And best of all, a GIVEAWAY too! ***THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED***
As part of Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day, I'm hosting my very first giveaway. And since very few people follow this blog, you're odds are really, REALLY good!
First up, I have a pack of 10 vintage/thrifted sheet fat quarters. Ten! All ten are different prints and come freshly laundered from my smoke-free, pet-free home. Unless you count fishes. So I hope no one has a problem with goldfish.
And now for the something new.... here are my recently completed Amy Butler potholders/hotpads. They're on the large-ish side for potholders so I was planning on using them more as hotpads, but I became a little obsessed and have, like ... LOTS of new ones now. Besides, I have enough of these fabrics to make two more if I miss them terribly.
And here's a pic of the back so you can see the pattern the wonky stitching made. Kinda groovy.
So, that's what I'm sending out into the world. I hope you like it!
The nitty-gritty:
This giveaway is open to US residents only.
Leave me a comment and let me know if you like the something old (fat quarters) or the something new (potholder/hotpads) and I'll choose two winners at random. If you like both then just leave two comments! Be sure to leave me with a way to get in touch with you for a shipping address.
This giveaway will remain open until May 20. The items will be shipped on or before May 24.
Good luck and check out all the other amazingly creative people participating in the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day. Happy crafting!
Good job doing the giveaway! Be prepare for a lot of visitors! :-) And if I win, I'd love the 'something new', because those potholders are totally cute!

I love that yellow sheet and the pot holders! Thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHere is my second comment since I like both!
ReplyDeletelove the sheets. I love the idea of vintage sheets but can't find any good vintage places around here. Hope you get some more traffic here. Even if not, putting your thoughts out there is always worth it. Feel free to check out my giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have WAY more potholders than I need right now, thanks to the PMQG swap and an online swap I also participated in.. but the vintage sheets look very cute!
ReplyDeleteOh Megs get ready for an onslaught of comments! I would like to be entered...
ReplyDeletefor the fabric
and for the potholders!
ReplyDeleteWow! I can't believe how our tastes change..like suddenly loving purple and green, like the pattern on our Melmac dishes when I was growing up (hated it then!).
ReplyDeleteAnd those sheets...hated them back then..but LOVE them now.
If I am reading your giveaway post correctly, if I want to win either prize, post again? I love those potholders! and the wonky stitching is the best.
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics - but the potholders are my favorite!
ReplyDeleteWow! I would absolutely adore the fabrics. I love, beyond love, them.

ReplyDeleteshelly.potter(at)hotmail(dot)com
something old please.
ReplyDeleteHi! I like the old and new - so my first comment is - the vintage fabric is beautiful. I just found some 45-50 year old tablecloths in my mother's basement. Kind of bittersweet - she has Alzheimer's so we're cleaning some stuff out of the house. But I'm getting pretty interested in re-purposing the old into something new.
ReplyDeleteMy second comment - the potholders are great! When I make them they seem to turn out to narrow, too thin or too thick. Your's look just right.
ReplyDeletefabulous! I would love the vintage goodies :) THanks for the chance to win :)
