A Little Saturday Fun! and a Giveaway!

My gosh...the days just whizz by for me, and it's been a busy week and just going to get busier the closer we get to Christmas.  Are you getting ready?  Well...maybe I can help you with this new giveaway today....keep reading. 

I was checking my email this morning and went to Sew Cal Gal's Blog and saw that I was the winner from her Friday fun giveaway!  Yay! I won a Beam and Read light. 

I have wanted one of these ever since I first saw them.  Yippee!  I can hardly wait to get it!  Thanks Sew Cal Gal and  Beam and Read!


It's time for me to do a Giveaway too!  Remember??   I promised, and I'm a gal who keeps her promises!  Christmas is a comin' whether we want it to or not, so thought it would be the perfect time  to give away one of my Christmas Bits & Pieces Quilt Kits and some Christmas Quilt Squares from My Etsy Shop.

There will be 3  lucky winners;


1 Lucky winner of the Pre-Cut Christmas Quilt Kit from my shop.




        
You can read more about this kit here.
 

and 2 Lucky Winners of Christmas Prints 5" charm sets from my shop.



This giveaway will end at midnight, November 17th....one whole week!  3 winners will be picked at random by my random generator....my sister in Wy so I have another excuse to call her.  We talk everyday, so I really don't need an excuse...but just thought I'd say that. 

1.  For one entry:  Just leave a comment here and if you do not have a blog, please leave your email address so I have a way of contacting you if you win. 

2.  For another entry:  Go to Facebook, and post about this Giveaway, (or just do a copy/paste of this blog post) then come back here and leave another comment telling me you did this.

3.  For another entry:  Go to Twitter, leave a tweet telling about this giveaway (or just do a copy/paste of this blog post) and make sure you put @sewfunquilts in it so I can verify your tweet.
Then come back here and leave a comment saying you did this. 



Good luck!

More Yummies!

Yesterday I told you about this local quilt shop and talked about their two walls of Batik fabrics in one of the pictures.  I refrained (even tho it was certainly difficult) from buying any Batiks 'cause I had already ordered some online.

I love to get squishes in the mail......and yesterday's mail was my batiks......Yay!  Yippee! Whoo! Hoo!  Hip! Hip! Hurray!

Well....yes, I do get excited over getting yummies like these in the mail.

Three different ones.....2 yards each.....Wowzer!  and what makes it even better is I got them while they were on sale.

After you are through drooling over my new Batiks, go to Fabrics N Quilts online store and check out their Deal of the Day.  They always have some yummy goodies on sale!   and I think there are still some Batiks.

Hey...don't forget my FREE Giveaway ends tonight at midnight.  Make sure you signed up for a chance to win it.

While you're at it, subscribe to my blog (scroll down and look on the RH side for several different ways to be notified) 'cause I'm going to be having another giveaway real soon.

Thanks for visiting.

Sew Many Giveaways

Have you noticed all the neato Giveaways here lately?  Lots of 'em.  Must be the cooler days and the "giving" time of  year everyone is feeling.


Ya gotta go see the Men Quilt Too! show at Pigtales and Quilts and check out all the gorgeous quilts these men are making and then vote for your fav.  I did this on the very first day I learned about it and look what I won......just for leaving one eensy weensy  comment. 

Yippee!  Leah Day's Free Motion Quilting Book!

I believe there are really no accidents in life...and this is one of those times when it  proved to be true!  Leah Day is the gal behind this book and she created the Free Motion Quilting Project, and I had just watched several of her videos the week before.   If you aren't already familiar with her videos, you're missing a lot of good info and heap of fun.   Here's a couple of the fun samples I played around with, and still have some ready to go when I get some more time.

Now I just need to find some more time to practice. 
 

=================================================

Another blog that I like to follow is Stray Stitches and she is having her own Giveaway right now for a Fat Quarter bundle sponsored by The Fat Quarter Shop.

And still another Giveaway  at Lily Pad Quilting's blog for a jelly roll, also sponsored by The Fat Quarter Shop.

Well, that ought to keep you busy for a while.....right? 

