This Giveaway Day has concluded – join me in congratulating Blu on winning these sewing supplies!

 

It’s Giveaway Day once again.  I love the fact that Sew, Mama, Sew organizes and hosts this a couple of times each year.  It’s a fun way to discover some new blogs and shops.  Settle in with a warm, tasty beverage of your choice and do a little exploring.

GiveawayDay

For those of you who’ve never visited before, I’ve been blogging here at Crafty Staci for a while now, and love sharing simple, original tutorials and a few recipes. You can see all of my previous tutorials here, and recipes here. If you’d like to keep up with my adventures, you can subscribe over there in the side bar. ——————->

I have an Etsy shop and play around a bit on Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter. In between all that, I make stuff.

Last year, I gave away one of my Ninja Monkey Bags.  This time, in addition to a handmade item (visit my other post today for that giveaway – it’s not a bag!), I wanted to give you something to encourage your own creativity.  After all, that was my motivation for starting this blog in the first place.

Here’s what the winner will receive:  five lovely fabric fat quarters, a half yard of my favorite iron-on interfacing, a 7 inch white zipper, a spool of white thread, pink flower buttons and a blue butterfly button.

GAD May 2012 supplies 1

There are billions of fat quarter projects out there if you need a little motivation.  In fact, I recently spent a week focused on fat quarters, so there’s plenty here to get you started.

To enter to win everything here, just leave me a comment.  It doesn’t have to be long, I’d just appreciate something that will add to the quality of my day.  The giveaway will remain open until 5 pm, PST on Friday, May 25th. After that, I’ll randomly choose a winner (who I’ll notify by email, so make sure yours is linked to your comment somehow). International readers are welcome to enter. Every one of your countries is on my bucket list.

  1. For this sweet bundle of craftiness, i would … tapdance on my driveway. Or maybe do an Irish clog. Neither of which I know how to do.

    Thanks for the chance, and I’m enjoying your blog by email!

  3. Your blog is such an inspiration to me! From the story on how you organized your studio to all the great ideas you’ve found on the internet. I really appreciate the time you spend enlightening us! :) Enjoy your day!

  5. I love the colors of the fabrics! My daughter has been begging for me to make her a skirt and these would be perfect. And we can’t forget a matching chevron tie for the little mister!

  7. I would love to win this give- a-way. I love to craft and just began sewing a few months ago and love it.

  8. You have such a great eye for coordinating fabrics – thanks for the chance to win such a lovely prize pack. I am already thing of what I could make with it!

  9. I really need to win this! =) I love sewing and making all kinds of things for our home. I am just now finishing up some oilcloth place mats. I made the oilcloth, too. What fun! I did find out that it is probably best to make your item, before you make it into oilcloth. =) It doesn’t sew real well when it is already made into the oilcloth.

  10. You are the most generous ever… what a great lil give away in such lovely colors.. I am a new follower but know I am gonna love it here…thanks for the chance

  13. You are SEW inspirational. I really admire your choices of fabric and color combinatins. Sure wish we could be neighbors and enjoy some crafty afternoons together.

  14. You are very generous and kind to spend the time to blog and participate on a give-away. Thank you

  15. Such a great giveaway! I was looking at you tutorials and think I will try out your method of making labels.

  17. I love the colors in those fat quarters! I have so many projects saved on Pinterest for fat quarters, this prize would definitely go far. :)

  21. Something to add to the quality of your day, you say? Well… you’re precious, important, remembered, cared-for, safe, loved… you’re unexpectedly wonderful, a treasure, a joy, and your heart is open to those around you. You see things with fresh eyes and see the best in people. You’re kindness is like sunshine in the morning – a warm reminder of good things ahead. You hate looking back at the past because you’d much rather be joyful about the present and the future. So many people are encouraged by your presence – even down to the smile you give the clerk at the grocery store. You take time to stop and pet the dog you pass at the park… you celebrate the little things. You see that life is made up of little moments, and you have a unique ability to treasure each one. God is madly in love with you because He’s fascinated by who you are, even though He made you. He’s set you in motion and loves being part of your life – the center of your delight, the joy in your step, the ability to get up again after heartache. You’re like Him in that way – indomitable but so gentle and kind. Blessed to encounter you, and may your toes sing as you twirl through your day!

