Sewing Back-To-School at Sew Sweetness and Garden Paths Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed...
Tomorrow I am guest-blogging at Sew Sweetness, which is hosted by Sara in Chicago.  She has lined up 30 days of fun sewing articles this month.  I'll be talking about buttons and buttonholes - specifically how to use them on the back of pillows.

I "met" Sara this spring.  After noticing that she faithfully commented on many of my blog posts I emailed her asking if she might want to test a pattern for my line.  (Yes, be careful faithful commenters!)  That pattern was Garden Paths, my best seller, so I thought that it was only fitting that I host a Garden Paths giveaway with this post. Not only am I giving away the pattern but I have one Veranda roll-up that I've saved for just this purpose. 



To enter you must be a follower of this blog and leave a comment on this post telling me a big lie about yourself.  (I must give credit to this giveaway idea to the very funny ladies of at Me and My Sister Designs.  They did this a few months ago and I thought it was absolutely brilliant.)  Don't forget to leave me a way to contact you should you win.

I'll start:
At a statuesque 5'10", I am a very relaxed person with absolutely no tendency towards obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Winner will be chosen using the Random Number Generator on Saturday

Make sure to hop on over to Sew Sweetness and say "hi" to Sara because she is having a giveaway on my entire pattern line - one more chance to win something fun!

Happy sewing!
Amanda

  51. Although I'm throwing my hat in the ring for this fabric giveaway, I actually have a wonderful eye for color and do not need to rely on pre-coordinated fabric lines to make a decent quilt. For instance, the pink, blue, and purple batiks I picked out for my last quilt DID NOT end up looking like a giant bruise.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I can't understand why quilters would cut up perfectly good fabric, only to sew it back together again!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Fabulous comments here! I quilt not because I love to but because so many people beg me to do so.

    ReplyDelete
  54. First of all I just hate your fabric and patterns, however I also live in a spotless house and would never think of eating a pint of ice cream a day. I guess that is why I wear a size 2 and am able to dress to the 9's every day, pj's and sweat pants are things I would never stay in for more that 10 mins after I get out of bed.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I hate sewing and consequently never buy any fabric!

    ReplyDelete
  125. Oh, Veranda is a line of fabric that I just dislike intensely, and I have never ever drooled over the Garden Paths pattern, with my mouse poised to click! Also, I am yet another member of this quilting community that is still slender and can fit in my clothes from college days.

    I never cut wrong,
    my seams always meet,
    never too short or long.

    I'm the best in the world,
    although no one's heard,
    and my poem's are awesome,
    or so's the word.

    So I really don't need this,
    don't want to win.
    I'm just sending this post,
    to add to the din.

  135. We won't discuss looks because obviously my figure simply enhances my naturally flowing blond locks. What impresses everyone most, however, is how I can work a high stress full time job, keep the house spic and span, have a hot dinner on the table every night, jog 5 miles, and finish the evening by sewing in an immaculately maintained craft room, all with a cheery disposition and a perpetual smile. (Wow ... I actually put that into words without cracking up!)
