Update: The giveaway is now closed.
Congratulations to commenter #145 - Kathy.
Thanks to everyone who entered to win. It was so much fun to have my inbox filled with blog comments. Hope you all have a great Christmas.
Welcome new comers!!
Twice a year there is a Giveaway Day hosted by Sew, Mama, Sew. Over the past 3 years I have won 2 different things, so I thought I would have my own giveaway. You can click on the picture above to find many more giveaways - go click now!! (Just a warning, it may consume your entire day...)
So today, up for grabs, are 4 pieces of fabric from my stash. (edit: I know the one on the top right looks orange-ish, but it is actually pinks. This is what I get for taking the pictures on a horribly dreary rainy day.)
The first is a yard from Midwest Modern by Amy Butler. The other 3 are fat quarters. I'm not sure what 2 of them are, but one is from Boutique by Chez Moi - that is the one with the pink background.
To win the fabric you only need to leave a comment. You can tell me about your favorite winter past time, but it's really not a requirement. I'll choose a winner at random at the close of the giveaway.
The giveaway will be open until 8pm EST on December 16th. I'll announce the winner shortly after that. Please make sure that there is a way for me to contact you if you win. And I will ship internationally.
Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy browsing all the other great giveaways this week!!
Oh - and my favorite winter past time - sitting with a hot beverage (tea, coffee, hot chocolate - I'm not picky) and reading a book with the snow falling outside, that's if I'm alone. With the kids - I love watching them stomp around in the snow and building all sorts of snow creatures with them.
