Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!

** Comments are now closed! I'm drawing the winner shortly. **

It's here! It's here! It's finally here! Welcome to the Hip to be a Square Podcast and bloggy-type thing! I'm pleased to be giving away several items for this Giveaway Day.

The first is a matching notepad cover and travel tissue holder. The notepad is a standard 5x8" size, and the notepad and tissues are included. The print is sort of a funky jungle print with some olive green and purple. The notepad tutorial is modeled on Erin Compton's design, and the tissue holder design is my own.


The second item is a combo of sorts - a mini cutting mat with 4 1/2" square ruler and 2 FQs from my stash- a brown/white swirly print and a cowboy print.

The giveaway will be open until noon Eastern December 17th (Friday!). All you have to do is leave a comment with which item you'd like, either notepad or FQs or both (as some people don't make stuff but like to get handmade stuff). I'll use a random number generator to pick the winner for each item, and email the winners Friday night.

I hope you'll take a listen to a podcast, or maybe check out some of the things I've worked on. You don't need an iPod or MP3 player to listen - you can do it right from your computer! Just click the "Click to Play" link in any of the episode posts.

Thanks!
