Winners!
And the winner of the charm squares was
Alison said...
In past years I've gotten so lost on the internet, just browsing through everyone's lovely blogs, hoping I'd win some of the goodies out there. This year I decided to return the favor, and host a giveaway myself.
The first item is two fat quarters of Heather Ross Mendocino fabric
1 fat quarter of Seahorses, and 1 of Giant Octopi.
And because I can't stop at just one - especially when it comes to fabric, I've also got this stack of 2.5 x 2.5 inch charm squares. I lost count, but I know there are over 125 in this stack.
A very big sorry to my international friends, but I have to stick to domestic shipping (US) at this time.
I'll be picking the winners by random number generator, first picked gets the fat quarters, second receives the charm squares. Any comment after May 25 at 5 p.m. PST, won't count.
If you'd like, tell me what you plan to sew or cook over the long weekend.

I'm hoping to finish up some smaller quilts over the weekend so that I can ship them off to a friend of mine. She's working on adopting, and is doing a lot of fundraising...I don't have much money to give, but I can definitely donate items to help her out :) Thanks for the chance to win! Love the charms.
I'm hoping to finish a new dress and some zipper bags!
Oooh long weekend! I'll be planning my teen students "Spa Day" that's on Tuesday, making art journaling videos for my online class, organizing my studio and photographing new items for my online shop. Whew... I'm tired already!

Thanks for the chance! :). I am hoping to sleep in a little and spend lots of time sewing... I just got my serger out of the closet and cleaned/oiled it up. I think the tension is almost correct, too!
I hope I don't have to cook this weekend-It' s my birthday. And I hope to get the pieces cut out for the baby quilt I am making using some vintage material my grandma gave me.
I hope work on some of my UFOs or maybe just some quick project that I can finish. I haven't finished anything in a long long time
Nothing against cooking but I'd love a day or two off from it. ;) I'll be piecing a quilt back and some tote bags, I hope!
Thanks for the amazing giveaway items.
