Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!
It’s Giveaway Day and I nearly completely missed it! I’m behind on my blog reading, that’s my excuse. This week is my last week at work. I’m emigrating to Canada from here in the UK in a few weeks and moving out of my house in less than two. My sewing machine has sold (I think… yep, it’s off eBay already sorry to those who were here yesterday) and I’m going to be getting on people’s nerves for at least a few weeks while I don’t know what to do with myself and don’t have private space any more.
So!
A hugely unimaginative prize up for grabs – a half yard of each of these Cotton + Steel Backgammon prints by Melody Miller (yep I know I was destashing them only in yesterday’s post).
I’ll also throw in the December issue of Popular Patchwork magazine. It features my Chandelier quilt pattern…
To enter to win, leave me a comment and for extra entries you can follow my blog, follow me on Instagram (@pennydog) or follow Patterns to Print on Facebook (a project I am helping to work on) and if you do any/all of those things, please leave an additional comment for each one to be entered into the draw. Following me on FB doesn’t count, sorry.
Winner will be drawn the morning of Monday 14th December (GMT) to allow all time zones to have finished their Sundays and get their entries in. International entries welcome.
If you don’t know what to say in your comment, maybe tell me one of your quilting goals for next year.
Go back to Sew Mama Sew here!

I would like to have a blue/white queen-sized quilt finished next year. I need to get it quilted and then decide on the binding. Just love Cotton and Steel fabric. So, thank you for being a part of the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day and the chance to win those 1/2 yards of the Backgammon prints along with a copy of this awesome magazine. Looks like some great ideas, among them being your own quilt. Happy Holidays to you.

My main quilting goal is to set up my new sewing room so I can sit down and sew (hopefully a Christmas quilt for next year!) any time I have an extra few minutes.
