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'm making slippers for a friend's baby girl :-) not a huge project, but nice to have something completed in a few days instead of a few months... Merry Christmas!!

[Hildy]

I still need to sew a quilt for my mum ... and I didn't even start it yet, yikeees! But then maybe she's happy with some new potholders? And I need to sew some tags. But there's still time left, right?
I love Kerri's shop and her fabrics, so beautiful!

[Em]

Your fabric is adorable! I am about to start my first quilt. Scary stuff!! Hand pieced squares so hopefully not too hard :)

[Cornelia]

oh those are so cute, thanks for this chance

right now I finished 2 babyquilts for my kids for christmas,
a cushion for my mom, hopefully a second one soon too
and a table runner for my aunt (already gifted)

[nat]

these fabrics are so pretty. i love sew deerly loved. i'm finishing up a pretty foundation paper pieced pillow for my daughter. i have a quilt on the go for her too but that is going to take me longer than one week to finish so that's no longer for christmas

[Karen]

Great giveaway! Thank you. I have stitched up 25 zippered pouches. They little ones with a swivel clasp. So far everyone has said they have liked them. I have also made pillowcases for my son's friends. I would like to make 2 more things - table runners. Not sure if I am being too ambitious.

[Katherine (milkandrain)]

Gorgeous fabric! Thank you for the giveaway.

I am making casserole dish carriers, oven mitts and tea towels for my girls' play kitchen (which my dad is making for them) and Christmas dresses for them to wear on Christmas Day.

[Yvonne @ Nellies Niceties]

Lovely giveaway. We just moved house so not much real sewing going on here! But I have been sewing and stuffing little heart tree ornaments in the evening. Happy Christmas to you and your loved ones.

[Kate]

Tomorrow it's going to be 40 Celsius (104 Fahrenheit!) in Melbourne. I have the champagne cooling in the fridge for our sewing group tomorrow night - plus cherries & strawberries and a little piece of Christmas cake. And lots of little Christmas hexies which are almost finished for the Christmas tree! Thank you for your lovely blog and the giveaway. And a very Merry Christmas from hot Australia!

[vcludiker]

I have just recently purchased fabric for a Christmas quilt…..maybe will be done by next year….

[Sue]

I have been sewing some aprons and ornaments for Christmas and fleece baby hats for charity. Thanks for the fun giveaway.

Over the Christmas break I plan to baste and sew hexagons for the first time. I am making a cushion cover with 30s repro fabric so wish me luck!

[Phaye]

This year I made some mug rugs to give and fourteen hexie pincushions for some very special people. Thanks for the give away

[Betsy]

I am still working on my midnight at the oasis quilt.

[Irene]

Hi! Thanks for the giveaway, such a pretty bundle of fabrics! I love all the fabrics that Kerri has on etsy! This year I've sewn a lot of project but my favourite is a family of reindeer I made from a pattern by Anne Pia Godske Rasmussen. I'm now paper piecing a snowflake, a pattern that I found at craftsy for free and that has become my first pp project. Thanks again!

[cheryl]

I am making a quilt out of fabric my husband bought me for christmas 3yrs? ago. really not my style of fabric, but God love him, he picked it out himself so I finally am making something out of it. And you know, it actually looks ok!

[Joyce Mitchell]

I planned to make Christmas table toppers for my co-workers to give out tonight at our Christmas dinner. Got all the tops made (7 + 1 spare), but last night I realized that I wasn't going to get all the quilting & binding done in time. But I'm way ahead now for next Christmas. Thanks for the chance to win.

[Wendy W.]

I made gift bags with tags, tree decorations & gloves (knitted) for my friends and a tea cosy for my Mum and some bunting for my sewing room. I have just found out that a friend has just had a baby girl so I am going to make her some bibs for Christmas though I will have to be quick about it in order to get them to her in time for Christmas. I was going to make myself a table topper but the bibs will have to be first on the list.

Thank you for the lovely giveaway chance and a very Merry Christmas to everyone.

[Ronda]

I have made a quilt embroidered 2 school emblems and one scarf! I have been a busy little girl this year! Merry Christmas and thanks for the opportunity to win the new fabric line!

[:Patty]

I made a stocking for my daughter.....now she has one to match the rest of the family!

[wendy]

what a gorgeous bundle. I didn't do any christmas sewing this year as I've been ill. I do have a few blackwork tree ornaments that I'd like to get made up... in the next week!

[Carol]

I have been making little toddller purses for two little girls, and some dolls. Love Sew Deerly loved. Such a great shop and wonderful fabrics! Happy Holidays!

[Mia S.]

I am trying to find just the right fabrics to start my daughter's wedding quilt. She was married in September, with all the guests signing a muslin patch. I need a Muse!! I'd like to make some bookmarks as gifts and I made a drawstring bag. I've been trying to use my Singer featherweight as much as possible...I named her Eleanor cuz she was born in 1947 :) Thank you and Sew Deerly Loved for these lovely fabrics!

[Jacqueline Strand]

I am always have 2 weeks with pay at Christmas so I always plan way more than I can finish. I will be working on hand quilting the last block of a wedding quilt I started a few years ago. I am also working on crochet hexies for an on-going afghan. I have to finish a Sabbath tablecloth for my daughter-in-law's birthday before the 21st and also some new curtains for my pantry.

I am sure I will play with a few other projects in between as my sewing room is always filled with unfinished projects. Winning this fabric would just be wonderful.

My latest Christmas sewing is making a tree skirt for my son. His ex-girlfriend left behind a skirt splattered with glitter that he just hates! No room for hate at Christmas and no need for constant reminders of a past girlfriend, I say! So, I am making something new and filled with love for him and his tree.

