Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day

Its giveaway day

I never really thought I would participate.  However, I really enjoy visiting all the sewing and quilting blogs.  So much great information is shared for free.  So many great giveaways.

Here is my mine.
 A little purse made with some Liberty of London scraps and Laura Gunn's painters canvas.  It measures approximately 6" x 6"
I used some fun stitching with heavy thread.  Who knows maybe there will be a little Liberty of London inside?

To enter just leave me a comment telling me if you would rather vacation in the mountains or at the beach. My choice is Glacier National Park with both mountains and lakes.
 I will leave the contest open until 8pm EST on Friday May 10th.  I will pick a random winner on Saturday.

The giveaway is closed.  Thanks to everyone that entered.  I will tally up the beach/mountains to see which one is more popular.

  1. O wow, this little pouch is beautiful! I'd rather vacation at both ~ but if I have to pick right now I'd say beach just because I want to lay in the sun and take a nap instead of go to work haha. I love hiking and trail jogging tho so mountains are great.

  2. Since I live in a place where I'm surrounded by trees, my preference is the beach, hands down! I get to go in three weeks to visit family and can't wait. Your little purse is adorable, and I noticed the SUPER CUTE stitching! Well done! Thank you for participating in the giveaway!

  3. It has to be the beach! Warm sea, salt air, sun on your face, fantastic!

  4. I think since I live on the top of a hill, I'd choose the beach. I love to walk along the water...not necessarily swim...and sunrises and sunsets...awesome! Thanks for a chance to win. I want to make one of these eventually!

  13. I love vacationing in the mountains. Perhaps it's 'cause there aren't any mountains where I live.

  14. I love vacations where I can combine both - like Costa Rica - but I would go with the beach if I had to choose just one. I just LOVE swimming in the sea.

  19. Hmmm... that's a tough one. I guess it would depend on the time of year. I am a huge beach fan, but the mountains can be lots of fun too! Maybe Lake Tahoe in the summer because then you have the best of both! :)

  24. Oh wow - that pouch is gorgeous. Thank you for a chance to win :)

    I grew up at the ocean and although there is a certain peace that comes with lapping waves, my head feels more grounded in the mountains and then I truly relax.

  34. I'm really lucky to live where I do. It's in the mountains - ski slope is a short walk away - and a 5 minute car ride brings you to a beautiful lake. I love it right where I am. And I love your bag! I've been meaning to try one using a purse frame.

  57. Is there a way to vacation near the beach and the mountains? Hawaii maybe? But, if I must choose, a beach with sufficient shade and the ocean is warm enough to swim in.

  82. I prefer the mountains over the beach. We went more often to the mountains when I was a kid so I wonder if that is why. But I also like the shade better than the sun so that is better in the mountains.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I'm a beach girl. We have mountains a plenty where I live so its always nice to go somewhere different and soak up some sun.