  22. A little giggle to add quality to to your day: A tour bus driver is driving with a bus load of seniors down a highway when he is tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady. She offers him a handful of peanuts, which he gratefully munches up.
    After about 15 minutes, she taps him on his shoulder again and she hands him another handful of peanuts.
    She repeats this gesture about five more times. When she is about to hand him another batch again he asks the little old lady, ‘Why don’t you eat the peanuts yourself?’ ‘We can’t chew them because we’ve no teeth’, she replied.
    The puzzled driver asks, ‘Why do you buy them then?’
    The old lady replied, ‘We just love the chocolate around them.’

    p.s great giveaway. Nicely put together . . . and so is your website. LoVe LOve LovE!!

  23. I love love love fat quarters they are so fun to work with I madee a great spring purse out of some last month, in really bright fabric. It turnened out great.your fat quarters are about as bright & cherry as my purse. I have a feeling that you are just as bright & cherry as they are. your site is great for ideas cathy a

  26. oh, oh, oh, those looks like dresses for my nieces..5 olders ones, 1 brand new one, 2 still waiting to make an appearance and 1 granddaughter….as you probably have guessed my family really doesn’t have any boys…not many any way 2 only…

  27. You’ve picked such pretty springy girly fabrics – they’re kind of screaming (with the interfacing and zipper) to be made into a little springy bag aren’t they?

    (Here’s a giggle – spell check doesn’t know the word ‘zipper’. Apparently spell check was born in the velcro era…)

  30. How very generous of you and thanks for the chance to win. I can see either a bag or something for my granddaughter made up in that cheery fabric.

    Sandy

  31. I can’t miss this lovely giveaway, these fat quarters are adorable they have my favourite colors (pink and green) with this fabric, I’d sew something pretty nice for my little girl Anna…
    PLEASE PICK MEEEE ^^)

  32. Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful giveaway!. The fabrics are gorgeous, I love fresh happy colors. Do you think your fabric fortune teller will predict me as a winner?

  33. Well, firstly, thank you for a lovely giveaway. Let me just say that I hope that the sun shines brightly upon you and your heart is filled with joy. =)

  35. Great fabric bundle! As to the quality of your day, just know that I am wearing orange glittery butterfly wings right now and in a moment will chase my daughter around the house, with her giggling as the butterfly mom comes to get her to take her nap.

  37. I’d love to enhance your day but my brain is currently sitting under a tonne of cotton wool. I’m really sorry I can’t make you smile but I promise to squeal very loudly and do a happy dance if I win ;-)

  38. I just love the fabrics! I am working on a baby blanket right now and I am using some of that yummy cherry fabric! I would love to win the other ones to add to my blanket! The buttons look like fun too!

    Thanks for the generous giveaway!

  48. Great fabrics. I have a niece who is about to turn 1. I could make her a couple cute dresses with these. Thanks!

  51. Great fabrics! They’d be great for a new boxy zippered pouch.

    How about a joke? What did the zero say to the eight?

    Nice belt!

  55. I would love to win these for my niece. SHe likes to create things & I want to encourage her creativity.

  56. What a happy bundle that is! I would use them to make something happy for my best friend’s little girl. She loves the skirts and things that I’ve made her in the past…and that’s the whole reason I make stuff! :) Thanks for the chance to win!

  58. As I was scrolling through the giveaways, my five year old daughter came up and said, “Mom, I want THAT one” so I thought I would enter and keep my fingers crossed. It’s super cute!

  61. Awesome fabric! Love those bright colors! What a great give away, like to give that a chance too! Thanks for organizing! Kind regards, Conny

  65. The thought of winning stuff makes me gidding. And I needed this today since I passed up on a really cool vintage office chair today because I chickened out of dumpster diving. thanks

  82. What a thoughtful giveaway. I plan to comeback and check out some of your fat quarter projects.

  91. What a lovely prize package. I’m already dreaming of what I can create. Hmm, you want me to add to the quality of your day — that’s a lot of pressure, missy! Not sure how to do that. I will say that I love your thread spool linky icons on the right. Very creative!

