WooHoo!! Happy 10th GiveAway Day!!
3 Cheers to Sew Mama Sew for organising such a fun event.
I can never just pick 1 winner so I've got 2 giveaways on offer.
The First one is this bundle of text prints. Lots of fun wordy fabric to spruce up your projects.
I'm loving this fabric called The Lucky Country by Veritas Designs featuring names of Australian cities, towns and places.
It even has the Blue Mountains on it.
The second prize is a lot more colourful!
This book is such a joy to flip through. As the title suggests it's full of all sorts of fun, pretty projects for the home.
You'll want to make every project ...
Okay , here's what you have to do to win one of these great prizes.
Answer this simple question...
If you were going to a fabulous fancy dress ball who or what would you go dressed as?
Of course if you're a super duper follower you can have a second entry.
I'm happy to ship anywhere in the universe.
The winners will be picked randomly on May 10th at 5pm PST ( or the equivalent in Aussie time)
Normally I would to reply to comments but it's going to be a busy week of getting around to giveaways so I'll say a big Thank You now for visiting my blog and taking part in the fun.
Good Luck!
This Giveaway is now closed - thank you to everyone who entered - and for all your wonderful comments!!
The winner of the Text Fabric Bundle is JLVerde
And the Happy Home book goes to Lil'Monkeys Mama.

ReplyDeleteIf we're pretending, I'm going as myself when I was in my early 20s, and finding someone who could do period dresses along the lines of Cora's [Miller's Daughter] in Once Upon A Time. And then I would grow about 8" taller. lol

ReplyDeleteI have never been to a ball so .... I would go to a costume store and rent everything needed to go as Marie Antionette ... then perhaps can take a small quilty item using the Tula Pink collection.
ReplyDeleteI'm so not a princess, so maybe a princess.
ReplyDeleteI would go as marie antoinette
ReplyDeleteIf I still had my slim figure I would go as Cher in one of her not so daring Bob Mackie outfits. But alass no figure so something with a huge skirt like a Civil War Era Southern Belle
ReplyDeleteOne of the Disney princesses, for sure. Maybe Belle? Or whichever had the prettiest ball gown. I just want an excuse to wear something giant and frilly for once!
ReplyDeleteI think I would go as Indian princess
ReplyDeleteHmm. That's tough. I've never even thought about going to a fancy ball. But I have three young children, so my mind simply goes to Cinderella. Wow, that is a bad answer, but at least it's an answer. I would LOVE those text prints. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI follow you via my Reader, thank you again!
ReplyDeleteHmmm that would depends on my costuming options. Do I have access to anything I want? Then I'd go as Kaylee in her many ruffles from the Shindig episode of Firefly! If not... hmmm.. fancy huh?.... I could try and sew myself up a Tardis dress! I've already done a Tardis skirt so that's the most logical next step I believe! :)
ReplyDeleteCinderella! I love that yellow ball dress
ReplyDeletechristi(dot)joy(at)gmail*com

ReplyDeletejodym7atyahoo.com
What a super-duper giveaway! I've been to your gorgeous country four times, so your texty fabrics would be a very special win to me. Thank you for the chance! Oh, I'd surely be Cinderella in a silvery hooped ball gown with elbow-length gloves. And I'd flutter and flirts with a pretty fan too. Sounds dreamy.
ReplyDeleteOh, those texty fabrics!!!! I would dress up as Belle I think. Love that yellow dress!!

ReplyDeleteI would go as Marie Antoinette because that is my name
ReplyDeleteSo I'm going to pretend for a moment that this is a fancy dress ball that I've planned ahead enough for to find a dress(and found a friend who is better at doing hair than I, perhaps?) but if so, I'd totally love to do something sort of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's style.
ReplyDeleteAlso a follower.
ReplyDeleteHmm...maybe as Snow White :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the chance to win these!
Grace Kelly!
ReplyDeleteecisley(at)comcast(dot)net
I would love to win that Aussie text fabric! My brother and sister-in-law live near Brisbane. :-) (A very long way from Texas.)
ReplyDeleteGoing to balls is rather out of my interest. :-) No idea who I'd dress as even for a costume party. Perhaps Laura or Caroline Ingalls from the Little House Books.
