National Sewing Month

In celebration of National Sewing Month, I have located a few giveaways for those feeling particularly lucky.

Fat Quarter Shop's Jolly Jabber blog is hosting month-long giveaways http://fatquartershop.blogspot.com/

Diary of a Sewing Fanatic promises month-long giveaways.

Pamkittymorning giveaway - Fat Quarter Shop has generously supplied a FQS Curated Bundle of Buffalo Check Carolina Gingham from Robert Kaufman as a prize to one of my fine blogging friends. 

C&T Publishing (Your Home for Creative Quilting and Sewing) is hosting a rafflecopter giveaway http://www.ctpub.com/

Well, we're giving away not one, but three books, plus three fat quarter bundles to match!  Because I Love You Sew, Perfect Patchwork Bags, and Sew Home are the prefect complements to a Moda Country Orchard Fat Quarter Bundle, a Moda Compositions Basic Grey Fat Quarter Bundle, and a Dear Stella Desert Bloom Bundle. Enter here: a Rafflecopter giveaway. Open to US residents only; winner will be announced one week from now on the blog. 

Who knew there was a sewing fiction genre for books? Carole at frommycarolinahome has highlighted a few books on that theme.

Those who quilt and sew really are busy all year long making magic with material and thread. While my focus of late has been quilting, I do look forward to using one of my many patterns to make a fifties-style dress.

Which brings me to the Pattern of the Day, a 1960 Simplicity 1570, I'll take that aqua-colored one!