  93. This fabric is really cute. Sorry but I am too tired to thing of anything to add to the quality of your day. Mine is almost over.

  96. i entered your other giveaway and then subscribed to your blog and found this one! how lovely. i can’t wait to see what your other posts will be like! thanks so much for sharing and happy giveaway day!

  97. This is an awesome package you’ve set up! You have wonderful taste!

    I wish I could send you pictures of my recent trip down the California Coast. I know it would brighten your day! I spent the weekend with a friend who is at Language school for the Army. It was the first large chunk of time we’ve been able to spend with each other since we met just before he went into boot camp and he’s been deployed twice since then! We drove along the beach, went to a cultural festival on base, visited the aquarium, went wine tasting, ate delicious meals, went to church together… it was beautiful.

  99. This is a wonderful giveaway. I sew for the children’s hospital here in Spokane WA and I could put all of this to very good use. Thank you!

  116. I love sneaking around your blog and seeing your awesome tutorials! What can you do with a fat quarter, let me count the ways. Perhaps some cute washable snack bags? Or a coordinating hat/mini purse for DD? Ooooh the ideas…

  117. Thank you for the chance to win such yummy crafting supplies. Hmm, now to add to the quality of your day. I am bookmarking your site to come back. I have really enjoyed my visit, and I am glad I found you through Sew Mama. And blessings to you, too. Good??!!

  151. Such sweet fabrics. Along with the zipper, I think I’d make a little box bag for my knitting or to help organize some of my kids’ stuff!

  154. It’s very thoughtful of you to add interfacing, zippers ,thread and buttons.and your work is marvellous.
    anghhong(at)yahoo(dot)com

  160. Gorgeous fabric, awesome giveaway. May actually give me the boost to pull out the sewing machine ASAP.

  163. What lovely fabrics, those colors go together so nicely! Reading your post was so sweet and I gave my little girl and extra hug and kiss because these fabrics are so sweet, so know that you contributed to a little extra bit of love in the world today!

  165. Today you are you
    That is truer than true
    There is no one alive

  167. Summer is almost here so dont forget to sleep in and go have some fun atleast once a week.. thanks for the give a way

  168. This is so cute! Maybe time to make myself a bag …

    hannah dot kitching at hotmail dot co dot uk

  169. Lovely fabric choices, really bright and springy. I have to admit I’ve been quite bad at entering giveaways this year because I keep on discovering blogs i want to read and then get caught up doing that for an hour instead…I think i’m going to have a go at the Ninja monkey sling bag, too many nice things and not enough hours in the day!

  170. Thank you for sharing! This is a wonderful bundle of sunshine on such a rainy day.

    lindsay(dot)forgette(at)gmail(dot)com

  172. Those fabrics would be perfect for a project I have planned! Hmmm…to enhance your day. Who is Burger King’s wife?
    Dairy Queen!
    Of course my 11 yr old boy thought that was hilarious and he got a giggle out of me.

    Than you for your generosity.

  173. your social media buttons are fun and different – I like them :)

  174. Lovely giveaway. HMM something to improve the quality of your day? That’s a tough one since I don’t know you. How about this? There once was a girl from Nantucket. Wait, wait. That’s not polite. How about a heartfelt wish for a happy day?

  179. Such adorable and lovely prints *_* pretty girly and springish ones-as I just looked at them they made my day :)

  181. So awesome! I love fat quarter projects myself! They tend to be quick & I am always strapped for time. I have a history of starting a long project & then getting bored & never finishing. :-)

  185. this is a really great giveaway, lots of pretty goodies! I found you through sew moma sew but I will definitely be back to check out your giant list of tutorials!
    Thank you!

  190. Ooo, these are fun! Ok, add to the quality of your day…that’s a tall order! Heres something that made me chuckle. My youngest son is learning how to dress himself. One day he kept putting his pants on backwards and we gently reminded him twice in a row it was on backwards and to turn it around. He just looked at us calmly and said, “ok, but please don’t bring it up again! “.

