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 am working on finishing quilts for my best friends! I'm making the same quilt pattern, a simple chevron out of HSTs, but in a random collection of fabrics in their respective favorite colors. I immediately was obsessed with this idea when I thought of it. Need to step on ot though. (Insert wide eyed emoji here.)

[Jenny]

I've only made some gifts with my children this year. Next year I am going to start making my gifts in January! Fingers crossed the giveaway is open internationally :)

[Carrie L]

I did not manage any Christmas sewing this year. I did crochet a scarf, though! Thanks for the chance to win this pretty, pretty fabric!

[Lara S.]

I am not doing any sewing projects but I am making a sewing kit for my sister-in-law who is getting into sewing. It'll be a fun Christmas gift to give!

[montse perez]

I'm finishing a quilt for my mother.
Terrific giveaway, thanks for the chance to win!

[Barb C in WA]

Haven't made it to the sewing room to make those new pillowcases yet...was busy finishing up a crocheted scarf for my new DIL. Next on the list is napkins from some awesome cotton/linen, then the pillowcases. Guess I'd better get busy :)

[Rhonda]

Love these fabrics! We made pillowcases for the nieces and nephews with their names embroidered on the borders.

[Shirley Ann]

I am making a Mug Rug to give to a dear friend. Thank you for the wonderful a giveaway.

[Lisa E]

I'm making my husband a fleece throw. Should be done pretty soon!

[Luba]

I am trying to finish a table runner that I hope I won't be binding Christmas Eve. I'd love to win
those pretties please.
Love those fabrics and Sew Deerly. Thank You

[Kym]

So far behind it's not funny! Finishing a Quilt for my nieces birthday - back in June, but it doesn't look like it will be finished for Chrissy either! A zip pouch for my Nana I definitely must finish!

[beth p]

My only sewing projects for this year are mug rugs for stocking-stuffers. But I have big plans for after Christmas!

[Denise Cabral]

This year I am not making anything for Christmas presents. I am making a quilt for my first granddaughter!

[Amy]

I love both your blog and also Sew Deerly Loved! For Christmas this year, I am helping my 8 year old daughter make pillow cases for our family...at the rate we're going, they may be New Year's gifts instead!

[Susan]

I just finished a table runner, now I need to quilt and bind a table topper for my mother and then I need to BEGIN and FINISH a bag for my mother-in-law! Wish me well! Thanks for the chance to win this sweet bundle!

[Carla]

Ohhh... soo love this bundle!! I'm currently working on 5 wide mouth pouches for Christmas gifts!! :) I've made a TONNE this year for others Christmas orders and am just starting mine now! eek! loL!!

[Heartsdesire]

Gorgeous, gorgeous fabric. So delicate and vintage looking. I made pincushions for the women in my family, and also made some small cross stitch Santas to hang on the presents.

[Jacquelyn Durant]

Wow!! I feel like an under achiever after reading some of the comments. I've done 15 pot holders. I'm working on 2 stockings and a tree skirt. I wanted to do some little embrodery hoop decs but I'm definitely not getting to those in 2013!!

Thanks for the give away!

[Lea Anne]

What a lovely bunch of fabric you bought for Christmas. I'm not stitching for Christmas. Instead I'm giving homemade jams, relishes, pickles and Jerky. Thanks for a chance to win!

[Ellen Elmore]

I am still madly trying to finish some pouches for the nieces plus a quilt for the g-grandson. Would love to have this cute fabric bundle. Thanks for the opportunity!

[Miss Nancy]

Thank you for this great giveaway for such adorable fabric. Just love it. I have made a small quilt for a four year old, some pouches, and some pillowcases. Had great fun doing the sewing.

Have a super great sewing and stitching day and a very Merry Christmas!

[Colette]

I am doing unsewing of a Christmas quilt which I started to make in 1998. I realized that I was quilting it incorrectly so am currently tearing it out to make it correctly.

[Martha]

Oh my goodness I love those japanese fabrics she carries! Oh don't tell me she has a sale. I might not be able to resist. Ive been doing a lot of sewing but mostly for customers. Right now a baby quilt is on the frame for a grandmother to give to her daughter who is expecting in a couple months.. got to be ready by christmas.

[Evelyn Barnes]

Beautiful Fabric! I have just completed my Christmas sewing this afternoon. Four stockings with Names embroidered DONE!

[LeAnne]

I always have high hopes for more Christmas sewing and handmade gifts and can't quite do them all. But this year I made a Mr. Potato Head quiet book I saw on Pinterest for my granddaughter. It was really fun to make!

