Welcome to week 19 of the sew along!

We had 21 entries this week and the winner of the Monsterz fat quarter bundle is #1, The Patchsmith!

My computer died yesterday from a power surge and I’m working on a new one, so I’ve lost all of my programs, including Photoshop where I uploaded the random.org picture.

So you’ll just have to trust me that it is indeed #1!

Thank you Cloud 9 for the beautiful bundle of fabric!

Welcome to week 7!

We’ve completed the first quarter of the sew along and today I have an extra prize to share!

First take a peek at some of the magnets from last week:

This was a challenging project because of the tiny size (1.5″) of each magnet.

I know several of you really pushed yourselves with this project and I’m glad to see you stepping out of your comfort zone and growing your sewing skills!

Let’s see who won the giveaway for this week. We had 34 entries for week 6 and our winner is #3, Lish, Sew Wunderful!

Congratulations Lish and thank you to Sew Mama Sew for sponsoring this giveaway!

Okay, now I have another winner to announce!

Amy and I decided to break the sew along into 4 quarters and give away a prize at the completion of each quarter.

That way if you weren’t able to meet the weekly giveaway deadline, you still had a chance to win a prize if you linked up your project for that quarter before the 6 weeks were up.

Fat Quarter Shop has graciously offered a $75.00 gift certificate to our 1st quarter winner!

For the first 6 weeks of the sew along we had 322 projects linked up!! Woohoo!

Our winner of the 1st quarter giveaway is #101, Danielle Raichel with her pincushion from week 3. Isn’t it cute?

Congratulations and thank you to the Fat Quarter Shop! Our next quarterly giveaway will be at the completion of week 12.
