How about a Giveaway?

Before I was consumed by the busyness of May I made these sewing kits. I won the pattern a while back and finally got around to making the pattern. It was created by Lee at MayChappell.com.
I made three.  I made the pink one for my mom for Mother's Day. The one in the center I made for my friend Judy. The blue one I made for myself.
I waited to show these off to you because I was waiting on my friend, Judy, to finish weaving a new rug for me. I got the rug the other day. It is done in browns to go with my new braided rug in my morning room. She now has her sewing kit.
She has two kitties and she loves pumpkins so this fabric was perfect for her kit. I really wanted to use it on the outside of the kit but because it is a directional fabric it wouldn't work. I only had a fat quarter to work with too.
Keep on reading to find out about the giveaway.

And speaking of giveaways. I won these wonderful charms packs from Fort Worth Fabric Studio. So pretty.
This past weekend I harvest some onions. I probably pulled them up a little too soon but I wanted to make room to plant some more seeds. I also harvested some garlic which is hanging to dry.
Here is a new photo of this cute little guy, my grandson. Adorable, right?
Now for the giveaway. You have a chance to win the sewing kit pattern, a fat quarter, and enough quilter's vinyl to make the zippered pocket. You can't see it but it has the purple tab on it. It will be inside the pattern. I will pick a winner for the giveaway on Saturday. No need to jump through hoops for a chance. Just leave any old comment. Maybe you could tell me if you were to win would you make more than one sewing kit.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

I really do need to make myself a sewing kit. I just finished crocheting some new cases to keep my hooks tidy, one for steels and one for aluminum. I should add sewing kits to my list of handmade gift ideas, too.

Rebecca said...

I would make at least one... and then depending on how complicated I managed to make it I might make 12 for the birthdays of the sewing circle I play with.

Tanya Quilts in CO said...

A sewing kit is on my to do list. Thanks!

Vicki H said...

Definitely would make one for myself and then maybe for my sister. Thanks.

sophie said...

It would make a great product for my guild's booth/gift shop at their quilt show, so ... I would make one for me and at least one for the guild. What a cute pattern.

Kay said...

I would love the pattern. I have lots of quilter friends who I bet would love to be surprised by the gift of one.

Kathy H said...

Great pattern. I would probably make more than one. I have been wanting to make one for my sister-in-law. And one for me too.

LJ said...

Absolutely, he is an adorable baby! Yes, I would make more than just one sewing kit - additional ones for my sister and also for my granddaughter. Thanks for a chance to win.

Mary on Lake Pulaski said...

Your grandbaby is just the cutest Carrie! How fun!

Unknown said...

Would love to win the pattern. I would love to make the kit for both of my daughters. Both have gotten into quilting and it is such a joy to share this common bond. Have fun with your Grandbaby! They grow even faster than your children!

Carla said...

Beautiful sewing kits. Not sure how many I would make ; )

Unknown said...

Your grandson is so cute - we are expecting our 5th grandbaby end of July - yey! I had no idea that these little guys would change my life so much but they did and still do - and we love it!!
I would really like to make a needlework book for myself and I would make one for my daughter too. Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity.

I would probably make 2 at a time. It is just as easy to cut out 2 of each size than to start from scratch on the next one. Yours are really beautiful Carrie!

Hazel said...

The grand baby is darling! Are you training him for sewing? The pattern is lovely and I would like to have one to make and to give.

NADINE said...

Oh, this giveaway would be so handy for me !
Actually, I've got two daughters who are no sewing fans. Yet they often complain about not having some sewing basic items, once their kids need some repairs on their clothes, etc... This would be an ideal and useful present I'd make for them ... Plus, of course, one for me :))
So thanks for giving us a chance to win this lovely pattern.

In stitches,
NADINE

Grandchildren are such a joy! I would definitely make more kits and set them aside for Christmas gifts! :)

VickiT said...

I first have to say what an adorable little guy and his little fishy shirt is just too cute.

The Sewing Kit pattern is one I have on my wish list of things to buy. I need one of those myself and had been thinking it would make a great gift for my MIL for Christmas. Also, I thought it would be a great thing to make for my sons. They don't sew, but occasionally they do have to sew a button on something and by having one of these handy, they'd have everything they'd need in one spot. So yes, I would definitely make more than one of these kits. Finding the time would be my biggest problem. LOL

Donna W said...

I would make more than one. These would make great gifts for my quilting buddies.

Anonymous said...

I would love to win this and I would at least make a few as presents.

Siouxzq64@gmail.com said...

Your sewing kit is fabulous. I have never grown onions maybe I should give it a try.

Sharon B said...

What a cute pattern! Love the fabrics you selected. It would be wonderful to win this pattern for me and to make a few gifts.

MamaT said...

I would make one for a Christmas exchange I'm involved with. Maybe two!

Teresa in Music City said...

What a great sewing tool! I would love to make a few of these for my friends as gifts. We are always making little things for each other, and this sewing kit would be perfect! Not to mention - I'm seriously in need of one of my own!!! Thanks for sharing your kits and offering the giveaway.

Mara said...

Rebecca in AK said...

Your little grandson is just precious!! He looks so happy! I would love to win the sewing kit pattern. I will be starting my DD2 applique quilt pretty soon and it will probably be a take along project, so the sewing kit would really be helpful. The second one would probably be part of our guild's silent auction this year. It would be a big hit I think! Love the rug your friend made!

barbara woods said...

would love to win, thanks . i would make it

Diann said...

I like the idea of making one for myself and one or more for gifts. So that's what I would do.

Every year, my quilting guild has a couple of events where we each prepare a hand-made gift for our exchange. I always do a sewing theme--generally a sewing project organizer. This would be a great pattern to use for my exchanges! Thanks for sharing the pattern information too!

Helen said...

My DIL is always looking for small projects as gifts for her MOPS (Moms of Pre Schoolers) group. This would be great for her and I to work on.

I probably would make more than one. One for me and one for my quilting buddy, Judy. My youngest daughter, who just moved to Ireland, has used the one I gave her twice already. They are handy little items.

Thanks for sharing, Carrie. Your little sewing kits are adorable. I usually stick all my stuff in a ziplock bag.

Your grandson is such a handsome little guy. I know you must be over the moon.

Hi Carrie
Popping in to say hello! It has been awhile...life it happens or shall I say lack of? Living in a fog these days that hopefully clears real soon. I think of you often and hope at some point we connect. It is already the middle of the year!

Wendy said...

your kits are lovely! I'd definitely PLAN to make more than one as they would be really useful... whether I managed to find time or not, I don't know!

valerie boudier said...

Jackie said...

I would love the pattern and would make one for myself and my best friend. We both love to sew hexagon so it would be perfect for keeping our bits together

I just bought some vinyl from joann yesterday! I figured it would be helpful for many projects, and this one I think I will add to the list!

Renee said...

prairie said...

Thanks for letting us visit and have a chance to win something. I do a lot of hand work (applique' and embroidery) so I use sewing kits all the time. I keep several going at once, depending upon how ever many projects I'm working on. I keep a different sewing kit with each project. Would love to have one more!

Hi Carrie,
What a cute grandson you have!
I love your blog, and I thank the chance to win.
Every Christmas I like give the women of my prayer group a craft made by myself. They like a lot.
I was thinking about what to do for this year. This kit would be a good idea!
