sew deerly giveaway

Well hello!  How is your week going so far?  Are you ready for Christmas?  I'm not.  But then again I never am.  And yet Christmas still comes anyway and things always work out. :)

I've been doing a little pre-xmas shopping for myself ...

These pretties came in the mail yesterday.  When I emailed my friend Kerri at Sew Deerly Loved to tell her the fabric had arrived and how much I love it, she offered to do a giveaway for you, my dear readers!  I'm very excited for one of you to win this bundle of sweet Japanese fabrics. :)

To enter this fabulous giveaway to win 14 FQs of Atsuko Matsuyama's latest fabrics, simply leave me a comment saying what Christmas sewing (if any) you are doing, already did or plan to do (no one will know if you don't get to it!).

Comments close Sunday Dec 22nd and I'll announce the winner on Tuesday Dec 24th. 

Oh, and one more thing ... everything over at Sew Deerly Loved is 20% off right now so if you're looking for a gift for someone (like maybe yourself, possibly?) check out her shop.  I never leave empty-handed!

I just finished one tote bag and still have two more to do! Next year I will not procrastinate :0)

[Maryann]

Just finished a memory quilt for my mom who is 85. Did a variety of blocks and applique blocks, set them on point. It just tells their story of her and dads life through the years. She is going to love it.

[Kirsten]

I need to sew a baby quilt cause my daughter is due at the beginning of January. I have the fabric all cut out……. I just need to sit down and start sewing.

[dorothy]

i'm just about to head out to Joann's to get some felt--am making fabric christmas ornaments with selvedges. beautiful fabrics!

[Jamie]

I'm working on finishing up about 5 quilts for family members as Christmas gifts. Got in way over my head!

[jo]

I have one set of fender covers, a pair of pj's and 4 pillowcases and I am finished

[Sarah from mila+cuatro]

I have a Christmas lap quilt that is threatening to be left til next year, some superhero capes for nieces and nephews which are cut but not sewn and a bag for myself half made. The bag will get done first. Awesome giveaway!

[Kathy]

I am making Lori Holt's Bee Block to go with a honey dispenser that is in the shape of a bee hive. The blocks are being turned into square table toppers. All my presents this year are going into quick sew fabric bags rather than paper gift wrap. Having a blast sewing this holiday season. Off to Sew Deerly Loved to see what I can't live without.
Love your gift tags, may have to find time for them also.

I just finished 30 reversible tote bags to give as gifts to the supporters of a small ministry my hubby and I have. I also finished a pouch for my best friend and am working on two pairs of jammie bottoms for my daughter. I need to make a journal cover for my granddaughter and a pen roll, yet. I planned on making a new work tote for my daughter, but it will have to wait. This giveaway is lovely.

[Kim S]

I would like to make some small pouches. Hope I have the time to get them done.

[LisaD]

I am frantically working to finish all the quilts I have started as gifts. I have completed three, pieced the tops on 2 more that now need to be sandwiched, quilted and bound. I have one more in progress that is about 20% done with quilting. I made superhero caps for all the little great nieces and nephews this year and pillowcases for all the big kids. It's been a busy few months since I always find myself starting in November instead of earlier in the year.

[Jen]

Just finishing up some doll clothes for my daughters for Christmas

[Nicole]

I have finished a lap quilt for my MIL and a tree skirt (but it's square so I'm calling it tree pants). To be finished: pjs, in sizes 2, 6 and adult L. Adult L nightshirt. My own quilt, which is an ugly christmas sweater quilt. And six placemats. Looking good so far!

[Rose]

I'm making a few bags for Christmas presents. I'd love to win this fabric. Thank you for the giveaway.

[Ruth]

I am stitching on the binding of my daughter's quilt, and I have cut the pieces for a Christmas table runner. I've made two pillow covers, one pillowcase and three ptholders so far as gifts, we'll see what else time allows.

[Jessica P.]

I am currently working on pajamas for my sisters. They are very tall and find it difficult to get pants that don't shrink too much on them. I am also doing placemats for my mom. Wonderful giveaway.

[Lori Morton]

Oooooh....am furiously working to finish up two D9P Throws...large sized...by Christmas!!! Progressing fairly well tho! :)

[Michle Machala]

I am working now stocking for my newest grandson.

[fitri]

I just finished the granny square quilt yesterday, its a big relief that I finished several days before winter break coming - since I love to send that quilt for my daughter second grade teacher. It's kind of tradition for me that every year I make 1 quilt for Christmas present for teacher..

[Carol C.]

I am making some quilted potholders, with matching kitchen towels, and crocheting some dish cloths to go with -- almost done! The fabrics are so beautiful!!

[Ali]

I'm hoping to start a table runner for Christmas day, and finish some giant beanie kids for my littlest two...wish me luck!

[Susie]

I am about to start a christmas tablerunner as a gift and a thank you. Mostly thanking her for looking after my children last Thursday so I could spend the last hour ever with my Dad. He sadly passed the next day. I'm so grateful I was able to spend this time with him that I think making something by hand will help her realise how much it meant to me.

[Piroska]

I've done some sewing for my grand-daughter (a couple of dresses), and some ornaments.