[Judie (Julia)]

I'm working on a quilt for my Grandson. He knows it will be after the first of the year before he gets it but he has already seen it laid out and loves it. I made it out of fabrics that I had left over from the shirts I made him when he was in grade school.

[Elizabeth Smith]

Beautiful fabrics, would love to win. Right now I am in the middle of a Christmas quilt for my daughter and future son-in-law. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[Joyce Carter]

I have been hand quilting some tops that I had made during the Summer. Now I need to make some zipper pouches.

[robin]

Lovely fabrics! Christmas seens to cone 'round faster every year. I always seem to be in the same spot this week before THE BIG DAY. That means I'm feverishle trying to finish just one last project! This year its a quilt for neice who will soon be off to college.

[Debra Komar]

I love these prints!! My Christmas sewing has been all about making a baby quilt for my oldest daughter's friend. All I really want to do is make a baby quilt for MY daughter who has been married for 3 years. Someday maybe when she's good and ready. LOL! Maybe winning these gorgeous fabrics would inspire her to get to work on making me a grandbaby!!

[Drea]

I love sewdeerly loved!! Such beautiful fabric to choose from. I just finished 8 Christmas placemats for my mum and added more for the grand kids including a matching bib for her unborn grand daughter too, think that surprise will make her cry. Finally finished my kids Christmas bedding! They can still sleep in it till New Years right?! Also making a Christmas blanket and tonight some fun grinch placemats as gifts. I need to start in January next year!!
Thanks so much for the giveaway and merry Christmas!

[Kris Van Allen]

I made reusable produce bags this year!

[barbara woods]

I am working on three quilts but am on the last one now. Thanks

[Sharon]

This year I raided my fat quarter stash and made bright and cheery pocket tissue covers.

[Lynn]

I have a quilt to finish and am making many Totes with "Downton Abbey" fabric!

[Janet]

I did a quick tablerunner for a secret sister exchange at church. Finished minutes before the party!

[Lauren]

What a gorgeous collection of fabrics! Thanks so much for the chance to win some. I have been hand stitching lots of felt for Christmas; ornaments, softies, and pin cushions. I'm also hoping to make my daughter a new Christmas sun dress. Christmas day is HOT here in Oz! I've only recently found your blog and I absolutely adore it. Thanks for the inspiration!

[Terry]

I finished three tote bags, five infinity Minky scarves, hot pads, mug rugs, napkins and gift bags.
Thanks for the sweet giveaway and best wishes for a very Merry Christmas!

[Mary Deckert]

A Christmas quilt! I'm always inspired by seasonal quilts when I see them displayed, and of course, I have no chance of finishing it by the actual holiday. It finally occurred to me there's a reason Christmas fabric debuts in April!

[Alexis]

I made my twin sons matching pjs. And I'm working on some giftee bags and a skirt for myself.

[Lyn]

I am trying to finish a quilt for my brother-in-law and his wife who got married in September!

[Linda Halcomb]

I've been making Christmas ornaments, pot holders & bookmarks for Christmas gifts. Tomorrow is delivery day for my gifts so I would LOVE to have this fabric bundle to start a new project just for me! Love all the fabric in the projects you post. Sweet, sweet

[Karen in Breezy Point]

Those fabrics are adorable! The only sewing for Christmas that I have done this year was the Temecula Quilt shop's Countdown to Christmas--I may even get it quilted before Christmas!

[Linda]

I don't quilt; however, I think this fabric would make beautiful napkins. Thanks for the chance to win.

[Pam C]

This is some of the prettiest fabric. I made some Christmas stockings, doggie coats, a small quilt and I am working on a bag/purse and a mystery quilt.

[Andrea]

I have to machine quilt a quilt yet, label and mail another one, plus I want to make some stitched Christmas cards - yikes, I had better get cracking!

[Margaret Parks]

I am working on some place mats and hope to finish by the weekend, but if not, well they will go in my box of Christmas gifts for next Christmas, not going to stress out over it.
Have a beautiful Christmas and a healthy happy New zyear.
cheers
maggie

[Lisa]

I just finished a ghostbusters quilt for my daughters friend, four baby quilts and I have to finish the binding on the last of six quilts for the girls at work. Whew!!

[beth f.]

I made my husband a t-shirt quilt that I just wrapped up today! I am also making some cute zippered pouches. This fabric is lovely

[Jocelyn]

What a generous, lovely giveaway! I'm working on a Christmas quilt to practice fmq. It may not be done I. Time for Christmas but I'm enjoying the process.
