Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway Day

UPDATE - GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED - THANKS SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED

Welcome to Giveaway Day!  For the visitors from Sew, Mama, Sew - nice to meet you!  Feel free to take a look around my blog - I've been pretty busy quilting over the last few months.


These are a few of my favourite projects:



Today, I'm giving away this charm pack of Quilt Blocks prints by Ellen Luckett Baker for Moda.



To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment letting me know what you like to see on sewing and quilting blogs - for example, finished projects, process posts, tips and tricks, tutorials, interviews with people in the industry, etc.

You can get an extra entry for each of the following (just leave an extra comment for each that applies):

- following my blog (through google friend connect or a feed reader); and
- liking my facebook page.

This giveaway is open to everyone (including international participants), but if I can't contact you, you can't win.  If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave your email address in the comment.

The giveaway will stay open until around 10 pm Sunday 12 May 2013 (New Zealand Time), and I will use the random number generator at random.org to pick a winner then.

By the way, I normally reply to each and every comment, but giveaway day is a little crazy!  Know that I will be reading and appreciating all your comments though.

UPDATE - GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED - THANKS SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED

Melanie Sim (Heart and Homemade) said...

Thanks for the chance to win! I most like to see finished items on blogs. When I find a new blog, I check through to their finished projects page, see if I like their style, and that will determine whether I stay. Once I become a follower, I like to see the process unfolding, and also to see their personality shine through their writing.

best of all I like seeing start-to-finish projects... starting off with the blogger's inspiration, a few how-to comments or posts about the process, and finally seeing the finished project. Some things are all in one, and some take several posts... I love them both!
I'd love to win your giveaway... and promise to blog about it when I make something too! ehehe I don’t know if my email will show up, since I’m a WordPress user and by the looks of things, that means that even though I’d be willing to share my information, it might mean it won’t show up… :( (I read about this here: http://piecemealquilts.com/2011/09/08/no-reply-no-kidding/ after trying to figure out what a ‘no-reply blogger’ was! On Wordpress we always see the email addresses of those who comment.
Anyways.. I blog at http://dawnsdressdiary.wordpress.com and if I’m the lucky winner I can be emailed at d period Linnemoller at samru period com thanks!
