Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!

Winner is Jennifer, comment #5. Announced here. Thank you to all who entered.  It was a lot of fun!


First off, I'd like to say welcome to anyone who may be visiting my blog for the first time!  I hope you will stay and have a look around.  I also have an etsy shop called Winding Bobbins, where I sell some of my handmade items (coupon code TAKE20 will get you 20% off all shop items until the end of 2012).  You are welcome to come there for a visit as well!

Today's giveaway is a huge departure from what I usually tend towards.  Most often I can be found making quilts and other small quilted items.  But I recently learned from a woman at my church how to make infinity scarves, and I'm hooked!  So today I am giving away a handmade infinity scarf made with a lovely voile fabric.  


The scarf has wonderful drape and is soft and comfortable to wear.  The fabric features several different lovely, muted colours - green, blue, orange & gray - along with black on a cream background.


In order to be entered to win this scarf, leave me a comment letting me know what colour thread is currently on your sewing machine!  If you are a no-reply blogger, be sure to leave your email address in your comment so I have a way to contact you if you win.

The giveaway will be open until December 7 at 5pm PST and the winner will be chosen using a random number generator.  I will be happy to ship internationally.

Good luck!

Lovely scarf Heather! I have white thread on my machine - I use it for pretty much all piecing. I know you're meant to use light grey for cool colours, and light tan for warm colours, but I just stick with white for everything!

Tammy said...

I have a slightly off white gutter mans thread ATM, I very rarely use other colours.

Teje Karjalainen said...

I wish I had a better answer than "white" - I'm piecing a quilt that's got a white background. So at least it's a sensible color to use, even if it's not exciting :)

✾Jamie Lee Cooley✾ said...

My answer is white, too! Lovely scarf, thanks for the chance!

Melissa Graham said...

Sad to say it is black. My husband left his climbing tree stand out at our cabin and the mice had a lovely time eating away at the material that covered the seat on it. I had to tear it down and use it for a pattern to make a new cover for it.

My thread is what I call Uncle-Bob's-socks-brown. It's a putrid brown, but a perfect match to the cotton knit tube thingies that I'm making for our furniture legs. We moved into a house with hardwood floors and the booties keep the furniture from sliding.
