The fabric on the left is a cute Robert Kaufman print. Who doesn't love cats and sewing! The top right is the laminated cotton and I just love the bird print on the bottom right...Isn't it adorable? |

Now that I have posted all the giveaway winners, I can tell you about my morning at Joann's! Our store was just renovated(and boy, did it need it!) So for three days they are having a great sale. The first fifty people each day receive a $5 gift card. Add in the fact that I had a 50% off one item coupon, and I had a fun morning! I have been seeing all of these great patterns for lunch bags and pool bags that are lined with laminated cotton BUT it is expensive and I wonder how it sews so this was a great opportunity to try it out. The fabric was $13 a yard, but half that price and add in the $5 card so the total cost was $1.50! Who can beat that? And I think it is gorgeous! I also found a couple cute fabrics to make some small bags that I couldn't resist. Great shopping...I only spent $7.93 and have some really cute stuff to work with!

Would you believe another giveaway?
One is good, two is better, and I guess three is best! While I was going through all of my patterns and such, I realized that I had a bunch for little girls dresses that no longer will fit my granddaughter(Most are size 1-4). Why keep them when I can have a giveaway and someone who can use them can win! So I will stuff as many patterns in a flat envelope as I can and send it on to the winner! Here are some of the patterns I found.
How do you win? Just leave a comment, any comment will do but I do love hearing about sewing for kids and their reactions! For a second chance, follow my blog and comment that you do. For a third chance, mention the giveaway(s) on your blog and let me know that you did! Giveaway ends June 28th at midnight with the winner chosen on the 29th.

Another Giveaway!
I figure that if one giveaway is good, then two must be better! So here is a giveaway open to all! It is a cute little ironing mat that I made using Stephanie's tutorial at Sewing by Stephanie. It is bright and cheery. I had fun making it and it is thick so should be good for ironing. This sure makes it easier to press your quilt pieces! The photos aren't the greatest but I hope you can get an idea how it looks. The mat is 30" X 18".
How do you win it? Just leave a comment about a book you love! Since I got my Kindle Fire, I read even more than I did so I love to hear about new books! For a second chance, follow me and comment that you do. For a third chance, mention the giveaway(s) on your blog and add a comment that you did! The giveaway will end at midnight June 28th The winner will be chosen on the 29th. Be sure that I have a way to get in touch with you.
