It's that time again-- Giveaway Day! Here's what I have for you at the Sweat Shop:
And here's the back, made out of super soft corduroy: 
Some fat quarters I've been saving/hoarding from Anna Maria Horner:
Also, a pillow I made. Here's the front (careful viewers will see some AMH in here, too):
And here's the back, made out of super soft corduroy: It's on a 16" pillow form and it's an envelope back, so I suppose if you hate the pillow you can just use the form.
Now, the details:

ReplyDeletesomething about me - I am American, married to an Englishman I met in Israel and we live in Australia!
I'm Lia...I have two gorgeous little misfits and a self confessed fabric addict and craft/sewing book compulsive.....but I'm a generally happy person :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I would love to win! AMH is my alltime favorite fabric designer :)
ReplyDeleteSomething interesting about me. Actually there is nothing too interesting about me: I have my own little shop for bags on Dawanda (little sister of Etsy) and I sell mainly bags over there. I am a fabric addict and my fabric closet is way too crowded but somehow the world doesn't stop creating wonderful designs so each week it gets cosier and cosier in there.
I can't throw away any of my fabric scraps, I use them for making cards, quilts or boxes to keep my scraps :) Anything bigger then a thumbnail gets to be kept, a little creepy, but I just can't throw away fabric (anything else is fine!)
Thank you for this opportunity, I promise not to hoard this fabric and use it in my next quilt :)

Something interesting about me is that I was in a waterskiing show when I was in college! It was on a lake where we were always afraid there were snakes in the water so we never wanted to fall!
ReplyDeletewell, my daughter said something interesting yesterday! We were outside making a wreath, and it was chilly and she was tired so when we were walking back inside she said (in an exasperated voice) "my energy is out of breath". I thought that was an apt way of describing it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway, love the pillow!
Gorgeous pillow! You are so talented! I'm not sure this is that interesting, but I got hooked into sewing and quilting in 2007 and became obsessed. Before that, I couldn't sew a button on. Wait, I still can't sew a button on! But I can sew and quilt! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is on my list to make. You could save me some time. Yours is lovely!
ReplyDeleteSomething about me. Right now I am living in FL and my husband is living in NC. He just started a new job 3 weeks ago and I am dealing with the house and all the leftover issues in our home in FL. Three more weeks and he comes home for Christmas!

i LOVE anna! those fabrics are great. love the pillow too.
ReplyDeletei guess something interesting about me would be that i'm 28, and don't know how to drive a car. i have always been a bit afraid to drive, so i never learned. i walk everywhere. i'm also afraid of butterflies, and ferris wheels. :)
funny huh?
thanks for the cute giveaway. and happy birthday.

ReplyDeletevery nice stash of fabrics!
I love those fabrics and I just LOVE the pillow, I'll try to make a tote bag with that tree for me! I live in Chile and love sewing, it's quite expensive to buy fabrics from the States and have them deliverd to Chile, but I find a lot of nice fabrics in shops that sell fabric by the pound here!
ReplyDeleteLove the pillow - I made a shirt for my daughter based on that pattern.
ReplyDeleteInteresting . . my first job in Ottawa was on Parliament Hill . . i worked as an intern and worked with Members of Parliament on both the Government side and the Opposition - we did study trips too and visited legislatures in Brussels, Strasbourg (European Parliament), Uk (met the British Prime Minister), the US capitol, Toronto, and the far North (Iqaluit, Nunavut).

I hope you will take time and read my blog post from yesterday....and perhaps one I made back in August called My Birthday...NOT! My birthday is Dec 22nd...I hate it.

