Enough, already! How about a Give-Away?

Time to move along.  In my quest to reach an acceptable level of Feng Shui in my house, I am going through my books - especially my LARGE and diverse reference and research library.  I am a self-proclaimed book junkie impulse book buyer.  Baaaaaad combination.  Bad for me = Good for you!

This is a great book for sewers of all levels.  It has wonderful gift ideas and is a lovely, hardbound book with lots of photographs and a wide variety of projects.  It is also very similar to at least two others I have.  Sigh.


To be tossed in the fray for this book, just leave a comment of any kind below.  It doesn't have to deal with sewing - it can deal with sunrises, sunsets, guinea hens, or horseback riding.  Anything you feel like.  The deadline is Thursday, and I will be drawing and announcing the winner on Friday.

Nancy - I can never resist one, although I am going to have to start trying to resist!

MF - You are in!

Kim - It's such a burden, right? There are a lot of great ideas in this book. I don't dare open it again...

Hi, I read your blog regularly, sewing and crafts are things I enjoy this book looks very interesting. I live on an acreage in Oklahoma. We no longer have animals just cut the grass for hay to be sold. Please add my name in the give away. Frances an Okie

Guinea hens are noisy and I wouldn't want any but I would LOVE the chance to win the book! :)

Susan said...

Lisa - Well, it should give you something besides soggy boots and a cold!

Candy - Yes, but they are so...prehistoric!

Oooh, wow! I keep saying I want to learn how to sew, and this is the second sewing reference I've seen today. Added to a few others I happened upon over the last week. A sign, perhaps? (I've never been good at taking a hint ;) Thanks for the chance to win!

Jaime - A very good skill to have! Of course, do as I say, not as I do. I am not that skilled.

I need another book like I need another hole in the head but, hey... that 'last minute' in the title sparks my interest. I seem to fall into the 'last minute gift' type of person.

I would love to win this book. I am always looking for new crafts to do. I am doing a cross stitch for a friend right now that I will turn into a quilted wall hanging.

Last minute fabric crafts?? Count me IN!!

Jenyfer Matthews said...

I have enough fabric to open my own shop - enough to keep me awake at night worrying about what to do with it all. The idea of fabric gifts? Perfect!!!

Quick and easy sewing projects? Woohoo! I think I have the same issue that Kim has, I've never met a book I didn't like. lol

Erin said...

Leave me out, I have 2 quilts I'm supposed to be working on LOL, but will be a great book for whoever gets it!

I may have missed the deadline, but that book sure looks interesting. My current project is a lap afghan and homemade ornaments for next Christmas.

Don't want the book, just seeing if I can comment. ;^)
