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. :)

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!

I am making a hexagon quilt for my daughter hoping to get it finished as it is all handsewn. Its made up of predominately pink surrounding hexagons and small florals in green and yellow. Looking good so far Merry Christmas to all from Australia

Made some pouches for my nieces to fill with gifts and a scarf for my sister. I wanted to make (and will add to the list for next year) a tree skirt and stockings for me and a tree skirt for my sister. Thanks for the giveaway!

My daughter just adopted twin 9 year old boys and they LOVE pillows!! So, Santa grandma has been busy making all sizes and shapes of pillows to make their first Christmas in our family memorable.

[Susan]

Just finished a flannel rag quilt, need to finish off my grandson's stocking -- counted cross stitch is complete, and I have 2 pillows to complete - felted wool on flannel/cotton. One is a Santa, the other two snowpeople.

[Jayne Griffith]

Finished two Santa cookie plate mats, two pairs batman pyjamas, one on the go bag and am working on hot pads.

[Barb]

Thanks for the chance to win gorgeous fabric!! My project was the Baby boy quilt from your book - and it's all finished!! I also stitched a cute wee girl in her mama's shoes, a stuffed pillow doll and I'm keen to do more!
Have a wonderful Christmas, filled with delight, fun, family and friends.

I just made a stack of Christmas pot holders for stocking gifts and I made 3 small quilted bags for my daughter's friends. Last month I finally finished the top to my Christmas throw with gingerbread men. (It still needs quilting). Have a fun day!

[Cindy]

Thank you for the chance to win. This year I'm only making a mini-quilt for my own little quilt hanger.

[Joyce]

I did complete a tractor quilt wall hanging for my husband ( thank you Lori Holt for the pattern) and 3 Christmas tree quilts as gifts. I think its the first year I won't be sewing binding on Christmas eve!!

[Karen Seitz]

I've made a Christmas quilt and am still working on ruffle fabric scarves and a black, white, and gray quilt for my brother.

[charlotte]

I made 3 minion bath mitts for my grandsons from a post by Amy Friend of During Quiet Time and I also made pillow cases for the two older boys.

[Babychaser]

More winter than Christmas. Fleece skirts for my girls to help keep them warm. Maybe I'll finish a long ago started quilt for my grandparents.

[Sandy D]

I have just finished putting the binding on Deck-Ade The Halls quilt.It is not a gift because I am keeping it. I just finished five Christmas runners for our 4 daughters and my Sister.Now I have run out of time to do anything else.

[Bonnie Nyquist]

I am sewing a Ciney Taylor Oates backpack for my DGD, not quite finished...and some Little Duffle Do it things for DGS,the teenager! He loves that pattern for his techie things..always some mug rugs, potholders and I need a few new aprons being we are hosting.so I am working on it all bit by bit. that fabric bundle looks just fabulous! bonniesline at aol dot com

[yenni]

I haven't completed my projects..not all ready...:( it always happen like this every year...

I made purses for my nieces. One of these days, I'll make a Christmas quilt but I haven't fallen in love with the right fabrics yet.

[missmoozie]

Pretty fabric! I have not done any sewing as I've been studying for school finals. I have some placemats I started before that I want to finish. Thanks for a chance to win.

I have been very busy sewing this season. I've made a leather backpack, appliqued and FMQed pillow and quilted Thisnthat project carrier for my three grown daughters. I made pin cushions and pins for my BFF's. I had a lot of fun making these gifts.

[Paula B]

I plan on sewing a road pixel quilt for my son!

[Shelly S.]

I am in the process of binding a quilt I made for my mother. I also have completed 18 strawberry sachets filled with lavender, a small quilt for a friend, and a mug rug/coaster set for another. The sachets will be small extras to put in packages and stockings - I love the lavender as an alternative to cedar (or dreaded moth balls) to keep the moths away from my winter wool and cashmere sweaters.

[marilyn holley-stupka]

I'm just about finished with a Snowman throw and a red star Mini, 3 more Christmas pillow cases done for the grandchildren (10 done), a stocking for the new baby, and then as many doll clothes as there is time for. I'll be sewing right up to the end, as usual.

[shelley]

[Elizabeth Anne]

I am making a waldorf-style doll for miss 18 mo, a red riding hood cape for miss 4, and a couple sets of dollie clothes for both. Phew. And I'm not done yet... *gulp*

For once, I'm not doing any Christmas sewing! All my Christmas came from recent travels... Although I need to finish my Christmas quilt!