I got on one of those home reno shows, only to have them paint my living room two horrific shades of green and replace my sofa with three separate chairs. The funniest part was they made me pose with power tools, but I wasn't really allowed to touch them for insurance purposes. (They must have known I'm clumsy).
ReplyDeleteI love that pillow--and would use IT, not just the form! And that fabric is so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteMy birthday's also near Christmas, in January. Sometimes I open gifts on my birthday and find a note inside that says "Remember your Christmas gift." Haha.
A December birthday??? I have three grandchildren with December birthdays - one on Christmas Day. Happy early birthday.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics and the cute, cute, pillow.
That pillow is darling! Something interesting about me... syrup is my mortal enemy. My four children can cover every surface of my house with stickiness in twenty seconds flat.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
My birthday is the day after Christmas so I rarely get to celebrate. But that is just sad and not interesting. *laugh*
ReplyDeleteWonderful giveaway! Thanks for the chance.

ReplyDeleteHi here's my random piece of information about myself - I don't like to breathe 'recycled' air - this means I have to have the covers far away from my face when I sleep
ReplyDeleteMy interesting fact: I used to be part of a crew for a hot air balloon and have been on several flights. I absolutely long to get up in the air again, but there aren't any opportunities where I live now. One day, I hope I can be in a crew again!

ReplyDeleteWanna trade giveaway prizes?? LOL! Anyway, I think I'm pretty boring, not interesting...but I'll try. I've never been nicknamed - always Michelle, nothing shorter. Which was good - I grew up in a town of 850 people, and there was another Michelle (aka Shelli) that lived a block away from me our whole lives, born on the same day (different hospital), so I kept my name as is...

Another December birthday here -- mine is next week!
ReplyDeleteI recently got married and for the wedding instead of a guest book I made a guest quilt for everyone to sign. I made the quilt top and left it in 4 large pieces so it could be arranged on the table. Then people signed in fabric pens I supplied. It worked out SO well, I am so giddy to finish making the rest of this quilt. Also, this is my first time making a quilt, a friend of mine who is a pro is helping me.

Great prizes!! Okay, my interesting thing is that I got married one month before my 18th birthday. No shotgun or anything, I just really wanted that date and couldn't stand the idea of waiting a whole year! We're coming up on 5 years and each one has been better than the last!

ReplyDeletelove the pillow and the fabric! My birthday is December 12, I have the same thought as you. The whole world decorates just for my birthday :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's really interesting, I my birthday is in July and I love having it half way though the year, so every 6 months I either get Christmas or a birthday. I like your attitude- I guess you get lots of decorations for your birthday each year, too, huh. Hmm, something interesting. YOu never think yourself to be that interesting do you? We have 10 baby chicks and 3 pigs at the moment- is that interesting? I work with people who are dying (in palliative care), actually that might be interesting, it's a priveledge to be involved in palliative care.
ReplyDeleteOh, that pillow is so like one I'd wanted to make for my dear friend's new baby (her name is Sylvia, which means forest). Interesting is in the eye of the beholder...the only thing I couldn't stand to eat while I was pregnant was Goddess salad dressing.

I'm not sure how interesting I am but I think it's interesting that I will sing anything. Really, anything. Jingles, songs from kid's shows, anything I hear in the store or on the radio...my kids just love it.;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric and pillow! You already know I am a children's librarian, but I have worked there since high school - 13 years!
ReplyDeleteThe pillow looks great! I want to try that technique in a banner some time. I live in the Pacific Northwest, where it is green year round, and outdoor activities are limitless. BUT...I still think the Midwest plains (where I grew up) is the most beautiful landscape in the world!
ReplyDeletewhat a great giveaway. thank you for the chance to win....and thanks for coming to my bog as well and entering. good luck
ReplyDeleteNot love the pillow...nonsense! Both the giveaways are great and I hope I win!! Interesting about myself: I've been to the Amazon three times.
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway! Probably the most interesting thing about me is my husband and I are building a house ourselves. Lots of work but very gratifying!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteWeird fact:
I don't like most fish, but I will eat sardines!!

