I'm excited to participate in SMS Giveaway Day today! If you're new to my blog, I'm Jess and I love quilts, color, mixing fabric lines, leading my Modern Quilt Guild, flying by the seat of my pants, and quilting on my home machine. My current large project (amongst a billion WIPs and side projects) is my original design medallion quilt. I have several exciting projects and online collaborations coming up that I'm super excited about! My goal is always to "keep it real" around here, and I adhere to the "it's my party and I'll blog if I want to" idea (ie Instagram is fabulous but only to a point, in my opinion). Maybe I need a button :D Anyway, enough about that... the giveaway:
I recently acquired some beautiful, soft Indian Summer cuts (Sarah Watson for Art Gallery) and the awesome Zen Chic barcodes (Comma). All four are fat eighths (a couple are about an inch bigger) - a nice little bundle for a lucky winner. The barcodes even kind of go with the Indian Summer. :) For the next big giveaway day, I would like to make a handmade item; I just didn't have a chance to make something this time 'round.
For a chance to win the fabric, tell me where you would live if you could - whether it be on this earth, or a certain time period, or a place in a story or movie. Personally, I would be more than a happy hobbit if I could just hang out in Hobbiton for the rest of my life, enjoying good food, friends, and flowers.
Details:
One comment/answer per person. Followers get an extra chance - just throw in a second comment and tell me how you follow! I will ship internationally. The giveaway closes on Friday, May 16 at 8pm EST. I will choose a winner via the Random Number Generator (or another creative way if I can muster up the energy on Friday), and I will email them! I usually respond to all comments but giveaways get overwhelming, so I may not get to them all.
Have fun clicking around blogland and entering giveaways on Sew Mama Sew! Thanks for your continued support of my blog. :)
I'd like living in "the good old days" ..... though that changes with every story/memory I tell, as to exactly when the best days were ........ but today's not a bad place to be either (most of the time!)
ReplyDeleteI'd be very happy living in the San Francisco from Nalini Singhs Psy/Changeling series.

ReplyDeleteFun fabric. I'm pretty happy in the present but I think the 50's and 60's might have been fun to experience.
ReplyDeleteI follow you on Feedly!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd also be happiest in the present but I do think living in the Caribbean during the pirate reign around the turn of the 17th century would have been fascinating. Though as a lady I'd hope to be there under strictly business circumstances and I like to believe I'd have made a darn good lady pirate.
ReplyDeleteIf you're gonna be a Hobbit, I want to be one too--so long as I get to have a sewing machine ;-) Also, hobbits don't have to shave, right? BIG plus, haha...and they eat all the time! Yeah, I'm totally there.
ReplyDeleteI follow/borderline stalk you through various avenues.
ReplyDeleteI could quite happily live in the Shire, I'm only 5 ft tall so wouldn't even have to duck going through the doorways into Hobbit homes!
ReplyDeleteI'd live in the Caribbean (probably Bonaire) so I could SCUBA dive more often!
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics. Love this question but I don't know the answer! I love Jane Austen novels and the romance of them but the reality of draughty houses and terrible plumbing is no fun - I'm a bit of a realist! I'm quite happy living in the here and now although to enjoy life before children again could be great!
ReplyDeleteI would live somewhere on the beach on Lake Michigan. I currently live about 40 miles from the beach - best place in the world. thanks for a chance to win.

