CONTEST NOW CLOSED!
Before I decided to move my sewing room I'd been working on a few projects. Wanna see a sneak peak? I thought you might. It's a good thing I took these pictures before the move- I don't even know where this stuff is anymore! ;o)
A little while ago I got this crazy urge to applique. This is not a future COL pattern- y'all would kill me. But I do think it's going to turn out cool. If you happen to get a certain home decor magazine you may recognize the leafy shape a little. ;o) I show it off when I get it FINISHED!
I can't even stand it- this fabric is SO BEAUTIFUL! I mean, it's 3 Sister's, so why wouldn't it be. But just wait 'til you see 'Martinique' in the flesh/fabric. Oh, it melts me. ;o) I absolutely LOVE the project I'm making but haven't decided if it's another pattern or not. It's more traditional than COL patterns usually are- but I might throw this one in there just to mix it up a bit.
I've also been sewing with a little of this..
And a little of that!
But that's all I can show you for now.
So, how about a giveaway!?
While I was moving all of my STUFF down the hall I came across
14 Fat Quarters of 'Authentic' by Sweetwater for Moda
AND
A Layer Cake of 'Nature's Notebook' by April Cornell for Moda.Do YOU want it!?
Well, leave me a comment telling me what you wish Santa would bring you for Christmas and on Monday morning sometime I'll pick the winner's.
So far I have 2 prizes shown- but if I find more 'treasures' then I'll pick more winners!
GOOD LUCK!

I've asked Santa for a Pink Flannel Shirt.
Hmmmmmmmmm I'm thinking I want a stack of Authentic Fat Quarters for Christmas! :)
Dang I wasn't first, lol. Well I'd like Santa to bring me fabrics, fabrics and fabrics, oh quilting books as well... I know the quilting bug bite me real hard... We don't have enough quilting supplies here and I just hope he comes to me all the way from the North Pole!
I asked Santa for some red leather gloves! Ohhh...those treasures look very interesting - would love to win!
I would like Santa to bring me a new cutting mat because mine is warped from the sun - but I think he'll bring me new curtains instead because we need those more.....lol
i love the surprise of gifts in general. it fun to see what other people think you want/need. and then realizing they sometimes are right.
Humm haven't really had any time to give it any thought. I'll take anything quilt or sewing related though. I can't wait to see your finished projects.
I never really want anything for Christmas as I enjoy the "giving" part so much more. I guess you could call that my "gift."
I love the Authentic fabrics...they're wonderful, aren't they? How can you possibly bear to part with them>
oh my, I would pretty much die for that fat quarter stack of authentic! I asked Santa for some new sewing scissors!
Wow, I would love to have either of those! I want Santa to bring me a walking foot for my sewing machine. On a less literal note, if Santa could help me find a warm, loving home for a certain sweet stray kitty I've been feeding I'd appreciate it and I know he would too.
I know I just won a giveaway with you...which was amazing but I could not just come and not comment. I love what you are working on...and all of this and all of that.....I truly love your blog and for Christmas all I want is to see my boys....
I have asked santa for a fold away sewing table as sitting on the floor sewing is really starting to ache. Those fabrics are gorgeous, I'd love either. Thanks so much for the chance to win.
I asked Santa for a new pair of good scissors and the letter of acceptance into the college my DD wants to go too...it would make for a very happy Christmas around here! Of course fabric is always welcomed too!
wishing you a wonderful Holiday.

I have asked for a Cricut. I have dropped many a hint to Santa, but my chances are slim, I'm afraid!
What a wonderful giveaway - thank you! I always wish for more time, but I know that can never happen, so fabric is my next most wished for item on my Christmas list. - Marlene
I asked for a white picket fence around my flower garden for my birthday this summer...it hasn't happened yet so i'm putting it on my Christmas wish list. Actually, I got a new Bernina earlier this year so I don't need another thing! Would love to win those fat quarters.
I asked Santa for a healthy baby grandson and fat quarters to make him a great quilt!
