modern fabric bundle ~ giveaway ~
**GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED**
My stash is superabundant and so it seemed right to share it and join the Sew Mama Sew giveaway day!
I created a modern bundle of fabrics to giveaway that I think you'll love. There are bright fun prints, low volume and stash blenders.
I know you're probably all hopping around so I won't go into too much detail about what is there but the bundle includes a couple of FQs and plenty of scraps - all a useable size (though many have pieces cut out, it is my stash after all!). They are unwashed designer quilting cottons (two are cotton/linen blends).
Let's break it down a bit...
So do you fancy helping me decrease my stash and using these lovelies in your handmade projects?
*SORRY GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED*
Please leave your email address in the comment to be sure I can contact you, no reply bloggers have been picked as the winner before and lost out because I can't get in touch with them! No reply bloggers/comments will not win.
The giveaway is open internationally and will close on Saturday 13th December, the winner will be chosen by random.org and announced here on that day.
The winner was announced here.

Congratulations! I'm sending you an email :)
Thanks to everyone who entered and stay tuned for another giveaway soon. Hopefully later today I will be showing you my entry in the Blogger's Quilt Festival so please pop back!
it's my birthday
Today is my birthday. I've had a lovely relaxing day and even managed a little sewing, which I'll show you later in the week. For now I'll share some lovely fabric goodies.
Recently I won a couple of giveaways from the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway day. First up this gorgeous bundle of goodies from rosa e chocolat - such pretty fabrics, beautiful yarn and the sweetest little bag - thank you!
Then this super snuggly bundle of Puttin' on the Ritz from Sew Adorable Fabrics - a shop packed with gorgeous fabrics! Thank you Hannah!
Then yesterday a gift from my fabulous sister arrived and she had just ordered it on Friday. The divine Green Tea and Sweet Beans pattern book by Jen Kingwell and some lovely Pam Kitty Picnic from The Running Chicken - I would definitely recommend this shop! I have the bestest sister ever xxx
After all the birthday excitement the little one fell asleep on me late this afternoon. That doesn't happen as often now she's nearly one (she usually naps in her bed) and it was just precious.
Off to enjoy a takeaway curry and watch Her with hubbie - a blissful end to a great day!
Linking up:
happy to make your acquaintance
Welcome to Charm About You! I'm Lucy, mum to 3 little uns, who looks forward to those stolen moments (mostly after bedtime) when I can get my craft on. I love to quilt, with some cross stitch and embroidery thrown in for good measure. Check out the tabs above to see pages of the stuff I've made!
I was so happy when Beth asked me to host this week's link up and have fun getting acquainted with fellow crafty bloggers. If you're new here please stay and look around, this week is super busy on my blog and there's lots of awesome things going on so you might want to check back over the next couple of days (especially if you like giveaways, hint hint!!).
This week I've been working on presents for my son's friends. It always seems that we have no birthday parties and then a spate of them all at once. My lovely friend Erin has made some gorgeous kids cushions, like these ones, so I took inspiration from them.
I wanted had to get them done quickly so I chose the easy quilt as you go method and used strips from my stash. I appliqued the boys initials using zig zags and think it gives a nice personal touch.
I made envelope backs - I always refer to this post when making cushions, it has a great table to work out the size of fabric cuts you need and has simple tutorials for putting a cushion together.
Now I'd love to see what you've been up to!
1. Link up any recent sewing/quilting post.
2. In your post or on your blog, please include either a text link or a button letting people know

3. Visit at least the two bloggers who link up before you and everyone who visits you from this post.

bag a giveaway
**GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED**
I will cut right to the chase...
I am giving away this pretty clutch I made using this pattern by Michelle Patterns.
This clutch should be 'just right' because it is the middle size - suitable for an e-reader maybe? I think it would be a cute place to keep notecards or what ever your heart desires. It has a secret pocket too!
For the purposes of the giveaway I will be filling it with these yummy scraps:
Some larger pieces and some teeny but all lovely!
**GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED**
littleish
Last month I was hoping to get quilts finished in April, that didn't happen. I made some fun little things though:
I am super pleased with them all and I'm also loving all the projects I've got on the go. I think having less time to sew has made me focus, I'm enjoying keeping up with my bees and getting blocks done each month. Little bits keep me busy.
My current focus is getting this made into a little giveaway prize for the Sew, Mama, Sew giveaway day, be sure to come back here on Monday!
And I have finished the DP quilt top for Cindy, the gorgeous fabrics are from Fluffy Sheep Quilting and I shall be quilting this beauty very soon! Sorry I haven't had time to press it yet but you get the idea, I used this pattern from Moda Bakeshop.
I also got some goodies in the post, I won a half yard bundle of Kona Modern Quilts in the pacific colourway from Tammy at Marmalade Fabrics:
oh goody it's GIVEAWAY day!
***GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED***
I'm joining in with the wonderfulness that is the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day.
As I'm currently nearly eight months pregnant and trying to get as many of my own projects done before the little one arrives I haven't made anything to giveaway but am resorting to sharing some of my stash (I will be sharing more giveaways very soon too!).
I decided to pick some quite eclectic fabrics to share today, some of which are my favourites and I have used them all in various sewing projects:
My Blogger's BOM quilt, which is still under construction
Camera Case - I also made a camera strap with the lining fabric
Adore my Infinity scarf!
On to the actual giveaway then...
These lovelies could be yours!
From left to right:
Violet (roses print), from Weekends by Erin McMorris - over a FQ (has been cut into slightly)
Unknown but lovely retro print fabric - just less than a FQ
Spotted in the Crowd, from Field Study by Anna Maria Horner - a FQ
Marqueterie, from Indie by Pat Bravo - a FQ
So what do you have to do to win?
Sorry THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED
Fair warning because nothing annoys me more...
if I can't get in touch with you then you can't win. Please be sure I can by leaving your email in the comments!
I will post internationally and the giveaway will end on Friday 7th December.
I usually respond to comments, during giveaways it's too much though and I won't be able to but I will certainly be reading every single one!
Good luck and be sure to check out the other fabulous giveaways at Sew Mama Sew

There is certainly a lot of smiling people around! Thank you to everyone who left a comment on my Sew Mama Sew giveaway post, I really enjoyed reading all your comments and was astounded by the response.
I really appreciate all my followers and welcome to those of you who chose to follow this week!
Things have been pretty quiet on the sewing front because we've been enjoying glorious weather but I'll be back on Monday to show you the little I've been doing.
So who has won this great bundle?
Mr random generator chose number 613:
Since the posts start from 1 on each page of 200 I had to scroll through to the 600s and 613 (which shows as 13) was:
Congratulations Elaine! I've sent you an email.
I hope you're all having a fabulous weekend. I'm going to try and finish quilting a couple of quilts that need doing and then I seriously have to prepare for the Fat Quarterly Retreat since I'll BE THERE this time next week!!!! Must stop being a last minute Lucy!!
Hopefully I'll have some finishes to show you very soon.
...but the garden and an ice lolly might just distract me again ;)

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!

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.