Hope you have fun and please tell them  Sew Fun Quilts sent you when you leave your comments. 

My October Giveaway is coming up soon.....so check back.

We Have 3 Winners!

I enjoy sharing my breakfast teatime each day with my sister when we talk on the phone every morning. 

 We share our day's plans with each other......along with a lot of other stuff.  Sisters tell each other everything, don't ya know?

Rather than go online to the Random Number Generator, I asked my sister to choose the Winners of my Giveaway by picking 3 numbers.

AND ........the winners are:

Lime Green Quilt Squares - Jennifer from Hoodies and Flip Flops blog

Sewing Motif Fat Quarters - Lisa from Life Full of Laughter blog

Fall Fabric Appliques - Barefoot T from Quilts By Thunder blog 

Congratulations GO out to all three of you.  Please send me your names and addresses so I can get your prizes in the mail. 

 Hope ya'll had fun with this.



Thanks for visiting.

AND.....we have a winner of my giveaway!

I don't use the online computer number generator to choose my winners.  My number generator lives in Wyoming and is my sister, and I love doing it this way.  So, I called her and told her to choose a number between 1 and 64.

She quickly said #23.....which is Me and My Stitches, Julie Letvine.  Congratulations, Julie.  Julie quilts and also makes very unique quilt jewelry   Here's a link to her blog, so you can take a peek:   http://quiltjewelry.blogspot.com

Julie..send me your mailing address so I can get this pretty fat quarter bundle sent to you.   I don't like posts without pictures, so here's what Julie won.

Oh...by the way...my sister said if she keeps choosing these numbers for me, she thinks the winners should send her something too.....LOL!  Yes, she has a great sense of humor and gives me smiles everyday.  We talk on the phone everyday sometimes 2-3 times.

Thanks everyone!   I'll be doing a July giveaway too......so be looking for it.




Thanks for visiting.

2. Tell a friend about this giveaway and tell them to come to my blog and click on the picture for the free patterns, sign up for AccuQuilt's email lnewsletter and then leave a comment here on my blog.

Be sure to leave two separate comments that you did both to get two chances.

The giveaway ends at midnight on Thursday, June 30th and I'll announce the winner of the fat quarters on Friday.

It Pays to Read the Instructions....AND the winner is?

Thanks to everyone who entered my Giveaway and welcome to all my new followers.   I tried my best to answer and respond to everyone.
I called my "random number generator" ....(my sister).... this morning and asked her to choose a number between 1 and 84.  She chose #33.

You know it's interesting when  I do a Giveaway and just "wing" it as I GO along typing away, thinking on the GO.....no specific plans.  (To my new followers....I won an AccuQuilt GO cutter last year and love it!..so I always make the word GO huge 'cause it's made such a huge difference in my quilting life. )   This time everyone had a chance to enter 5 TIMES by doing 5 different things and commenting each time they did one.   I wondered how many people would actually do the 5 different things and leave me a comment each time.

Well.....would you believe it???.........only 1 person did that....and had  5 chances to win.   Interesting!  Now, take a guess as to which person won my Giveaway?



Did ya guess??






Do you want to know who won??







Aren't you curious who left 5 comments.???





Remember.......there was only one person who did all 5 things and came back and commented each time?????




Well.........who was it??









Congratulations GO to Gene Black....#33!  Gene was the 1st person to leave a comment and said: 

"I am a follower.  I have never made a watercolor quilt.  It looks like fun.  I am in training today.  will try to come back later and do the other things."

and he did.

The #33 winning comment and just one word was:  "Tweeted".  Way to GO Gene! 



I guess it pays off  BIG TIME to follow instructions!


Thanks for visiting.

A BIG THANK YOU! and sharing other blogs.

A BIG Thank You to A Legacy of Stitches, Sandi Andersen, for the pattern I recently won on her blog  giveaway.  Sandi lives in Minnesota where there's always lots of snow in the winter and this is her own design called Snowman Quartet. 

  It's just too cute! 

As if that wasn't enough, she included an extra little surprise...a stitch by hand pattern for a Mother Pin.

Thanks, Sandi.

