It's Giveaway Time!!! :)

Hello!  :)

Welcome to sewingly along!  :)

Today's the day!  WooHoo!!!  :)  Please join me for a


Organized by Michelle at Quilting Gallery. Thanks Michelle!  :)  The official blog hop starts Sunday morning, August 26th, shortly after midnight, eastern time. There are LOTS of bloggers participating with each having their own giveaway! There will be LOTS of great stuff to win!  :)  Go to the official Blog Hop Party page to check out the list of all the bloggers participating after midnight tonight!

We will also be celebrating my 1 year Blogiversary!!!  :)  In honor of my 1st blogiversary I'll be giving away TWO prize packages! Yes I said  two! These prize packages are provided by me (I have no sponsors).


The 1st prize package is for the Quilters/Sewers ~


This package includes a charm pack of Moda's "little apples" by Aneela Hoey, a package of long pearlized pins, a package of sewing themed buttons and a kitty cat pin cushion made by me!  :)


The 2nd prize package is for the Cross Stitchers ~


This package includes a "With thy Needle & Thread" pattern- "May Word Play", a 9" x 11" piece of 28ct Quaker Cloth, a skein of DMC White floss, a package of DMC Tapestry needles (size 28), 3 brass charms (butterfly, bee, dragonfly), and a kitty cat pin cushion made by me!  :)


Here's a close up of the kitty cat pin cushion . . .


and the back . . . 


The pin cushion was made by me from a portion of the Lizzie Kate Halloween Mystery Sampler, part two bonus design. It's stitched on 28ct light orange spice evenweave, with a black/orange backing with a hint of purple. It's filled with crushed walnut shells to keep your pins & needles sharp and clean.  :)


So are you ready to win one of these party packages?!!! 


Here's what you need to do . . .

  • Leave me a comment telling me which package (Quilters or Cross Stitching) that you'd like to win! That's all you have to do!  :)
  • For a Bonus Entry follow my blog and tell me you do in a separate comment! I love my followers! :)

These two giveaways are open internationally. They will remain open until midnight, pacific time, Monday, September 3rd. I will choose a winner on Tuesday, September 4th, with the help of the help of the random number generator. I will email the winner and post it on my blog. If you are a no-reply blogger please post your email in your comment or you will be disqualified. 


Thank you so much for visiting and celebrating my Blogiversary with me! I love having you here!  :)

Lots of luck to you! Please come back soon!  :)

Until next time . . .
