Yes the day has finally begun. It is the SewMamaSew Giveaway Day which only happens twice a year.
Now before we go on to what I am giving away, please go over to my other blog 'Michell's Cross Stitch' and check out my give-away there too.
So what am I giving away today on this blog?
The first winner win get this lovely Moda Nostalgia Turnovers pack. This has 80 triangles and if you join the half square triangle blocks you will have a 5" square with seams.
The second winner will get this Pin Cushion and a Fat Quarter with a native New Zealand bird called the Tui on it.
Tui are common throughout New Zealand in forests, towns and on off-shore islands. They are adaptable and are found not only in native forests, bush reserves and bush remnants but also in suburban areas, particularly in winter if there is a flowering gum about.
These attractive birds can often be heard singing their beautiful melodies long before they are spotted. They are recognisable by their distinctive white tuft under their throat, which contrasts dramatically with the metallic blue-green sheen to their underlying black colour.
So what do you have to do to enter?
Just leave a comment. Any old comment will do.
I would love it if you would follow me, but that is not a requirement.
Only one comment please.
Entries close Friday 25 May 5pm PST or here in New Zealand that is 12pm Saturday
I will post anywhere and everywhere
Please make sure you are if you are a no-reply blogger to leave your email address, as if I can not get hold of you, I will redraw.
And don't forget to go over to Michell's Cross Stitch to enter another giveaway.
Good luck.
what lovely prizes Michell.cheers shez.xx

What a lovely bird that is, I do love learning about places I've never visited (I'm in Canada)
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, that bird is so awesome. I am a bird watcher and we have some pretty amazing birds too but nothing like that blue bird.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty bird ! We love to see new varieties at our feeders, but certainly haven't ever seen one like that !
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
A comment. Hmm. It's currently stormy outside, which is actually kind of nice. Although it makes me not want to go and check the mail.
ReplyDeleteI love precuts, and since I plan on doing charity quilts this year, it will help in making beautiful quilts, a lot faster and easier, for me.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
I love that bird! I'd also not heard of turnovers but it makes me want some cake!!
ReplyDeleteNostalgia is one of my favorite fabric lines! I do hope I win it and thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI think the turnovers would be so fun to play with!
ReplyDeleteTurnovers! I've only seen the strip and square pre-cuts before. It's nice to see something different!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaways!
ReplyDeleteThis is such gorgeous fabric.
I lived in NZ last year and was so so sad to leave, loved the Tui, what a crazy bird! Miss our life and home in NZ :(
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteYay for a kiwi blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I've never seen the Turnovers before either- it's a thing of myths here in the UK but I totally could use them- I hate cutting triangles and usually sew them as squares and cut them in half!
ReplyDeletecamping trip-thanks
ReplyDeleteI've never worked with triangles, but they sure look fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd I've wanted to visit NZ for ages. :)
I am a follower. I have not worked with turnovers before. Should be interesting if I would win!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance. I took a peek at your other blog and see you too love those ladies...I have Sabrina (Mirabilia) partially stitched. She'll be beautiful when finished.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this giveaway and the info on the Tui. I live in Texas, USA and our state bird is the Mockingbird.

ReplyDeleteIt's funny to me that that is that birds name. Tui is a beautiful town in Spain. It's in the provence of Galicia where my family is from. It was an christian episcopal see by the 6th century and was even mentioned by Pliny the Elder and Ptolemy. It's just across the Minho River from Portugal. Beautiful bird and beautiful town.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada! :D

ReplyDeleteThat is a truly beautiful bird. We like to keep track of all the birds we've seen in our back yard, but we're in WI, so definitely not one of those.

ReplyDeleteHello Michelle. Thank you for giving away such great prizes. I haven't heard about Turnovers before. I like the idea of being able to buy half-square triangles.
