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. :)

Japanese, ATSUKO MATSUYAMA, 30's Collection, Fat Quarter Bundle of 14

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!

Every year I make some kind of decorations but this year was short of time and I really didn't need anything so I made a stuffed bunting Christmas tree for my friend and also a makeup bag for her daughter.
Thanks for the chance to win, these fabrics are beautiful

I finished the top of my 5 year old granddaughter's quilt out of Riley Blake Little Red Riding Hood fabric line. I have vowed to make her one every year until she turns 18. At that time I hope to have a quilt made out of her drawings from age 18 months old that I will embroidery and make into quilt blocks! I'm sure this fabric would make a fabulous quilt for Christmas 2014!

I am proud to be almost done with my Christmas sewing! I have made my daughter a pink chevron quilt with minky on the back, my mother and MIL mini quilt hangings, my SIL a postage stamp table topper, and my niece and nephew 24 inch quilted pillows. I've never done so much sewing for Christmas and have loved every minute of it!

Well sewing has been CRAZY ! My sewing room looks like a disaster, but I am told if it is clean and neat there is NO SEWING going on! I have 2 block of the month projects going full steam head. Our youngest granddaughter in Texas loves her birthday quilt from Madagascar 2 movie so I am happy too!. Christmas sewing for next year starts in March. We all need a breather. Thank You Kristyne, "Have a Blessed Christmas"
