Tis the Season...For a Giveaway!

This giveaway is now closed - thank you for playing!


Quilting Gallery is hosting another fun Blog Hop Party this week so everyone plop down for just a bit in your cozy spot and take the time to join in on the fun. Quilting Gallery is celebrating a birthday - 5 years! Click on the above link in order to see the list of participating bloggers starting on Monday.


There are lots of blogs to explore and visit and while you are up to your elbows in Christmas preparations, this is a nice way to enjoy a bit of fun and hopefully win a little something for YOU. This is what is up for grabs from the end of the dirt road:


There are 2 - 1/2 yard cuts of Power Pop by Jenean Morrison for Free Spirit and a Mighty Bright Lighted Seam Ripper. I'll even send it to you in this cute little Christmas drawstring bag.


Heaven knows I made enough of them this year! I love these little bags, but those of you that read here, already know that! For those of you that don't, welcome! Here is the tutorial from Jeni at In Color Order. If I ever send you anything, it'll probably arrive in one of these bags. I'm a little obsessed. :)

I'll even sweeten the deal with some chocolate because after all...tis the season! :)

My giveaway is open to everyone, far and wide. If you have a mailing address, and you are chosen as the winner, I will send it. The only rule is that you HAVE to leave me a way to contact you if you are a non-reply blogger.

 Just leave me a comment telling me if you have all of your Christmas shopping finished. I'm betting some of you even have everything wrapped!

Entries will be accepted until midnight, Friday, December 15th (EST).  The winner will be announced on Saturday because at midnight EST I will be settled in for a long winter's nap. Thank you so much for stopping in and putting your name in the hat! Y'all have fun!

  2. Heck no! I purposefully save some shopping for late in the season ... don't laugh ... because I like to go out in the hustle and the bustle and smile and spread good cheer! :)

  3. Yikes! I still have to finish quilts for my 4 grandchildren! Tops are finished ~ whew, glad that's done. Thanks for the giveaway. I love reading blogs but don't yet blog myself. I can be reached at rcoyle@olemiss.edu.

  4. No Christmas shopping done here, but we don't do much in the way of shopping for Christmas. It's mostly food and spending time together. That seam ripper looks like just what I need.

    ReplyDelete
  5. No my shopping is not all done but most of it is. I enjoy reading your blog and like hearing about what is going on at the end of the road!

    ReplyDelete

  7. I have all my Christmas shopping done! Nothing wrapped, though ... have to save a little fun for later ... ;) Thank you for hosting this giveaway. The little drawstring bag is sew cute and a lighted seam ripper would sure come in handy ... fabric and chocolate, too ... oh, my! ... :) Pat

  9. I haven't started ANY Christmas preps! I guess it will be gift cards for everyone and I can continue quilting!

    ReplyDelete
  10. I hope to be done tomorrow. Will go to our local John Deere Implement dealer and check out there toys for our 2 grandsons. They love them some JD green combines and tractors. So enjoy your blog. Thanks for the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I have most of it done. I still need to pick up a few things and wrap everything!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I don't have my shopping completely done, but it's pretty close. No wrapping done though.

  13. Hi Karin,
    What a fun giveaway you are having. I have not seen a lit seam ripper but it sounds like a terrific idea to me.
    Thanks for participating in the hop.
    I am not done yet- in some departments,I have a long way to go. I do have quite a few things in the gift box that will work for my short list of people. Sometimes the hardest thing is for me to choose from what I have already gathered as I buy all year long.
    Hope you get lots of visitors from old and new friends.
    Regards,
    Anna

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hi Karin,

    ReplyDelete
  17. I am close to finished, have half wrapped and need to get one posted tomorrow! Thanks for the chance at your wonderful giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  18. We have all my son's gifts but I need two more gift cards and have to figure out what to get my mom! Nothing is wrapped yet. DH will be off the two weeks before Christmas and I hope to get lots done then (fingers crossed).

    ReplyDelete
  19. I know what I am getting for every one. Most of them are gift cards b/c I will be traveling for the holidays. I still have a bunch of sewing to do.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I had finished purchasing. Now is the time to gifts wrapping :D

    ReplyDelete
  21. Just found your site, and must get it marked in my favorites. Christmas gifts are all made and wrapped and the cards posted.. just a few cards left to give to people I will see before Christmas [ postage is SO expensive].

