Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!

Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day is here! Woo hoo!

If you are new here, welcome! I'm M-R and I live in Ottawa, Canada with the hubster and my three wild things (10, 7, and 5). I quilt. A lot. It lasts longer than housework and it keeps me sane. :)

This is my most recent finish -- October Sky:

I'll be sharing another finish this Friday when I it's my turn to host TGIFF, a touring linky party that celebrates those hard-earned finishes! Have a recent finish yourself? Come and link up!

Feeling festive, I put together this holiday-but-not-too-holiday combo of 5 fat quarters for the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day. Mmmm...

To win this bundle of fat quarters, just leave a comment telling me what your favourite colour combo is these days. Followers get a bonus entry -- just leave a comment telling me how you follow (via Bloglovin', Feedly, etc.). For another bonus entry, follow me on Facebook or Twitter and leave me a comment saying so. 

No reply bloggers, please leave your email address in your comment, otherwise I'll need to pick someone else. This giveaway is open until Friday, December 12th at 8 p.m. EDT. The winner will be chosen via Ms. Random Number Generator and announced on December 13th. I don't think I'll be able to keep up with comments so I'll thank you for entering now and I wish you good luck!

Before I go, I thought I share a few photos I was able to get this weekend. With the gorgeous weather we had, I 'made' the boys take me to the Tulip Festival this weekend for Mother's Day. Some tulips were open, but many are just days away from opening. Next weekend should be phenomenal. Can you tell I'm working on the 'close up with the fuzzy background'? ;)

Have a good one!

Sew Mama Sew Giveaway!

Happy Canada Day, eh!

Yay, it's Sew Mama Sew Giveaway time again! For those of you who are stumbling upon my blog for the first time, I'm M-R (stands for Michèle-Renée) and I live in Ottawa, Ontario with the hubster and my three boys (yes, quilting is my refuge).

Hexed

I made my first quilt 20 years ago, but I've been quilting regularly for about 16 and obsessively for about four. I'm one of the co-founders of the Ottawa Modern Quilt Guild and a member of the Ottawa Valley Quilters Guild.

I like to try different techniques and have a 'bazillion' (as my four year old would say) projects on the go.

Hope you take a moment to look around my blog, but let's get to the giveaway, shall we?



For our giveaway, we are going vintage/modern - 8 long quarters of these fun Depression-style fabrics, just perfect for a traditional or vintage modern project:

How can you win? Those who follow regularly know I love to play with colours so I'd like to know what is your favourite colour combination. This giveaway is open to everyone and all you have to do is leave a comment with your favourite colour combo below. Followers or new followers get a bonus entry -- just leave me a separate comment letting me know how you follow along (Bloglovin', Facebook, Twitter, etc.).

It's Giveaway Time!

It's Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day! If you haven't been here before, welcome! I'm M-R (stands for Michèle-Renée) and I've been quilting for about 15 years. I live in Ottawa, Canada with the hubster and three boys (8, 6, and 3). I'm currently on leave from my job to be home with the kids. I love trying new things in quilting -- modern, arty, even a little traditional here and there. Here are some of my finishes over the last couple of years:

Alright, let's get on with the giveaway, shall we? I'm about to start a project with this fabric palette so I thought I'd share a fat quarter bundle of it with one of you:

SMS Giveaway Winner and More Su{Brrr}nova

Thank you all for entering my SMS Giveaway. Like many others, I was surprised at how many no reply bloggers there are out there. If you've commented on my blog (other than for a giveaway) and never received a response, you are a no reply blogger. Here's a link for how to change that so you I (and others) can get back to you (and so you can win giveaways).

I'm happy to say that #3 Kelsey from Kelsey Sews won!

I'm a follower

I will be sending you an email shortly for your mailing address. Thank you, Kelsey for following along on my quilting misadventures. And thank you to all of you new folks who signed up to follow along as well. You've joined a great crowd -- my readers are awesome!

If you didn't win, don't worry because there's another giveaway starting tomorrow night. Say what?! Yes, I wanted to do a 400 follower giveaway, but wasn't organized in time so I'm going to participate in the Quilting Gallery's Blog Hop Party.

I can't do a post without something quilty to show you so here are some more Su{Brrr}nova blocks. I'm loving this project!

I started a fourth block, but I ran out of one fabric mid-block, after making a silly cutting error (grrr!). I've located more of that precious fabric though so hopefully I'll have that block done soon. With luck, I'll have you completed quilt top to show you this week. :)

Have a fabulous weekend!