  193. Fun fabrics. They would make a cute picnic throw for my neice’s. Thanks for the chance at .your generous giveaway

  194. What a beautiful giveaway! Thanks so much for the chance. :)

    I love the design of your blog. I’m in the midst of re-doing mine & so I find I’m noticing lovely designs more & more right now. xo

  200. Went to my youngest sister’s wedding in Hilton Head last week. I’ve never seen such a beautiful and classy bride. Thanks for the chance.

  205. Visiting from Sew Mama Sew. Thanks for the giveaway! I hope your day is lovely. :)

  206. I love the SMS give-aways, as you discover so many great blogs. Have just found you on FB too.

  207. Your giveaway package is so bright and colorful, I love it. I hope you have a wonderful summer!

  209. What a beautiful grouping of fabrics and how great to add a zipper and buttons so we’d be pretty much set for almost anything we’d like to make. Great idea. Thank you for the chance.

    I love coming to your blog although I am rather quiet many times but I do follow your blog because you have such great ideas. I hope you have a great week.

  227. I have a tip for you to enhance the quality of your day: go on an icecream. Icecream always seems to make my day!

  236. Ooh good reminder to buy interfacing I used it all up making a book for my baby boy who turns one today!

  237. Thank you for the chance to win.

    Funny but true story. My sewing companion (4.5 yr old Pomeranian) Rusty is always close by when I am working on any project. He waits until something drops to the floor then turns it in for a treat.

    He used to eat stuff he would find now he tends to fill up on treats some days. He loves it when I am doing applique with small pieces.

  239. What a great giveaway! I love that you have literally supplied everything AND have links to projects! Thanks!

  242. Tutorials and recipes – what a great combination! I’d love to make something fun with your lovely giveaway items – thanks for the chance!

  247. Totally love the cherry fabric! All of them are fabulous! I am wanting to sew so badly! Nothing like pretty fabric to get you motivated!

  248. Thank you for the giveaway. I just became a follower and can’t wait to come back to look at your fat quarter tutorials. Remember that everyday is a gift! If you have kiddos, enjoy every moment!

  249. My son says the funniest things. While he and his brother played he yelled ‘you want to dance, LETS DANCE” he cracks me up!

  252. I read this saying I loved, maybe it will add some quality to your day.
    “It finally occurred to me after my whole life, searching for the one perfect path, that it might be better to follow many paths; to be multi-dimensional instead of one-dimensional.

  255. sweet cute fabric. thanks for include other supplies not only fabric. very thoughtful.

  256. Lovely giveaway prize….my fingers are crossed.
    A joke my son told me. Past, Present and Future walk into a bar. It was tense.
    Thanks for the chance

  257. I love giveaway week… b/c we get to stumble onto so many great blogs we never knew were out there! Thanks for participating so we could check out your blog too!

  259. I really like the compiling of fat quarter projects. I’ll defintely be coming back to those…especially the criss cross coasters! Thanks.

  260. I love the giveaway days. I think I could spend all day long just looking at all these new blogs and personalities. Sometimes I may even get a bit verklempt. It just seems so wonderful that all of these people, including you, are just giving away lovely things for free to a community that really appreciates it. Humanity can be pretty great.

  261. I love the crafting community, as a lifelong non-sewist it is mainly through the generosity of bloggers like you that I am now a very happy quilter & sewist (nearly 2 years now!) so thanks from me for that. And thanks as well for your lovely & generous giveaway.

  262. What a lovely prize, I absolutely love the fabric combo you’ve selected! You have a wonderful eye for color. Thanks for the opportunity!

  263. I love the selection you are giving away and am sure that I could put it to use! I’m not sure about adding quality to your day, but I can tell you that I have managed to type this comment while juggling a squirmy one-year old in my lap :)

  264. Such cute fabrics.
    I think a kid’s hug goes a long way for the quality of life… :-)
    Katz.gali(at)gmail.com

  268. What a fabulous giveaway! Very very generous of you. I’m looking forward to having a poke around your blog :-) Thanks for the chance to win!

  274. What lovely FQ’s! They would make a great hand bag. I’ve designed one that uses 6 fqs that I love. I’ve made 2 or 3 different ones, as it’s fun to change bags. And these would make a great Summer bag. Thanks for a chance at winning.

