A few weeks ago, I mentioned here that while cleaning up my sewing room, I realised I own way too many quilt books. Instead of letting them all sit there gathering dust, I decided to let someone else enjoy them.
Today, I would like to offer you this book:
The book contains a bunch of really fun crafts, including quilts, for the home. I purchased the book a long time ago and still haven't done anything in it yet... So I figured I probably never will.
To win the book, simply leave a comment telling me one thing you have learned this week (can be on any topic). The giveaway will be opened until Sunday, March 3 at Noon (Eastern Time). Anyone can participate - I will ship internationally - and you don't have to be a follower (although I would love for you to become one if you aren't!)
Good luck!

I have learned this week that making large quilts is getting to much for me to handle. With fibromyalgia, lifting and quilting a big quilt is just too,painful. I need to stick to wall hangings and runners
ReplyDeleteI learned there are people with some strange addictions out there. Collecting fabric is not strange eating cat hair is strange. My sister-in-law said this was on a reality TV show called "My Strange Addiction".

I learned that trying to schedule a field trip for a group of kids from my school is a pain in the you know what. I am learning to have patience so that I can accomplish this and the kids can be involved in a great learning experience.

Oh, this is an exciting giveaway! I've had my eye on this book for awhile :-) One thing I've learned this week.......hmmm.........it would have to be that I need to focus on one thing at a time. I've been getting little bits done here and there, but not stopping and starting things all the time would help me get more done. I hadn't noticed how often I was going from one thing to another, instead of focusing on one task to completion.
ReplyDeleteI learned that I am not as calm a person when I don't have time to sew! i think I need to take a couple of days just to do prep work for quilt piecing and wool applique so that when I have a few free minutes, I can just go into my sewing room and work!
ReplyDeleteYa gotta love all things Sweetwater! Nice of you to offer their book Izzy! For some reason I don't show up as a follower... so I'll go fix that right now!
ReplyDeleteThis week I've learned, my 13yr old son knows more about my Ipad than I'll ever know. Soooo sad. ;-> I'm a follower and I have a pile of Sweetwater's Noteworthy, just waiting for the perfect pattern to go with it. Looks like a wonderful book. Thanks! Toni Anne
ReplyDeleteHi!!! I learned a couple of embroidery stitches!!! Little lessons can be good!!!! Thanks for the fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI've learned that Yr9 kids really do enjoy learning poetry if you do some fun activities with it when reading aloud. I'm a middle school English teacher and we had the most laughter ever in a lesson yesterday!
ReplyDeleteI've learned this week that sunshine REALLY makes my heart sing. The daffodils are blooming and the sun is shining and I have a lightness of spirit that's been missing for a while...
