***THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED - see who won HERE!***
I'm hoping to spend the rest of the day turning this embroidery (by Imagine Gnats) into a sewing bag, courtesy of this great tutorial
I couldn't wait to show you because I think the girl is pretty kick ass but the bag is on pause while I join the giveaway madness and offer you a chance to win!
Unfortunately I haven't had the time to make anything (try not to feel too disappointed!), so instead I'm giving away some yummy fabric
These are 3 fat quarters (actually they are slightly larger!) of Hex Box from Prince Charming by Tula Pink for Westminster/Free Spirit; Empire Weave from Heirloom by Joel Dewberry for Westminster/Free Spirit; and Daylight Urchin Forest from Marine by Dan Stiles for Birch Organic Fabrics.
I'm also including a few small(ish) scraps, yes there's some bits of Flea Market Fancy by Denyse Schmidt in there, as well as other lovelies.
** All you have to do to win is leave me one comment telling me what is making you smile today!**
** If you are a follower please leave me a second comment telling me so for another chance to win**
PLEASE MAKE SURE I CAN CONTACT YOU in case you WIN!!
The giveaway is open internationally and will close on Friday 25th May at 11pm (UK time) the winner will be chosen by Mr random generator (not sure why it's not Mrs?!) on Saturday 26th May.
***THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED - see who won HERE!***
edited to add: I wasn't quite expecting such a great response! It's wonderful but unfortunately means I just can't keep up and have to give in trying to reply to everyone that comments. So sorry!

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 800A gentleman at the post office pulled forward so it would be easier for me to park. It was a small gesture but it really made my day!

i smiled big this mornibg when the mama dog with her 2- 2week old puppies, wagged her tail & let me love on her puppies. we got them 1 week ago & then she showed her teeth & snapped whebever we tried to pet her, even worse when we tried to touch her puppies. it's great feeling to earn a terrified dogs trust. sharon @ ladyandhertramp@yahoo.com

I am smiling today because I got to take my daughter to a preview of her kindergarten class today and she is going to do SO well there! She was so smart and answered all the question correctly and even read a site book to the teacher that the first graders will start to read next year. I am so proud of her :-) However it did come to my realization that she won't be home with me during the day anymore... but to bring a smile back to my face that means more time to sew, quilt and create for me :-) That comment was very long ! Thanks for a chance to win in your giveaway!
