Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day: Kona Color Card Giveaway! [CLOSED]

Welcome! I am happy that you are here to join me on Sew, Mama, Sew's Giveaway Day! If you are new to my blog, you can click the following links for more about me and my finished quilts

Sew, Mama, Sew's Giveaway Day is one my favorite times of year! I love to meet new bloggy friends and the chance to win free stuff isn't so bad either :D!


Here is my offering: One person will win a Kona Cotton Solids Color Card (Robert Kaufman Fabrics).  Kona is one of my favorite brands of solid fabrics, because of both the availability and the color selection.

I won a Kona color card earlier this year and it has been my absolute favorite sewing tool. My previous method for choosing solids was to hope Hobby Lobby had what I needed or buy online & cross my fingers. I am so much more efficient now! I am thrilled to be able to offer a color card to one of my readers today!



GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED!
 The Winner is:

I'm finishing up a few lap quilts. Thanks for the giveaway!
 Thanks for entering this giveaway! I didn't have time to reply to comments (family emergency situation), but I am enjoying reading them! Good luck to everyone on their holiday projects!

For a Chance to Win:


Leave one comment telling me about your sewing or crafting plans for this month. Are you doing any special sewing projects for the holidays?

My most pressing projects are the Looking Back Quilt, a Swoon quilt & a Superhero Alphabet Cross Stitch. I was hoping to have the cross stitch done by December 25th, but at the rate I'm going it won't be done for another 10 years. It is taking up all my internet time :D!



Fine print: This giveaway will close December 7th, 2012 at 5pm PST. The winner will be chosen using random.org. I am willing to ship internationally. I will be contacting the winner by email. If you're a "no reply" or anonymous commenter, please be sure to include your email address in your comment so that I am able to contact you if you win. Entries without an email address will be disqualified. The winner must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If the winner does not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.

Good luck and thanks for stopping by! 
You can see the all the giveaways at Sew, Mama, Sew's Blog (starting December 3 @ 6AM PST).

I still have stockings to make for my Grandkids and some stuffed toy things. Also, I would love to find a good 'manly' looking pattern to make my husband a pouch/holder for his tablet which is still sitting on the floor leaning against the ottoman. Now that our 9 month old Granddaughter who lives with us temporarily is starting to walk that tablet needs protection. There are other things on my list but, I'm fairly sure they won't be done this year sadly.

baukje said... #

I love that colorcard. Its so difficult to guess if the color is the same as the color you have in your stash. i always forget to put names on when I buy them. I just started to cut squares for a Poststampquilt in Dutch folk fabric.

I made 2 quilts, a couple of pin cushions. I knit/crocheted some aprons, scarves, wrist warmers, blankets and washcloths. I made a bunch of earrings, too.
