May Giveaway Day!!!

Click the image to see the master list of giveaway contributors!
Oh Boy!!! OH BOY!!! It's that time again! And this year we are super excited to not only be hunting for giveaway treasures in the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day, but to be hosting as well!

I have recently become addicted to Charm Squares and am trying to develop the habit of automatically grooming all of my scraps from my sewing projects into these delightful 4 inch blocks. 
 Charm Squares are perfect for a variety of projects...especially when the work of cutting is already done for you! You can use them for quilts, clothing, bags, you name it!
 As you can see, my collection is growing rapidly!
So much so, I'm going to giveaway 100 different squares!
That's right 100 Charm Squares!!!
 PLUS...yes, more fun! I love using personalized labels in my sewing, so I'm going to share some of the great labels I've acquired with you too!
Aren't they cute???
Now, to get entered.

I crochet hats when I am just sitting and not near a sewing machine which I donate to my church's humanitarian projects and homeless shelter.

    guess what I have done most for others is quilted journal covers with the journal inside. Great gift for new home, hospital visit and more. Also bags. Some designed for walkers but convertible to shoulder.
