Sewjournal Blog Milestone

While the Sewjournal Blog turned one this week it also reached another milestone. Over the last year this blog has had more 70,000 views! Thank you all so much. I hope you continue to enjoy the blog and if you ever have suggestions please leave me a comment as I love to hear from you. Now to the winners…

What a fun week! I’ve enjoyed it and  I hope you have. Your lunch preferences were really interesting and included some items I’ve never heard of. Thank you all for participating. I wish I could give you all a prize but there can only be one winner per prize. Here they are:

Give-Away 1 Winner

There were 129 entries! The number I had chosen for Give-Away No: 1 was 11. The person who picked this number was Bec Clarke who said Oh I pick number 11. It’s my husband’s lucky number. I guess now it’s your lucky number too Bec! Congratulations on winning this lovely bundle of fabrics from Wondrous Woven Fabrics. I’ll be emailing you shortly.

Give-Away 2 Winner

There were 69 entries.The number I had chosen for Give-Away No: 2 was 179. No one chose this number but Pam picked 178 and Shirley picked 180. As there were only two of you I decided to have a consolation prize too. So the winner will get the Hawthorne Threads Scrap Pack and the runner up will win a copy of my bag pattern. I put both names on slips of paper and put them in a bowl and picked one. The winner of the scrap pack is: Pam. Congratulations Pam! I’ll email you both shortly.

Give-Away 3 Winner

29 people entered this Give-Away and Mr Random Number Generator (Mr RNG) picked number 13.The 13th comment was made by Pat Rieme who said This would be a great project for our guild. Thanks. I’ll contact you shortly Pat. Congratulations!

 

Give-Away 4 Winner

21 people entered this Give-Away and Mr RNG picked the number 13 again! The 13th comment belongs to Jodie-Ann Arklay who said her favourite Quilt Shop was The Blanket Box in Geelong. Zoe always has new projects to do every time I visit and I love going to the sit and sew friendship groups, just to have a whole quilting day. Congratulations Jodie, I’ll contact you soon.

Give-Away 5 Winner

There were 18 entries for this Give-Away and Mr RNG favoured the number 2 this time. The second comment belonged to Kristen who said what fun fabric! I would love fish tacos or filet mignon with shrimp. Mmmm, your lunch sure looks good. Congratulations Kristen I hope you enjoy the fabric. Look out for an email from me.

So what’s next?

I hope to share my photos of the lovely Sydney Harbour surrounds that I took when we went out for lunch. It was a lovely day and the views were stunning. So stay tuned.

Thank you to everyone who joined in the fun. There seems be a lot of interest in pincushions and I have a few ideas for some cute ones. You may see some on here again soon.

Thank you all for entering the give-away. It was fun to see your guesses.

I have to say some of you must think that while I appear to be mild-mannered Sewjournal, at times I race into a phone booth (do they have those any more?) and metamorphose into this woman! 220 klosjes! Wow Annette! While you weren’t correct I’m going to send you a little something to thank you for your high opinion of my abilities. 🙂

The count…

Here they are. All arranged in tens and units. Eight piles of tens and three units = 83!  And the winner is: Deb! Congratulations Deb. I’ll email you shortly for your snail mail address so I can send your prize. 

The Quilt Pattern Magazine give-away

The  Quilt Pattern Magazine give-away is still running and you can find all the details here.

Quilt-lite batting

Sylvia asked in yesterday’s comments if this batting is good for hand-quilting? It definitely is. It’s very thin and light and it washes up beautifully. I took another couple of photos so you can see how fine it is.


We have a winner!

First of all, thank you to everybody who entered the give-away for your encouraging comments.  Now, after much RSI-inducing mouse-work to cut and paste all your email addresses into a spreadsheet so I can get you all numbered plus a visit to Random.org we have a winner of the 6-month celebratory give-way! And the winner is… drumroll…

No 24 in my spreadsheet –  ozjane! So Jane, I’ve emailed you to get your snail mail address and then these lovely prizes will be winging their way to you, hopefully some time on Monday.

Guest blogger

By the way, did I tell you I’m currently a guest blogger over at the Quilting Gallery? Why not head over and see what I have to say about the “p” word – Perfection!!

And the winner of the Sewjournal/Catherine’s Place Give Away is…

So today was the day of the Sewjournal/Catherine’s Place Give Away draw. Just to show it was all above board I have taken pics of the process, so here goes:

All the names of the commenters were written on a list and then cut up into a pile on my desk:

Then I put them in my quilted camera case:

Shook them up:

And then got DH to draw the winner.

And the winner, as you can see, is Christine of Time Out Stiching. Congratulations Christine. I hope you’ll show us your bag if you make it. I think it’s such a useful pattern. And thank you Catherine’s Place for providing such a lovely prize. And girls don’t forget The French Hatbox Co-op. It will probably close soon, the fabric is gorgeous and the minimum order is only .5 metre – a mere AUS$6.38. (There’s no brown paper bag on it’s way to me either. I have actually joined this co-op myself and I just think it’s a great buy.)

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.

Front of pattern with Jinny's autograph

It was such a difficult choice to make. You all had such great reasons for wanting to win and had wonderful colourful visions for the quilt.

In the end I tossed up between someone who vowed to make it by hand as Jinny herself would and someone who would perpetuate the giving cycle by making a quilt as a wedding present for her brother and sister-in-law. I love the idea of giving so I finally plumped for Marianne.

This is what she said:
WOW! What a gorgeous pattern, and a generous giveaway. I must admit I’ve not had the chance to peruse Jinny’s patterns, but I’ll be off to check her site now.
I would love to win this pattern from you, I would firstly do it in Greens and Purples for a wedding present to my DB and DSIL, then I’d make one for myself in ….mmmmm….I think I would have a day’s outing just to try different colour combinations and go from there.

Thank you all for entering. I plan to have other give-aways in the future and please leave your comments and let me know what you would like to see on the blog in the future, what interests you most etc.
