Mara, I’ve sent you an email! Good luck to everyone who has entered for other fabulous prizes, and thanks to all who commented and visited. I have a post in the works about the bucket list items, which I found to be really interesting and inspiring. Happy weekend, everyone!
Edited to Add: Hey everyone, I am dying to comment in response but don’t want to screw up the numbering system, just in case! I will start writing back as soon as I get the winning entry number–there are so many interesting things to talk about here. Thank you!
Welcome, everyone! I am really happy to participating in the 2013 Giveaway Days sponsored by Sew Mama, Sew.
I love feasts for the eyes, which is probably why I make sure my stash is visible at all times, and why I also want to hang my Kona color card on the wall as art. It’s just so pretty, all on its own. So tantalizing, and full of possibility.
For my contribution to Sew Mama Sew’s Giveaway (go look! There are five full sections of different giveaways!), I offer to you a Kona Color Card:
Up to date with all 243 swatches!
I don’t know about you, but there’s never one handy when you need it. I bought two, and am sharing one with you, and I’ll be throwing in a little something else as a mystery gift. Here’s the 411 on the contest:
To enter: leave a comment below telling me about That One Project on your bucket list (quilting or otherwise). Mine is to write a quilting book, someday. I’ve got it all figured out in my head, samples in the works, and a proposal being typed up. We’ll see if I have the guts to submit!
Comments will be open until May 10 at 5 PM PST, and I will choose a winner with the random number generator by May 12. Make sure your comments aren’t anonymous, since my spam filter is set to weed that out. I promise, I WILL ship internationally.
Good luck!
My bucket list project is a pair of perfectly fitting trousers.
I’ve had dreams in this direction, myself. Good luck in your quest!

I’m working on a five book YA fiction series. It’s something I’ve been working on for 7 years, and I really enjoy writing, though I don’t often get the chance. As for quilty stuff, I’d like to one day make a medallion quilt of my own design. We’ll see! 🙂
I love YA lit. Amazon sends me lots of suggestions for things to read–hopefully someday I will see yours on one of those emails. good luck!
