winner

The winner of the giveaway for September is Melissa. I will get the bibs and bag in the mail to you soon.

National Sewing Month

September is National Sewing Month. To commemorate this, I am giving away the two baby bibs above and the bag shown below. The baby bibs are quilted and washable, the bag is made of cotton fabric and is machine washable as well. The bibs and bags are both things I make for gifts because they go together fairly quickly and are functional. If you want a chance to win, leave a comment on any of my posts from this month. A winner will be chosen sometime after school on September 30. One entry per post, and like my last giveaway, open to people I know. If you won something on my blog already this year, you are not eligible for this one.

ocean breeze tumbler quilt

The ocean breeze tumbler quilt is what I gave my sister for her birthday. The idea for the name came from my friend Jill, but when she mentioned the words ocean breeze, it seemed to fit well. Maybe she and I should quit our jobs and work for a paint company naming colors.

winner

Anita is the winner of the giveaway. I counted comments on all the posts for July and August and then used the random number generator. Fitting, as it is her birthday tomorrow. Thanks for all of you who commented...I'll have another giveaway in the next month or two.

back to school giveaway

I am having a back to school giveaway! You can win the above items-two birthday cards, two blank books, and the book Frederick by Leo Lionni. The blank books and cards were made by me. You are eligible to win if you live in the United States and I know you. For each comment you make on one of my July or August posts you will be entered once in the drawing. I will pick a winner sometime after work on Thursday, September 1. How is the back to school season treating you?

cards

Here are a few cards I made recently. My friend sent me the stickers for my birthday, and with a little bit of ribbon, cardstock, and adhesive I put these together. My favorite is the red one in the lower right corner. Do you have a favorite?
