Welcome to............

........ Giveaway day!

Today I am participating in Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day. This will be my first giveaway, so I am excited, and a little nervous too :-) It has been so much fun participating in the giveaways, but I have sometimes wondered if anyone would join me in a giveaway. I'm sure there are lots of giveaways that are handmade, but my giveaway today is something for you to make. So here goes.....

My giveaway consists of 1 1/2 yards of Susan Branch Tea Party fabric, plus 1/2 yard of yellow polka dot and a fat quarter of white polka dot. With that, I am including 3 yards of blue ric rac. Enough to make a vintage looking apron :-)

Please leave a comment on this post for your name to be put in the drawing. Because I love hearing from all of you, I am also going to include your name a second time if you become a follower and leave a second comment.

That's it! It's simple. I am open to including one and all in this first giveaway. Please be sure to leave a way for me to contact you, either via your blog or email. If I cannot contact the winner, another name will be drawn.

I hope that everyone has a grand time enjoying this Spring Giveaway!

  5. Ah Ha, this is what you mentioned about yesterday LOL. I'm sure there is nothing for you to worry about Jocelyn, it's very early in the morning and you are off to a good start. This will be a popular giveaway :0)

    Crispy - PS: Please don't include me in the drawing as it would require me to use a sewing machine....something I don't do LOL.

Then it's off in the wash and it starts all over again with another one in the morning. I am going to use a pattern that I give away for free in my quilt shop if I win your fabrics!!! It's called Fresh from Mother's Cupboard. I think I'll start one tomorrow. Check out my progress at drivingmissstacey(at)blogspot(dot)com
