Tomorrow is my blog’s first birthday and as my own birthday is during this week too, I thought I’d celebrate with some give-aways. They will be simple to enter and if you have a blog, a Facebook account or a Twitter account then there will be multiple chances for you to win.

In addition to raiding my own stash for prize goodies the lovely Charlie and Lindsay of Hawthorne Threads and Cathy from Wondrous Woven Fabrics have generously agreed to donate some fabric to the prize pool. Both stores have sales pages, as well as their fabulous ranges of full price fabrics. You can find Hawthorne Threads sale page here and Wondrous Woven Fabrics’ sale page here. What’s more if you’re quick you can get 30% off the following ranges from Wondrous Woven Fabrics (finishes Monday US time):

Baby from Michael Miller Fabrics

Circa 60 Beach Mod by Monaluna for Birch Fabrics

Max & Whiskers by BasicGrey for Moda

Greenfield Hill by Denyse Schmidt for FreeSpirit Fabrics

Haven’s Edge by Tina Givens for FreeSpirit Fabrics

A Morris Tapestry by Barbara Brackman for Moda

Stonehenge in Maui by Sunshine Cottage for Northcott

Parisville by Tula Pink for FreeSpirit

give-away, Hawthorne Threads, sewjournal blog, winner

Gosh what a lot of work to organise this draw! As WordPress doesn’t number posts I had to copy and paste everyone’s name – one by one – into a spreadsheet, then download the subscriber’s list and paste that into the spreadsheet then use the random number generator on Random.org! We ended up with 286 entries!

Anyway after 40 minutes of cutting and pasting we have a winner. Entry number 104 in my spreadsheet, and the winner is Janice Weisser! Janice wrote:

My favorite collection right now is Hanry Glass Classic Current. But wouldn’t you know it’s out of stock right now.
What a great website, I just love going there and looking and being able to find just the correct matching piece. Great site, thanks
.

Congratulations Janice and I hope you let us know what you buy with your $50 gift voucher. I’ll be contacting you by email.

Thank you everyone for participating and thank you Hawthorne Threads for such a great give away.

Looking for the Hawthorne Threads Give Away? It’s here.

I just want to take this opportunity to welcome all the new readers that have found their way here in the last 24 hours. I’m enjoying reading your comments and I agree that it is hard to pick a favourite collection from Hawthorne Threads. I guess it really depends on what sort of project you’re looking for fabric for doesn’t it? My choices are below:

Quirky fabric

Riley Blake’s Retro Umbrellas in White

Formal Fabric

Michael Miller’s Delilah in Purple

Wistful collection

Bari Ackerman’s Art Journal

Fabric collection coming soon

Pat Bravo’s Paradise in the Sunset Colourway

Progress on the new project

I have been pushing on with my latest project which I started the other day. I’m at the point of basting the greaseproof paper pattern onto the fabrics. It’s a painstaking process but I enjoy it and it almost guarantees the correct placement of the pattern on the fabric. This is especially important when you have a certain section of the fabric that you want to appear in a particular section of the pattern. The hole you can see in the paper was cut to allow me to centre a heart motif in the fabric in the centre of the central medallion of the pattern.

Sewjournal – Hawthorne Threads Give Away!

Colour picking

Colour picking

Today’s the day! Hawthorne Threads have generously  offered my readers the chance to win a US$50 gift voucher! You have two chances to go in the draw , I’ll explain in a minute.

Quilter- friendly website

The Hawthorne Threads website is so quilter-friendly. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but if you click on a particular fabric all the main colours in that fabric appear at the bottom of the screen. Then you can click on any one of them to find co-ordinating prints.

Another feature I really like is their colour grid where you click on a colour and it brings up a page where you can see all the fabrics with that colour in it.

Then you can also refine your choice by how dominant that colour is and how close in colour the fabrics are to the colour you picked. Have a play, it’s really useful.

So, how can you win?

Chance No: 1 – Visit the Hawthorne Threads website and browse their extensive fabric collections. Then come back here and leave a comment telling me what your favourite collection is.

Chance No: 2 – Over on the left column is a box that says “Get posts by email!“. Just add your email address and subscribe and you’ll get the blog posts in your inbox each day. You don’t need to leave me another comment  because I will add everybody on the subscription list to the draw. (So if you’re already subscribed you’re automatically in the draw.) Please note that a confirmation email will be sent and you need to click on this to confirm your subscription. If you don’t, then you won’t be subscribed and your name won’t appear in the list or be in the draw. So please, if you don’t get a confirmation email, check your SPAM filter.

The draw will be open until Friday Sydney time. Good Luck!
