SEWN Launch Party Giveaway

May 18, 2009 at 1:36 pm · Filed under Fabric, Field Trips

DRAWING IS NOW CLOSED.

I’m still unpacking the market goodies, but I wanted to get to posting about Sarah’s new adventure, SEWN.

See, here’s the lovely Sarah signing books at the Moda booth (hi, Sarah!):

You’ve probably already heard about SEWN, but if not (and I quote…):

SEWN is new and innovative online quilting and sewing community for all lovers of fabric crafts. We have Tips and Innovative Tools to help with your projects, an Advice Centre for all your sewing questions, online forums and chats, and information on your local shops, sewing groups, quilt groups and classes.

SEWN will feature designers and shops from Australia and New Zealand, as well as the latest from the USA, Canada, Europe and Japan.

There will be articles, interviews and tutorials from industry experts, competitions and free patterns! We’ll even be reporting via podcast from craft shows around Australia and the USA.

It sounds like it will be a WONDERFUL place for us, doesn’t it?!

I’d signed up to join the SEWN Blog Party Giveaway when Sarah first announced it, but I wanted to see if I could find some choice goodies at Market to share. And I did, so here’s my giveaway post.

I’ll be giving away two offerings, so there will be two winners.

First up is a four-fat quarter set of Heather Ross’s Far Far Away double gauze fabrics from Kokka:

Ooooh, aaahhhh. They match today’s ranunculus:

The second option is a set of four fat quarters of Erin McMorris’ Wildwood fabrics:

BUT you have to play my guessing game to be entered.

Here is a pic of my totebag that I carried home from Quilt Market:

I even had to go expando on the way home:

Here’s a photo of some of the innards spilling out:

Here’s the deal. You have to guess how much my bag weighed when I arrived home. Here’s some info on the bag to aid in your guessing. It contained a combination of items including books, some plastic templates, some fabric (duh), a camera, very little money (!), gum, wires, etc. It did not contain a laptop or any clothing items. Oh, and it didn’t contain all of my goodies, just what would fit.

To be entered, you need to guess how much the bag weighed before it was unpacked. I’ll draw from the correct answers for the Heather Ross fat quarters. I’ll draw from ALL comments to this post for the Erin McMorris fat quarters. You can enter until 11:59 EST on June 7 and I will draw the winners’ names on Monday, June 8. So, take a guess. Oh, my achin’ shoulder.

Here’s a wonderful love note that was in my tote bag too:

This is the back of a day-by-day love note from a certain nine-year-old. Awwww….

And, quickly, I wanted to show you a couple of fun things I found. I love this Kokka creepy stuffed animal fabric:

Here’s a LIME feedsack I picked up as well:

Sorry, no, they’re not part of the giveaway… I’ve taxed my brain going between photo downloads on different computers, so I’d better go before I start babbling. I’ll babble at you later.

Don’t forget to guess how hefty my bag was for a chance to win!
