Saying Thank You

The time has come to say thank you to a lot of friends. Let me start with Stephanie @ Late Night Quilter. She was so very nice as to send me this lovely necklace with a fabric charm. It's beautiful and I love it. 

This was the prize for joining the linky party Tips and Tutorials Tuesday she hosts with Michelle on their blog. Every week very useful tips from the hosts! 

Stephanie and Michelle are so generous they have even posted a tutorial for making these "Fabric mood necklaces" here.

I would also like to thank everybody for joining in our Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day. The winner is:

To join the giveaway you were asked to comment telling the name of one of your favourite sewing blogs/sites and can I say I was really impressed by all your comments. I really like it that everybody took the time to answer the question and I was very surprised by the number of different blogs/sites mentioned. Impressive. A lot of blog and sewing love!

Thank you for joining in!
