Giveaway Day is a fun event organized by the gang over at Sew, Mama, Sew and it is a great way to meet a whole lot of bloggers and crafters and take a look at lots of great projects and ideas! So, without further ado, here is my giveaway:
My prize is this pillow cover which will fit a 20" x 20" (50cm x 50cm) pillow form (mine is being modeled an an Ikea feather-filled version). The pattern is by Tacha Bruecher for Moda Bake Shop and I downloaded the tutorial last fall, when it was featured on their site. The fabrics on the front are Juggling Summer by Zen Chic. The back is more Juggling Summer and a Kona solid and the binding is a small Windsor Lane check by Bunny Hill Designs.
With the pillow form inside, this would be quite a beast to mail but a replacement one can easily be found at places like Ikea (they have feather ones and non-feather ones at a good price), Michael's, Jo-Ann's, Walmart, or your friend's and neighbour's couches. By sending the top only it is easy to make this open for interenational friends to participate! The draw will be open until 5:00 PM PDT on Friday, May 10 (gotta like 5:00 on a Friday!) and I'll announce the winner shortly thereafter.
Thank you so much for coming to visit! If you'd like to enter, leave me a comment and tell me something you like about summer. I like a lot of things about summer, but one of my favourites is knowing the farmer's market will be open again! What about you?
Linking up to Giveaway Day here!

ReplyDeletewarm weather!!!

ReplyDeleteI like most things about summer - I live in London so it never gets unbearably hot. I like that it's light outside when I go to work and when I come back, my flatmate grows vegetables on the balcony, I don't have to wear cardigans and jackets everywhere that I then end up leaving behind accidentally…
I also love ice cream and you don't have to convince people that it's an ok thing to eat when it's summer! I could eat it year round.
