Welcome to the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Extravaganza!
This Giveaway has officially ended!
I look forward to the Sew Mama Giveaway every year. This time I get to be the giver...and I have to say, I'm thrilled to be participating!
Being a new blogger (very new), I'm still finding my way, my voice and my own blogging style. This giveaway is a great way to introduce ourselves, build readership and find some fantastic new blogs!
This is going to be fun...are you ready? Set? Let's go!!!
I have two prizes up for grabs! Yippie!
THE FIRST PRIZE:
A beautiful collection of Hand Dyed Fat Quarters (1 1/4 yard total). Hand dying fabric is a new passion for me. I love creating unique colors and textures. I have many other fat quarter sets available in my Etsy shop, Twiggy & Opal.
This set is bright and bold. Perfect for so many projects. The variation in the fabric is what I love the most!
THE SECOND PRIZE:
A great combination of goodies! A lovely, fragrant and beautiful bar of soap! This soap is made by my lovely daughter Britt. She is just getting ready to open her own Etsy shop 'Hello Soap'. Also, make-up bag with a vintage button heart on the front!
A great little 'pick me up' for anyone!
How about the rules?! I bet you would like to know what you have to do to win, well....
a couple of back flips, do a happy dance? NAH! Let's keep it simple!

My favorite tool is a chopstick I use for pushing out corners when I'm sewing, It's super cheap and works so well :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is my crochet hook with the polymer clay handle. It makes it easier to crochet.
ReplyDeleteFollowed your blog!
I do follow this Blog already - and I love to see what you have to say each time I get a notification that there is a new post!
ReplyDeleteFavorite tool - well, the obvious answer would be a crochet hook, or YARN, but I think I have to say instead that my enormous, mountainous, humongous megalo-yarn stash is my alltime-necessary tool to work with. I always have a coordinating yarn, no matter what the project calls for, without running out to the store. (Okay, most just think i am a hoarder - but there IS an upside.)
Thanks for a great giveaway. I can't work without my favourite scissors.

ReplyDeleteOh, my favorite tool ... what a hard one to answer! The most handy is, of course, a phillips head screw driver. The one that makes me feel the most powerful is the electric drill. But the one that I use more often than any other is probably my sewing machine, followed closely by my seam ripper. lol Needless to say, I love sewing, but NOT unsewing!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think I'm a follower - I'm still trying to get used to Mr. Reader, which has (finally!!) allowed me to get back to reading all my blogs. Oh, google reader, you are sorely missed!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is my lint roller. I use it all the time. Especially on the sewing table and cutting tablet o clean up messy threads and cotton dust and fibers quickly.

And my favorite use is after ripping out a seam to help pull all those pesky little threads out.

ReplyDeleteMy computer is my favorite tool :) Beautiful hand dyes!
ReplyDeleteFavourite quilting tool - my sewing gauge! I am a new quilter and don't have a quilting machine or even quilting feet so the 1/4" mark on my gauge is important.
ReplyDeleteI am always grabbing for my snips. Thanks for the chance, fingers crossed for the soap and bag.
ReplyDeleteGreat hand dyes! I love my ultra sharp little embroidery scissors that can snip off thread right next to the fabric.

ReplyDeleteI follow you on Bloglovin and Like you on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteI'd say an awl is my favorite :) You can punch holes in leather with it, use it for book binding, curl wire around it for jewelry making, pick a block of ice apart with it (I never have but you could ;) )
ReplyDeleteOh and lets not forget its a great personal safety device, if you wind up walking home late, its so much more reassuring to carry that in your palm. Not that I've ever had to, but just sayin.
DeleteI think scissors are my favorite tool! crossing my fingers for that soap + make up bag!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity - I love the hand dyed fabric, I'm already imagining what that would look like with some neutral linen. I love my set square - which sounds really boring, but I use it in my day job and in my crafty pursuits so, so much I would be truly lost without it
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are beautiful!

ReplyDeleteThe first tool that came to mind when I read your question was my drill press. I like to craft with wood too and this wonderful tool has made life so much easier.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors you have dyed these fabrics. Very bold and bright.
I follow the blog via email now, I didn't know you started one - silly me! My favorite tool is my sewing machine - I've been using it to make more gifts for family and myself than to sell things lately, but I love sitting down with tea and spending hours with the happy little buzzz noise :)
ReplyDeleteMy email is divinemslulu@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI've signed in to follow you. My favorite tool is the rotary cutter. Such a time saver!
ReplyDeleteLove you hand died fabrics! Colors are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is little clip that attached to my shirt holding my snippy scissors on a retractable cord. I wear if from morning to night and have even been found at the post office or out on a bike ride with it still attached.
I wish your daughter well with her new venture. My favorite, and most expensive, tool is...me. Seriously, if I'm unable to sew, quilt, knit, spin, felt, do my farm work, etc., it all comes to a screeching halt.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is me and I take Very Good Care of me -smile-.
I've been intrigued with hand-dyed fabrics, but haven't taken time to try it out! My favorite tool is a little pick tool from a nutcracker set my mom had since I was a child. I use it to guide the seams to the foot when I'm putting on binding by machine, and also to straighten out corners after I turn fabric back to the right side. And it didn't cost me a dime!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower, fellow Quiltsy and look forward to reading your posts.
