For Sew Mama Sew giveaway day, I have two giveaways to offer! I'm sharing yardage, scrap packs, and some swag from the Mid-Atlantic Mod retreat last month. :)

First up: this pack contains a purple fabric scrap pack (sharing the love of my favorite color), a little less than a half yard of the diamond print, two fat quarters (swirly purple Cocoon print and the pink print), a large scrap of Soul Blossoms by Amy Butler, and handmade-by-me key fob.
The second pack contains a yellow scrap pack, a True Luck mini charm pack, a charm pack of Basic Brights and Pastels from Windham, two rolls of washi tape from Cloud 9 Fabrics (love!!!), and a handmade-by-me keychain.
This
giveaway is open to everyone in the whole wide world.
On Sunday, May 10th at 9 pm EST, I will choose two winners using the Random Number Generator.
To enter:
1.
Leave a comment about what you think you'd be doing if you weren't
crafting in your free time. I definitely have joined the Sweet Adelines,
which is an international woman's barbershop singing group (bet you didn't know I sang
barbershop - bass voice part - for three years in high school! Any fellow barbershop singers out there?). I just can't make the quilt guild AND singing group commitment! I'd be
reading a LOT more, too. Don't get me wrong though - I chose sewing for a reason. Because I freaking love it. :)
2. Leave a second comment if you are a follower of mine - you'll get a second chance (just let me know: Bloglovin, Feedly, Instagram, FB, etc.)
Thanks and have fun hopping!
P.S. I usually respond to all the comments that leave email addresses but I will be unable to respond to each person during the giveaway. Thanks for understanding!

If I weren't quilting, I would probably be cooking a lot more. And maybe also volunteering somewhere. But I can now give back by making warm quilts for folks in nursing homes, that are veterans, and for kids in hospitals. Doing something I love and making a difference? Nothing better in life.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog via my Blogger Dashboard.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably work more!
ReplyDeleteI'd be reading! And probably getting more exercise. . .oops
ReplyDeleteI follow you via Feedly!
ReplyDeleteBoth prizes are awesome!!! Gosh, if I wasn't quilting in my spare time, I think that I'd like to learn how to play a musical instrument like a guitar, sax, or violin.
ReplyDeleteI'm following you via Bloglovin!!
ReplyDeleteI'd be doing needed decluttering! but sewing is more fun.
ReplyDeleteIf I weren't quilting I'd be playing more music and possibly morris dancing! No kidding!

ReplyDeleteSo. If I wasn't quilting I would probably go back to knitting. Good fun as well but it takes me sooo much longer to make a lovely blanket...

ReplyDeleteI definitely wouldn't be singing, that's for sure, because I doubt anyone would want to hear that, lol! But in all honesty, I couldn't imagine my life without crafting. I also like photography, though and plants...so I suppose there would be something or other ;) Many thanks for the chance to win! Both bundles are fab!
ReplyDeleteWould probably read even more than I do and have the grandkids over.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win
I'd be dancing more. (I'm a bellydancer.)
ReplyDeleteCooking ,dancing and watching movies!
ReplyDeleteI would be driving race cars. Had to give it up and sewing was my alternative.

ReplyDeleteIf I weren't quilting all the time, I'd be working on my scrapbooks, something I haven't done in about 5 years. Thanks for the opportunity to win your awesome giveaway. Those key chains look like exactly what I need, along with that lovely fabric.
ReplyDeleteI'm a long-time follower who would love to win your awesome giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI would be reading more - fun reading. In nursing school they don't give us much time for anything, including sewing - but that is what I prefer to spend my few minutes on. You have great bundles up there. I just got through talking with my quilt guild about how hard it is to find good purples. I just finished a purple and blue quilt and probably have the largest selection due to that. We all seem to be lacking in that great color.

ReplyDeleteI would be doing more reading!
ReplyDeleteUm, I would probably be annoying my husband...

ReplyDeleteI'd be losing my mind without my creative outlet, and refuge from less than glamorous moming activities.

ReplyDeleteI would be doing more schoolwork ;)
ReplyDeleteId probably have a clean house if I wasn't crafting!
ReplyDeleteSewing is starting to take up more and more of my time but so far I'm loving it. If I had more time I'd probably be reading more (currently just on my commute to and from work) and spend even more time in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI follow on feedly!
ReplyDeleteIf I weren't sewing I'd be reading miree, even though I still read a lot! Thanks for the great giveaway!