ReplyDeletegreat giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLet's see... something interesting about me... I used to hold a commercial drivers license because I drove campus buses in college.
Something funny and related is that I'm perpetually starting projects and leaving them unfinished. I need a serious deadline or for what I'm making to be a gift in order to stay on track. Otherwise, I'll go to the store to pick up batting to finish one quilt, and leave with yards of fabric to make another. But it keeps me busy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

Great giveaway! I collect turtles, I have ALL types of turtles, candle sticks to zipper pulls, over 300 turtles.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! My birthday is on valentine's day--always hated it. Thanks for the give away!
ReplyDeleteThat pillow! I saw a tute for it on SMS... I used to be allergic to apple juice. it made me super hyper! but no more, alas.
ReplyDeleteLovely pillow! I crack up my colleagues because I don't like giving my name to strangers on the phone when I'm placing an order... so whenever I order sandwiches I say my name is Skippy.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous fabrics and that pillow is way cute. About me..........I love crunchy peanut butter on bananas!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pillow!
ReplyDeleteLet's see ... my name is Jodi and I once visited the Elephant Sanctuary and walked among the elephants. Incredible Day.
Hmm, interesting? I spin my own yarn for knitting
ReplyDeleteI love pillows!! and this fabric is great!
ReplyDeleteSomething "interesting" about me is that I am a triplet! I was born on April 15th, 1980.
Happy Holidays!

ReplyDeleteInteresting thing about me - I was born February 29th, so I only get a "real" birthday every four years!
Hi, what pretty fabrics! My birthday is in March. I never liked it then, and always wanted to trade with my sister (hers is in july). that way I could have a pool party!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win.

Something interesting about myself--- When I was nine, I won a turkey and a pack of beer from a local radio station. I was sad when they'd only give me the turkey because I was nine (I had no idea what beer was then, just wanted to win it all!)!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I am a total AMH nerd, and that pillow is absolutely gorgeous. An interesting thing about me...we're moving across the country (CA to GA) tomorrow. And I'm surfing giveaways online. Gahh!
ReplyDeleteI love the pillow cover and fabric! Nice giveaway.
ReplyDeleteSomething interesting about me, huh? Well, I learned to sew when I was four, my grandmother taught me how. I love the color tangerine orange and my husband and I are attempting to buy our first house.
I am a woman and have a twin brother who doesn't look much like me. All our life when people who have met both of us hear that we are twins they ask, "Are you identical?"
ReplyDeleteHi Rachael,

Thi pillow would look amazing on my couch! Oh how I hope I win! :) Something interesting huh? Hmm...I am currently in Texas but my heart belongs up north in Alaska! Ahh someday!

Thank you for the chance to win the darling pillow and fabric. An interesting fact about me is that I won a destruction derby when I was 19 years old.
ReplyDeleteHave a great birthday and Happy Holidays.
The pillow is fantastic! It would be wonderful to win it. Hmmm.... something interesting about me? I know I can't ride a bicycle. I've tried for years but just can't get my balance. Weird huh?

ReplyDeletehmmm.. something interesting. People think it's weird that I am a grown woman who loves to play video games and craft. odd combo, i guess? =P
ReplyDeleteHere's something about me: I love to cook but I don't like eating it!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! thank you
What a lovely pillow (the fabric isn't too shabby either! Love it)
ReplyDeleteAs for me? Hmm...when I was a little girl I would love to watch old movies from hollywoods golden age and I wanted to grow up and marry Gene Kelly or Cary Grant.

Your pillow is gorgeous! I love it.
ReplyDeleteSomething interesting about me...
I cannot tolerate the texture of velvet. Even the thought of touching velvet makes me cringe... so I am cringing right now.
Happy Holidays! And thanks for the chance to enter your contest!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway! And I just love that you love having a birthday close to christmas. Two of my kids have close to christmas birthdays (December 15th & January 18th). I alway's wonder if it takes some of the joy out of having a birthday. Hopefully they will be like you and just enjoy the big stretch of celebrating!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI like to spin wool.
I'm glad to hear that you like having your birthday so close to Christmas. My daughter was born on Christmas morning and everyone feels bad for her. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love it all, something interesting about me is I can gooble and sound just like a turkey...