[Amy Cullen]

I am making some new stockings for some family members. The names are hand embroidered in my Mom's script. If I get the time, I am going to make some rice bags. These fabrics will make a perfect covering. Thanks for the chance to enter!

[Erin]

I love your purchases, especially the little deer one. Hope I win!
I'm working on some gift tags and little crochet projects for Christmas.

I am not doing Christmas sewing, but am working on a baby quilt for my second granddaughter who will arrive in January!!

[Cheri]

I finished 3 sets of doll quilt and tote bag for my grand daughters, a crayon/coloring book tote for the three little ones and a art journal cover with pencils for the 2 older ones. Now, just today, i have a brain storm after talking to the one GD to make her some doll quilts and buntings and things for her dolls. Nice to have something to work for again! Thanks for the giveaway..the prints are beautiful!

[Beth T.]

Kerry's shop is such a treasure trove!

I still need to make several table runners...but I'm taking a break to look at pretty things online.

[Pat]

I have completed 2 quilts for grandchildren and one more to go. I made a couple of Christmas pillows but didn't get to the Christmas quilt. Oh well. It will be ready for next Christmas.

[Nita]

No Christmas sewing for me this year...in the middle of moving! Terrible tome of year to move!

[Sharon]

I need to get started on some quilts that I want to make for charity!

[Robinh]

Beautiful fabrics! I am working on a Christmas quilt, that most likely will not be finished in time for Christmas...but then again maybe it will! I might also get pajamas made for my girls. Have a merry Christmas!

[Annette Crain]

I just completed a "Leggo" quilt for my grandson, Carson. Last night I finished up a furry little doggy bed for my granddaughter's new American Doll for Christmas. I still want to make some mug rugs for the holidays too!

[Janie McCombs]

I made a Duvet Cover for my son in black, grey, and orange fabrics. For his daughter I made a flannel quilt in purple, pink and soft green fabrics. I plan on sending them for their birthdays in January, but my son keeps asking me where his blanket is!!!! He still has the first quilt I ever made for him, he was 10 then. He is now 25. I am glad he continues to ask and appreciate what I have made for him.

[BillieBee]

I rarely make anything for my family. They like store bought.

[staci]

Such pretty fabric! I have a quilt I had started last month but have been sick for 3 weeks and now have just this weekend to finish it. Getting anxious. :)
Thanks for the chance.

[Heather]

A very sweet giveaway and lovely fabrics!! I just finished some vintage inspired felt stockings and have some more gifts to make! Merry Christmas to you! xo Heather

[Kathleen]

For Christmas I am hurrying along with two little doggie quilts- one for my dog Luigi, and one for his best friend down the street named Rocky. I also want to make a cute little tree decoration this year of a teeny tiny little quilt! In addition to all that, I have an ongoing King Quilt that I am working on. I don't know when that will be done but hopefully in 2014.
Merry Christmas Kristyne and to all your blog followers! And thanks to Kerri at SewDearlyLoved for a lovely giveaway!

[Barbara]

I made quilts for my 4 grandchildren and 1 quilt for my sister.
Then I decided to make Christmas pillowcases for my niece and nephew
and that led to new pillowcases for the grands too.
I think it is time to let my sewing machine have a little vacation but I can
dream and plan for the next projects.

[Kristi]

I stitched a quilt top for a member of my small quilt group, that was given the first part of December. Other than that, I don't sew Christmas gifts. Too much stress! Thanks for the great giveaway!

I finished a quilt for one granddaughter, and a quilted diaper bag for one daughter, and I'm still working on a bedscarf for my mother. Love these fabrics - thanks for the giveaway!

[usairdoll]

Such dainty and pretty fabric. I don't have any Japaneese fabrics yet, not sure why but I don't. I'm working on a tablerunner for my sister. I've been sick and it's cut into my sewing time. Wishing you Happy Holidays!

Thank you for a super giveaway and a chance to win.

Ooh such gorgeous fabrics!! My Christmas sewing will mostly be done on the 2 day plane trip home to Australia for a few weeks! Hand sewing some little triangles for a quilt that I've been working on for ages. Then it's time to go nuts in my Mums sewing room! Anything is possible in there :)
