Give away day December 2015

Welcome to the second Giveaway Day of 2015.  Sew Mama Sew are kindly running their Giveaway Day again this week. Lots of bloggers join in and run give aways at the same time. After you've entered my giveaway by leaving a comment below on my blog, head on over to the Sew Mama Sew blog to view all the other great giveaways on offer. 



If it's your first time here, hi, I'm Wendy.  I live in Wellington, New Zealand with my husband and two sons.  I love to use bright colours in my quilting. Here's a few of the things I'm currently working on:

a bit of dressmaking


my la passacaglia

This is half of my la passacaglia quilt.  It's all English Paper Pieced, so it's taken all year to get this far.  I'm one of the administrators of the the Millefiori / la passacaglia facebook group.  If you're thinking about making one of these quilts it's a great group to join for help and advice.


my vintage caravan sewing machine cover

My favourite finish of 2015 - Home and Away - wool felt applique done by hand

You can see more of my finished quilts by clicking on the tab above. I also do embroidery, and I stitched the gingerbread village at the top of my blog over the past 4 years.

You can also follow me on Instagram at @wendysquiltsandmore.  I know you're really here for the giveaway, so I won't take up anymore of your time.  Here's what I'm giving away:

6 red / cream fat quarters - perfect for Christmas sewing
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

To enter, just tell me what your favourite TV series or movie has been this year

Homeland is my favourite TV series, closely followed by Downton Abby and Stella (from UK)

Followers old and new can get a second entry by leaving a second comment telling me how you follow. It could be bloglovin, feedly, GFC, instagram etc.

This giveaway is open to everyone (including international participants). If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave your email address in the comment.  The giveaway will stay open until 5pm Sunday 13 Dec 2015 (PST Time), and I will use the random number generator at random.org to pick a winner then. Good luck everyone!

I usually respond to all comments, but giveaways can generate a lot of comments, so I may not be able to respond to you all. Rest assured, I will read them all though.

Check out Sew Mama Sew to see a full list of participating blogs. Good luck!

I'm not a TV watcher and in fact don't have a television hooked up in the house. Did watch most of the Nebraska Husker football games --I did enjoy those, particularly the one against Michigan State. It was a fairly dismal (make that very) dismal season. Love your Home and Away quilt and your millefiore rosettes. I want to start that QAL as soon as I get my printer/copier set up.
