National Sewing Month 2009 Contest

NSM logoIt’s time to start thinking about your entry for the 2009 National Sewing Month Contest!  This year’s theme is one that we creative quilters & sewers can easily relate to, “Reuse, Remake, Restyle”. 

Co-sponsored by the American Sewing Guild and the Sewing & Craft Alliance, the contest encourages sewing enthusiasts to “innovate while they recreate”, in the areas of home decor, fashion, quilts & accessories.  Three lucky winners will receive prize packages of equipment, tools, notions, fabric and more, including a selection of Marcus Fabrics. Contest ends September 30, 2009.

For extra inspiration, check out our feature on furoshiki, a creative way to use some of your favorite stash fabrics! 

Congrats to Our Giveaway Winners!

Recently we sponsored two fun fabric giveaways on The Fabric Shopper blog.  Jen in CT won a fat quarter pack of AMERICAN PASTIMES by Faye Burgos, and Sue from WA won a pack of Michele D’Amore’s HIPPIE CHICKS fat quarters.   Congratulatulations, ladies, and happy stitching!
