Contests

It’s that time of year again!  National Sewing Month begins today!  What will you make this month?  Try your hand at a new bag or scarf and enter the “Accessorize Your Life” contest.

We’d love to see what you’re sewing. Leave a comment and send us a picture.

Quilting Arts and Bernina are offering a free Bernina aurora 440QE (which features the much buzzed about stitch regulator) to the quilt artist who gives the best representation of this image:

The contest is called “Stitch This.” Make a 14 x 11 horizontal art quilt (or up to three quilts) and enter for your chance to win!

Details about the “Stitch This” contest can be found on the Quilting Arts site.  Be sure to pay close attention to the contest guidelines. 

And check out that prize!

101 One Yard Projects for Fabric Stashers!

Do you know a fabric stasher?  Or might you be one yourself?  Do you find yourself buying up yards of fabric with no immediate project in mind?  Do you know someone who does?  Then give the gift of purpose this holiday season: One Yard Wonders by Rebecca Yaker and Patricia Hoskings.  They’ve gathered 101 of the hippest projects you can make with one yard of fabric.  We fabric addicts at Havel’s Sewing can’t wait to get started. 

Enter to Win!

But, just in case your stash isn’t quite as healthy as you’d like, be sure to sign up for Storey Publishing’s Yard of the Month Sweepstakes.  Click here to enter.  Only one entry per person.  Contest ends in February.
