{Sew Mama Sew} Giveaway Day!

Comments are now closed. Thanks to all who participated. Our winner is comment #102, Kate!


It's Giveaway Day over at Sew Mama Sew, and this is my first year participating! I would like to welcome anyone visiting my blog for the first time....I hope you'll stay a while!

** Before commenting, PLEASE remember that you must include an email address either directly in your comment OR accessible through your profile. I have had many many comments that did not include an address, therefore are not valid entries. No email address = no entry. Thank you! **

Up for grabs today is a set of two handmade-by-me potholders, made using Hometown fabric, by Sweetwater for Moda. These are very thick, with two layers of Insul-Bright heat resistant batting, so they would also make great pads for placing hot dishes on the dinner table.

In order to enter the giveaway, all I ask you to do is leave one comment telling me what sewing machine you use, just because I want to know. :)

Comments will close on December 16th at 5pm (PST), and I will use a random number generator to choose the winner. I will notify the winner by email so please be sure that an email address is in your comment OR is accessible through your profile.

International entries welcome. Good luck!

Such pretty potholders; count me in!

I'm a brand new quilter and just bought a Brother SE-400. I'm still watching the instructional DVD and so haven't actually set it up yet. (I'm a wee bit nervous! LOL)

Hugs,
Pam

Thanks for the giveaway + merry Xmas!

Sarita said...

Boy, I always make pot holders for gifts, and so I get tired of them and never make any for myself. I'd love these gorgeous ones you made! :)
Right now I'm sewing on one of those dinky plastic things called the Euro-Pro. I have an awesome antique Singer, but I can't set it up until I can collect its cabinet.
Thanks for the opportunity to win ~

I've got a Singer that is always wanting to start fights. Whenever possible I desert it for my mom's Husqvarna. Maybe it'll learn it's lesson if I don't dignify it with a model number.

Tammy said...

Your profile sounds just like mine lol!!! My machine is an ancient Bernina 727. It is a rare flat-bed version of the 730. My Mum bought it 2nd hand in the 1980's and made many a pretty dress for me, including my Holy Communion dress.

tammi said...

I use a Bernina Virtuosa. It was the best Bernina I could afford, and I am pretty happy with it. I also have a Babylock serger which i LOVE and an older basic Babylock machine.

Thanks Heather for your generous giveaway offer. I have an Elna 500 machine that I bought many years ago when making items for a craft shop. It is alsolutely reliable and has just been in use again to make an applique wall hanging for my grandson. I also have my mother's Singer machine and an old treadle machine, but they are both keepsakes.
Happy Christmas to you and yours

I use a basic Brother. I bought it from Overstock one christmas cause I thought I might like to try sewing, but didn't want to invest too much in it in case I hate it. Well, I love it and it's been a couple years so I'm anxious to upgrade my sewing machine after christmas.