  275. Crafty Staci. if you havent read my comment from your other giveaway. I just bought my first sewing machine :) !! fist pump.. However I am a total idiot when it comes to measureing fabric, all the basic sewing tools needed. I have no clue where to start. ha ha, But with all your cute little post and tutorials ima get creative. And let me not forget im totally scared of zippers!! Thanks for all your posts!

  278. I’m not sure I can add to the quality of your day, but if you want a laugh you could read my latest post about all the things tht went wrong on my way out here to Tunisia… including me accidentally ordering a monkey for dinner

  279. Great blog you have :-)
    Beautifull fabrics for the summer you have chosen for this give away. Makes me smile :-)
    Having a beautifull day here in Norway today – sunny and warm – that gives me a smile – hope you are lucky with the weather too. And ther will be time for a quilt-meeting later on today.
    Quilthugs

  281. Great fabrics, they are beautiful!! I’ve got a soccer friendly to go to tonight that I’m looking forward to! Hope the day goes by fast!

  283. Have you ever thought of making a tiny little apron for a soap bottle? There is a tutorial for this over at Simplify by Camille Roskelley. Hope that can add to the quality of your day :)

  285. I’ve been sewing like a crazy thing since I found out I was pregnant…baby’s due mid-June! Just found the amazing giveaway day yesterday! What a fabulous idea – and how wonderful that so many people want to take part and share their passion for sewing and crafting. Love your fabrics – so summery and perfect for a little girl! :)

  294. So glad you have a giveaway or I would not have found you. I had a quick look round and had to follow you, the habanero caramel sauce will be appearing in my kitchen soon and may well morph into a dark chocolate version. I will probably be wearing the ruffled apron while cooking. Cooking and sewing under one roof, nirvana.

  295. Oh–just reading some of the comments here–I need to go find the post about organizing your studio! So glad I found your site!

  300. Thanks for the chance! Random fact about me: one of my furry friends usually assists in my crafting. I have 3 dogs and they love to sit under my sewing table and lounge while I create.

  301. Love the fabrics. R u looking for a summer drink? check out pioneer womans iced coffee it is amazing.

  302. Thanks for the chance to win in your giveaway. Just looking at your cheery fabric has brightened my day.

  306. That is beautiful fabric… maybe going towards a quilt for one of my girls. linnetvandijk(at)gmail(dot)com

  307. This morning, my three-year-old told me that he saw a white truck named Bessie. I kept asking him if it was a cow, but he insisted it was a white truck. :)

    Thanks for the lovely giveaway!

  315. Thanks for the chance to win this giveaway, I love the fabrics you have chosen. I am following your blog via email. It is fun to find new blogs like yours.

  316. Thank you for a lovely giveaway. The first sprouts in my vegetable garden are out of the ground- I’m already looking forward to green beans and tomatoes!

  317. Here’s a joke for you:
    What did the zero say to the eight?

    I like your belt.

  324. I haven’t sewn in what seems like forever. I am working on knitting a circular shawl that is never ending. I think I am getting close to finishing…I hope.

  326. those are really gorgeous fabric choices! sew sweet and simple! thanks for the opportunity!

  327. Today I planted snapdragons and artichokes. I love to see the good brown dirt, clear of weeds, and then plant something in it. The artichokes are an adventure, I don’t know if they’ll grow in Cedar, Utah but can’t hurt to try. I tried broccoli several years ago and have planted more each year. I freeze it and we have fresh, frozen broccoli all winter long.

  332. My 2 year old said “I lub you mama” for the first time today! Makes hearing mama 100 times a minute every minute of every day worth it, eh? Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.

  334. Great giveaway! Now, to add to the quality of your day… A wish: May you find $20 or greater in the pocket of an item you haven’t worn in a while. :-)

  336. I agree with an above poster, smile for no apparent reason! It makes my day so much brighter when people are just happy and nice. You will tend to receive the same in return!

