A crafty little atelier in a grey city

SMS Giveaway Winner!

December 10, 2012

Good morning! Last week, I participated in the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway event and we have a winner! I used a random number generator and the lucky recipient of the Heather Ross Book and Fabric combo is #157, Jeana S.! Congrats, Jeana and please email me your address. I hope you enjoy the book and fabric – I’ve got a pretty little package ready to be shipped.

I made a little felt flower and the olive leaf ribbon is from Paper Source. I love this ribbon and am having a ribbon and twine moment right now.

My first giveaway was so fun, I am planning on making giveaways a regular feature around here. Thank you to everyone who joined in, and I loved reading all the comments. Naturally, the favorite crafts were sewing and quilting, with knitting and baking close behind. Spinning was an unexpected and intriguing craft that I never even thought of trying. Must look into that. Plus, I am thrilled to have discovered so many cool new-to-me blogs.

I’ll be back tomorrow with some more craftiness.

I just realized that this week marks 10 years sinc I just realized that this week marks 10 years since my first craft book Sewing Happiness was published. I’ve sewn literally thousands of garments and other textile projects in the last decade! I included a Sashiko primer in the book, and I’m delighted that this humble Japanese embroidery practice has stood the test of time - if anything, I’ve noticed that there’s an ever growing enthusiasm for hand stitching. Fun news: I’ll be teaching a virtual Sashiko workshop for @tatterbluelibrary on Thursday, April 30th at noon ET. Link in profile! Would love to see you there! 💙💙💙💙💙
