It's time to pay it forward. Today I'm giving away one copy of her book and one 18 spool set of Coats & Clark Dual Duty XP polyester thread!


Bonus! The book is autographed by Brett!


If you can sew a straight line, then you can make everything in this book! Stuff to wear, for your home and to give as gifts. Like these cute pillow cases.

In all there's 26 quick and easy projects.  Plus, some thread you can use to make them. 

How do you enter? It's simple. I majorly dislike giveaways that make you jump through hoops to enter or have a never ending list of ways to get extra entries. All you have to do to enter is leave one comment below. Just one, please. That's all you need. If you're meant to win, you will win with one entry. In your comment you can thank me for this giveaway. Tell me what is keeping you busy these days. What book you're reading. The movie you're looking forward to seeing. Whatever is on your mind. 

One very important thing. The profile you link your comment to needs to provide a way for me to contact you or leave your email address in some fashion in your comment. Also, international entries are welcome.

Entries will be accepted through Friday, May 25th at some point late in the evening CST.  If you can still leave a comment, then entries are still open.  Saturday I will randomly select a winner and contact them, as well as add it to this post. I'll tweet it, too.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Good luck and thanks for entering!  

Update 05/25/2012: Entries are now closed. The winner will be selected and announced Saturday (May 26th). 

Update 05/28/2012: The giveaway winner has been announced here.
