Fabric Jelly Roll Giveaway

Oh my stars and garters. I just found the giveaway of my dreams. Well, ok, maybe it’s just one of my dreams but who’s really paying attention. I’m a quilter and I have a strange addiction to fabrics. I walk through second-hand stores and garage sales looking for old clothes so I can cut them up and turn them into quilting material. That’s why this giveaway is right up my alley.

No, I’m not working toward a bunch of retro clothes, this giveaway is for a a jelly roll. Not the kind that you eat, sillies. This is for a fabric jelly roll. Within this jelly roll are 40 2-1/2″x44″ strips of material in vintage colors. I dig vintage stuff, and I think vintage materials make the coolest quilts. I’m not one of those fancy quilters with all the fancy machines. No, I cut out all my pieces by hand, pin them by hand, and sew them all up on an old 1970′s Singer machine.

If you’re a fabric addict, know that you are not alone. There’s no cure for our affliction, but with this giveaway being held at Audrey’s Give Aways and offered from Fabric Love, you can ease your fabric symptoms and get in on this giveaway. This giveaway through February 26th, and a winner will be drawn at 11pm Eastern time on the 26th.

Sterling Silver and Lilac Chalcedony Earrings Giveaway

I love earrings but can’t wear them very often as I’m allergic to most metals. So, when I saw this contest I was pretty happy. There’s a great giveaway going on over at Today’s Giveaways. They’re giving away a gorgeous pair of Sterling silver earrings with faceted Chalcedony beads. Sterling silver is one of the metals that I can actually wear.

Earring Exchange is an awesome little shop within the Etsy online mall. They specialize in earrings, but do have a few earring/necklace sets that are just cute. Nice thing about this site is that they’ve got free shipping on almost all their products, except those designed for the PIF (Pay It Forward) program. The PIF program works on a kindness scale. Basically, you can get some great deals on beautiful jewelry and all you have to do is do something kind for someone else.

I went through the whole site and found a pair of earrings that took my breath away. I love these things. They’re called the Beach Treasure #5 earrings, and they are just gorgeous. Those are the kind of earrings I could wear with a tank top or with my slacks and heels. Best part is that there’s no shipping on this pair.
