Celebrating 3 Years - a big giveaway!


 It's hard to believe that 3 years have passed by since I nervously started blogging about my sewing.

It's been a fantastic, fun journey where I have made lots of new friends (you know they're proper friends when your husband starts referring to them by name instead of calling them the internet people) learned about a million new things and discovered a lot of stuff about myself along my way.


I made lots of beautiful things - these are some of my favourites:

My favourite things Aug 2013


Most importantly, it has made me happy :-)

So, to celebrate and say thank you to my lovely friends and readers, I'm having a giveaway. This is not a sponsored one, everything I'm giving away is from my own stash and I hope you like what I picked!

Firstly, 3 beautiful FQs of Nordika in the Alpine Valley colourway:


Next, from my (if I do say so myself) scrap bin of loveliness, 100 die cut hexies (sides measure 1.5" unfinished). I fussy cut quite a few of these to make them even more fun. There are loads of gorgeous fabrics in here.


A copy of the Modern Baby book:


And lastly, I couldn't resist putting a little handmade something in there, so I've included a phone/camera cozy.


I think its a lovely bundle, and I hope you do too. Here they are, all together:


One lucky person will win it all! To enter, its very simple, all you need to do is leave a comment telling me where you follow me - whether its Bloglovin, Feedly, Facebook, Instagram etc. New followers are more than welcome :-)  You can find the links to follow me in various places up on the top right of my sidebar. For a bonus entry, share this giveaway on your blog, Facebook page, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest etc and let me know in a second comment where you shared it.

I will post worldwide. The giveaway will close on Monday evening 19th August. I will choose a winner randomly shortly afterards and will announce the winner by editing this post. Please leave your email address in your comments, if I cannot contact the winner within a reasonable time frame I will redraw.

**Giveaway now closed. Winner will be announced on this post shortly**

Edited Tuesday 20th August.

Thank you everyone for your lovely, lovely comments on the giveaway. I loved reading them all. There can be only one winner however, and that was no 147,


 who is Jan. Congratulations Jan, I have emailed you!!
