A sweet giveaway from me to you...& an inspirational find!


I thought it would be fun to have a short, little giveaway!!!
For two 100 yard rolls of seam binding...
in two gorgeous neutral shades!!!

You all know how much I love seam binding and
Zipperstop...my wonderful source
for all of the beautiful colors I use in my artwork!

These two rolls are brand spanking new and I simply unwound a few inches
to show you their pretty color.
Leather Tan is the darker shade and I use it SO MUCH!!!
The lighter shade is Chalk White and is a wonderful soft white shade...
Each one is perfect to have on hand for your creative projects!!!

Just leave a comment on this post and I'll select a winner this coming Sunday evening...
Contest ends Sunday, May 19th at 6 pm EST
I'll be sure to announce the winner soon after that!!!
PLEASE remember that if you don't have a blog,
leave your email address with your comment ~ xxoo









I just have to share the newest issue of Where Women Create with you!
I think you'll just love it as I do ~
There's some gorgeous studios inside and just beautiful photography throughout.

My pics aren't the best but you'll get the idea and
if you make it to Michaels, Hob Lob or the book store you can
take a peek inside and see what you think!














Good stuff, huh???
I'm working on a few more Flea Bags...
lavender sachets and an iPad sleeve...
Thank you always, always for stopping by to see me!!!

Wishing you a beautiful Tuesday precious friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

Hi, Dawn! You know how much I have fallen in love with Hug Snug...because you first introduced me to it :) I would love to be in your drawing for these lovely colors!

Thanks for the tip on "Where Women Create", too! I will have to check it out next time I am in Hobby Lobby! Looks wonderful! Hugs, Rebecca (I don't have a blog, but I know you have my email:)

Dorthe said...

Dear generous Dawn, what a sweet idea, to give away, something so wonderful as two rolls of seambinding!! I love it, and have bought some few rolls at Zipperstop ,as no other ribbon have the same sweetness ,I think.
The mag.looks great ,I wish I could also go have a look, in a danish shop, but no Stampington magazines are evailable in Denmark!!
I wish you a most beautiful day dearest Dawn- thankyou for the possibility to win :-)
Love and hugs,Dorthe

Hello sweet Dawn. How very generous of you to offer this seam binding as a Giveaway. I can't believe it but I have neither of these colours so how lucky would I be to win them.
We gals just can't get enough of this seam binding for our creations!

Thanks for the peek into the new issue of "Where Women Create" - that will probably be as close as I will get to that here in Australia too. Looks right up our alley!
Sending you love and warm hugs,
Suzy

How kind of you to have a giveaway! Are we in the UK in with a chance - it's ok if not, I know shipping costs are crazy, but if yes, then, YiPpEe! And thank you.

D Fritz said...

I have loved this seam binding since I cleaned out my grandmothers house over 30 years ago. She was a seamstress and had a stash of these bolts. I have enjoyed creating with them throughout the years and I am thrilled that they are still made today.

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

Great pictures in that new issue, Dawn! I'll have to look for it now. Please throw my name into the hat for the seam binding. I love to keep some neutrals on hand for when inspiration strikes!

Lisa said...

Hey girl,

Maureen said...

Awesome Dawn! You know how much I love your work - my lavender sachet arrived yesterday!!! I don't know how, but it is even MORE beautiful in real life! Thank you so much! I have never had anything lavender scented before - it is wonderful and gracing my studio just like your Joy pot! Thank you so much, my friend, for making it for me. I treasure both your creations. Of course, I would love to win your seam binding and try my hand at creating with it too!

Mimi Cross said...

Dawn, Your gift is so generous. Thank you for the opportunity to win these yummy colors. I'm feeling guilty signing up after reading your international followers who don't have access to Hug Snug. mimicross22@gmail.com

Sue Kosec said...

Ohhhhhhhhhhh Dawn, yes, please!!!! I always say: "a project isn't complete without seam binding" ... and this would certainly help all of my projects.

I've been meaning to tell you (for several years now - shame on me for the delay!!!) that YOU are the wonderful person that hooked me up with Vicki Boster. It was on your blog that I found her and since then the two of us have created a great bond. So, for that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

PS - isn't Vicki the most wonderful person EVER?
