**GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED**
Of course I consider myself a fabric addict but there is more to sewing than just fabric and we can't forget the handy notions that make it all possible and help us create beautiful things.
The Fat Quarter Shop are kindly sponsoring a giveaway of my chosen notions. I picked the ones I use a lot, wouldn't want to be without and would like to share with you because I know you will love them too!
So here are a few of my favourite notions:
- A pack of 50 Clover Regular Wonder Clips You don't know how brilliant these are until you start using them. Excellent for holding down binding, useful for bag making or any instance where you need to clip things together. I regularly use them just to keep my EPP or hand sewing pieces in order.
- Aurifil 50 wt thread #2021 The most fabulous thread in beautiful Natural White. I use this colour a lot and it is perfect for piecing.
- Clover White Seam Ripper I would like to rid the world of rubbish seam rippers, using a really good one makes a horrible task so much easier. The larger handle and sharp ripper make all the difference!
- Sewline Styla Water Erasable Pen I use various methods of marking for different projects but one of the most reliable and useful is a water erasable pen. I use it for quilting, embroidery and hand piecing.
- Clover Patchwork Pins I have used lots of different pins but glass head pins are my very favourite, there is something so charming about them and these extra fine ones are perfect for patchwork.
When I shop online I like to be able to add haberdashery items to my basket and the Fat Quarter Shop stocks a fabulous range of notions along with their vast selection of beautiful fabric, so don't forget to check out their Notions and Thread section when you are shopping!
**GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED**
The giveaway is open internationally, it will end on Saturday 15th November and the winner will be chosen by random.org.
You will not win if I can't contact you so please check you are not 'no reply' and to be sure leave your email in the comment e.g. ilovesewing (at) gmail (dot) com
Good Luck!
p.s. Thank you to Daniar from the Fat Quarter Shop for the beautiful product picture :)

1 – 200 of 544 Newer› Newest»I agree with you on all counts, my clover clips are scattered all over the house and get used in lots of ways. I keep a clover stitch ripper in every project bag along with glass headed pins. I have not used the fat quarter shop yet but have made some of Kimberley's quilts.

All your notions look wonderful. Don't have clips, pins, marking pen. White thread and seam ripper can always use more of. Wonderful giveaway. 24Tangent@gmail.com
The wonder clips for sure. I've been wanting then for ages. New pins might be even more useful though. My old ones are at the end of their life.

It would be really funny if I won the Wonder Clips because that is the only thing I ever won and it was from Fat Quarter Shop! You can never have too many seam rippers. Why do they put lids on seam rippers? They always end up lost. To all of you commenters that don't have Wonder Clips yet, don't wait, get some on your next shopping spree. Actually I could use more Wonder Clips or a new seam ripper. Thank you for this give away, and thank you too Fat Quarter Shop. I am ljbisme at msn dot com.
Wow! What a spectacular giveaway Lucy! I'm making flower blocks from my stash/scraps at the moment! It is turning out to be a fun quilt!

My favorite notions are my weights, they almost provide an extra hand. The most used gadget is sadly, my seam ripper - grrrrr. Clover clips are on my wish list
Love the clips and only use aurifil in my machines!
I love my purple thangle...I slao use Aurifil thread...
I only took up quilting last year so don't have many bits & bobs, so I'd love everything, but the thing I would love most is the clips as I've loads of projects I haven't finished yet & I struggle to use safety pins as I'm disabled & have lots of problems with my hands.

Oh My!!!!! You are THE BEST!! This is a terrific giveaway - I really really would love to win the clips - I keep saying I will treat myself but then I Cannot justify it when I spend so much on fabric - and if it is a choice between fabric or a notion treat - the fabric always wins. ha ha

You have great taste in notions! Good tools do make a difference. I like these, too.
Lovely giveaway. Sadly my last clover seam ripper died a death - Turns out that if you keep it in tupperware box, you need to make sure the end of the seam ripper is clear of the edge before you clip it shut with force. Whoops.
