I am moving my studio. It is a complex process, that started with some repairs. I spent lots of time preparing, arranging, painting... Tones of time actually. And today I sew in the new studio for the first time. Half of my fabrics are still in bags, waiting for me to paint their new home. Most of the things have no place yet. Still it was nice to sew again. Check this giveaway. I will say just one thing: Ravenhill! Yay - it is hosted there :). Same style, same beauty and talent in a lovely textile form. Hmm, I am in a giveaway mood lately...

I promised to show what I will sent and I do sorry for this. I had to change my plans for the day and was not able to make a decent picture. So...  I am showing some of my stash. You can get a general idea but it will be a surprise. I am moving my studio now so selecting and documenting fabrics in a single day is a difficult task to do these days. I will be sending fat quarters.  A selection of several different fabrics so you can get variety. Feel free to comment here or the previous post. Commenting two or three times will still give you one entry to the draw.

I just found this new sewing community. It is launching the site tomorrow! So make more sewing people happy, the launch is celebrated with a massive blog giveaway! Yay! Not too late to learn about it, participate and win! :) You can register to win prized and host a giveaway on your blog. Click on the beautiful logo here to learn more. I am joining the fun too. It is a day before the big day, so... : :: Tomorrow I will show you what I will sent to a lucky reader of my blog /I suppose it will be Bulgarian fabrics to keep it interesting as you will get something you can not buy in your part of the world/, :: I will keep the giveaway open till June 9th - open on June 8th, winner announced on early June 9th (GMT). :: you can comment on this post and the one I will write tomorrow with the fabrics I will send.

Here is a glimpse of the pile. It is not a huge one and buttons to be included will be surprise, but it will be nicely wrapped and you will get 4 coasters, 3 fat quarters and a lovely lets say fat eight piece, plus the secret buttons. All fabrics are new and pre-washed /I am not used to storing anything before pre-washing/, all 100% fine Bulgaria cotton, in three prints - flowers, paisley and stripes. I think pieces are slightly over the fat quarter size. They are all cut by me  and my scissors so might be a little bit wonky. Coasters are made by me. Finished today! They are so simple, but I hope you will like the splash of colour they add to your favorite cup of tea/coffee. Backed with bright aqua. More pictures to be published later as I am in a hurry now. To enter the giveaway please tell me: How do you decide your stash is enough /no matter if it is yarn, fabric, trims, etc./? Is there something like sufficient stash, actually? The give away will be open for a week - till the end of the week. Good luck!

The coasters will be made by me, and the fabric will be fine Bulgarian cotton. The actual bundle will be shown here in the next couple of days. It will be send to one of the lovely people, who would stop for a moment and comment, answering my question, on this post, or the one with the pictures.

I will organize another giveaway here for the first year of my blog by the end of the week. Technical note: There were 99 comments here, including some generated from the blog /first two, one written by me, and some with no answer for my request for some info about yourself or your creations.... so decided to pick up a number between 1 and 99 and do it again in case it is mine, my blog', or not eligible comment. Lucky enough the first generated number was eligible. buy omnicef antibiotic

I started this blog on Feb 5th 2008. I was used to reading blogs but have no idea how to organize and maintain mine and it was a very difficult moment for me and my creations even without this new adventure... I started a wordpress.com blog, and after a few months incorporated it into my own site, I spent some time learning the essentials of blog maintenance and upgrading... It was a long journey on all the technical aspects. But I love and enjoy the creative and social aspects of blogging so much! Thank you for visiting me here, for the comments you have left here and for the inspiration I found on your blogs!

My giveaway is almost done I just have to send the cards. I learned a lot. It is fun. It takes time. It allows one to find new blogs. It gives a flow of positive energy. It also makes you try and give something to the kind people who took the time to visit you virtually. Well, I am giving something to one of you now. But you can go and check the Ocean Waves Quilts Blog and see the nice things she makes and the Beachcomber Quilt pattern and fabrics kit she will send to someone on the occasion of her 1-st year blogging anniversary! And the kit itself looks so nice! Wishing you good luck!
