It's finally here! One of the most magical days of the year!
I don't know about you, but I love when Giveaway Day rolls around. One of the first thoughts I had when I started my blog was what cool stuff would I give away on such a fun day?
Well, I don't know if you are aware of this, but I have a little love affair going on with solid fabrics. I adore them! So I thought, why not share some beautiful Kona solids with a lucky reader?
How about a Fat Quarter starter pack of 16 of the most popular Kona solids?
See that one in the bottom right corner? It's called School Bus and is one of my absolute favorites. I'm an orange kind of girl.
But wait! Kathy the generous owner of Pink Chalk Fabrics has graciously offered a second FQ Starter Pack to another lucky reader! That's right kids, 2 FQ Bundles are up for grabs.
Just leave one comment and you'll be entered to win.
How about telling me what your day job is?
Yes, I'm a snoop. I think it's interesting to see what we do when we aren't sewing. If you're CIA or something crazy like that, just make something up OK?
For a second chance at the bundle of joy, let me know if you are a follower.
Mr. Random will pick two winners Friday December 16th after the giveaway closes at 5PM PST. International entrants welcome!
Be sure to stop by Sew, Mama, Sew for tons and tons of other great giveaways!

ReplyDeleteWell I don't really have a title....I do a bit of bookkeeping, a bit of party planning, a bit of assisting the owner, and well I even have to waitress sometimes. Oh heck there have even been times recently when I was doing dishes. This is a family business so I do anything that needs to be done. BUT most of the time I am either doing the books (not cooking them) or party planning. Thanks for a great giveaway to you and Kathy
ReplyDeletegreat choice for the giveaway! I LOVE solids. I am a SAHM, but I also run a licensed home daycare, and homeschool my own five kids :)