[Jodi]

My daughter and I are making a mustache christmas tree mug rug for her teacher. I am finishing a quilt for my niece and some hexagon trivets from patchwork please for some coworkers.

[Denise]

I am making pouches (Lazy Girl Designs) and filling them with really good chocolate.

[Chris]

I did a picture pillow for my parents and also some felt barretts for my nieces. They are shipped out so now I am looking for new projects and I'd love to play with that beautiful fabric!

[Roseanna Jakubowski]

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the Atsuko Matsuyama fabrics. Thank you for the chance to win. I was just putting the finishing touches on a couple of embroidered pin cushions.

[Debra Neiman]

Finishing up three small projects tomorrow, then start making my pin cushions.... so many patterns so little fabric. Merry Christmas from Oklahoma, USA. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com

[jenni]

Oh my goodness I squealed! Best Christmas give away ever! I made fancy tages that did not involved sewing. I am not sewing! Crazy! I am really going for a low-key Christmas this year!

[Laura]

I am a new quilter (wannabe) so my quilting won't start until Christmas. I may, or may not, know that hubby has some quilting goodies under the tree with my name on them! ;). I'm dying to get started!

[Jane]

I am working on an Elm Creek Christmas quilt but I guess it will be for next year!

[Kristi]

I made a few crayon aprons and a stuffed animal. I think that's going to be it, but you never know, I might sneak something in at the last minute! I do still have to finish sewing together a stocking ...

[Mikhaila]

This year, I whipped up a bunch of cute little coin purses for some adorable young ladies at my church. Thank you very much for the Atsuko Matsuyama fabric giveaway. It is my favorite. Merry Christmas!

[Lynette Root]

My brother and sister in law are expecting their first baby any day now, so I made my new nephew his Christmas stocking! I got the okay from his parents and finished everything but the name! I will hand embroider that on after he is born! So excited to meet him!

[Lisa McGriff]

I have made a throw size quilt for my brother in law, two 22" pillows for my sister, and I need to make an infinity scarf for my daughter....

[Angelia L.]

I haven't been working on very much because my machine was in the shop for a spa treatment. To pass the time I have been working on some cross stitch....I love your holiday tags. I was hoping to get my machine back in time to make a few small gifts but I don't think that is going to happen now. I do plan on starting my first throw size quilt after the holidays. Beautiful Japanese fabrics! Thank you for sharing!

[Jan]

I am making a quilt for my daughter for Christmas. I love the fabrics.

[Barbara]

I would like to sew a Christmas pillow, but if I take a look to the calendar I'm scared..I'm late!
Buon Natale!

[Denise]

Lovely fabric...I know just what I'll make. I've been sewing some holiday candle mats for friends.

[Freda George]

Working on Christmas ornaments for s swap with my sewing group....Such fun...Merry Christmas...

[Elaine]

Such adorable fabrics! I made a patchwork stocking and fabric tree. Can't wait to start a new quilt for the new year!

[Lynn Mc]

I gave one completed quilt to one my autistic son's caregivers last night. I am on the home straight in FMQ ing a second one for one of the others. I don't know why I have left them until the last minute as Christmas is on the same day every year, and I have plenty of warning that it is approaching.

[Kevin]

It seems to be very interesting but yet i don't try this but now i have some idea about that so going to start make something which is very unique and creativity.
Thanks Kristyne for giving me wonderful idea on Christmas.

[Kristy]

I am finishing up the last of the 12 trees I made from Amanda Murphy's Modern Holidays book. I made mine the size that is in the book so they are smaller than she has in the picture but they are sweet! I am also helping my 10 year old daughter with a tumbling charms quilt she is making for her brother. It has flannel squares from pajamas made by grandma and regular quilting cotton for the sashings between. We are almost done with sewing the blocks, then I get to cut them apart (100 of them!) and we will sew them all together. I guess then comes the quilting. It should be really cute when it is done. Thanks for the beautiful fabric giveaway. K-

[Tracey S.]

Great fabric!! I am actually doing a little Christmas sewing. My little girl just turned 1 and I made her a quilt for her dolly bed. You double inspired me on this one because I had 2 'first's' on it. I EPP hexagons for the whole thing and then I put in 1 plain white hexagon and embroidered an 'S' for Sarah on it. It turned out adorable!! Thanks for the inspiration! How is your hex quilt coming? it is sooooo beautiful.

[Eva]

I am making an Art Tote for la friend's little boy who's birthday is on Christmas Eve. I am using a vintage recycled Postman Pat Fabric, as he loves Postman Pat.
I also have a few handbags to make, but not sure if I will get them finished on time- may turn out being totes.

Thank you for the chance to win these fabrics, they are so cute. I have just discovered sew dearly and I am hooked. this is where i will be spending my Christmas gift money.

Love your blog.

[Kate]

Making sweet little personalized ornaments, shaped like gift tags. Thanks for the templates and inspiration.

[Just Sew Sue]

I finished the Deckade the Halls quilt from Fat Quarters Shop in plenty of time for Christmas but I think the tree skirt and cushion that are in progress will have to wait for 2104 as I still have two client quilts to quilt.

[Teje Karjalainen]

Hi! Your NEW Fabrics are so beautiful! Thank you for a fantastic give away! I'm making still one pillow and Mini quilt and want to make some Paper pieced letters. x Teje