ReplyDeletewell I think i would be searching for something to do. That is what I did before just kept trying to find a hobby then one day quilting! bam never looked back!
ReplyDeleteTaking more photos. I love photography. I guess that's kinda crafty, but not really...
ReplyDeleteIf I wasn't quilting. I guess I would be cleaning the house

ReplyDeleteI'm drooling over the purple bundle you put together, so very pretty. If i weren't crafting I would be cooking, taking random road trips, reading or gardening in the summer. Wait a minute... I do all that anyway! You've got to keep your life fun.
ReplyDeleteI used to date someone that sang in a barbershop quartet so I know about the Sweet Adelines and always wished I could sing. My voice would drive small animals to hide if I sang. I do have a question. Why don't people who can sing do so in random places like the grocery store? I always hear people who can't sing singing in public but rarely do I hear someone who can sing. it always makes me smile when I hear them. Just curious.
I've been a follower via bloglovin for quite some time.
ReplyDeleteWhen I don't quilt, I run, or play computer games, or hang out with my cats nad boyfriend and our best pal Netflix ;) Thanks for the chance to win! stephmabry-at-yahoo-dot-com
ReplyDeleteIf I weren't a quilter, I think I'd have more time for yoga and hiking. They were my pre-quilting hobbies :-)

ReplyDeleteHonestly, I don't have a ton a free time at all. I am a mother of 3 year old twins, I go to school full time, I am a wife, and I work part time. What little free time I do have I usually sew. If I am not sewing, I am reading.
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine not crafting or quilting. I suppose I would be cooking all of the time as I do like to bake. Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
ReplyDeletewell i'd have a different job if i didn't quilt - i work at the National Quilt Museum! love these.

If I weren't quilting, I'd be reading even more than already do. Maybe I'd exercise more but I'm not sure. Thank you for opportunity.
ReplyDeleteHi Jess: I follow you on bloglovin and look forward to all of your posts. You are so talented and enthusiastic. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe vast majority of my sewing (time wise) is doing EPP on the lounge of an evening, usually with the television. Before I took up sewing, I was reading at that time instead......and at the rate I read, I can assure that this sewing habit is waaaay cheaper! Love that purple mix of yours, it's my favourite colour.
ReplyDeleteAnd I follow you on bloglovin, and enjoy the obvious enthusiasm you bring to crafting :)
ReplyDeleteIf I wasn't crafting I'd be bothering my poor dog more! He just wants to relax
ReplyDeleteand i follow on IG (winstontbeagle)
ReplyDeleteI would be reading more (I used to read 110+ books a year, now I'm only around 75/yr) and making CAKES! Fancy cakes, yummy desserts, etc.
ReplyDeleteAnd I stage managed a women's barbershop festival once. That was awesome.

ReplyDeleteIf I didn't spend most of my time sewing, reading about sewing, shopping for sewing, or looking at pictures of sewing I'd like to think I would be one of the most fit people out there!! (Or at least 10 pounds thinner!!)

ReplyDeleteIf I was not crafting? I can't imagine that is possible ...... well I think I would read, and visit craft sites on the web!
ReplyDeleteI hope I'd be doing some much needed decluttering... but who am I kidding??? I'd more like be out buying more fabric!
ReplyDeleteSo I started quilting when I was pregnant with my first...and it really does help keep me sane despite all the chaos around, so without it I'd probably be going crazy. Also I was a much more active photographer before getting into quilting, so I might do that.
ReplyDeleteI would read more and play more video games. I have several games that need more attention and and ebook library on my ipad that is very neglected.
ReplyDeleteWhen I don't sew I read or knit so I always have something to do in my "free time".
ReplyDeleteIf I were not sewing I would definitely read more. And would have time to learn all those foreign languages I've started studying but never got too far with.

ReplyDeleteIf I wasn't quilting, I would get in to scrappy rug making. I haven't done it yet, but I know it's coming. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway. If I wasn't sewing, then I would definitely be reading more since I love to read as much as I love to sew.
ReplyDeleteIf I wasn't crafting (i.e. quilting) in my spare time, I guess I would be doing housework and have a much cleaner home, lol.
ReplyDeleteIf I weren't crafting in my spare time, I'd most likely be reading. And still not doing housework! :D

ReplyDeleteI would probably be reading
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't sew I think I would read more and watch less tv too! i'm trying to do audiobooks so I don't miss out on reading when I sew.
ReplyDeleteAside from sewing I do a lot of drawing - does that count as crafting? Otherwise reading. Lots of reading.
ReplyDeleteahh reading of course ... the thing that is my worst addiction ... even worse than sweing ...
ReplyDeleteI would be reading a lot more and probably going to a class to learn Russian

ReplyDeleteIf I weren't sewing/quilting, I would be learning how to cook.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading. I just got back from the library with a book I had placed on hold. I'm late coming to the party on the Bennie Harper mysteries and I now can start on "Sunshine and Shadow".

Hi Jessica, I subscribe to your Feedly blogs.
ReplyDeleteanndunn24(at)gmail.com
Oh my word, what fun it would be to be in the Sweet Adelines....maybe when I retire? LOL I guess the answer to your question is I would be doing a better job of making a living, if I weren't distracted by my quilting. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! If I weren't sewing, hopefully I'd be reading, but more than likely I'd be baking. And eating. Baking is awesome, except that I eat a large portion of what I bake. Quilting keeps me out of the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI follow you blog via e-mail and have been enjoying your quilty style!
ReplyDeleteFun question! I would be reading even more, biking more miles and maybe making dinner more often for my long-suffering husband. (You never know.)
ReplyDeleteI follow the blog via email. I'm sorry you have had to give up singing for now.
