UPDATE - GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED - THANKS SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED
Hello, and welcome to my little corner of the Quilting Gallery Blog Hop Giveaway Party. The theme this round is beat the winter blues, but in my neck of the woods it should really be beat the summer heat - we are having an unprecedented run of golden weather!
If you're a new visitor, welcome, and feel free to take a look around - you can find my finished projects under the headings above, and I also have a few tutorials if you're looking to try something new.

So, onto the real reason you're here - what am I giving away? Well, I thought I would do something different and make a zipper pouch for the winner of my giveaway, using the open wide zipper pouch tutorial from Noodlehead. If some scraps of fabric and other goodies fall into the pouch before I send it off, who am I to take them out again?
To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment with two words which describe what you would like your pouch to look like, if you are the winner (i.e., fabric colours, type of pattern on the fabric, or other descriptive words). There will be an element of surprise, so I'm not making any promises, but I will take your preferences into account. Followers (existing and new, and whether you follow through google friend connect, google reader, or by following my facebook page) get a second entry - just leave a second comment letting me know you follow. I am very happy to ship internationally.

Here is one I prepared earlier - the winner's will be this shape but with different fabrics. |

Good luck!
