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!

Beautiful fabrics.

I've been working on a housewarming quilt for my daughter, but sadly it does not look like I'll finish it for Christmas!

[Ginny Worden]

I have been making gift bags, trivets shaped like a jolly old elf,and blocks for this months exchanges,and some how I still want to do more. Sheesh! Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[Janet Beyea]

I have been making mug rugs for gifts. Yesterday I finished mustache mug rugs for the men in my family. Today, I start work on wine glass rugs for my wine snob friends.

[Kim U.]

I made a wall hanging for my daughter and that's about it for this year. I have numerous "plans" for next year though. Crossed fingers and toes that I follow through on those!

Thank you for the opportunity to win this gorgeous giveaway.

[Dawn Jones]

I plan to make a few more bibs and burp cloths. So many babies are arriving soon. Thank you for your lovely blog.

[Barb]

I've been stitching on the latest Bonnie Hunter Mystery this week. But I do have a bed runner I need to finish for Mom for Christmas. Too many projects, too little time!

[Brenda]

I just finished 2 baby quilts for my new great nieces. LOVE thes fabrics. Merry Christmas

[Anita K]

Well lets see I have several Christmas "WIP" projects in the works, the felt ornaments that were ordered in September are closest to being finished of them all, and the table topper, and lets see the potholders, maybe next Christmas. My eyes twinkled and they were delivered but now it's my turn to finsh up the work.

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to you and your family and all your readers!!!!

[D. Rubio]

Every year I am frantically trying to get quilted gifts finished, but this year I didn't quite get any started.Life just works that way sometimes. As a mother of 3 'crafty' daughters, I may be called upon to help complete some last minute projects. These fabrics are gorgeous and I would love to win them to start something just for me.

Alicia Paulson felt Christmas ornaments and an Oliver + S dress for Emma! Thank you for a beautiful giveaway! :)

[Siobhan]

I feel like such a slug after reading all these comments. Wow! I need to refer to them for inspiration throughout this coming year. I managed to cross stitch one ornament this year, and need one each for my three kids. Instead I'm busy hand quilting (with perle cotton--LOVE) a quilt and planning out my 2014 goals.

[Louise]

Every time I see those sweet little prints I want to drop what I am doing and order some. Then the guilt sets in that I should use up what I already own. Currently I have no time for piecing at the machine, therefore I am enjoying my hand quilting on a queen size whitework. This will be the year I finish! After Christmas I will return to piecing.

[PaulaK]

Finished my small bit of Christmas stitching last weekend - I stitched three little felt stockings to hold gift cards for my brother, his wife and my niece. Felt is so much fun to work with and so quickly finished, especially when you're accustomed to making large quilts! Merry Christmas and thank you for the chance to win those wonderful fabrics!

[Marji]

Fleece blankets and now onto some ornaments, inspired by the tag-along.

[Tiffany]

I JUST finished your S is for Stitch girl quilt!!! I wish I could post a picture! Just in time too, its for my Daughter for Christmas and we leave tomorrow morning!!
Beautiful fabric and Merry Christmas!!!

[Tami Campbell]

These are the sweetest fabrics! Kerri is so very generous. I haven't had much time for sewing this year except for making bunting and garlands as gifts. This fabric would make a sweet bunting:)

[Angela]

Great Giveaway!! I'm working on a messenger bag for my daughter! Hope to have it done for Christmas! Thanks for the chance to win!!

[Debbie]

I finished a quilt for my brother & sister-in-law, it was "Spot On" from the book "Simplify". I also made smaller items such as cushion covers, pot holders and hot pads. Thanks for a chance at the give-away and Merry Christmas to you!

[Lorrie]

A little girl's purse, some felt food, two little dresses, a faux fur cowl scarf, fabric baskets, yoga bolsters...why am I reading blogs when some of these things aren't finished? Lovely giveaway.

[Robbin]

I've made three quilted calendar holders, a table runner, gift card holders, a wall hanging and hope to make my great nephew a pair of baby cowboy boots before the deadline. Thanks for the inspiration!

[Emily C]

I usually make ornaments. This year is no different.

I made a stocking for our favorite waitress at our favorite restaurant. She said she hung it on her Christmas tree.

[Sandie @ crazy'boutquilts]

Oh what beautiful fabrics! I give hubby so many hints through the month that I don't dare order something for myself and spoil his fun. LOL Right now I need to finish up a couple scarves for gifts. My sewing machine has been humming! Thank you for the fun giveaway!

[Karen Natoli]

my new thing this Christmas is fabric fused onto Christmas cards- my Gingerbread men turned out especially cute! Love the new fabrics!

Working on placemats, but their red so I can use them in February too!

Hi! I'm sewing costumes for my daughter's Nutcracker ballet shows right now, but I'm sneaking in a little time for hexagons in navy blues/whites. They might become pillowshams. Luv Kerry at Sew Dearly Loved. Her blog is a favorite of mine too. Ho-ho-ho!

[kade]

I am making ornaments.

[Wren]

I have made pillow cases that will be used for wrapping paper this year.

Oh, I love, love these fabrics, such a pretty choice! I am working on a small quilt. The fabric is Pretty Little Things by Dena Designs. Thanks for the opportunity to win! I love your blog and wish you and your family a Merry Christmas!

[Archiethewonderdog]

What pretty fabric! I've made a wall hanging for my mam (http://flic.kr/p/ikSUEK), a quilt for a friend's new (ish!) baby and a bedding set for my niece - she's getting a pram for Christmas from her grandma (my mam) and I've made a mattress and cover, pillow and case, blanket and quilt for it. It's very cute, if I do say so myself! I hope your Christmas preparations are finished before midnight on Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas!

I made one quilted potholder for my mother today (I lifted the Christmas tree off my sewing machine) and plan on making one more, although I'm not sure I'll get round to it. And that's all I'm afraid, I always have far more ideas than I can ever realize...

[Cheryl]

I am just finishing up a table runner for my Mother-in-Law, only my second quilty project ever. It's going well, with just a few difficulties with the mitered corners :)

I am working on a quilt for my first grandchild. It isn't due until March but the shower for Mom is February first and while it really isn't a Christmas present, it's pretty exciting for us first time grandparents! Merry Christmas and thanks for the opportunity to win some beautiful fabric.

[Edie]

I'm working on mug mats for my extended family... of course they are in various stages of "doneness"... but if I don't get to them soon they will end up next years gifts LOL!