ReplyDeleteI would love to live half the year in Europe and half the year here in New Zealand. 6 months in each European city would be my idea of a perfect life. As a bonus it would also be a perpetual summer.
ReplyDeleteI would live in Southern England in a small town, about 60 years ago before cells and computers and such the like!
ReplyDeleteI have always dreamt of living in New York. I actually live in New Zealand, and the hobbiton film set is about 2 hours away. Come for a visit.
ReplyDeleteI am happy with where I am right now, although moving to the beach some day would be nice!
ReplyDeleteI have been following you on bloglovin for a few months
ReplyDeleteFirst thing I thought of was "Anne of Green Gables"--that time, that place, and at that pace. We live a quiet country life in the Pacific Northwest, so it wouldn't be a h-u-g-e change, but I think the "peaceful" and "slow-paced" aspects would be magnified, which sounds so good to me.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind living on a tropical island where it is warm all year long....as long as there were no hurricanes! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI follow you with Bloglovin!
ReplyDeleteI follow you via email, and I love seeing your projects--I learn a lot from your choices of color and design.
ReplyDeleteThe roaring '20s might be fun! I love the style of dress back then!
ReplyDeleteLove following you!
ReplyDeleteI would live with the elves.
ReplyDeleteI would live somewhere warm and near the ocean! I lived in the San Francisco area for several months, and it was so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI would live in Alaska again. I love it up there!

Hobbiton sounds wonderful to me, too, but I would also love to love by the ocean. I love the sound of the waves breaking on the beach. Thanks for the chance to win your beautiful fabric!
ReplyDeleteDefinetly in a different time pieriod where life was simpler and moms stayed home
ReplyDeleteI would like to live someplace just slightly warmer and by the ocean, maybe like Sacramento or Washington state.

ReplyDeleteGreat question - I think I would like to live as a pioneer woman - living off the land and making all my own things like candles, rag rugs, clothes from potato sacks!!!
ReplyDeleteYay I am a GFC follower :) Happy giveaway week!!!
ReplyDeleteWe've had our chance to relocate when we retire, and we've chosen to live right where we are, near Sun Valley, Idaho! We live in the mountains, have fantastic winters, gorgeous summers, short springs, and unbelievable falls. And the people are the nicest you'll find anywhere. Yep - I'm okay right where I am!
ReplyDeleteI already follow you with Bloglovin'. And speaking of lovin', those prints would be perfect with a fat quarter of Indian Summer I picked up 'just because'. :)
ReplyDeleteI would go home and live in New Zealand, Titirangi Auckland - I think will be my destination :-) Close to beaches, the bush and then also close to the city.

ReplyDeleteI think I would like to live in England or Scotland as my family came from there, maybe in the 50's or 60's.
ReplyDeleteAfter this last North Dakota winter anywhere warm, like Hawaiii. Although the shire would be a nice place, I would choose Rivendell.
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics!!! I would enjoy living right where I do , in Michigan.
ReplyDeletejeanieheath@charter.net
Such gorgeous pretties!! If I could live anywhere it would be right where I am now, I have a loving family, and great friends, I don't think there is anything much better than that!
ReplyDeleteI follow you using Blogtrottr :)
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna cheat and say I'd like to live in the Tardis- that way I can visit any when/anywhere. I'm too flighty to commit to any one time or place! Then again, in one Heinkein book there was a planet where all the best fictional characters mingled with the "real" folks, I'd like to go there, too. Thanks for the fun question, and the giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteNow that's an interesting question! Somewhere warm, but with easy access to winter conditions so I can still go snowshoeing sometimes. Oh, and I love dragons, so maybe they could live with me too? Pretty sure I'd have to create my own world! Those fabrics are so pretty.

ReplyDeleteI like living in the present but I would love to live closer to my grand children or they lived closer to me,
ReplyDeleteI have been following you via bloglovin for a while now.
ReplyDeleteThat's an easy question, I would love to live in a house right by the ocean, preferably a really wild part of the coastline as I just love to watch the waves crashing in. With a giant window in my sewing room overlooking it all of course!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower already via Blogger. Thanks for a lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI'd live on a quiet cul de sac where all my college friends lived as well. We'd be able to spend as much or as little time together as possible! Can you tell we're all spread out and don't see each other often enough?!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your generous giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI would live right where I'm planted--in Woolly Hollow State Park in Greenbrier, Arkansas. This beautiful little lake and state park has been home for 35 years. Why live somewhere else? My children and grandchildren live close. It is paradise. Anywhere my family is would be paradise.