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yep all shopping done, & all pressies wrapped last week, freakishly organised? Nah, the house I am renting is up for sale, so they had to be done early and out of the way. There are 3 handmade pressies, not quite, er hand made yet, so I suppose that counts as not quite done :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Gosh no.... I am a last minute shopper :( Thanks for a lovely giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Christmas shopping done??!! Are you kidding Karin??! LOL I haven't even STARTED!! aaargh. I haven't even been able to MAKE anything! My 8month old keeps me way too busy. Thanks for the fun giveaway.

  25. My christmas shopping is done.
    Thanks for the give away.

    ReplyDelete
  26. No where near!! I am expecting my third baby, due in January so everything else has kind of been pushed aside! We had to get so much stuff down from the attic! I am working on making some gifts and just hope I can get them done in time!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I do have all the shopping finished and some of it wrapped. I like to add a few presents at a time under the tree because of how pretty it looks.

    ReplyDelete
  28. My boys are at the age where they just want money to pool together for a larger purchase. We will get them some surprises though and I have fun stuffing their stockings. I am getting my husband violin lessons, so nothing to wrap there either. He will need a surprise, too :-) Thanks for the chance to win - I love Power pop and i need a lighted seam ripper!

    ReplyDelete
  29. We're not totally done, but really really close! I have already wrapped what we have, though, so it's a downhill slope from here.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I have all my shopping done--but have quite a bit of making yet to do. I also just learned from my kids that I need to take THEM shopping (when did they get big enough to think for themselves?!) So I still need to do that shopping.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Every time I think I'm finally finished, something else comes to mind....so I'm still working on it.

    Your bag is adorable!!

    ReplyDelete

  34. I haven'teven started shopping - crazy right? It's just me and my husband and we went on a cruise in September - that was our big Christmas/Anniversary gift to each other. Need to find a few little things for his stocking tho. Thanks for the give away!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I am done with shopping, wrapping, and my SIL does all the baking - I cook the turkey and everyone brings a dish to pass - so I am ready to relax and enjoy the season.

  86. I'd look forward to that drawstring bag. Bags have been popular for awhile but I don't want to make one - seems like just plain sewing, not so much quilting.

  120. The tree is decorated and the presents that have been bought are wrapped and under the tree. I would like to buy another present for my husband. I will just that into a Xmas bag. I still need to make some homemade salsa. I haven't had the priviledge of owning or making a drawstring bag. I really want one. Just think of all the goodies and chocolate you could stuff into that bag. Thank you for the wonderful chance to win your goodies. Happy Holidays.

SOOOOO, when he comes here momma will take him shopping.

    ReplyDelete
  153. We haven't even started...my husband and I do an all night shopping spree while the kids are snug in their beds and the sitter is in. It is usually an 20 hour shopping marathon but since we live in a village it just makes more sense for us. The only down side is that it's a little harder to get in the HOHO spirit!

    ReplyDelete
  154. Yep, done shopping and done making......nothing is wrapped:). Always something to do last minute.

    ReplyDelete
  155. Nope. Have not started. Work and too many ill relatives, so really not in the mood. Love looking at Christmas through blogs.

    ReplyDelete

  159. Shopping? Are you kidding? I haven't even started yet. I was thinking today that I need to get on the ball because time has a way of slipping away from me and it will be Christmas here before I know it. Thank you so much for the giveaway.

  160. OOoh I would love to win because I bought some fat quarters of Power Pop and could use that to add to what I already have. I love that little bag. Super cute.

    Shopping? Huh? We're supposed to do that before Christmas eve? Really? People DO that? LOL
    Seriously, the budget this year has been a mess so sadly, it means we will be some of those crazy people out shopping just before Christmas. SO not looking forward to that.

  162. What a fun giveaway :) Presents all made, bought, and "unwrapped". We are taking on the my husband's family tradition of having Santa not wrap gifts, but set them gently under the tree. Apparently all the rushing around HE has to do, something had to give. It works out great. Our now 5 yr old is the slowest unwrapper at other's homes, that we can actually be finished before sundown this way. For those gifts given outside the home, we use my fatquarters and ribbon since I am allergic to tape :)
    Happy Holidays!

  164. What lovely fabric and that's a neat seam ripper with a light. I have not seen one of those before. I'd also like to Thank your son as well as you and your family for his and your military service and sacrifice. My son just returned from fto
    deployment in Afghanistan (also Marine Corps) and I know it's the whole family that gives.

    Thank you for a great giveaway and a chance to win.

  184. What an awesome giveaway! Chocolate and fabric is the perfect combination. ;) Normally I would be done with my Christmas shopping already but we moved earlier this summer and are still buying furniture. I am WAY behind in my Christmas preparations and have a feeling some people will be getting their presents late. We're trying to finish on time, though! Thanks for the chance to win and Merry Christmas!
