I love giveaway day held by Sew Mama Sew. Its such a great time to give back to community.
This year, I am going simple. In the 2.5 years of sewing, can you believe I have already purchased 650 yards of fabric from Hawthorne Threads!!!! I love their service and selections. I even purchase fabric for my Mum in New Zealand from them due to their fabulous international shipping/services.
So, I am giving away $75 gift card to Hawthorne Threads. Maybe you can pick up some of these new lines that I also just picked up (NOTE: images are screenshots of Hawthorne Threads New Arrivals section)….
So, to enter:

Factotum of Arts 
1. I want to make a quilt for my newest granddaughter. I already have the fabric. Just need to get some other projects finished and then I can start!
2. I really want to make a swoon quilt in navy and corals
3. The #1 quilt on my wish list is the queensize bed quilt design in my head for my niece’s wedding gift. She’s getting married this month, but I won’t be able to make it in time for the wedding due to other commitments. It’s getting quite insistent about being made, though, and the design is almost fully evolved in my mind! Getting it done would not only gain her a lovely quilt, but it will stop the dratted thing nagging me! Thank you for your past introduction to Hawthorne threads; I too buy a fair amount from them and find their selection and service second to none.
4. Oh, and as I’m a follower, this is my second comment! Fingers crossed!
5. I really want to do a Steampunk quilt…by hand.
6. My wish list is to make a Kim Mclean quilt. I love her applique
7. I’ve been finishing off old projects recently so right now my #1 project is something new!! I’m thinking a sampler quilt with liberty and some Alison Glass handcrafted. Thanks for such an awesome and generous giveaway!!

14. Gidday Michelle! After a few projects that I’ve already planned, number 1 on my wish list will be something for myself in pretty florals and colours. A bed quilt so it will need to be large and practical! Thanks so much for sharing….
15. Oh yep, I’ve been following along….

21. #1 project on my wish list – starting an Aviatrix Medallion quilt! I have a start in my stash for the bright fabrics that I want to use, but I could always use more for more variety.
22. I follow you on IG 🙂
23. I love making clothes for my daughter — a bit more modest, less trashy and better fitting than ready made. Poor thing needs a new summer wardrobe after growing almost 4 inches last year.

40. My #1 project on my wish list is to make another applique quilt, I have the pattern, I just need to finish off a couple of projects and then I’m good to go.
41. I’ve had an “ocean” quilt in mind for a year or so for my great niece–not exactly a graduation present, but she will be graduating. (I’ve made quilts for other great nieces and nephews, but she was born before I started that, and I am getting caught up.) I’ve been gathering fabrics ever since I got the idea, and I have the basic outline. Just not sure whether to piece in squares, triangles, or improv. Clearing out other small projects so I can make a decision and get started.
42. I am a follower on WordPress. And that is a marvelous giveaway!
43. My next project is to finally buy some Cotton & Steel for my next quilt. Love their new neutrals!
44. I have your site bookmarked and check it almost every day!
45. I really want to make a new quilt for my own bed. A bit of selfish sewing, I know!
46. Learning to machine applique is #1 on my list – thanks.
47. I’m a follower with Bloglovin’ – thanks again.
48. I’ve been following you on Instagram and I love your feed. Thank you for the chance to win a gift certificate from Hawthorne threads I also love that shop and purchase from them. I’ve been quilting for 20 years and have never worked with solids and improv. That is definitely what’s at the top of my list. I have gone through your posts and see that you teach improv one day I would love to take your class. Thank you, Lydia
49. I’m having fun with Dresden’s right now. Great giveaway…wow!