If you haven't visited her blog before, you're missing out.  Go visit her here.




There are just so many wonderful quilting/stitching/sewing/needlework/creative blogs on blogger now,  I thought I'd start sharing some new ones. 


Just look at these
socks

 Aren't they gorgeous??   and they look so warm & soft too!   From Stitchin' Bints blog; a group of knitters, sharing patterns, yarn, pictures.....how fun! 




I've never made a pair of socks, but these are sure tempting me to try it.  I find it very relaxing to knit or crochet and I'm one of those who has to do something like knitting while watching tv.


Have you ever made a pair of socks??

Happy New Year Giveaway!

Happy New Year everyone!  


As I reflect on 2010, it has been a good year for me with all the Free Giveaways I've won.  AND.....winning the AccuQuilt GO cutter and EQ7 were the absolute best!  So, I decided I'd have a Free Giveaway just for the fun of it.

Hey.....it's my FREE Giveaway, so guess I'll make you work for it a bit.  Get to reading!

If you haven't seen or heard about the AccuQuilt GO cutter go read about it here.   It is the greatest tool/accessory for quilting that has come along since the introduction of the rotary cutter.  It has made my cutting for my quilt projects and my ETSY Store so much easier.  I sell charm squares for quilts and jelly rolls and I've doubled my charm squares & jelly roll colorways since I won the GO.




 

Here's a few of them I've cut with my GO CUTTER.

Okay.....I know you want to know about my FREE Giveaway.  Well, since I won the GO cutter I've been cutting a lot of things and with Valentine's Day coming up soon I thought I'd cut some hearts.  Here's a bunch of LOVE for you;  fabric heart applique's  ranging in size from 2 1/2" to 4 1/2"  already fused with iron on fusible and cut with my GO cutter.  There's 20 of 'em for one lucky winner!  

This one is Easy - Peasy....no hoops to jump through, no websites to visit (although it would be nice if you'd go check out my ETSY store to see if there's anything you'd like to buy..tee hee), no pasting on your blog, no shout out on Facebook (I already did that.) no tweeting to do (I already did that one too.).

All you have to do is be a follower of my blog and leave a comment here.  A winner will be chosen 1/1/2011 at 4pm and posted here.  Good Luck.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!!

GIVEAWAY WINNER! 2 1/2" squares - 100 of 'em!

We have a winner from my giveaway for the AccuQuilt Bloggers Blog Hop! 

Whoa!  Wait a minute.....you won't find out so fast and as easy as me just saying who won.   You ought to know me by now and know that I'm GOing to share about my GO cutter and what I do with it..right?  So, you have to look at all these pictures and read all this chatter before you find out who won my giveaway.  Hey......Oops...now,  no peeking ahead of time.

I do not like to waste one little bit of fabric as you see by my two huge boxes of scraps.  Well, what to do with them?

I like to cut some of them into strips for string quilt blocks ....(a never ending on-GOing project)

And all of the little, little pieces are cut with my GO using the Value Die 2 1/2" square.

What fun it is to see all the different prints, colors, styles all stacked up and ready to be used for a new  special little dolly quilt!

My two Kitty models love this red one I made for them...it GOes with their pretty little red satin hairbows!  These different small dolly quilts are always available for sale in my ETSY store and I have several different ones.

Ahhhhhhh....but you're still waiting to hear who won the big pile of 100 of these little 2 1/2" squares......right?

Ok....ok...stop twisting my arm....that hurts.  "Uncle".  My niece picked #35 and it is.......

  Marilyn who said  "I'm following already and I love the GO! baby.  It is definitely on my Christmas list.  The little squares would come in handy as my son came home yesterday with a wish list for his class and I got the idea to make little doll quilts to donate to his class store.  How fun to have the fabric already cut out for them.  I know what I'll be doing this weekend :)  Thanks for the great blog hop.  I've learned a lot."

Marilyn has a blog  Stash Manicure .   Her latest blog talked about what do you do with all of that "ugly" fabric.  It's a fun read.  GO follow her.

Thanks to everyone who entered  and be sure to stay tuned and keep checking everyday.........there's GOing to be another one this week.
