A Special Day Giveway!

Well the big day has arrived, my little girl has turned three!



And my husband and I have been married for 5 years today.  Yes, that's right, Freya was born on our 2nd wedding anniversary, so big celebrations all round :-)







So what better way to celebrate, apart from drinking champagne and eating cake, than to have my very first giveaway. 

Cut a long story short, my lovely husband bought me my favourite quilting book for Mother's Day - it's so much my favourite that I had it already!  (He did try, bless him).  So I have a spare copy of this, wonderful, colourful, inspiring, delicious book, Material Obsession by Sarah Fielke and Kathy Doughty.


Product Details


It is full to the brim and bursting with vibrant quilts, many of them lovingly hand quilted, and it has been my inspiration for trying new techniques (hand quiltling included, which I love) and for putting fabrics together that I might not normally consider.  For me it is my must have book, and a constant source of reference and inspiration.  (Along with Material Obession 2 and Quilting From Little Things, also by Sarah Fielke). 

So, would you like a chance to win a copy??!  All you have to do is:

1) Become a follower and let me know
2) If you are a follower already, let me know
3) And for a second chance to win, tell me your perfect way to celebrate a special occasion - just a bit of fun! 

I shall be using the random number generator to pick the winner on Friday 13th July - could this be your lucky day?!  Entries welcome from everyone, I just want it to go to a good home and be loved as much as I love it.

Good luck!  x

  8. My favorite way to celebrate is a summer vintage tea party in our garden. Unmatching china, crusts cut off sandwiches, cake, a white marque and loads and loads of Bunting. I am already a follower. x

  9. I love the Material Obsession books - I love the fact that the 2 designers use the same materials and the same basic inspiration but then come up with 2 completely different quilts. Happy Birthday to your little girl and congratulations on your wedding anniversary! Just looked it up and the gift for a 5th anniversary is "wood" - a new sewing table maybe? ;)

  10. What beautiful wedding photos - thanks for sharing them. Hope your day was special.
    My favourite way to celebrate is just to be together doing something simple, like sitting on the beach, or having an icecream somewhere - just so long as we're together.

  12. Hmm, the tendency around here is to celebrate with a nice bottle of wine, or maybe even a special dinner out! :) Basically we like to splurge with edibles.

  26. Wow, I am not sure how to celebrate a special day because I try to celebrate every day that I wake up :)

    I guess for the big milestones, I celebrate those with a trip somewhere so I can make a super cool memory
