Thank You + Ann Kelle Fabric Giveaway

Dear sewing friends,

Today, I'd like to say thank you for using your talents to inspire others and bring joy to those in need! I always knew that sewing people were the most generous bunch, but it's a great reminder to see those finished NICU charity smocks arriving on my doorstep day after day. So, thank you!

If you'd like to join the NICU charity sew along, there's still time! You can find all the info here and join the Facebook group here.


ann kelle giveaway

Today I'd like to offer a big thank you giveaway to my readers and friends sewing along with us in the NICU sew along.

Enter for your chance to win a yard each of these new (not yet in stores!) Ann Kelle Urban Zoologie Minis fabric in three designs, which would be perfect for your next charity sewing project. These were generously donated by the designer herself as a way to say thank you for everything you do.

Good luck, sewing friends, and keep on using your love of sewing to bring joy to the world around you! Giveaway open worldwide through 9/19.

There is so much joy in making something that will be used and cherished... and bring some smiles for (maybe a bit stressed-out) families of these tiny gifts of love).
