Day 6 of 12 Goodie Giveaway

We are half way through the goodie giveaway! Thanks so much for playing along with me and I hope you're enjoying it as much as I am.

The winner of Pooches and Pickups from yesterday's giveaway is #57 - Lori.

I would have them go grocery shopping! It's my least favorite thing to do, and I haven't gone in two weeks. It needs to be done desperately!

And now onto today's goodies. Since we're half way through, today is a big one! There will be 3 winners!
Winner number one will receive a FQ pack of Modern Whimsy in Meadow




And the lovely Amanda Murphy, a fellow designer with Robert Kaufman and a talented pattern designer, has created a really beautiful pattern called Bejeweled. She used Modern Whimsy for her sample and it is simply gorgeous. Amanda has kindly provided me with a few copies to giveaway to you! So winners 2 and 3 will each receive a copy of Amanda's pattern, Bejeweled. Thanks Amanda!


I also wanted to show off my new chair cover. It's for the chair I use at my sewing machine and I just love the way it turned out. Its one of my favorite chairs in the house.




And I cannot believe that I haven't shown you the selvage from Modern Whimsy! It has my bunnies on it! Eeeeee!!! So cute, huh?! Cannot wait to come up with a bunny selvage project. And just wait until you guys feel the hand on this fabric. Its  100%organic and soooo soft and its a dream to sew with.




Well thanks for sticking with me through this long post!

    7 swans a swimming would make a beautiful addition to our yard. But then I would have to make a pond and keep the dogs from chasing them. Love this fabric. I sure hope I win! Thanks for a chance!

    My kids love feeding the ducks at the zoo. I'm sure swans would be no different. This could keep them busy for a while. It's like having our own zoo in the back yard, except we don't have a pond. That could be problematic.

    I'd have to set the swans up behind glass and then i'd have a great live episode of CatTV. i'm sure my cats would be entertained for hours.

    I do have a pond, but I think it'd only hold one uncomfortable swan at a time, which couldn't be very fun for the swan. Perhaps I'd send them off to the pond/lake a few blocks away in my neighbourhood. Which isn't very fun, but what else are you going to do with so many swans? I guess you could try to wrangle them into a swan parade.

    Oh, I really need those seven swans. We always have sooooo many geese in the pond behind our house. These geese leave lots of "presents" in our backyard. Swans protect their territory and chase the geese away. Bring on the swans!

  17. Faith JonesDecember 9, 2011 at 10:20 AM

    I cannot wait for this fabric to come out! It will be perfect for a spring quilt!

    Let's see, the swans. I suppose my 5 year old would make us dig a pond for them...so let's hope I never actually have Seven Swans a Swimming.

  18. SuzicalDecember 9, 2011 at 10:21 AM

    How lovely is that fabric!
    With 7 swans we'd have to enlarge the pond in our new house rather than fill it in! Though they might scare the puppy somewhat! :)

    Seven swans-a-swimming would be wonderful to view from my living room window, so I would dredge a lake, stock it with yummy fish and provide a wonderful home for the swans there. Hopefully, they would return after flying South during the cold winter here.

    This fabric is so darn cute!
    Swans a swimming, hmmmm. I think I would donate them to the local park for the pond there and then the entire community could be blessed. I have kitties, and my kitties would try to chase them, which would end badly for the kitties as swans are very big and very strong!

    hmmm ... considering that I live in an apartment ... 7 swans-a-swimming would be kinda amusing considering they would be in our small bath tub. Instead I should take them out to the farmland and find a big pond for them to swim in. Here's to hoping they don't freeze their little tail feathers off.
    Beautiful fabric, as always, I can't wait for it to be released. :-)

    I'd probably unleash the swans into my parent's swimming pool (in warmer weather of course). They'd get a kick out of it at first but would then no doubt call animal control and write me out of their wills.

    So pretty Laurie! Love the selvage!! Seven swans a swimming would be quite happy here at the condo because there is a large "pond" throughout the complex. I doubt I could get away with keeping them all though because my mother would be sure to steal a couple for her pond. lol

    Unfortunately, we live in a desert. My friend has chickens and a little pond but there isn't room for even one swan to swim more than 3 or 4 leg pulls. I'm afraid they would fly the coop at my house and head over to a larger pond, where some wiseguy kid would shoot them with a 22. So if they turned up I'd have to return them to sender.

    Love the chair cover! Not sure what I would do with some swans. Although we do have a c--p load of geese who hang out here at our lake in Denver all winter!

    Seven Swans a-swimming - I guess I would need to forget about the new shed and build a swimming pool so they could swim. Thankfully it is summer here so I guess we would have fun with a pool. Although the kindest thing to do would be to release them in the wetlands at the end of the road. So no pool and the shed goes up, Phew - that is my new sewing room.

    Seven swans a swimming need treats. So I'd sit by the pond, on my bench with the weeping willow branches hanging gracefully overhead and feed my lovely swans.
    Thanks for the giveaway.

    Love Amanda Murphy's new patterns. Love the fabric. Love 7 swans-a-swimming as long as they were swimming with their mates in the Torrens River which meanders through Adelaide, South Australlia. Christmas is a great time for old friends to get together and to make new ones. So from a balmy 70-80 happy holidays.

    Love the legs on that chair, wow! And as for the 7 swans, well, my gym pool has been closed for redo for 8 months now and is supposed to reopen by Christmas (pending inspections). I'd herd those swans right through the front lobby and into the pool, inspection or not, and show 'em the swimmers have grown very restless! No brainer, and thanks for the giveawy.

    Ummmm, seven swans a swimming would have to be put in our community's pond, with little red ribbons tied safely around their necks for a photo opportunity...no swans would be endangered during the process...thanks for the great chance to win and fun with this question!

    I'd have to install a hot tub (a rather large one) and build some sort of addition onto the house for it. Minnesota is cold right now. The 10,000 lakes are freezing over, you know! Live on a farm, but took down the barn years ago. The 8 maids-a-milking retired.

  128. LeeDecember 10, 2011 at 7:00 AM

    I would put the swans in the lake behind our property. They would be very happy. I would then buy the best binoculars I could find so I could watch them in my leisure. Could my swans fly away??? Blessings, Lee

    I would thank the person giving me the Seven Swans but then would have to find them a great home with a beautiful pond and lots of land as I just don't have a yard big enough and they would probably drive my Chow crazy. Love the fabric, particularly the selvages - some of the best I have ever seen. Would love to win a pattern. Thanks.

    Well...I could say they would look great in the pond out back but I would be lying! I'm afraid I would be forced to cut them up...:o( YES I'm a slasher...a ripper...a cutter!! BUT I always feel remorseful and try to piece them back together again into some pleasing design! SEW honestly...those lovely Seven Swans are NOT safe around here!! I would turn them into a quilt or a table cloth or a pillow...or maybe all three!! The scissors are waiting....THANKS FOR THE CHANCE!!
    Have a wonderful Christmas!
