little blessings giveaway

One of my favourite online sources for pretty fabric - Shabby Fabrics - has an adorable Block of the Month Club of wall hangings called Little Bessings.  Each month’s block is available as a kit, a pattern or part of the 12-month club. (Advantage to signing up for the club is that you receive free shipping worldwide.)  The club started in December but you can still sign up for it.

The kit includes these awesome laser cut applique pieces.  If you've never used laser cut applique pieces, I recommend giving them a try.  They make assembly precise and super quick.  If you like machine applique you will love these - no tracing, no cutting, no pinning ... none of the usual fussing about with all that regular piece preparation stuff.

I had my little Pink Ribbon banner put together in an afternoon and then hand stitched the binding in front of the tv that evening.  Done, done and DONE!

This Pink Ribbon design is not part of the 12-month club but is available individually as a kit or pattern.   And 100% of the proceeds from this design are donated to breast cancer research.

Now I have two chances for you to win this sweet little Pink Ribbon kit.  Leave me a comment (not an email) stating why you'd make the best recipient and then also tell me what you would do with it if you won (make it, keep it, gift it, donate it ...).  The first winner will be selected by a random number generator and the second winner will be chosen by Shabby Fabrics based on the comment.  International entries are welcome!

If you have any questions or would like more information about Shabby Fabrics fundraising efforts, please contact jessie@shabbyfabrics.com.

This giveaway ends Thursday March 13th and I will announce both winners the following week.  Good luck to you all!  Happy weekend. :)

So many here have commented they know of someone who has cancer and all that. I'm not debating that at all! I greatly sympathize with all mentioned, because my mother passed away from Lou Gehrig's Disease 3 years ago, and greatly, terribly miss her a whole lot. However, thought I'd throw in something different. I have a SIL who is going through a rough time because her husband of 20 years recently left her for someone else, and she's now going through divorce. I'd make this kit for her, as she starts over in her life.

Sorry, I really don't know of anyone who has breast cancer, nor do I know of any in my family, but I was just thinking of my SIL so much lately. (She did have surgery to clean up a lot of endometriosis - and it was bad!)

I just love this kit! I would make this for my best friend, Debbie, who lost her mother to breast cancer eleven years ago this July. Debbie took care of her mom and was there every minute in her remaining days. That takes great courage and strength! I admire her so much for actions speak louder than words. Thank you for this opportunity!

My sister was diagnosed with Breast Cancer 7 years ago and underwent surgery and chemo. She is now cancer free, but lives with fear every appointment she goes to. I would like to make this for her to remind her everyday that she is strong and there is HOPE!

I would make this sweet wall hanging for my sister-in-law who is a cancer survivor. I know that she would love it!!

My dear Mom is a BC survivor, I would make it for her. Thanks for the chance.

II am a 25 yr breast cancer survivor, and my sister is 5 yr survivor of brain tumor. a forever friend just learned she has breast cancer so I would make for her:)

I would like to make this for my daughter who had breast cancer surgery a year ago and is now struggling with her husband's diagnosis of a brain tumor.

I lost my sister 2 years ago to Breast Cancer. I miss her so. I would make this to donate to a BCA raffle.

A lovely project. I love Shabby Fabrics, also. My dear friend is a Breast Cancer survivor: this would be a lovely gift to make for her.

My mother and my aunt (my 2nd mother) passed away within 6 months of each other from cancer. My mother in-law and my father in-law are both cancer survivors. This may sound selfish, but I would make it for myself, to hang in my sewing room to serve as a reminder of how lucky I am to have had/have all of them in my life.

My mother in law has just survived breast cancer. I would love to make this for her.

I would love to make this and donate it to our local relay for life auction!