  338. We’ve had a beautiful sunrise, the birds are singing and your lovely giveaway – what a great day!

  342. one of my favorite little quotes: the world is so full of such wonderful things; we all should be as happy as kings. thanks for the opportunity and have a great day

  343. I am so sure this is not going to add quality to your day in anyway but I do love this quote and thought i would share it with you.
    “It takes 42 muscles to frown,28 muscles to smile,but only 4 muscles to reach out and slap someone.”
    Hope that it makes you smile at least.

  345. Thanks for offering such a nice give-away. I think I would use at least a couple of those fabrics in a fabric book I am planning to make for a coming baby. (Never too early to start a baby on books or fabric — or both combined in a single gift!)

  347. Thanks for the chance! I had a lovely moment the other day when I was sitting on the couch with the first quilt I ever made over my knees – my 20 month old daughter climbed up next to me lifted the quilt to sit next to me and put the quilt back over her and gave me a “tuddle”. Not sure if that story added to your quality of the day but it sure did for me!

  348. what a sweet collection! If i won these, i would make something to share. but with who – that is the question – who wouldnt love something out of these. I am thinking for my Mom atm – but who knows. :)

  349. Beautiful fabrics! A great find always adds to my day; I love finding new-to-me vintage sheets in their gorgeous, bright colourways. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  350. Lovely fabric! If I won I would add them to my slightly out of control stash. My sister thinks I must spend my day rolling in beautiful fabric!

  352. I love those gorgeous fabrics and the buttons are really cute, too. Thanks for a great giveaway.

  353. Great fabric choices – you have a great eye for colour. I especially love the buttons though – so cute.

  356. I love the spring colours of these fabrics! Thanks for the giveaway (and for your tutorials section – there are some great ideas in there!)

  357. Your tutorials are so informative. I think I’m going to try the Fabric Fortune Teller. It’s such a simple idea but so clever.

  358. Oh, fabulous giveaway! I would love to win for once in my life. I will definitely be back to check out your tutorials.

  359. I was told this am, and figured I’d pass it along, that now is the time to refinance a mortgage. A little odd, I know.

  362. Thanks for the givewaway! Love the fabrics and can already imagine them in a summer-weight quilt!

  363. Had fun looking around your blog. Sooo glad that I found your tutorial on how to make your own tags. I really need to do something like that, and know I can.

  366. Just remember that somebody loves you (I don’t know who) and is likely thinking of you right now.

  368. Yesterday I discovered that an egg slicer also works great on strawberries! :) Thanks for the chance to win!

  369. I try and remember to enjoy the beauty of our craft every day, looking at my fabrics, seeing the beauty in the colors and sheen. We can get caught up in producing and for me, I want to hold on to the beauty of the work.

    thanks for the chance to win! the fabrics are lovely.

  372. If you like rhubarb, this MIGHT add brightness to your day… try making some simple syrup and add some chopped rhubarb, them simmer awhile, strain, chill, and add some fizzy water. Yum!

  375. The sun is my friend, and so is the earth.
    Together we join and then we give birth
    To our children who feel the need to be one
    To take hands with nature, the earth and the sun.

  376. Well, I don’t know if this is going to brighten your day at all, but your spool sidbar buttons for pinterest and all that are the most interesting ones I’ve every seen! Love them!

  380. Beautiful selection of fat 1/4′s…I have a hard time passing them by at the stores myself.

  383. Motivational quote of the day. “You don’t have to be rich to be generous. If he has the spirit of true generosity, a pauper can give like a prince.”

  386. Such a cheerful collection of fabric. Really like some of the items in your etsy shop! I really like photography, and you’ve got some pretty and practical things. Thanks so much for the chance to win!

  389. This is the great thing about these giveaways , you get a chance to find new blogs you want to visit on a regular basis so I have now signed up for your posts by email. I am visiting from Nova Scotia a little province on the east coast of Canada :-) Thanks for the chance .

  393. I’ll share something that added to the quality of my day yesterday. My 9 year old son put a rubber snake in my bed on my husband’s side. I saw him do it, but then my husband didn’t go to sleep for hours, so I was the only witness to his yelp and jump. The image still makes me giggle today! But my son better watch out, one day, my husband will return the favor. Thanks for the chance to win those lovely, inspiring supplies!

