market tote giveaway.
***THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!***
I have good news and bad news. The good news is I'm giving away a market tote in honor of Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day! The bad news is I ran out of time tonight to finish it! Here's another market tote I've made recently so you know what they look like.
The winner will also get some precut fabrics to make another market tote as well! A little Hope Valley and some chocolate brown linen.
To enter, simply leave me a comment! Be sure to include an email address for me to contact you at if it isn't linked in your profile. International entries are welcome.
Followers of this blog get an extra entry, so leave a separate comment letting me know that you follow this blog.
The giveaway will remain open until Thursday, May 20 at 11:59 pm Central time.
I will be picking a random winner on Friday morning!
Welcome to Bijou Lovely. This blog is named after my great grandmother, Bijou Lillian, who encouraged me to embrace all the lovely things that the world has to offer. I hope to provide you with inspiration for sewing, quilting, photography, design, and daily life here at Bijou Lovely! It's truly lovely to have you here.
I use a bag like this every day to take my things to work (as a teacher I am always toting an odd assortment of stuff to and from school) and it's falling apart! It would be wonderful to win a new one, especially in such beautiful fabrics!
ReplyDeleteYay! What a great giveaway.
ReplyDeletelovely, lovely totes and your fabric choices are gorgeous, too! I'd love to win. Stop by and enter for my mini-quilt!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm ... chocolate (linen) ... ;)
