Hooray for a GIVEAWAY!



***THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED - see who won HERE!***



I'm hoping to spend the rest of the day turning this embroidery (by Imagine Gnats) into a sewing bag, courtesy of this great tutorial


I couldn't wait to show you because I think the girl is pretty kick ass but the bag is on pause while I join the giveaway madness and offer you a chance to win!

Unfortunately I haven't had the time to make anything (try not to feel too disappointed!), so instead I'm giving away some yummy fabric


These are 3 fat quarters (actually they are slightly larger!) of Hex Box from Prince Charming by Tula Pink for Westminster/Free Spirit; Empire Weave from Heirloom by Joel Dewberry for Westminster/Free Spirit; and Daylight Urchin Forest from Marine by Dan Stiles for Birch Organic Fabrics.


I'm also including a few small(ish) scraps, yes there's some bits of Flea Market Fancy by Denyse Schmidt in there, as well as other lovelies.



** All you have to do to win is leave me one comment telling me what is making you smile today!**

** If you are a follower please leave me a second comment telling me so for another chance to win**


PLEASE MAKE SURE I CAN CONTACT YOU in case you WIN!! Some people LOTS OF PEOPLE are no reply bloggers, which means I have no way to contact you if you win and you won't know you've won if you're not a follower! - please check I can see your email in your profile and if you're not sure include your email address in the comment!

The giveaway is open internationally and will close on Friday 25th May at 11pm (UK time) the winner will be chosen by Mr random generator (not sure why it's not Mrs?!) on Saturday 26th May.


Of course we'll all be checking out the other fun giveaways at Sew Mama Sew!

  8. The first thing I saw this morning when I woke up, was my kitty laying on the floor at the foot of my bed, waiting for me to wake up. The fact that he didn't meow to get my attention (thereby waking me up) put a smile on my face :)

  13. What is making me smile today is that Doctor told me that I can be going home today. I have been in the hospital with Leukemia for the last 35 days and am willing to go back home and sew what I had already cut, a dress for my granddaughter.

  14. As a follower this is my second chance. I hope the doctors can release me today from the hospital. I have been 35 days already here because of a surprise leukemia that just came our after 5 week of my operation. Anyway, I want to go back home and sew for my grandchildren. And that makes me happy and smile today.
    Thanks for sharing with us all your giveaways. It is always fun to participate.

  15. What's making me smile today is that my new fridge-freezer has arrived today! It's new and shiny and energy-saving and is so lovely compared to the old one which turned my lettuce and cucumbers to ice every week!