I have asked Santa for one selfish gift and one not so selfish gift. My selfish gift is a new sewing machine. About to smash mine into tiny bitsy pieces! Could be user error but we'll blame the machine. My not so selfish gift is I have asked Santa (whith a little help from Jesus) to Please remove a brain tumor for lil Kate Mcrae. Her & her family are in my prayers nightly and they could really use some more.
I don't know what got into me, but I'd love a telescope. My entire family would enjoy it! Oh, and it's the only thing not sewing related on my list. LOL!!!
I really want a go-cutter but I think I'm settling on a new olfa lol!
I'd love to have something new to cut into too!!!
I'd really like a new sewing machine but would settle for a new motor for my old singer touch n sew. And I'd really like to get those Authentic fat quarters because I'm currently working on a quilt with that collection. I can't get enough of it.
I'm wishing for a time machine from Santa. Just a little time machine that will take me two years into the future when my boy will be home from his mission for our church (he leaves in 5 days). If I won some fat quarters or layer cakes it would make the time go faster in case I've been too naughty for a Santa visit and a time machine, lol! Cindy
I would like Santa to bring books! Surprises are great also!
I want Santa to bring me an unlimited supply of really great fabric.
I'd like santa to send me a new Bernina sewing machine!
All I want for Christmas is to have my family gathered around me. I so much enjoy having all of my children here for the holidays.
I asked Santa for some sewing books- but a stack of Fat quarters would be great.
I would love peace of mind weather we should move or not. We have only lived here for 2 years and the thought of moving again is just scary. On a lighter note, I would love lots and lots of fabric to play with, that would be fun!!
Thanks for sharing your fabric. I hope I can add it to my small stash.
Those pics are such a tease! Dear Santa, I really need a new robe. I'd like it to be snuggly and warm. If you don't have any already made, you can just send a bunch of pink chenille fabric instead. Thanks, Barby ;o)
I want santa to bring me a new sewing machine, fabric and quilting tools. I would LOVE to win
I am asking Santa for more vacation time so I can quilt!! :)
All I want for Christmas is my tooth front teeth. Fits in the airplane.
I can't wait to see what the finished product is from that Authentic material, it looks darling!
I would LOVE fabric so I can work on my many mentally planned projects :) I have LOTS of time with my honey deployed :) :) :)
Oh...pick me, pick me. I wish Santa would bring me a serger. I don't have one and it would be nice with making clothes for Janie. PICK ME!!!
I would like santa to sign me up for an applique class.. and maybe an imbroidary class.. Im new to the quilting scene and am trying to take in as much as I can!
~candace
hmm..a tough one, most of all, I would love santa to leave my husband's parents here for the week, lol. really! They're in Nevada, we're in Calgary, my kids are 2 and 4 this week and don't know them. That would mean the most to me..other than that- time alone! time to sew, knit, relax..and before 11pm please~!
you know what I want? Lots and lots of pretty fabric. Wanna help me out with that? =)
I really do love for Santa to surprise me!!More fun then knowing you will get something off a list, or for me anyway...;-)
I still have more work to do on my sewing room.
Love those fabbies!!
Lola
I would love the chance to win one of your wonderful prizes! I Santa to bring me a sparkly ring for Christmas, but I don't think he will - bah humbug.
For Christmas I want more time in my day... Since that isn't likely I will ask for a new rotary cutter.
Or maybe that bundle of Authentic fat quarters. YUM!
Do we get to see pics of your new work space?
Well, if I win Santa will bring me this fabric. But what I asked for is pinking shears.
A giveaway sounds great! I would like for Santa to bring me a laptop. He didn't cringe when I told him so I'm thinking I got a 50/50 shot.
I wish Santa would bring me Rouenneries or Astor Manor, from Moda. I'm loving this line. Now that I said it, it will come true, Right?
I'd truly love a housekeeper to clean up around me!!!! So that I can just sew all day - I'll have to anyway if I want to get my Grandson's first quilt finished for XMAS!!!
I've actually been hoping Santa would bring me Nature's Notebook fabric -- I'm in love with it!
Santa could bring me charm packs,jelly rolls and fat quarters! I did put on my list a Kona Color Chart, a Mini Iron and attachments and more bobbins!
