The Creative Director of a new site for sewers, called SEWN. Exciting right? I KNOW. The website will have just about everything you can think of that you would want online as a sewer. There are forums, online advice from industry experts, conversion charts, color wheels, free patterns and class listings.
There will be interviews with all your favorite designers, quilters, patterns makers and authors. There will be tutorials with sewers from here and overseas, podcasts and coverage from shows and articles about all manner of exciting things.
There is a new blog for quilters! Best of all, there are great unique gadgets - Fabricmatcher, which is an online tool which lets you match patterns to fabrics and see what your project will look like without sewing a stitch, and Find Fabric, which is the niftiest thing that will find the fabric you are looking for without you having to search for it for hours on the internet. It's so clever it even searches shops in your vicinity first to save you on international postage. How cool is that?
Plus there will be an online buy and sell area called SEWiNg, which is where you can sell the stuff you sew to the people out there who don't sew - and some of the ones who do :)
Just click on the SEWN button on the left to go this great site. Once there, you can sign up for their giveaway.
To celebrate the SEWN Launch Party, I am giving away 2 handmade postcards and 2 handmade coffee cozies! These are made from my hand dyed fabrics and embellished. Leave me a comment and I will choose a winner on Monday 8 June 2009.
I will close the comments at 4 PM today (Monday 8 June) and draw the winner then...Good Luck!! Sorry it took so long to get a pic posted of the prizes...blogger was NOT being cooperative. LOL

holidays.

It's just as sweet as the red and white stri...

Wow, the first post on a give-away. Hope that's good luck! Thanks for offering a great giveaway, the Sewn site has let me find a lot of great blogs already, and its not even up yet!
You have no idea how happy I'll be if I'm the lucky winner of your handmade postcards and coffee cozies! I need a coffee cozie terribly. These days the coffee cups are so thin and so hot to hold. I've never seen a coffee cozie, in fact I didn't even know they existed until recently. (I know, sad isn't it?)
What a wonderful giveaway you are holding. Please sign me up. BTW- I love your background. I have two family members who love "all things cupcake."
Thanks for the chance to win your great handmade treasures.

Thanks for giveaway
How very generous of you! You do lovely work and I would be thrilled to win your giveaway prize. Thanks for the chance at winning.
Hah! I've been wanting to make myself a coffee cozy and have been putting it off...now maybe I could win one for me and one for my daughter!!! I haven't tried postcards yet. I'm afraid they'll take over all my time if I start! Ones I've seen are so cool!
Wow, you are one busy lady! I would love to win your postcards to send to far-off friends (or probably just frame and keep!) and coffee cozies to dress up those dreary take-out coffee cups! Thanks for the giveaway!

doesn't want to miss your sweet giveaway!
Tq for a chance.
Thanks for this giveaway! I would love a coffee cozy, or even better, two, as my husband always insists on sitting down to have his takeaway coffee because the cups are too thin and finicky. Bet he wouldn't say that if we had coffe cozies!
thanks so much for the chance!
I love the idea of a coffee cozie! Please enter me in your giveaway.
Got to love a good coffee cozy to pretty up all that coffee that I drink!!
Ooh, hand dyed fabrics?! Thanks for the chance to win, I'd keep one cozy and give the other to my mom!