[Marcia]

Oh I so love the little deer fabric. I am making little stuffed critters this year. I have a deer story for you. I had the heartbreaking experience of having to put down a much loved dog. A couple days later, on the way to work, I hit a deer. All those emotions came flooding back and I was a crying mess. I promptly called the police to report the car/deer accident and told them I didn't want to kill anything else. Shocked, the police officer questioned MAME? not knowing I was referring to animals. I told him I just hit a deer and just had to put down my dog so I don't want to kill any more. He was very kind and understanding now that he understood we were not discussing a case serial murder. LOL

[Teresa]

I always make my quilting friends something homemade. My most favorite thing to make every year are pjs for my two grandchildren who are 4 & 6. Next year I get to add a new grandson to the mix!

[Lee]

I have a cat quilt I am making for my niece... hopeful it will get done! I adore the fabrics in Kerris shop! I love those sweet deer! thank you!

[Susie Sunshine]

I need to put the binding on the lap quilt I'm making for my grandma who has Alzheimer's and is in assisted living. I'm very new to quilting and it's a sobering honor to make something like this for the matriarch of the family.
I'm also making monster themed rag quilts for my nephews to go along with some monster themed books to try and encourage them to read. (They are 5.)

[Shirley]

I made my nephew and his new wife a Christmas ornament and have started a million other things that of course won't get done! Great giveaway. I love shopping at her store.

[Susan]

I am in the middle of sewing 3 love heart door hangers for my friends 3 daughters. Thanks!

[Jessie @ MessyJesse]

oh those fabrics are just :O ah-maz-ING!! I have just finished up some EPP Christmas stockings :) next up is my handmade Christmas gifts, yeh I love working under pressure!?! >.<
Jessie, xo

[Dee]

I've been working on a sweet Christmas Mice embroidery for three years on and off. It won't be finished this year either. This year I'm working to finish a cot quilt for a baby friend of mine before he moves on to a full size bed :-) Those are lovely fabrics and what a tempting website!

[Kristy]

Kerri at Sew Dearly Loved has a darling little shop! Anyway I made doll quilts for both of my girls, and one for my granddaughter. Wish I could put a pix in here so you could see them. Anyway I am working on one for me today. I would be thrilled with the fabric. Merry Christmas Krystine! PS. I looked for you on Instagram...and didn't find you. Are you not on there?

[Mary F]

I made several styles of baby bibs, cloth books and am making cloth bags for friends…working down to the wire!!

[kim]

How sweet of you and Kerri (I love her shop!) to have such a beautiful giveaway!! This year I'm creating dolls and softies. My inner child is having so much fun! There is a Clara doll, (from the Nutcracker Suite), a couple of tiny felt dolls-Ragamuffin and Harry Potter, two Tilda Angels, then a Christmas Mouse and Bear, oh and a felt Christmas rabbit too!! These fabrics would make wonderful dresses for my dolls, and also my hexie addiction LOL!! Thank you and have a Very Merry Christmas xx's

[jenny]

thank you so much! these are the most gorgeous fabrics ive ever seen!
ive been sewing boxed zipper bags. my first zippers! i just went for it and now I cant stop...

[Emily]

I was going to make a quilt with snowman fabric for my Mother this year, but since we just moved life has been crazy and I just didn't get to start it in time. So I'm *definitely* planning to have it finished for her next year.
I was also going to do some embroidering but, like I said, life has been crazy and this year just wasn't the one for handmade gifts. Oh well.
I sort of feel bad for entering another giveaway on your blog, so if I DO win (by crazy chance) I plan to give this fabric to a friend as a gift.

[Maria Silva]

Hello,

I am sewing one bag, one triangle coin purse and a pair of potholders...and I would love to make a quilt for my daughter with those lovelies Atsuko Matsuyama fabrics!

[Bethany D]

I love Sew Deerly Loved - my first purchase was back in 2010, I still remember the fabric, though unfortunately it is in a half assembled WIP quilt in a basket somewhere.. whoops!

My Christmas sewing is so limited this year. My sister's baby shower is a week and a half after Christmas, so all my sewing has been going towards the shower! Table runners, banners, I'm all sortsa busy.

Thanks for the giveaway!

[Colette W.]

I am sewing ten little pouches for my Girl Scout. Party is tomorrow evening. I have 1 done and the rest in various stages! Wish me luck. Looks like a late night of sewing for me.

[Rachel]

I need to make a stocking for my daughter as this is her first Xmas and a playmat for my sons animal set he is getting from Santa!

[Jocelyn]

I have been working on two quilts for Christmas gifts. I've finished one, all but the binding, and the other is on my sewing machine being quilted. Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

[Ania]

I made a super cozy minky blanket for my girl and I hope to finish a big quilt for my mom. Couple of tags are also waiting to be finished off and used with gifts. I just love them :-)

[michelle]

I haven't been sewing much but I have been crocheting an afghan for my parents for Christmas.

[Lisa Chavez]

Next on my Christmas sewing list is to finish a cross stitch that I started, oh, about 15 years ago. I just love the Atsuko Matsuyama fabric! What a treat that would be...thank you both for the chance to win!

[Malerie]

I've made a winter doggy coat, stockings, knitted mittens, knitted girls' legwarmers, sewn lavender and ceder sachets, and sewn a set of 3 pillow covers for Hannukah!

[Anne]

Christmas dishtowels, they are cut & ironed, just need to sew the hems!

I made yoga mat bags for all the ladies in the family and still need to make a few colored pencil rolls. Need. More. Time.

Merry Christmas Sweet Kristyne -- and thanks for the beautiful giveaway!