I do not want much from Santa this year. I have a great family and we are together and that is what is important to me. We are an Army family so we have spent almost as many Christmases apart as we have together. I f I could be crazy and ask for anything tangible I would love to have some great new cookbooks to make my family some tasty treats. Ohh and a gift card for the commissary so I could buy the ingredients.
I really wish Santa would bring me some of the Figgy Pudding line or the Authentic Line ... really - not because that's one of the giveaways! My LQS was having a 25% sale today, but didn't have either line :( Please, Santa ... I've been good! :)
Love the fabric! I asked for a new iron, I am in desperate need due to an applique accident. Goo Gone can only clean stick off an iron so well. :)
I've asked for The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl... and it's on the way (along with what we ordered for my husband, we wanted to take advantage of free shipping!)
Some fabric would be nice as well of course!
oh my goodness!!!
those authentic fat quarters are SO calling my name.
what i really want for christmas is...
tickets to ireland.
that's not too much to ask, right???
lol.
I've asked Santa for 6 days of ME time! no kids, not a single phone call asking how much longer until you are back? Just 1 day every 2 months that I can do as I wish - if I want to go to walmart and be there for 3 hours I can... or go to LQS for a class... or even stay at home alone only me in the house for a minimum of 4 hours. Hey hubby can take the kids to the park and out to lunch right???
well, here's to hoping that Santa was really listening to me when I pitched my idea to him.... and if you couldn't tell, I'm a stay-at-home mom of a 5 year old and 2 year old twins - so I REALLY think I deserve this don't you? :P
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
Oh yes, for Christmas; my son-in-law is currently interviewing at five different hospitals. For Christmas I would like him and my only daughter to choose a location that is closer than the 1500 miles from us that they are now. I miss her so much.
Thanks for having this sweet give away!
This year I want lots of fun fabric! Really I don't care, but some fabric would be so dang fun! I haven't been too crafty lately, but that'll change within the next week or so, my baby is about to turn ONE!!
Oh, I want Santa to bring me the most precious gift of all, more time. Wouldn't that be wonderful especially at this time of year.
I love authentic!! I have the jelly roll, but would LOVE a fat quarter set! Great giveaway! :)
Thank you for sharing, and these look like fun! For Christmas, I want a jelly roll or two, and time to sew it up into fun creativity!
I love those fabrics, can I have THEM for Christmas?? ;-)
I am asking Santa for a netbook....
Thank you for the great giveaway!!

I love all things Authentic! They are such a great company - full of fun surprises. All I want for Christmas from Santa is my kids at home this year. However one will be in Texas with new wife and in-laws. But the other 4 will be here his year with lots of grandkids.

If Santa could read my mind, he'd bring me an extension table for my sewing machine. :-) But I think I'll just have to save my pennies and buy one myself. Lovely giveaway - I'd love those Authentic FQs!
I asked Santa for a new washer/dryer...
I also asked for unlimited monies for the fabric store...
I think I'll get the washer/dryer :) :) :)
I really don't need more "things." But a gift certificate to a quilt store so I can choose a "little of this" and a "touch of that" would certainly be appreciated! dsb448@att.net
I would sure like to have a clean house, but Santa doesn't vacuum, or do laundry except his own stuff for work...but a packet of wonderful fabric would sure bring a smile to my face! Please pick me!!
WOW! What a generous Giveaway!
I want Santa to bring MORE Fat Quarters!
I know that it is boring, but I want Santa to bring me a vacuum. My old one is not working anymore, and that is something that I do not want to buy.
Love to be in the draw for Lost Treasures....to spend some time with my husband...due to the nature of his work that is not always possible over the Christmas break...Warm Regards Lyn
I asked Santa for a peaceful day without fighting kids, but I'll settle for an hour or two. ;)
I would love for Santa to bring me a whole day free to quilt! And not being cheeky, but I've been wanting Authentic fabric as well.
is it too late?
I am hoping Santa brings me some cool fabrics, the new 100 quilt blocks mag that just came out... and maybe a new charm for my bracelet - but that my be over the top :)
I hope the moving is going good. I cant decide yet really what i want santa to bring. i always have such huge lists of wants :)
We need to get together soon
