Think Spring Giveaway Over

Update: Congrats to #149 Catskill Quilter!!

You're the winner!


Tulips are up!

Trees are blooming with pretty pink flowers.



And birds are singing. Use your imagination.


I'm not chasing down a bird for a picture...why?


Because it's freezing!




It's not feeling like Eastertime here.




So our giveaway today is for one of our
spring-ish charm packs!





To enter the drawing,
answer this question....
Do you sew seasonally?

ie. in spring, do you sew spring items
or are you already working on

Halloween and Christmas?



We're hoping for sun.
We better go in,

little Hoopla is getting cold
in the wind.

Random drawing later tonight.

    I do sew seasonally. I just love the color changes and I tend to just sew with the mood outside! I am supposed to be working on a Christmas project and it is so hard to do this time of year!

    Hmmm... I guess I am a seasonal sewer. I tried to do a "fall" table runner the other day... had to abandon it. I just didn't 'feel it'. KWIM? I do live in the desert though in the Middle East. We have two seasons, hot and hotter.

    Well, sometimes I sew seasonally, like at the moment (I sew two table runners in Verna as easter presents for my and his parents). But sometimes I just sew what comes in my mind or if I see something what gives me inspiration and I have the supplies at home.
    Thanks for the great giveaway!

    That's such a good question! And something I tend to think a lot, because now, all sewy blogs are full of eggs and bunnies... What if I don't feel like eggs and bunnies right now? And why should I care about pumpkins and bats when october comes? I don't like sewing seasonally. For me, it can be spring in winter and winter in summer and fall in spring. I just let myself be carried away by colors and moods.

    Do I sew seasonally? Well, I certainly try but sometimes do not get quite done in time. For instance, I just finished quilting and binding my wonky star/house Christmas quilt this week and am quilting a 3 Wise Men Adoration wallhanging. they'll be ready for this season! I did pretty well with my table runners but still outstanding is June and December.

    ie. in spring, do you sew spring items
    or are you already working on

    Halloween and Christmas?

    I do sew some seasonally, but usually don't get in the mood to make a seasonal item until right at the season so it doesn't get done in time to use it that year. But I may drag it out later and finish and be able to use it the next year.
    Those spring fabrics look very inviting.

    I do have that in mind with good intentions, but it doesn't always work out. I am much too random a person to stick with a theme and still after all these years think I can get so much done in a short period of time (not!) Plus, sewing is my outlet, my creative fun..I don't want to be tied down. (Here I am justifying not getting everything done again)

    I DO do some seasonal sewing but in reality it usually doesn't work out so simple as that. For instance I made a Halloween quilt, started in Sept and finished it in Jan. Same thing with a Christmas quilt, started in July maybe and finished it in March. My intentions are spot on but my delivery is off by a mile. :)

    It depends on the purpose. For my etsy shop, I usually try to stay ahead of the season, so my shop is fully stocked. But for myself, I am constantly playing catch up. I'm still working on stockings and a tree skirt from last fall and finishing bed quilts for my kids' "new" rooms...started last July. It's a constant battle.

    I sew FAR in advance, because I want to get things ready for the fair, which is in July. So I will work on summer items in the fall, Christmas and Halloween items in January/February! The trouble is if you make Christmas items in time to use that Christmas, there's a chance they might get messed up or need laundered and then they won't do well at the fair! So I remove the temptation to USE them by crafting off season and then putting them away in the closet until the fair rolls around. Then I get to use all my new goodies throughout the next year!

    Seasonally. It is hard for me to work on Christmas any other time of year than that festive season!
