Giveaway Day 2014 - Jump Right in!

While it's nice to receive, it's awfully fun to give!  And that's what I'm doing today. How about taking a chance at the Random Generator picking your name as the recipient of my Christmas Giveaway for Giveaway Day 2014!

My thanks to Sew Mama Sew for hosting this fun blogging event!  Before I get to the giveaway, let me quickly introduce myself.  I'm Barb, and I'm glad you stopped by. If you can spare a moment, take a look around my blog and you'll soon discover I'm pretty much absorbed in quilting these days.

I have a part-time Day Job, so other my part-time job is quilting for others and selling fun things in my Etsy Shop, Mountain Quiltworks.  My microwavable hot/cold packs made with rice or flax seed inserts are washable, and you can choose to have lavender scent in them - perfect for those days when your body just isn't cooperating with you! And I have a nice selection of quilts and table runners which are great if you just don't have time to make one yourself!

As you take a look around, you'll notice my shop is all decked out for Christmas - just love Red and Green. There's just something cozy, warm and special about red and green that always brings a smile to my face. Guess it reminds me of my mom :)

SO, on that note, I'd like to give away not one, but two charm packs to one lucky quilter!  I have one charm pack of Sweet Pea and another of Fellowship, both from Moda.  I just haven't been able to use them and I'd love to see somebody create something special with them. Could it be you?

Entering is easy - just leave a comment and let me know if you lean toward reds and greens for the holiday season? Or are you more a blues person?  Or maybe you like all things sparkly and your home reverberates with silver and gold? Just tell me your favorite holiday colors.

Followers here, or over at my Facebook page, are always welcome. The more the merrier!

Entries are, unfortunately,  open only to U.S. residents.  Some of you are No-Reply bloggers, so just in case, leave your email so I can get in touch with you if you win! Giveaway closes at 5p.m. PST on Dec. 12, 2014.

If you follow my blog, you already know about another great giveaway for a Wiggle Time quilt patten I have going on through Wednesday. Read all about it here.

But most importantly, my wish for you is to be able to take a few minutes for yourself this month, just long enough to re-energize and enjoy the holidays. You are worth it!

Quilting with a smile,
Barb

Winner of my Sew Mama Sew Giveaway!

Wow! What a fun week this has been. I was overwhelmed with all the responses to the giveaway I had in conjunction with Sew Mama Sew. It was so much fun to read all the comments, correspond with you, make some new friends, and have some of you join me for my quilting journey. So fun.

Say what? You have a winner?

But you are all anxious to know who my winner is.  I must say the first two names that the random generator drew were No Reply Bloggers, and without email information, I have no way to contact you. So, the third name drawn was Colleen from Alaska.  Congratulations, Colleen! An email is winging its way to your In Box at this very nano second.
 
Thanks for all of you who took time to respond. The question that I posed about what you did for exercise after you'd been sewing a long while proved to be a great question. I got to see a little glimpse into your life, and it was great inspiration for me, personally, to get off my tush more often and MOVE! I tend to stay focused at the task at hand, but my body really thanks me for taking a few minutes throughout the day to just move.

Thanks to you all, and I'll see you around!

Remember to quilt with a smile,
Barb