  394. What a lovely fabric bundle and prize. I love just looking at those goodies. :) Thanks for your kindness!

  395. Such a lovely bundle of fabrics! I can’t wait to come back to your blog and check it out further. Your fat quarter tutorials are enticing me!

  396. Today in class, I had my students working while I finished up some paperwork at my desk. About 15 minutes in (which is about how long their attention span is), I start to hear some noises. I glance around to see what is going on. One of my boys, who had gotten up to get a drink, was walking back to his seat Steve Urkle style. He had tucked in his shirt and hiked up his shorts. I giggled and thinking my class needed a quick giggle break, grabbed my sunglasses to complete the look! The whole class busted out laughing.

  397. You have great taste . I’m really gonna come back when I have more time and peruse your tutorials! Thanks for sharing your talents with your readers!

  400. NIce selection! I spent the day with the kiddos, and my baby girls are almost walking – so hard to believe! Their so proud of themselves. :)

  405. After a generally lousy day, this is a great question. I’m afraid that I can’t think of anything to brighten your day, but thinking about the good things that happened today rather than just the bad has really brightened mine. thanks.

  406. I am 33, but still remember with a blush that I failed my first driving test by running a red light at a complicated intersection! Right away! And I got pulled over! And the cop made us walk back to the DMV!

  408. Lovely prize! I love the options and opportunity that fat quarters contain – I’m working out a pattern to make a little girls layered skirt using fat quarters – since I have so many that need using!

  410. Sweet giveaway! They are doing roadwork – putting a new surface on- the highway I drive to work. Yesterday morning I came up to the work zone. There was a line of vehicles: four or five dumptrucks full of gravel, several water trucks, three or four rollers, a tar machine. They were all parked on the side and there were eight to ten workers out on the road, sweeping it with push brooms. It was very funny. I’m sure there is a point, that it is some part of the process, but why would you need to sweep a road prior to watering, tarring and gravelling it? :)

  411. I’m in Australia, so I’m very happy you’ve made this international, thank you! :)

  412. I have been spending some quality time with my husband building a deck from our back patio to our pool. He tells me what to do, I forget what he says and change the plans. Many long discussions and revisions have been made many times. And that is usually in the first hour! Needless to say, we have been working on the deck for 10 days!

  416. What a beautiful giveaway! I’m a huge fan of FQs. One of the main things I sew are little bags and zippered pouches to keep all my bits and pieces in. My friend saw one that was in my handbag last week and insisted I show her all the ones in my bag. It turns out there were ten different ones, all with different things in them!

  420. Japan is on your bucket list? Woo hoo! Be sure to look me up when you’re here. If the crowds in big city Tokyo and Osaka start getting to you, I’m on Awaji Island and I can go an entire day without seeing another person (besides my family, of course). You wouldn’t believe I’m in Japan! After living in Tokyo and Nagoya for years, it’s so relaxing to be in the country.

  421. You’ve got me trying to think of a project to use all of the items in your giveaway.

  429. What an awesome gift – I have a hard time putting fabrics together, that is a great grouping. Thanks for the give away!

  431. Thanks for the giveaway. I like the combination of fabrics you chose. I think seeing groups like this help inspire me to think outside the box when choosing my own fabrics.

  432. Thank you for participating in the giveaway! I’m a new visitor to your blog and i look forward to continuing to follow. I could make some wonderful things with your sweet little pkg. As for something to brighten your day, hows this: As a huge baseball fan, and a resident of the greatest baseball city in the U.S., (St. Louis, Cardinal Nation, for those of you international folks), so anyway, last night at the Cards vs. Phillies game at Busch Stadium, a guy ran onto the field just before the start of the 7th inning. Not just some guy, a NAKED ONE!! The number of flashes popping from the crowd was hysterical! And the cheers when the security tried to capture him and he got away was priceless! So anyway, just thought I pass that along, for a little chuckle!

  433. thank you so much for having the “leave a comment’ widget at the start of the comments and not the bottom!! and to add to the value of your day….i’ve been following Oprah’s “Thank you game” on Twitter and Facebook, and today’s challenge is to thank someone who is not expecting it…so Thank you for the opportunity to win this great giveaway! have a good day!
