May Giveaway Day!

Today is the May Giveaway Day hosted by Sew, Mama, Sew! and I'm joining in the fun! For this giveaway I am offering a Fat-Quarter Scrap-bags pattern along with two fat quarters...enough fabric to make not one, but two great bags!


Here are a few simple rules:

Just leave a comment on this post to enter. Any old comment will do, but it would be great if you could tell me where you are from or a little something about yourself.

I will ship internationally, so everyone is eligible to win, but please only one entry per person.

The giveaway will be open until midnight (EST) on May 31, 2009. The winner will then be chosen at random and announced Monday, June 1, 2009.

The winner will be notified by email, so please make sure I have a way to contact you. If the winner does not respond within 48 hours, another entry will be chosen to receive the prize.

There are lots and lots of craft blogs participating in the May Giveaway Day, so be sure to stop by Sew, Mama, Sew! for the complete list of participating sites!

I am 8. I am learning how to sew. I have been doing some embroidery stitches. My 6 year old brother is learning some too. I hope to be on the machine before the end of summer. There are pictures of both of us sewing together and of our projects on my blog. Further down in previous posts, I also have pictures of my family, mom, dad, 15 month brother and other brother and sister. We homeschool.

chimes said...

Great giveaway!

I'm from Des Moines, Iowa and I'm a graphic designer by day and a crafter by night. I used to be a long-distance runner, but injured myself in a marathon last year, so instead, I'm a crafty dame.

I've only recently started quilting, but I've been a seamstress pretty much my whole life. I love coming up with new designs.

Aside from sewing, I do many other crafts — mainly right now it's reclaiming ceramics.

If you're bored, check out my blog for all my crafty endeavors.
I'd love to be in on this! :) Thanks for the opportunity.
