November Project - Gratitude Giveaway!

Gratitude Giveaways are my FAVORITE!!!! 

While I know you don't participate to get stuff, I am so very grateful for the way you all pour your hearts and generosity into our sewing projects each and every month. These little treats are my way of tangibly saying "Thanks!" for all you do for others. 

My friend Sondra at Contemporary Cloth has teamed up with me to create this awesome package of goodies! She has contributed that GORGEOUS bundle of organic fabric from the Safari Sweet collection. The prints are absolutely precious!!! And did I say Organic??? Because it is silky soft!

I've added a current, Winter 2013 copy of Quilter's World magazine, a template cutting set and a Sandy Gervais pattern, making this a gift with all kinds of potential!

Melissa at Sew BitterSweet Designs has created a giveaway bundle all her own to be given away to one of our participants too! Includes pattern, template & charm pack!

I will be randomly selecting 2 winners from the participant photos in our November Project Album HERE on Sunday, December 1, 2013. US Shipping included. (1 bundle from me, 1 bundle from Melissa) If you have been sewing along and would like to have a chance at one of these giveaway bundles, be sure and get your photo in the album! 

Contemporary Cloth Inc. is having a HUGE SALE right now too, so be sure and pop over to see what you might just "need" at a great price! ;) 

And THANK YOU!!!! Thank you for being a part of Hopeful Threads and joining your efforts with mine each month to make a difference by giving back! 

Mid-Month REMINDER + GIVEAWAY!

Whew! Not sure why specifically, a whole bunch of little things I suppose, but March has absolutely FLOWN BY! Can you believe it's time for our Mid-Month Reminder already????

Contemporary Cloth was looking for a special way to support our project this month and sent a box of Insul-Fleece to use for the Hot Pads & Oven Mitts. I've put a little bundle of fabrics together with it, including this panel fabric that will make quick and easy hot pads and wanted to share.

Contemporary Cloth - Project Donation!

When Sondra at Contemporary Cloth saw our project this month, she wanted to know how she could best help. Knowing how very cold the months ahead will be on the Reservations, she wanted to provide the fabric for a couple of quilts. So, she is sending an incredible bundle of these GORGEOUS Cloud 9 fabrics to Sew For Kids just for that!

The outer prints are all 100% GOTS Certified Organic Cotton Fabrics, and the center is an Organic Cotton Flannel for the backings, all from the incredible Cloud 9.

SWOON!!!!!!

I know Carol at Sew For Kids will turn these fabrics into some gorgeous, warm gifts for the Babies & Mamas of the Reservations! Enjoy Carol! :)

Thank you for this generous gift Contemporary Cloth! 

Your support is so very much appreciated!
