Fabric and Notion Giveaway

I am feeling a bit better today, so I thought I would hostess a giveaway that will go until the end of the month. The first item I am giving away is 'The Thread Lite,' an amazing lighted needle threader.

Awhile back I purchased two of these, one to use and one to giveaway and if you are like me, wear tri-focals, bi-focals, glasses or just plain can't see to thread a needle, this tool is amazing. I wish I had known about it years ago. This will be the first prize award for some very lucky winner. And here is a picture of it with the light turned on. It operates on three tiny watch type batteries and they are included!

I have also had plenty of time to think about the stacks and stacks of fabric I have laying around and how much I will use in the future for quilt projects and how many times I will see something I like better in the quilt stores and buy more.

Face it ladies and gentleman if you are a quilter or crafter and have been for any length of time, we are HOARDERS any way we look at it and we probably have more fabric than we will ever use and probably more than any one of our family members will ever use or know what to do with if we pass on.

So, I am also giving away some of my scrap stash and the scraps will be cut into neat little sizes from 3" to 5" sizes depending on the fabric and how much I have of it left. Up for grabs is the following fabric for second and third place.

Second place is three fall/Thanksgiving fabrics that would be great to add to a quilt, place mat, hot pad, etc. The brightly colored pumpkin fabric is less than a 1/4 yard, but will be cut using a rotary cutter into usable pieces. The black leave pattern is the same and then the harvest pattern has quite a bit more. Leave me what size squares you want these to be cut into, 3" or 4" and I will cut them to your size.

Lastly, I am giving away a stack of various pink flannel 6" x 6" squares, there are 12 to this bunch and if I find more laying around, I will include them as well. It is just right now, I am working on hand piecing quilts and have no plans to use any of the above.

The giveaway rules are pretty simple:

1- Giveaway ends September 30th, 6:00 PM PST and winners will be announced October 1st. Please, you must leave me a valid Email address so I can send you your winning notice.

Will You Be One Of The Lucky 5?

I am so very close to making my 500th post here that I am giving away 5 gifts that monumentous day. No, you can't have all 5, but if you are one of the first 5 to post me a note when that time comes and it is sooooooooooooooooooooo close that you will miss it if you don't pay close attention. It will be sometime this week, but when, I do not know.

I have been busy today preparing the little token of thanks for those of you that have supported this blog, posted about my giveaways, told others, won prizes and those 15 people who are my followers.

For the very first one to comment on my 500th post, you will get this really funky, brightly colored large pin cushion. I just loved the colors and now that spring is rolling around to some parts of the country, I thought I would make something bright and cheery. The colors here actually remind me of my years in Arizona.

What is even better, if you get tired of looking at these colors, you can just flip it over because I made the reverse side colorful as well. If you don't need a pin cushion, give it away to a friend or a giveaway on your blog, just remember to post who made it if you choose to use it in your blog.

If you are the second poster, not to worry, you get this really cute Mushroom shaped felt needle/small scissor holder and I even put a loop on it so you can hang it somewhere when you are working on a project and need your scissors and needles close by. This picture shows what it looks like when you open the mushroom.

The person who posts a comment third, receives this cute little pin cushion that has roses and plates on it, it is an older fabric that I have had for several years and used it many times. It just reminds me of days gone by!

Poster #4 will get this vintage package of holiday ribbon/embellishment that I purchased before Christmas from Rebecca over at Thrifty Goodness Etsy shop. Rebecca always has some really nice vintage things and is always adding to her shop. You can check her Etsy shop out on the sidebar.

The last prize winner, but I hope not the last poster, will be poster #5 and they will receive these cute little white hearts with polka dots on them. I received them in a recent swap and just think they are adorable.

So please, blog about this, tell others about this, but make sure you check back often as my 500th post is creeping up faster than a cat on a mouse!
