SEWN Launch Party Giveaway!

This Post is a little bit late in timing! However, here's what it is all about - I originally had joined up the SEWN Launch Party Giveaway and intended doing a giveaway, but as you know things catch up with me from time to time! I received an email from Sarah, saying I was one of the winners of the launch of her new site - I am so very thrilled, but one can hardly be a winner if one hasn't fulfilled one's commitment, can one? Oh, this is starting to sound so funny!

Here is my giveaway - a delightful pincushion designed by Heather Bailey (a really fun pincushion to make!) and two of Kaffe's fat quarters - I really welcome Comments and let your friends know, as I would like to help Sarah out with her new venture - she has given so much to Australia with her two books done in partnership, Material Obsession and Material Obsession 2!

I'll close off the giveaway Monday morning - our time - June 22 - so good luck and please visit Sarah's new site SEWN by clicking the button on my sidebar - you are in for a lovely surprise!
PS - I am happy to post Internationally as the parcel should be quite light, so please let me know if you are interested - Sarah Fielke does have international followers and I'm sure you will find a lot of inspiration there over time!

I'm not going to try for the giveaway either as it would probably cost a fortune to mail to the US. Just visiting and wanted to say hi and that I love your goodies. What a lovely pincushion. Hugs,

I just adore that pincushion. The Felts are a perfect colour match. To say I love those Kaffe Fassetts fabrics is an understatement. I would just love to be part of you giveaway :-)

Liz said...

'Better late than never' is the saying Lurline and in this case it's worth waiting for. That pincushion is just fabulous and of course who wouldn't like some Kaffe. I will just have to keep everything crossed for this one.
Big hugs, lizzie
