Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day

** This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to the winners Cindy Weaver & Mrs Quinn! Both have been contacted via email. Thanks again to everyone who entered and for all the book recommendations, I am sorted for Summer reading**

Hello!! This is my first Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day (at least as a giver - I have entered lots of times though!).

I am very excited to be able to participate. 

If you are popping over from the giveaway, then here is a bit about me: my name is Hayley and I have been sewing for a bit over two years. I started sewing when I was pregnant with daughter number two. I have two girls affectionately known as Ms Moo and Ms Bird - hence the blog name - and a very tolerant husband who puts up with my sewing addiction and bits of thread all over the house. My first sewing love is quilting, but I also love to make bags, purses, pillows and more recently have been making some clothes. I live in beautiful Sydney, Australia. I have a ridiculous number of WIPs but 2016 is going to be all about finishing (some of) them off! Have a sticky beak around and if you like what you see I'd love for you to pop back from time to time and see what I have going on. 

But now to the main event!! Today I have these two pencil cases to give away. Since there are two pencil cases, I'll pick two winners.

The prize!

What's on the inside

What do you have to do to win? Just leave me a comment telling me whether you would prefer to win the low volume or black one - the first one I pick will get their choice first. And if you want to leave me a book recommendation for my Summer holidays, that would be nice too. That's it - no other hoops to jump through.

I'll pick the winner Sunday 13th of December and I'll ship internationally. Now get back over to the giveaways and get entering!

(I try to reply to comments, but I am anticipating lots for the giveaway so please don't be upset if I don't reply to you. Let me just say good luck here!)

Winner, winner, chicken dinner

Without any further ado, the winner of the Sea Star quilt pattern is.....

LIZ HORGAN

Congratulations, Liz! I'll be sending you an email shortly. If you are bummed not to be the winner and want to get your hands on your copy, you can get it here,here or here.

I don't have any sewing related photos to add, but a rainbow like this sure seems lucky!

I'm keeping it brief since I am on holidays with the family.

There will be a bit of radio silence until we get back home anyway, because I dropped my phone in the toilet. Sigh. To be clear, it fell out of my back pocket, I wasn't using it in the toilet. Miss Moo was with me and she was devastated because the case had a love sticker on it. I was also devastated although for different reasons.

Thanks everyone for entering my very first giveaway. It was fun!
